winter

Camping season may have to wait a little longer in this area.

While most are happy that spring is here, some negatives come with it and maybe we shouldn't be as happy as we are.

Here are some of the side effects that may be from the long winter as well as how to adjust to being back around people.

The only place you can find any fluffy snow is if you head to the ski resorts, otherwise, that blanket of snow covering your yard is more likely a sheet of ice.

When it was cold, you slept with the dog.

I’d wear them everywhere and also to work if I could.

Make sure to take your time each morning to scrape your windshield before getting behind the wheel.

The ice and slush and driving on the melting snow can pile up and back up in there and cause problems for your tires, car, and lead to other problems down the line.

Staying home from work is fun, but being snowed-in for too long can take its toll and be bad for you.

For people new to the area that may not have experienced an Idaho winter yet, some adjustments and culture shocks are guaranteed to happen.

There will be a Winter Party at the Twin Falls Public Library on Thursday, December 23 from 4 PM to 6 PM. The event is free and will also be a lights tour.

A fellow told me this week that some of our highest peaks are bare.

In Twin Falls, planners should be busy preparing to open the downtown rink in just a couple of weeks. Last year, Magic Valley residents were able to enjoy the city's rink near the splash pad, in Downtown Commons, the second week of December.

If the weather wasn't enough of an indication that summer is officially over and winter is knocking on the door, the announcement of summer fun closures and changes to the Twin Falls City Pool just sealed the deal. Winter is coming.

Pressurized irrigation is seasonal and the City of Twin Falls made the announcement that pressurized irrigation will be shut off October 15th. Homeowners who are attached to pressurized irrigation should get ready to winterize their systems.

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.

Know where you’re going and know the conditions.

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.

So, in case you missed it over the weekend we finally got a real snowstorm. I was excited because I like the snow. I understand if you weren't excited.

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