Chitown Storm Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 1/2" of snow in the grids for tonight. Looks like the high temp has already been reached here at 46F. Wind starting to howl. First flakes at MSP last year were Oct 18, first accumulation was Nov 4. This would be damn early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chitown Storm Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 It was in the low 80s here last weekend. Boats and bikinis on all the lakes. One week later first frost and flakes, and people will be pulling their docks out of the water.

weatherbo Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 The sun made a rare appearance so I decided to take a break from working on my house and hike the 25 acres of property that came with it. Still adjusting to just how remote it is here. Haven't seen a car or person in 3 days temp has fallen to 49 but the wind is relaxing... not too shabby! driveway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherbo Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Nice pics. Looks like black bears might like to spend time roaming around through your yard as well lol.I met a neighbor down the road a few days ago that warned me of a big blk bear that has been raiding his bird feeders and also a pretty brave wolf that has been coming close to his house at times and doesn't shoo off easy. He found a gutted deer with it's throat torn up too. He said it was a pack of coyotes... Down to 42 with some sprinkles starting. Forecast has snow by morning.
