dailylurker Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Just went for a short Jebwalk. Deep cold, roaring wind gust. The gust seem to really come and go. When the hit tho.. it's no joke out there. This blows away the clipper that did. Temp down to 11. This little beast is going to out perform last year's blast imo.

Ger Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 I'm so tempted to jebwalk but I want the WC to go lower . What a night. Good snow, big wind, big cold, good model runs, and my P&C (fwiw) says I don't hit 30 until next Saturday. This is how winter should be. Eh, I could live with a few warm/DRY stretches along with a few cold/snowy. If it weren't for the wind whipped snow creating such beautiful scenery, and the prospect of still more snow in a few days, Id be angry at seeing the temperature forecast for next week.

Bob Chill Posted February 15, 2015 Author Share Posted February 15, 2015 Relatively brief walk but man it's the real deal out there. Footprints from the trip out barely visible on the way back. Got blasted a couple times and had to turn my back. Road is sheet of ice covered by squeaky dry blowing powder. Outstanding deep winter conditions.
