Looks like winter outside.” 6:24:52 PM 10/29/02 “32F in town this morning. Winterfest happens this weekend. Skiers are getting anxious.” 6:45:30 AM 10/30/02 “Hehehe, Artex, it is not unprecedented. It has occasionally happened before. But it is unusual after such an abominably hot summer.” 7:53:02 AM 10/30/02 “i got to wear my new TNF jacket today, wheeee!” 7:53:43 AM 10/30/02 8:00:35 AM 10/30/02 “yep, that's cold! :-) those are adorable little pictures of the sun and moon and everything, under the Yellowstone part!” 8:11:37 AM 10/30/02 “lows near 5? i'm definitely not ready for that! yikes! we've got windchills in the mid to upper 20's this morning in the metro Detroit area. colder than normal for this time of year.” 8:17:00 AM 10/30/02 “65 degrees yesterday. I miss Ohio winters - the snow in Tennessee is nothin but mashed potatoes.” 8:17:37 AM 10/30/02 “Laguardia Airport in NYC officially had a trace of snow. Not much, but highly unusual for this time of year. Snow/sleet expected this afternoon and tonight also. Yippee!!!!!!” 8:24:44 AM 10/30/02 “Brrrrrrrrr, Moooooo! ”8:34:15 AM 10/30/02 “Nothing quite like ice-cold milk.” 8:37:51 AM 10/30/02 “I'm all ready for it now! We had a snowstorm last week and it got nice and melted over the weekend, so we got a second chance to blow out the sprinklers and roll up the hoses. Sounds like a metaphor for something, but I'm not sure what.” 8:44:55 AM 10/30/02 “brrrrrr, eeeeeek! ”8:45:06 AM 10/30/02 MMMMM, Monkey Bars! “Oh no! Someone forgot to bring in the monkeys! Will they be frozen like that 'til spring?” 8:47:10 AM 10/30/02 “Supposed to plunge into the high 40s Saturday night. Winter is a-coming!” 8:48:50 AM 10/30/02 “"monkey bars," you're crazy!! doesn't that one in the front look SO sad??” 8:50:02 AM 10/30/02 “Yeah, his little face and ??? is all red!” 8:51:47 AM 10/30/02 “An overnight low of 24 here. Not as cold as in Montana. The temps/weather are pretty much optimal for backpacking right now. I just enjoy taking along all the fresh food, like steaks, eggs, cheese. All of nature is my refigerator!!” 9:25:13 AM 10/30/02 “In Cody it was 7 above (7 below with the wind chill) at...7:00 am. Calling for los around 5 above tonight. And...Red Lodge ski area had 19 inches as of 5:00 pm yesterday. Time to get the boards ready.” 9:25:57 AM 10/30/02 “Well, we finally got a light frost, this morning. This whole fall has been record dry. Looks like a beautiful morning at 6000' in the Whistler alpine Just a trace of snow, over the weekend.” 9:37:26 AM 10/30/02 “See Hodgeman, that's the problem with metric; ya got 19 degrees F, which doesn't sound so bad. Then you convert it to -7C, yech!” 9:40:07 AM 10/30/02 “Hey Aero - That -7 sounds just right to me...... If there was a couple feet of snow, in that picture, I'd be up there in a shot, on a beautiful morning like this!! There's about 10 different web cams up there, on Whistler and Blackcomb. Sure makes me anxious to see the snows fly. Can't wait... can't wait !!!” 9:47:36 AM 10/30/02 “Its about 50 and rainy here and in the higher elevations ('740) they're calling for more of the same. Typical weather for these parts. I let you all know when the freezing rain starts. Nothing beats a a good road glazing.” 9:48:31 AM 10/30/02 “In the 'higher' elevations? 740'? WTF?” 9:54:34 AM 10/30/02 “Waaaaaaaaaaaay colder than normal here for this time of year. Like 20 to 30 degrees below normal. YUCK! CRAP! WHO are YOU PEOPLE calling for winter???!?!? Send it away!! Bring back our daily high temps of 59!! And take away the 20s overnight!!! I can sense a WINTER FROM HELL a-coming. We've had it waaaaaaaaay too easy the past few years.” 9:55:17 AM 10/30/02 “We've got snow in western and northern Maine. In my neck of the woods the nighttime temps are in the teens and twenties and we're gettin' snow flurries Friday, wahoo!” 