Whats the weather like up there today? I am coming thru on Saturday evening from the TX panhandle to Bismarck ND and was curious if I need the chains ????
Thanks in advance.
 
it is really nice here today. about 35 and sunny. the weekend weather looks pretty good. slight chances of snow sunday and monday for Rapid City & Bismarck, but i think you'll have smooth sailin'. with that said, i doubt you will need any chains, but it would hurt to have them along. :wink:

Heck, if I was worried about the weather through that country, I'd be hoping for an invite to a steak dinner, not a weather report. :lol: :lol:
 
When the "Hostile Native" is mad at me I usually just grab my bedroll and sleep in the tackroom. You must have put your woman on a "BIG MAD" if you're getting sent to Bismark, N.D. This time of year.
 
i'd get headed south. the "experts" now have us in a weather advisory from 8pm tonight thru 5pm Monday. 3-5 inches of snow with gusty winds. like i once heard, if you don't like the weather around here.....just wait 5 minutes. :wink:
 
I just heard we've got a 30% of snow until dark. After dark the temps will drop to a low of 12 degrees, winds will be strong and 70% chance of snow. Hated to hear that. We've been having nice warm chinooks blow through and the snow was melting quick. If you're gonna head south anytime soon, I agree with Justin, ya best get started.
 
thanks guys, Im all loaded and fueled, so I will be headed back south first thing in the morning. I hope I can beat some of it. Its been pretty gloomy all day and sure feels like one coming. My "hostile native" (thats a funny term that I wont use out loud) LOL, is in AZ with kids for the holidays.

What's that old saying about "Discretion is the better part of Valor" :D :D
 
I'll take ND 6 down to SD 63, 73 end up in Martin SD, then in Nebraska take 61 from Merriman all the way south to Goodland KS, then 27 on south to Elkhart, then 56 to Boise City then to Clayton NM, then from there I'll hit a billy goat trail to home.
 
just curious is all. I'm a little south and west of you, but with the expected weather coming I'd sure try to stay on the interstates as much as possible. I went right thru your neck of the woods awhile back. Took i-25 down to Raton and due to a wreck they had the hwy closed so I had to go south to the next exit that took me through Clayton. I was on my way over to NE Tx to see my mother. Man that was one long trip.
 
I just let the dogs out and the snow has started with a stout wind and the temp has dropped about 10 degrees in the last 20 minutes.

I just looked at a weather map, it looks like you'll be running through the leading edge of this snow until you get part way across Nebraska.

It's snowing and drifting here.

Yeah same here... Started about 2PM...My wife went to Billings this morning by way of the Flowing Wells road and Jordan and said the road was bare and dry-- but this evening the daughter came back that way from Big Timber- and said the road was kind of a witch-- especially after dark with the drifting snow and finger drifts across the road....

Temp is still 26.
