Show it off in snow

-7 ???

 

-10here this morning...in fact, it didn't get above zero until 10PM. A whopping 8 tomorrow but the winds will drop under 20mph.

 

--------
Here in Central Va its 635am and its 4-deg, forecasted to be in the 20s after lunch. Our electric company says that they have over 50K customers w/o power. Some neighbors repoert frozen plumbing for the 1st time EVER

 

BC has been in a deep freeze for the last week too. Here in Kelowna, our daytime highs the last 4 days have been 0F and lows -26F. Normally we see lows at this time of year around 0F. About 3 feet of snow has fallen since November, but I love the cold and winter. Have a family album full of ice fishing pictures and ice hockey on frozen lakes in central BC. Good times.

Oh, it has warmed right up today and now at 17F. A lot of cougar, bobcat and wolf tracks in our neighborhood. We live on the edge of wilderness. Kelowna is only 7 miles from where we live, but east of our home is a few hundred miles of mountain wilderness. I love it, it sure beats living right inside the city.

When we go walking on the edge of the forest here, around 4pm every day we watch many deer head down to our homes looking for shrubs and plants to eat. Deer in our yard every day in winter. The cougars follow them down from the mountain.

A neat video a guy filmed of 2 cougars in his back yard nearby yesterday.

Hood deep the other night, ran 0-1psi for most of it.

 

Now that’s some snow! Great pics.

 

Mixed it up and took wifes 4runner on our Utah IKON trip. I forgot how much love I've put into her truck. For not being a taco, this thing I'd sweet. I like the seats better, the transmission with its 5 gears seams to be smoother, less shifting. Anyway, it's a monster in the wind. It was like 70 mph today across wyoming on I80. The taco wins in heavy wind. The 4runner is more comfortable, but less stable at that wind speed.
