The Weather Report

[sodaklostsoul]

The sun is deceiving today. It looked so nice I did'nt take a jacket with me. It's 37 and a bit of a chill in the air.

[IAKaraokeGirl]

Too freaking warm for a white Christmas. As maddy stated in one of her other posts, we haven't seen snow here since last winter. It's rainy and in the low 50s today.

[Pita]

It's in the high 60's, sunny and gorgeous. I love it!!

[IowaMan]

Doesn't look like it's going to be white around here either. Cloudy and mid-40's today but at least it's not rainy or foggy like the last few days. Supposedly there's a chance for snow on Monday but they're forecasting 35 degrees.

[Fangtasia]

Sposed to get to 30C today....38 tomorrow...gonna be a hot Xmas!

[maddy]

I've got my heat off and doors open ... it's a balmy 62 in southern New England this morning. Going for near 70 as a high today. I think someone forgot to inform the weather people that it's supposed to be winter in New England.

[jseal]

68ºF, with scattered clouds and a light wind in Baltimore.

[dicksbro]

30F right now under dark skies. Of course it's only 4:50AM and the sun hasn't come up yet. :rolleyes2

[IAKaraokeGirl]

It was 75 degrees here yesterday. It's the first time I can remember that kind of temperature on my birthday--much less the fact it wasn't snowing. Today is bright and sunny but about 20 degrees cooler. Of course, who's going to complain about mid-50s in January in New Hampshire?

[Coaster]

It's been warm and beautiful here too.... 70 yesterday.... 50 today and no ice chunks floating up & down the river!!!

[1nutworld]

35 degrees F here, with rain showers (that might turn to snow) expected. It won't stick if it does snow, it's been far too warm.

I find it amazing that we got more snow in October than we've had in November, December and now the first week of January.

[1nutworld]

32 degrees now, and we actually have some funny looking white stuff all over the yards, and mailboxes. Can someone refresh my memory as to what it is?

[Coaster]

45-50 and rain

[dicksbro]

35F under cloudy skies with wind gusts of just over 20MPH. This is about as warm as it's going to get today although we'll get partial cleariing. I'm ready for spring. :)

[jay-t]

54 now with a 20mph wind

[dicksbro]

37F right now but windy ... gusts between 20 and 30 mph. Expected to reach the upper 40's today but with rain showers possible. The sun will be out, but above the clouds. :(



That reminds me, did anyone else see yesterday on the science channel that over the last 100 years or so, the magnetic fields protecting earth from solar radiation have diminished by about 10%? :yikes: Hopefully that doesn't continue! The ol' world could be in a heap of hurt. :(

[1nutworld]

32 right now, and a dusting of snow still covers the ground.

Supposed to be 42 and sunny today so maybe the snow will melt. We shall see

[dm383]

6 degrees here (Centigrade!!) but winds gusting up to 50mph, likely to increase to 70mph+ later.

Ouch!

DM

[campingboy]

The temperatures stated are in Centigrade!

Wind chill warning in effect.
Tonight..A few clouds. Wind north 30 km/h becoming light overnight. Low minus 30. Extreme wind chill minus 40.
Friday..Sunny. Wind up to 15 km/h. High minus 24. Extreme wind chill minus 41 in the morning.
Friday night..Clear. Wind becoming south 30 km/h overnight. Low minus 26. Wind chill minus 39.

I guess I will be staying in tonight.

[dicksbro]

48F under cloudy skies ... but by this afternoon, they're predicting a wintry mix including falling temperatures and freezing rain. :(

[1nutworld]

42 this morning, with rain showers expected all day

[IowaMan]

Upper 20's for temps right now with pretty gusty winds and sleet falling from the sky. Sort of stings when it gets you in the eye.

[Scarecrow]

High today was in the mid 50's, now we are under an Ice Storm Warning until Monday morning. http://www.freewebby.com/action-smilies/woohoo.gif

[jseal]

From Georgetown, Delaware - 63° F, Clear & a light breeze. :)

[IowaMan]

23 degrees F with a snow and ice mix. Roads here in town are snow covered but the ground isn't yet. Probabably will be in another hour or so. I just got home from the town about 20 miles west of here and it was already pretty white over there.

