What is winter like in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho?

[@joedeats]

Best town to live in....anywhere! I love this place, its like someone cut a slice of the 80's off and hid it up here in the woods. Great people, great weather and a pace that lets you breath.

@@JJacks920 They might be saying that to deter people from going to CDA. I'm applying to a job there and have been looking at different videos about the area. Under most videos I've watched about this city people leave comments saying they don't want people to move there...especially that they don't want liberals there.

You are right that it's really not that much snow here. I grew up in Buffalo. I lived in New York Shitty for the last 18 years. I moved here last August. I don't think people believed me in August and September that I would still walk and ride my bike around in the winter. Lo and behold, I have. I grew up in Buffalo. This winter has been nothing to me. Even New York City got blizzards worse than this winter, too.

Lived there for 18 years. Then came the 2008 crash and lost our house and moved away....What I remember like anywhere else..good winters bad winters...but in general the climate is a bit warmer than say the other side of the divide into Montana...Or Stanley Idaho. Theres a bit of a Pacific Coast effect and keeps Coeur d'Alene a bit milder temperature in winter. Not the 20 belows of Montana. Less winter sun however and being milder can get heavy snows...But I remember tilling a garden in late February one year.

[@donnaw4910]

What a beautiful video. Thank you. Reminds me of our mountains here in CO. Although we get much more sunlight in winter here than CDA. We're thinking about retiring there but the 5 months of winter gray has us a little hesitant. Do you get any sunny days in the winter?

[@LiveBetterinNorthIdaho]

Our winters see about one third of our days as sun. Pretty gloomy for three months, but it does keep our temps from getting severely cold.

Studded snow tires for the winter. And 2 sets of chains. During the winter always keep lots of extra clothes and sleeping bags in your vehicles, along with a good shovel and about 5 to 6 bags of road sand and road flares kept in the trunk. Have fun.

N Idaho can be pretty grey and dreary. The weather is 10 degrees colder in the winter and 10 degrees hotter in the summer than Seattle. We have similar numbers of cloudy/sunny days. If you grew up in it (as I did), you are used to it. But if you grew up in S Idaho or anywhere sunny, it might seem really grey.

6.15.010: DOMESTIC LIVESTOCK AND FOWL PROHIBITED: A. It shall be unlawful for any person to own, keep, or maintain any domestic livestock or fowl within the limits of Coeur d'Alene, except: 1. Any person may possess chickens, excluding roosters, if the chickens are kept in a secure yard, building or other enclosure at all times; 2.

[@J5lover1]

This may sound silly, but I’m going to ask anyway. Where I live, we do not have weather conditions like this. If I were to move here, would I need to purchase a truck in order to navigate the roads during winter time? Also, do all the cars wear chains during storms like this?

[@fastdude2002]

Aubrei if you drive out of the incorporated areas on rural roads you would need 4wd or chains 2-3 months out of the year but if you live in town the streets are kept plowed as are many of the near by roads. Front wheel drive vehicle do well in snow due to engine weight over the front drive wheels helping with traction. A sport utility vehicle with 4wd like a Toyota 4Runner for example makes a great vehicle for this area.

[@tomsettles6873]

CDA does get a massive amount of snow, and contrary to what this realtor says, this area does get plenty of 12 - 24" dumpings of snow in a one or two day period. I was there in late January two years ago and they got 14" of snow overnight. I was stuck there and missed my flight from Spokane. Bend OR gets a lot of snow, and they average less than half of what CDA gets! This is not an area for retirees unless you can fly to Hawaii or Arizona for 3 months every year.
