Beautiful!
(especially because of the lack of people).
Appears CAF … way too cold for this southern lad. I’d freeze my kachungas off in no time …
I couldn’t survive there in my present (health) state.
Oof. South Dakota is beautiful in the spring and summer, but not sure I could withstand the winters there. Winters here in the central Midwest are already pretty nasty (even if relatively short) and with each passing year I find them harder to tolerate.
I lived there, what a wimpy photo, you can still see the top of the fence posts. It gets way way worse. Favorite memory at the time, when my dad was driving us somewhere, we kept hearing a thump thump thump, thinking it was a bad tire we pulled over. Found it was us driving on top of the fenceposts through the snow layer.
Wimpy photo is right.
But what do you expect from Kevin?
I mean he was probably the kid that put his tongue on frozen metal.
Fuck you from the frozen pole, both of youses! I too lived there, it was from early in the snow season I admit(I stole the pic) but it describes the mood in the winter, I guess both of you have no soul or an appreciation of raw beauty. That cloud bank in front could open up in a raging blizzard. I am moving back there too! Fuck Oregon!
Oregon used to be a grand place. I lived there in the early 60s and my father looked at getting out of USAF there. The SoCal diaspora ruined it.
I grew up in Canby, a small farming community 30 miles South of Portland, but it is anything but that today, a bedroom community of Portland.
It’s a damned shame what happened to Portland. Used to be a really cool place back in the 80’s and prior. Not sure exactly when it went off the rails, but I can’t see visiting there now, and certainly couldn’t live there in it’s current state.
Here we go again. Every winter by the middle of January first part of February I swear to myself I’m getting out of the frozen tundra that I was born in. Then it starts warming up a little teaser at a time and before you know it’s getting green.
Reminds me of the last line in “Fargo”: “And it’s such a lovely day.”
Great Movie, especially if you’ve been drinkin
That could be just about anywhere on the High Plains in Winter…..
I dread the return of this weather but it’s only a few weeks away. I live in Iowa. Like South Dakota only with more Amish…
Ugh, First snow of the season for us is predicted Sunday, moved the small and large snowblowers to the garage this morning. Ugh daily fpr the next 5 months at least..
Lake-effect snow is a bitch I know, originally from Grand Rapids, Michigan.
Looks like Nebraska also. I’ve seen the snow sifting across the roads and I’ve seen the snow so deep you can’t tell the road from the ditches and blowing so hard that it’s like being in a deep fog and you just hope you’re not going somewhere through a field and missing the road entirely.
Kansas has moments like that picture too. Do not miss it at all.
Come on, don’t you have a secret yearning to go back to a simpler, peaceful time in your life even if it was only to click your ruby slippers one more time?
My life in Kansas wasn’t peaceful. On more occasions than I care to admit I was one meal from hungry and sleeping in my vehicle to avoid an abusive spouse.
Arizona has been a lot kinder to me, but I’m also a lot older and a touch smarter.

That’s gravy, no snow or ice on the road.