Looks like maybe it didn't decide to pass me and head straight towards Dicksbro this time around. Oh well, winter in Iowa. This is nothing yet.

[1nutworld]

27 degrees with snow falling, and a winter storm watch in effect for the day.

[sodaklostsoul]

We got 30 with a light dusting over night.....have a winter watch until tomarrow.

[jay-t]

25 deg. with sleet,freezing rain and now thunder! Oh yea!!

[Scarecrow]

We got lucky with the midwest Ice Storm, it ended about 30 miles west of us. Temps are hanging in the mid 30's last two days.

[Pita]

64°F
Overcast
Wind: S at 5 mph
Humidity: 73%

[1nutworld]

all that crap, that has been hitting everyone in states west of here, is coming tonight. It's 30 degrees now with the precipitation starting.

4-6 inches of snow expected, along with 1/4 inch of ice, and sleet exceeding 1/2 in exptected from Midnight tonight thru Noon Monday.

YIPPEE!

[sodaklostsoul]

Um, ya...what Nut said^^^^^.

Just looked at the radar........icky!!!!

There better be school tomarrow........it did this the last time I had the day off with Booger.

[Cheyanne]

4-7 inches of snow overnight.... winds 25-35 mph tomorrow...

Our school has already been called of Soda... which is ok - that means I don't have to work either! :D

[Neige]

Snow all day tomorrow!!!!!!! Yippeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sodaklostsoul]

That's fine for you Chey..........But I wanna be alone with Boog!!!!!!

[Cheyanne]

That's fine for you Chey..........But I wanna be alone with Boog!!!!!!


I believe you there....


<on knees praying that kiddo's school doesn't get called off>

[sodaklostsoul]

Thanks!!!!!! :D

[IowaMan]

Schools were already reporting that they would be running 2 hrs late in this part of the state on the 10pm news. Looks like there's a little over an inch of the white stuff on the ground here right now.

[dicksbro]

33F under cloudy skies right now. There is a winter weather advisory until noon although it looks like the freezing rain is now 30-60 miles east of us. Whew!!

Expect the temperatures to remain fairly steady through the day with some flurries or light snow showers possible. Maybe, though, we dodged the icy bullet they'd predicted. :wish:

[IowaMan]

22F here right now. Looks like we got just barely over 2 inches of snow on the ground here and supposedly another inch at most is all we're to get. Not too bad for our first real snowfall of the season.

[sodaklostsoul]

Woot........school is NOT closed!!!!!!!!!

The really bad stuff missed us. We had some sleet before it snowed a bit.

[1nutworld]

missed us here too.

Looks like we got 1" of snow, and no ice that I can tell. I heard some sleet hitting my window overnight, but other than that we came thru ok.

There was an ice warning for today but it has been cancelled. 30 degrees now and cloudy, but nothing coming down from the skies

[jay-t]

17degs. clear wind chills -1,got 1 1/2 inches of sleet most of the freezing rain was about 30 miles east of here . low tonite 8 degs.

[sodaklostsoul]

We gots 28 and it's snowing a bit.

Bundle up jay-t.

[dicksbro]

28F with some light snow flurries just a few minutes ago.

[osuche]

Getting up to 54F and sunny....low last night was 30, though

:shivering smilie:

[IowaMan]

According to the morning news it is now -5F with a wind chill of -16F. It's going to be sunny and 18F for a high here today. No new snow or ice though.

[1nutworld]

its currently a balmy 13 degrees with mostly overcast skies. The forecast for the day is some snow showers and a high of 22.

[Salacious]

Clear and cold; rather nipply.

[IowaMan]

-8F and clear here right now. :yikes:

It's supposed to get to around 25F today with clear skies. Petty sad when that sounds like it would be warm.