9:56:40 AM 10/30/02 “Hodgeman- Let us know when you go up there and wave "hi" from one of the webcams! I'm hoping Red Lodge Mtn., over here, won't be "Rock Dodge" for the first half of the season! I'm skiing on rentals until they get a base.” 10:03:59 AM 10/30/02 “Sounds like they have a pretty good base going already with the snow making AND the natural snow. That, coupled with the fact that a group of skiers called "Friends of Red Lodge" had a number of days this summer where they went and cut a bunch of small trees off the runs so they wouldn't stick up through the snow. I'm trying to talk the wife into getting the 6-pack deal (6 tickets for $180). That way she can come with me and the girls, since we already bought season passes again. Maybe I'll see you up there sometime?” 10:14:41 AM 10/30/02 “IF YOU SEE ME UP THERE, YOU WOULDN'T KNOW IT's me” 10:31:35 AM 10/30/02 “We had snow showers all day today and I heard on TV that they expect a snowy and cold winter. Who knows if that will happen, but I just put my snow tires on my van today so, let it snow.” 4:39:27 PM 10/30/02 “Wheeee! We just had great big gloppy flakes. The kids are making snowballs and asking for a fire in the fireplace. I'm trying to figure out when Snoopy comes on.” 4:46:48 PM 10/30/02 “going to roan mountain this weekend. projected temperatures according to the weather channel are 44/26 and that's just measured in the town, not the summit!” 7:52:26 PM 10/30/02 “No visible snow here this evening, but we did have freezing rain. Sweet! I'll likely see snow on the ground in the Catskills this weekend, and will definitely have some cold nighttime temps (possibly in the teens). Sweet!” 8:04:41 PM 10/30/02 “I think you will see snow in the Cats since an inch or 2 fell in the Pocono mountains. Supposed to be a cold weekend too so it will probably be in the teens up there, add some wind and it will be like winter.” 8:53:22 PM 10/30/02 “Nice!!!” 9:23:19 PM 10/30/02 “23 degrees in town and 20 where I am right now. Supposed to get down in the middle teens this weekend. Killington opened on the 25th (18-36" base) with 3 top-to-bottom runs and Okemo opens this Saturday. Can't wait....I'll be out there this weekend. Yippee! Ski season is here!” 9:31:52 PM 10/30/02 “Man, you folks who live in the cold weather areas are a hardy group. I cancelled my evening run because it was cold here with a temp of 59. I'm such a wuss!” 10:02:09 PM 10/30/02 “It's been in the mid-70s during the day and 40s at night. Freezing in the mtns. Now if we could just get some precip in N CA, snow would be falling. I'm ready to build an igloo or dig a snow cave. Just went to SLC, UT yesterday for a biz meeting and they had just gotten their first dusting on the surrounding peaks. Man, that city has some amazing scenery.” 10:12:10 PM 10/30/02 “Well pa has snow/icy this morning, I scraped a bunch off my windshield!” 2:48:32 AM 10/31/02 “Well I see now how yall are.... get me all stoked up about winter packing and then everyone claims to be on the injured reserve list leaving me the only one out there frezzin my a55 off!” 4:34:41 AM 10/31/02 “Snowy in ABQ this morning. It'll turn to rain showers as the day warms, but first snow fall in town this season. 6" in Los Alamos.” 10:50:20 AM 11/04/02 “Got down to the low 70s last night.” 10:51:55 AM 11/04/02 LOL @ Steve Hiker “HAHA it got UP to the low 60's here in north Nevada!! (Stated while looking for my long johns.)” 2:35:57 PM 11/04/02 “Supposed to be a BIIIGGG winter storm coming into to hammer the Sierra. Woo hoo. On a lethargic note, it is 4:30 and almost totally dark. Wannnnaaa. I like it when there's 13 hours of light. I think I suffer from SAD.” 6:22:21 PM 11/06/02 “Ski soooon..... Must ski..... Don't be SAD......ski......” 6:39:04 PM 11/06/02 “Tomorrow night, lows are supposed to get down to 25. Sweet!” 7:04:39 PM 11/06/02 “It's supposed to be in the 40's tonight here in north Florida. Guess I'll have to change out of these shorts and into pants.” 7:18:17 PM 11/06/02 “This weekend is supposed to get in the low 60's. It hasn't been that warm in while.” 8:50:36 PM 11/06/02 “This weekend is supposed to get in the low 60's. It hasn't been that warm in 2 weeks.” 8:50:58 PM 11/06/02 “Visible snow on Mt. Taylor near Gallup and Redondo Peak in the Jemez Mtns. Snow in the Sandias a few days ago. Come on!” 10:29:06 PM 11/06/02 Jump to Page << prev
