db1486 Posted October 30 Posted October 30 I had meant to post yesterday but didn't have time to, but winter found us here in this part of MB. It's pretty much all gone today now but definitely the time of year that it can come any day and be here till spring. Was actually kind of nice to see, although I'd be ok with no more for a few weeks lol 7 Quote
acem Posted October 30 Posted October 30 We sometimes don't get that much snow all year! But it's usually gone the next day. 1 Quote
db1486 Posted October 30 Author Posted October 30 The ground has been freezing at nights so it sticks around a bit but usually it melts this time of year yet. Typically if we get snow on or after Halloween it's here to stay. We're still doing fieldwork. Grounds not freezing enough to stop that yet 1 Quote
poor farmer/logger Posted October 30 Posted October 30 I’m disappointed there’s no sled pics😂 lol. We had about an inch here and it melted fairly quickly. Melfort had a little bit more. Got my sidewinder up on the hoist going over it now as my warranty runs out the beginning of Dec. just want to catch any little stuff I can. I could do with a few more weeks without snow though too. Still cutting firewood yet. Only have two loads home so far. 4 Quote

There’s probably around 3,000-3,500 lbs in the truck. Roughly 1.25 cords of jack pine. Some of it is very dry while some of it is still a little bit wet. Back two rows were ready to burn. Front should really dry for another year. Still need another 7-8 loads like this. Only have 2 home so far. Quote

There is alot of beautiful country around here in fall, from when the leaves are turning to when we get snow or the hoar frosts. Sure makes some very nice views. That sounds warm there. We went from t-shirt weather to winter jacket in less than a day. Had the AC cranked in the combine one day and had the heat cranked the next day baling straw. Been bouncing above and below freezing for over a week now. That said the cows are still grazing on the fields yet, still some green to pick yet Quote
sandhiller Posted October 31 Posted October 31 Unseasonably warm fall here but last Monday a little reminder that winter is coming with this dusting of snow 1 Quote

poor farmer/logger Posted October 31 Posted October 31 Every time I see someone talking about hoar frost or a picture I can’t help but think about a drilling crew that was here working for Kewit. We’d gone over to help load the drill rig,sea can and some other stuff that they were shipping back to Quebec. None of them could speak English but one young guy was trying. One of the other crews was explaining to him about hoar frost. He wanted to know how to pronounce it and spell it so he didn’t get it mixed up with a very different kind of whore 😂😂 2 Quote
New Englander Posted October 31 Posted October 31 I know what it is but had no idea where the term came from. Google to the rescue: Etymology: The word "hoar" comes from Old English (hār), meaning "gray" or "old," because the dense, white crystals resemble an elderly person's white hair or beard 1 1 Quote

I was in a JFK terminal one night commuting to somewhere when a very drunken Scotsman accosted me looking for a phone box. Well, I had little chance of understanding him and he kept yelling it louder finally saying "a phone box! you daft 'ucker!! I started laughing when the light dawned on me and pointed to the wall of them sans "box" behind him. 😄 1 Quote