And no, that wasn't a typo before........... -8F and a wind chill of -24F.

[Oldfart]

32C and scattered showers.

[IowaMan]

It's a balmy 23F right now. Supposed to reach about 31F with a few scattered snow showers.

[dicksbro]

29F under cloudy skies. Chance of flurries a little later with a high near 32F.

[maddy]

It's SNOWING ... actually SNOWING... not just a flake or two falling randomly, but the ground is even covered in white. Yes, 1/18 is the first traceable snow for the season here. Alas, it's only supposed to accumulate to about an inch.

[sodaklostsoul]

Yup, snowing here too off and on..................Abner enjoys watching it and licking it off the floor.

[sodaklostsoul]

We gots big fluffy flakes this AM. and 23.

[IowaMan]

Pretty cold here this morning, -2F right now. Supposed to be sunny and get to about 25F later on today with snow overnight. They are calling for 2" - 5" by the time it stops sometime tomorrow.

[IowaMan]

24F here right now with very light snow. We had about two inches overnight and they are forecasting another 3" or 4" before it's all said and done. Pretty light and fluffy so it wasn't too hard to shovel. :)

[Oldfart]

Sounds like the mud and leaves here LOL.

[1nutworld]

21 degrees out, wind chilll of 11. Supposed to get 1-2 inches of snow later this afternoon/evening/night. Very cloudy, after yesterdays sunshine.

[sodaklostsoul]

We got 24, cloudy, not snowing yet but according to the forecast 1-2 inches and when it does start to snow very poor visibility.

[sodaklostsoul]

Well it's started.....a fine wet snow. :(

I like the fluffy snow better.

[Scarecrow]

Three inches of the white stuff. It started around 2:30am. Tem is around 31f.

[cavegirl]

We've got hail, rain, sleet and snow alternately here at the moment...

*shudders with the cold*

[gekkogecko]

Current temp 27F/-3C. Still no sign of the 2-5cm of snow predicted for this area.

[IowaMan]

Just got done with my shoveling, looks like I've got just under six inches here. Of snow you pervs! :D

28F and a bit overcast. Time to settle down with a mug of hot chocolate or tea and an ice bag for my knee.

[jseal]

Our first snowfall this winter just started.

[dicksbro]

24F under cloudy skies. High expected to reach 34F with some snow flurries or snow showers later today.

[sodaklostsoul]

It said high of 28, we got 31 right now but with wind chill feels like 17. Brrrr. Chance of flurries all day.

[IowaMan]

Well, according to one of the stations in Cedar Rapids the skies cleared overnight over some parts of eastern Iowa and it is a bit colder there than in other places. *IowaMan raises his hand and says "Yep, that's us!"*

Right now the thermometer outide my kitchen window reads -1F. I guess it's supposed to get into the mid-teens later on though.

[1nutworld]

the "ole' thermometer says it's 13 degrees right now, but it feels like 0. Damn wind-chill. Cloudy skies, and light flurries, are on call for today.

[IowaMan]

16F here right now. Supposed to reach 30F later on today but no snow or anything. Should be a rather pleasant day. :wish:

[sodaklostsoul]

We got 29 but they said freezing rain until 6pm. Yucky!!!!!!

[IowaMan]

They were really off with their forecast this morning. It is an absolutely gorgeous day here today. It's about 46F right now and sunny. The air is crisp and clean, it's just absolutely one of the nicest days I can recall us having in January.

Of course, they're saying it's not going to last very long. :(

[sodaklostsoul]

It's 40 and we never got the freezing rain!! WootWoot

[dicksbro]

It's dark out.

Oh yeah, it's 2:30 in the morning ... that's why. :shrug:

Check back later.

[IowaMan]

A bit on the chilly side here this morning. It's 18F but pretty windy (wind chill of 3F). Supposed to reach about 25F with flurries and winds around 25mph.

