snow

This week marks the first time in several months that the Magic Valley will see evening temperatures dropping below 40-degrees. Frozen windshields, slick roads, and logs on the fire will all be routine additions to life for the next six months or so.

If you like to ski or snowboard this has to be the biggest teaser ever. I am hoping this is indicative of a great ski and snowboarding season ahead of us.

We need snow this winter. We need a lot of snow this winter.

This little pile was sitting in the shade most of the day but when I got there the sun was in full power and the final memory of winter was melting away.

I was today years old when I learned something confusing about our weather forecasts.

I do think there are some money-making possibilities in the Magic Valley for a kid who isn't afraid of making work fun.

The snow from the last storm has frozen over providing a slick sledding surface, and the addition overnight Thursday should compliment area hills very nicely.

Current weather forecasts for the Magic Valley are predicting what could end up to be the most substantial cold front to sweep through the region so far this winter.

The Twin Falls Sheriff's Office shared on their Facebook page some of the non-scrapers they caught this week.

Heavy winds and an increasing chance for snowfall for the next 24 hours are forecasted for certain areas of southern Idaho. Another weather system is due to sweep through the southern portion of the Gem State early next week as well.

It could be worse.

I have been here in Twin Falls almost 5 years and my first full winter in Twin Falls was Snowmagedon. 4 years ago we were in the midst of the snowpocalypse, the worst snow storm the area had seen in about 30 years according to people in the area.
