If you live in the ‘Redoubt’ region you are undoubtedly aware that this weekend is supposed to be some sort of early-season snowpocalypse. Honestly, with all the hand-wringing going on you’d think we’d never seen snow before. But, I suppose the news media need something to get all worked up about.
True enough, though….it IS fall. Time to say goodby to summer and get the winter gear out. I had a pretty good experience getting the Watergun coated a few months back and I think I’m going to get that Danish winter camo pattern applied to one of my PTR’s and one of my AR’s as well. As I used to tella buddy of mine, “The revolution is not going to happen on a sunny day.”
Im kinda hoping we do get a huge amount of snow because I’ve got a couple sets of snowshoes I really haven’t had a chance to play with very much. I’d like to give them a bit of a workout.
Also, this is the time where hunting season is nigh. I find it highly doubtful I’ll have time to go this season but I like to think the possibility is there. Stranger things have happened.
In the meantime, I need to fire up he snowblower this weekend to make sure it’s ready for winter. Even a blind hog finds an acorn once in a while, so I suppose its possible the hopeless clowns at the weather bureau might have been right and we get a major dump of snow this weekend. We shall see. I’d be utterly flabbergasted if it dumped anything even close to what they are forecasting. If there’s more than an inch of snow I’ll be quite surprised.
I don’t care if it snows or not….but, I have been splitting and stacking firewood this week. Also we are waiting for that first frost so as to go out and pick elderberries.
Hilarious thing about it, here in the Deep South we’re experiencing record breaking temps (heat index close to 100 almost everyday for weeks) that is showing no signs of relenting in the foreseeable future – matter of fact – it’s going to be HOTTER next week with actual air temps in the high 90s rather than just the 95 – 96s we had this week. Talk about Bipolar WX…

S’GLOBAL WA!…….Global coo.. Ahhh, forget it.
Nothing like being caught early in the winter storm season, damn…
Sadly, today’s weathertainers are too wrong to be believed, but too right to be ignored. Good luck Commander with the weather.
In Redoubt, snowshoes work out YOU!
Snowshoes suck, but they beat postholing or skiing. Here in the Interior of Alaska, we don’t get much snow, and can often get by without.
“Meteorology is the only profession where you can be wrong half the time and still keep your job.”
Don’t forget economic forecasting.
Howzabout an update? 5 feet of snow? 4” of rain? Is Montana an ecopocalypse dead-zone from white priviledge?
