About Indiana weather, if you don't like it, wait a couple of hours and it'll change.
Went to a friends house last night in Mishawaka at 7:00PM, temp in the truck said 64° and it was raining. It was still spitting a little rain and 48° when I came home around 11:00PM. I get up this morning and it's 18° and the wind is blowing 20-30 mph and snowing pretty heavily.
Pretty much proves the old adage.

When I was a teen my family went to our friend's house for supper. I rode my snowsled over so that we could go riding afterwards although our parents said it was too cold. While I was in the livingroom trying to cajole our parents into letting us go, m friend and our siblings started laughing from the kitchen that it was warming up. Temps went from zero° F to above freezing and raining so fast that they watched the thermometer go up as the front moved in.

We may have passed each other. We went to Osceola last night. I installed a handrail on my sister in-law's garage steps that lead up into her kitchen for my mother in-law, and hung some vertical blinds for her as well. In return, she made us dinner.

It was 62F when we left and had stopped raining. Woke up this morning to 21F and heavy snow. -2 wind chill. 6"+ of snow. Seems to be letting off now.

It happened here in western Illinois yesterday. 60 at noon and about 10 this morning.

My little one lives in Carmel, IN, but is eyeballing moving back to Montana this September after a tornado passed behind her apartment building last fall.

I think I saw this or similar somewhere on TBN, but it seems applicable to this discussion.

That line of showers blasted through my area around 11:30 or so. Did not last long. Always makes me a bit nervous when these systems clash. Anyway, after I fed my two horses this am, I put their blankets on which is easier without gloves. Only took like ten minutes but my hands were near frozen. Can't be age, must be the blood thinner that I am on?

Yeah, that went about a mile north of my sister.

You ever wonder who "they" are?

I too got that- except snow. Now that is pneumonia weather.

We overnighted in Effingham, IL on Sunday night on our way to OK.

And also experienced that drop from 64 to 18 degrees with that 40mph blue northerner howling on Monday morning.

It was terribly sunny...and terribly cold!

Figured it was because there were only 5 trees in the flatland between Effingham and the North Pole...

Got a text from an old schoolmate that spends summers in Gustavus, AK, and winters in Phoenix, AZ. Her son lives in Gustavus, and they just got a storm that dumped 7 feet of snow on the area.
Her text to me:
Snow apocalypse in Gustavus. Been dealing with a nightmare. Roofs collapsing. Boats sinking. Totally paralyzed community. Toshua has over 7’ snow. Some of these pics are some of his commercial buildings. Grocery store and fuel barn in danger of collapse. No one can move around or walk in 5-7’ snow everywhere. Snow plows cannot handle snow higher then the equipment. Much equipment broken down. Blown tires. Nothing flying either airport can’t keep a runway open. Even Juneau International airport closed yesterday. Now raining ice! Clearing tomorrow. Everybody in total emergency mode. We are doing what we can from here. Lee ordering equipment tires etc to arrive by boat (hopefully) tomorrow.

Wow!

The county seat is 14 miles as the crow flies, 19 by road. In the summer it can be 90 degrees here and 22 minutes away it can be 60 degrees there next to Lake Superior.

Last Sunday, northern MI had snow. Today is 45 outside. Tonight is supposed to rain 1/2" with rain continuing into tomorrow. Then Friday evening temperature drops and it snows. Continues into Saturday with lake effect snow. Oh boy! Can't wait. Slip and slide anyone? Jon

 

[civilian]

We actually got an inch of rain. Now snowing. Jon

For those who do not know - Gustavus, AK is in SE Alaska. About half way between Ketchikan and Skagway. More or less.........

Fortunately - I've not had the pleasure of any time spent there........

Here - in NE WA - near Spokane - the only thing that is a constant with the weather - the winters sure are getting warmer. Less snow - more rain - more warm days.

For those who do not know - Gustavus, AK is in SE Alaska. About half way between Ketchikan and Skagway. More or less.........

And, the only way into Gustavus is by air or sea, no roads going into it. The guy in the picture owns the general store, and the barge that runs between Juneau and Gustavus.

 

[oosik]

Just a note - only Skagway and Haines are available by road. Ketchikan, Hoona ( where all the Hoona Honeys are), Juneau, Wrangle, Sitka - etc, etc...... by air or boat. These are all SE Alaska towns. Those from Anchorage north - on the main land, have road access.

Look at a map of Alaska. The roads shown are the ONLY roads.