[IowaMan]

It's absolutely brutally cold outside here right now. My thermometer reads at -2F and it's windy as hell. The local news says there's a wind chill factor of -28F and it feels like it. I just went out to warm the car up and DAMN!!!

[osuche]

58F and sunny is the high today...a bit colder than a couple of days ago but it's still lovely


(please don't stone me)

[IowaMan]

58F and sunny is the high today...a bit colder than a couple of days ago but it's still lovely


(please don't stone me)
Okay, I won't stone you.

:spank:

Won't be able to do this for long though as my paddle is so damn cold it's liable to break. :(

[dicksbro]

15F under clear skies. Low tonight is only expected to drop to 12F rising to 31F tomorrow with a chance of snow showers.

[sodaklostsoul]

About the same as DB's.

[dicksbro]

Well, it's 12F under mostly cloudy skies. It'll probably drop another few degrees before daybreak, then rise to about 31F with snow flurries or snow showers this afternoon.

[IowaMan]

19F here right now with big fluffy snowflakes coming down at a pretty good clip.

I wanna be someplace else. :(

[grl2naughty]

It is too damn COLD!!!

[sodaklostsoul]

Who turned on the snow machine!?!?!?!?!?

[maddy]

No snow machine here, just cold.

[IowaMan]

It's supposed to get into the mid-teens (F) here today and be partly cloudy (as opposed to partly sunny I guess). Right now it's 2F and VERY windy. :(

[IowaMan]

They just told me on the morning news that it's apparently -23F with the wind chill. :(

[1nutworld]

Cloudy and 17 degrees with no wind. (sorry IowaMan)

[wyndhy]

it's fekkin cold

[Booger]

snow, snow and more snow

but the nice thing is it is completely still out there not even a breez

[dicksbro]

Bitterly cold with temperatures already down to 11F and winds blowing making it feel even lower. :(

[Scarecrow]

Hey DB if you come south a little its is warmer, 12f :roflmao:



I saw on the news that Monday morning low is going to be around -4f. :(

[sodaklostsoul]

Who broke off the knob on the snow machine!!!

[dicksbro]

3F under cloudy skies. Expecting it to get to 21F today with snow flurries.

[IowaMan]

Well, at least it's not windy right now. The temp is -4F and they say the skies are clear. I'll take their word for it, I'm not going to go outside to check it out. Supposed to get up to 22F later on today.

I'm with DB, I want spring to get here ASAP! :wish:

[lizzardbits]

weather like that ^^ and i STILL miss Iowa :yikes: :sad:

[IowaMan]

weather like that ^^ and i STILL miss Iowa :yikes: :sad:
Nothing wrong with that Lizz, it's a pretty great place. Well, not right now but usually. ;)

[lizzardbits]

[IowaMan]

It's not quite as cold this morning as yesterday but still a bit past nippy. Right now it's 9F and it is supposed to be around 20F for a high today with partly cloudy skies.

Freezing Rain

[gekkogecko]

We might get some snow. Or maybe some freezing rain. Or may a little bit of both.

[maddy]

We may get snow... the weatherman hasn't been right on that yet this winter - why should I start believing now? Just because it's February, and I'm in New England and we haven't had a measurable snowfall?

[sodaklostsoul]

You can have some of our snow maddy, we have plenty. :D

[IowaMan]

Sunny and 75F here today! :nana:

Hmmmm, I thought that maybe if I said it that it would feel warmer. Nope.

Right now it's -2F with a -21 wind chill. I guess we're supposed to have snow flurries today with a high of around 10F.

[Winston77]

The first snow of the season

[sodaklostsoul]

First snow^^^^ lucky you.

The pretty snow has been replaced by blowing snow. We need to go out and about tomarrow but it's suppose to get real nasty. :(

[dicksbro]

We're up to a balmy 12F under fair skies right now with a -2 wind chill. Only expected to reach 13F today and wind chills could sink to -10.

