Im the same. Got tye Halloween/Fall decor down now bringing up the Christmas tubs. I actually would rather have milder weather to start November to finish raking, winterizing, decorating because often times it bodes well for cold/snow near Thanksgiving. No guarantees of course. My mind is ready for snow, but i know hiw November weather patterns work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherbo Posted yesterday at 03:23 PM Share Posted yesterday at 03:23 PM A wet week with a gradual cooldown. In most years winter sets in quick in the north come November. Mother nature has different ideas this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that mean only 20inches of snow on your roof in March instead of 100(or however much is in those crazy pics that make me envious you post) lol? Hope not. I know down here I'm not looking forward to this winter. While snow is not out of the question a "Vancouver" style winter seems to be in the works with miserable drizzle and 35-40 degrees. I swear, winter weather like that is colder than snow and 10 degrees. Good luck to you up there and looking forward to some snow pics. We may need them down here lol. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted yesterday at 04:01 PM Share Posted yesterday at 04:01 PM Was going to do some leaf mulching this morning, but we're getting some mysterious wind-blown drizzle well out ahead of the storm system. Precip tomorrow looks pretty showery, so good chance many local areas get bypassed by decent rainfall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is exactly why when it comes to winter, I'd rather it just be boring than WAW. I think this is what separates the real real heads from semi-posers. Any other time of the year, sure, break the monotony up. But rain at slightly above freezing is downright the most dogshit ass weather you can get imo. I'll gladly layer up and go strolling in arctic conditions, but what the fuck are you gonna do outside in 33 and rain? And frankly, light rain from a cloud deck one physically cannot discern is incredibly dull in my eyes, so all that's left for me personally is to get tilted over the fact that it's snowing instead of raining.

My expectations are set for a mild winter. The last 2 were cold and a raging nino is in place. Its gonna be mild. My hopes are on a few good snowstorms as often are the case in Nino. Thinking we see about a 30 inch winter here. More importantly, this is my FAVORITE time of the year. I obviously prefer snow but no weather ruins the Christmas season for me (and yes lm one of those where Christmas runs November thru mid January lol). January and beyond is when my patience wears thin and I get very grumpy if its not snowing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve done it a bunch during the winter/spring on those miserable <40 degree and rain/misty days. I’ve found the heavily forested areas even without leaves can shelter you from the raindrops a solid amount. Evergreens are your best friend year-round! If you ever need a spot to shake off some water on you or need a quick spot to dry off! Also nothing quite beats that lovely fresh rain smell you get inside of a forest preserve! Waterproof boots and a solid rain jacket are a must tho. Coupled with a thermos full of a hot liquid and you can enjoy yourself for an hour or two. After a while you just get used to the wetness and become a kid again out in nature. Preparation is key though. I walk dogs as a job throughout the year in all conditions rain snow or shine. I’ve learned over the years that eating a big meal beforehand really helps me stay warmer when I’m outside with the dogs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i know its not for everyone. When there isnt snow for a prolonged period, I 100% would rather take a walk in wad or cad than rain. I never take a walk in rain unless its a necessity. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted 18 hours ago Share Posted 18 hours ago Weather is my biggest hobby during winter. Ideally CAW suits me in the winter months but I will gladly settle for WAW. WAD just does not work for me for weeks on end. I will find something to do in the rain. Plus this area needs the moisture. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
