high winds ... aka Saskatchewan screamer strikes again
Oh Joy ... winter is back ... unable to find the proper words to describe how I feel. :sad-teareye:

Blowing Snow Warning
A strong Arctic cold front has pushed across Southern Saskatchewan this morning. This front is ushering in strong northerly winds gusting to 70 or 80 km/h producing extensive poor visibilities in blowing snow today over open areas. Visibilities less than 500 metres will be widespread this morning with occasional zero or near zero visibility especially towards the international border. Highway travel is difficult this morning due to blowing and drifting snow across the warning area. Travellers should be prepared for poor driving conditions and possible road closures. Saskatchewan Highways is not recommending travel across several regions this morning due to poor visibility. Conditions will start to improve this afternoon into this evening as the winds gradually decrease. However much colder air will be flooding in with temperatures in the minus twenties this afternoon and wind chill values approaching minus 40.

Stay warm and stay safe, PH and Howler. We're only supposed to be cold this week...teens during the day...single digits at night. No snow after tomorrow. Have a feeling this may be the calm before the next storm. Oh well. It's still winter...still Maine.

Thanks Moo.
It's kind of strange actually. A nice bright sunny day. And not all that cold (about 0F(-18C)).
The thing is, if one wants to leave town.
Almost all roads are blown shut by snow drifts. The plows can't seem to keep ahead of it.

oh figgy ... please remember the spell!!!
the winds were so strong during the wee hours Sunday am, I thought I felt the house move. if I had a dog, I think his/her name would be Toto. the winds have been crazy this month - every week we've had one or two days of up to 90km winds. ugh!

at this rate, Saskatchewan just may blow into Montana ... then straight through to Colorado. :handgestures-thumbupright:

:dance: Great! :happy-bouncygreen: We can get a bunch of us together and have a party! I have a spare room. I bet Paint can drive over. Loony's just down the road a piece. Maybe Sixxy will go ahead and try on this Continent. We should talk Tonks into trying it on, too. And its too dry where Tracy is, she should come this way. Who else can we get to be here?

Or ~ if the wind ends up changing direction, we can all meet at Moo's!

This could be fun!!!

(Well, except for the cold-and-snow-bah-humbug...)

If you've never been on an Indian reservation before, by all means...come on over! Just remember where I live is called Indian Island for a reason (being in the middle of the Penobscot River). The more, the merrier! I'll provide the chocolate, pumpkin juice and munchies! Lots of wind, tho, during the day...wind chills suck so bundle up...but no blowing snow at the moment.

It got up to about 20F(-7C) and sunny today.
Didn't really even need a jacket.
More snow on the way tomorrow.

It was sunny and beautiful here today. I think Denver had 53 F- 11+C today.

However, we have just started to get gale-force winds and it is predicted to start snowing tonight and not stop until the wee hours of Saturday... min of 8", a bit west of here could get 3 feet....

Seriously - what IS that Spell????