I think it's expected to be next Friday before we go over the freezing mark. :(

[IowaMan]

Cold. Just flat out cold. Right now it's -4F and a wind chill of -28F. They are forecasting a high temp today of 3F. Supposedly tomorrow the high will only be -2F. :(

[maddy]

I'm praying the sun doesn't come out today - odd thing to say I know. But it snowed last night and it's so darn pretty - all the trees covered in snow, the ground covered in a billowly layer of snow. I'm afraid it's the only snow we'll see this winter so I want it to last.

[1nutworld]

it is 4 degrees and sunny, but the wind chill is -11. It's supposed to get all they way to 15 degrees today. HEAT WAVE!!

[IowaMan]

It's absolutely pathetic that I am able to read that and think, "Hmmm, I should drive up and see 1nutworld today, he's having better weather than we are."

[1nutworld]

It's absolutely pathetic that I am able to read that and think, "Hmmm, I should drive up and see 1nutworld today, he's having better weather than we are."

Oh, I see the plow!!!!!!! Hate to go out in this crap but got stuff that needs to be done. Or not.

[sodaklostsoul]

The cobweb outside the back porch door is pretty with the snow/frost in it.

Sheez, I guess I did'nt leave blizzards behind when I left SD.

[Neige]

It's gorgeous and sunny here!!! -8° C, and feels like -16 though...

[cavegirl]

Fog...thick pea soupy type fog...and cold, very cold *shivers*

[Scarecrow]

15f and windy, with slowly falling temps.

[campingboy]

Damn it is cold here tonight. And the wind is making it feel a lot colder.

-36 °F / -38 °C
Clear

[PantyFanatic]

http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h102/PantyFanatic/Freezing3.jpg

[dicksbro]

-3F with a wind chill of -15 ... but for some reason ^^^^, it's feeling warm right now. :hot:

[IowaMan]

-9F with a -25F wind chill right now. Projected high temp of -2F today. :(

I think I may just have to hold my hands and "stuff" up to my monitor to see if the pic PF posted will help warm them up. :D

[1nutworld]

it's 3 degrees under mostly sunny skies, the 19mph NW winds are knocking the temp down to -16.

All I know is that my night-time setting on my thermostat is 62. After running for an hour and a half it was 56 degrees in the house, at 10 am today.

Anyone got an extra room in Florida?

[IowaMan]

I thought perhaps the thermometer in my kitchen window was broken because it reads -17F but one of the local TV stations shows a -15F reading so I guess maybe my -17 could be correct. Looks like it's going to be sunny at least. :(

They're claiming we'll reach 7F sometime today.

[PantyFanatic]

Over night low of -5F with w/c of -25F, but up to a possible 9F high tomorrow. :D


http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h102/PantyFanatic/TempConvert.jpg

[Neige]

This morning when I went to school, with the windchill, it was -36°C. Now it's warmed up to -27°C, again with windchill.

[PantyFanatic]

Just look at all the 'invigoration' those Aussies are missing :D

[dicksbro]

2F under cloudy skies with an 80% chance of 4-6" of snow this morning. High today, around 10F. :(

[jseal]

A mite brisk bt Baltimore standards 10 °F (-12 °C), but downright balmy by ^^ others. ^^

[sodaklostsoul]

It's 10F and no windchill but light snow again. Roads are crappy.

[dicksbro]

SNOW! SNOW! SNOW! It's really coming down right now. Started about 7AM this morning and we're expecting 4-6". I think we've got the 4" already.

[IowaMan]

Another cold one here today. Right now it's -9F and we're supposed to be lucky if we get to 10F today. :(

We got a little of the white stuff yesterday as well, about 4 inches here at my place. Nothing too bad but just enough to get me mad when they plowed it and blocked in my car, again. (Yep, still a bit mad over that one.)

[dicksbro]

0F under partly cloudy skies. Highs are expected reach a balmy 16F today. Still a week of sub-freezing temperatures ahead.

I wonder if the swimming pools will be opening soon? :shrug:

[IowaMan]

Not looking like a swimming pool day here today still a bit on the chilly side. It's sunny and -4F right now and we're supposed to have a high temp of around 10F. Cupid had better be wearing a fur diaper come Wednesday if it doesn't warm up a little bit.

