Your Weather, 2026

The Weather Service is reporting 5 inches of snow fell tonight. Travel is disrupted with interstate highways closed for several hours. Idaho into Montana is being hit hard right now.

I was out shoveling the walk from the front door and the sidewalk from 10:30 to 11:30, trying to get a jump on travel for a morning appointment. One doesn't make quick progress with that much snow. It's now January 8th and the snowstorm has mostly passed. I finished a midnight bowl of Honeycomb cereal with a banana and feel that I can return to bed for some sleep. Good Night ...

foggy this morning in parts, going to continue to be warm for a few more days before the cold returns.

Woke up to an even minus 30 today but by morning it’s suppose to warm up - - to minus 20! In a day or so it will be snowing with a predicted 4-12 inches.

None of the above thwarts my enthusiasm and the Celery & Parsley will go in the soil in a couple more weeks!

All of that snow sounds kinda fun if you don't have to drive in it! Are you going to build a snowman? The last one I built was five years ago. I think it's time again!

The snow looked like the picture I posted in the coffee thread. With temperatures rising slightly above freezing by afternoon, it began falling from the trees but it is still up there in the evergreens .

My first thought with snow here at home is how I can easily move around in it. That means shovel work. With all that tossing about, a snowman could be sculptured, I suppose. Rolling it into ball wouldn't work well. The kids out on the nearby playground, often build several snowmen.

I did have to drive off from home right after 8AM. There was a car crash about 10 blocks down a nearby arterial — police cars closing the lane. It looked as though the driver of one car had accelerated anticipating the hill ahead and lost control, crashing head-on into a van going in the opposite direction.

Speed to fix problems — nope.

super cold means the snow is powder which doesn't work so well for building snowmen or snowforts unless you add water which is a miserable experience in the super cold winter weather, but having been up north at the university where Winter Carnival was a thing i got to see and experience a lot of this sort of thing building ice/snow sculptures...
