Our Christmas Blizzard... It's Still Here!

That Blizzard they predicted... they postponed it a couple of times...

It's Here!

It didn't arrive until yesterday (Christmas) afternoon but it's here now and it's not leaving as fast as they predicted either. Here are a few shots of my son Timmothy as we and I went out to "explore" the situation.

Timmothy is standing next to and behind a drift that formed around the cars in out driveway.

I keep our snow throwers under our car port in the area usually unaffected by the weather.

That looks like some serious snow, but I see two snow blowers so I reckon you are used to snow and may not be as impressed as this East coaster.

Actually I am impressed as it just didn't seem like we were getting hammered until I went out there and looked Nick & Trudy Vandekar . I guess I will enjoy a little extended Christmas vacation. Hope you had a GREAT Christmas!

Looks like Timmothy is dressed to help so better put him to work.

Make yourself an astonishing day.

There is NOTHING like a good snowmobile suit Raymond E. Camp . You can go out there with nothing but your underwear on underneath a good snowmobile suit and it's as comfortable as can be even in sub zero weather.

Hello Bob "RealMan" Timm where do you keep the snowmobilies?  I would think you would have them with the 2 snow blowers.  Stay  Warm!!

Bob "RealMan" Timm

If I could find an old one like I used to ride 45 years ago I'd own one Will Hamm but with them now costing as much as a new car I say the heck with that!

I am staying warm and staying "put" Maria Sapio . Thus far it's been a very enjoyable day... indoors.

Good Morning Bob -  I hope you were dreaming of a white Christmas because you certainly got one.  Very mild here.

Even prior to this snow we had a lot on the ground Grant Schneider so now the concern is "how much more will we get" and will it lead to spring flooding?

Those are some big snow drifts Bob "RealMan" Timm. The storm is hitting us tonight but staying west which puts us o the warm site, some freezing rain to rain,

My son and I just came in from "Round 2" with this storm. It's quit snowing but still plenty of blowing. I'm glade school is out so I have some help dealing with it Scott Godzyk

Bob "RealMan" Timm Timothy looks just like a chip off the old block. That weather sure looks alot like great cross country skiing weather.

Thanks Sandy Padula and Norm Padula, JD, GRI NMLS#1483386 , but he's a lot better looking than the old block. This snow is a blessing to many winter sports but it's going to be a very bad winter for lakes. A heavy snow like this (now our 3rd) blocks the light and the fish end up suffocating, it's called "winter kill".

Brrr, brrr, brrr!  Those scenes look chilly, Bob!  And, Timmothy has grown substantially since I remember seeing pictures of him last!

Dec 26, 2016 04:05 PM
Bob "RealMan" Timm

Timmothy and I were just doing sit-ups and I kept thinking the same thing Myrl Jeffcoat . BTW I can still match him one for one for sit-ups.

RealMan ... you definitely had a white Christmas.  I cannot imagine needing to get bundled up like that just to go outside 

Even in the cold and rain here I can still wear flip flops.

Dec 26, 2016 04:19 PM
Bob "RealMan" Timm

Funny you should mention that Kathleen Daniels I was just watching a Charlie Brown special and Peppermint Patty was wearing flip flops in the snow and it caught my attention.

We have gotten almost more rain than snow.

Be careful in removing it Bob

I hope the power stays on for you William Feela I know they are having trouble in SE ND because the ice on the power lines brought so many down.

I was talking to my dad out in Rapid City last night, he said they were having quite a storm too.

Merry Christmas Bob!
Wishing you all the best now and through the new year.

Thanks Bob Crane , hopefully we can get together in 2017. There is a pretty good chance we will head your way to see my Brides sister this year.

Good morning Bob.   A little early morning rain, temps are in the mid 50's all week.  The snow usually its in January for us.  

Dec 27, 2016 02:51 AM
Bob "RealMan" Timm

This weather has been very unusual for us James Dray , way more snow than normal. The storm has passed but I can't get out of the driveway yet and it may be later in the day even though we live in the heart of town.

Good morning, Bob... I heard the news reports on your blizzard and was thinking of you all day yesterday. Trust you are warm and safe. All I can say is wow--does this even give the concept of White Christmas a new meaning!

Dec 27, 2016 04:37 AM
Bob "RealMan" Timm

Nina Hollander I was surprised that I saw Minot ND on every National news piece yesterday (TV and Radio). We really did get dumped on. I may be working from home again today because even though we live in the heart of town on a fairly important street they have not even touched it yet with snow removal equipment.

Looks like you'll need another day off to stay home and shovel yourself out.
