even in North Dakota, I can't claim the first snowfall :wink2:, but I know some of you guys are mountain dwellers (as i wish to be), and have the good
life of lapse rates.
So as the first layers plop down, throw up your first snow session date when it comes!
Anyone already lucky enough? I hear CO got sticking snow in the mountains a few days ago....Kamikuza - 25-9-2009 at 08:18 PM
... I got a layer of sweat trickling down the crack of my backside and you're talking about snow??? furbowski - 25-9-2009 at 08:34 PM
yep. 32 C and 90% humidity in HK at the moment, 8 kn winds from the NE, skunked for all my usual beachside flying spots!
snow????Jolt - 25-9-2009 at 09:55 PM
For the first time since I've learned how to drive, I am actually looking forward for snow; and with my ironic luck i wont get any till January..flyboy15 - 26-9-2009 at 07:45 AM
haha yep! our nights here are starting to hit low 40's high 30's already (F). And i know all my friend here originally from colorado were going crazy
because the first snow fell in the ski resorts of the mountains!
They might be riding as early as the end of this week.
And who know, around here, we could be the same hahaha!Jolt - 26-9-2009 at 07:47 AM
Our weather is still ranging from 50s to 70s...
I don't see snow coming here soon, but we did have one of the coldest summers I've ever seen.kiteyakker - 26-9-2009 at 05:58 PM
I'm anxious to start kiting , but not ready for winter ...yet. I've got a huge bluegrass field nearby that just needs a few inches of snow this fall
and I'll be cruisin'...and an 11M FYX that I can't wait to try out. snobdr - 26-9-2009 at 07:54 PM
I cant wait for snow, want that lake effect machine to get turning.Jolt - 28-9-2009 at 08:21 AM
yeah i want the snow to come, i want to test the outlaw thats comin in from powerzone. :Dcanuck - 5-10-2009 at 06:42 AM
I was soooo close to my 1st session yesterday. Calgary had a forecast for a dump this weekend but the ground was still too warm. When the flurries
stopped Sunday noon the wind was great but there was only 1/2 an inch of slush on the soccer fields.
Looks like someone in Idaho, Montana, or Wyoming could be ready for a session today or tomorrow.:wee:flyboy15 - 6-10-2009 at 09:03 AM
END OF THE WEEK FOR GRAND FORKS!!!! SOUTH DAKOTA ALREADY DUMPED ON!!! HERE IT COMESSSSSJolt - 6-10-2009 at 09:26 AM
I want snow ...BigMikesKites - 6-10-2009 at 08:56 PM
Heck,
I'm in Texas. Snow is only something that thinks about happening once or twice a year. And it might last 1/2 day at that! 87 degrees today.Jolt - 6-10-2009 at 09:04 PM
I could have sworn I saw snow falling today, just a flake or 2. Idk if I'm going crazy or not.kitejumper - 7-10-2009 at 01:52 AM

87?! holy crap we are at 20 overnight hahaha. Snow to arrive tonight . Dont think it will amount to much, but its still snow!macboy - 9-10-2009 at 12:41 PM
We got ours the other day - enough to tease us but not enough to play on.....although I DID see a X-country skiier that just couldn't resist the urge.
I need one more warm up before it sets in though - forgot to drain the garden hose, blew the diverter valve (froze and split the brass) and now the
tap is stuck open, plugged with ice. I guess I could just leave it and get my ice skates sharpened up for that morning I wake up and find that the ice
plug let go Houston AirHead - 9-10-2009 at 12:46 PM
yeah i live in texas as well , i got a snowboard so im thinking of makings a trip up north to lubbock possibly soon when it snows to ride some flat
landsmacboy - 9-10-2009 at 01:06 PM
heheheheh....FIFTEEN minutes after that post the ice plug let go and the skating rink started building itself
All fixed now...bring on the snow!:wee:kiteyakker - 10-10-2009 at 06:21 AM
Snowed here last night too, but yeah, just a teaser, maybe half an inch. If it's gonna be this cold, then bring on the snow. It is plenty windy
though, maybe a downwinder on a plastic sled??? :oJolt - 10-10-2009 at 08:57 AM
man, all ive got here is cold weather, wish i could have wind atleast ...canuck - 13-10-2009 at 09:04 PM
:wee: I couldn't resist it - got another inch or so today so I headed out after work. The wind died but I still got a workout with the XXXL and
snowblades on the local school field.
In typical Calgary fashion the weather is going from 19 degF today to 66 deg F by Sunday and I'll be back landboarding.macboy - 13-10-2009 at 10:55 PM
AH! Canuck wins the Alberta first rights. Good on ya!garydog - 15-10-2009 at 08:09 AM

In Phoenix AZ we are forcasting triple digits this weekend. :megan: Can you believe 100 degrees in mid October?
I thought the weatherman was on crack when I heard it.Jolt - 15-10-2009 at 09:47 AM

I remember here a couple years ago on Jan 2nd n 3rd the temps got to be in the mid 60's, i was wearing shorts in winter :/...