[IowaMan]

Looks like we're having a heat wave here today. Right now it's 11F and it's supposedly going to get up to 20F. Probably a few snow flurries and I guess we're supposed to get 2" - 4" of snow tomorrow but at least it wasn't -15F when I woke up today. :nana:

[sodaklostsoul]

We gots 22F with a wind chill of 8F. :hair:

Snow flurries it says. :kissass:

[PantyFanatic]

.......I wonder if the swimming pools will be opening soon? :shrug:
Ours are :cool:

I was checking that out just the other day and got lucky with a one-hand/out-the-window shot from the Shore Way.

[jay-t]

39 and cloudy here today hi of about 46 today

[dicksbro]

28F and cloudy right now. It's suppose to climb to 32F today but then drop some and begin snowing. Looks like 2-4" tonight and another 2-4" tomorrow for a total of 4-8". Actually we're lucky ... east of us near the Indiana line the amounts are suppose to approach a foot or more. I wonder if my neighbor with the ArticCat and plow will want to do our drives again. :confused:

I'll hope so. :)

[Scarecrow]

DB just heard that we will get between 6' & 12' of the white stuff starting tonight through Wednesday morning. With a low of -2f on Thursday morning. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrr Do you want to shovel my drive?

[maddy]

I hope Scarecrow meant " and not ' in his post :) Else a shovel isn't going to do you much good.

[Scarecrow]

It's a blizzard, 7" deep and getting deeper, up to 12" before its done, with wind gust up to 45mph. We are under a blizzard warning until Midnight. Central Illinois, Indiana and Ohio are all getting it today. The east coast can have it tomorrow.


P.S. yes inches and not feet :faint:

[dicksbro]

Blizzard here, too. 21F with wind chills of 5F. Still snowing with expected total accumulation in the 8-10" range. Winds gusting to 40 mph and drifts already are piling up to 1 1/2' to 2'. Not any fun at all.

About eight of us guys just got done loading a semi with charitable donations of medical equipment, furniture and other household items. It's on it's way to Biloxi for shipment overseas to S. America. Man, was it cold. I really feel sorry for the truck driver as he needs to be on the road heading to Sikeston, MO where he'll spend the night. I'd hate to be driving a rig like that in weather like this. He's liable to hit ice a little further south near Springfield, IL. Yuck.

Good wishes to anyone having to be on the roads today in this part of the country,

[Neige]

:loveshowe8 to 16 inches here tomorrow!!!!!!!!:loveshowe

[wyndhy]

snowin and icin

[sodaklostsoul]

We have blue sky, the sun is out but it's only 6F. :hair:

[Winston77]

kinda looking like the big storm of the year is a fizzle

[Neige]

Snow! :loveshowe

[maddy]

:banghead: Sleet!

[IAKaraokeGirl]

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow...

[Winston77]

Cold

[IowaMan]

Yep, cold here too. :(

Right now it's -12F but they are saying it will be in the 20's for a high. Maybe a bit of snow too. They are also saying that we will be having highs in *gulp* THE 30'S within the next couple of days. :faint:

(I'll believe that when it happens.)

[dicksbro]

-5F under clear skies with a wind chill of -17. Brrrr. Could be worse. The weather channel just said Roseboom, NY had 38" of snow. :yikes:

[grl2naughty]

Well it is snowing here again and they are calling for 3 to 4 inches of snow. Man when is it ever going to end? *sigh*

[IowaMan]

Really? We're not getting any snow here yet. Must've stayed to our south. Sorry bout that grl2naughty.

[BlondBabe]

Yep, were gettin "peppered" with snow here in Eastern Kansas right now. Looks like a blizzard outside, can't hardly see. Prayin for winter to be over soon...Pllllleeeaaasseeeee :wish:

[sodaklostsoul]

We got 18 and the sun is out............still gotta go shovel the drive yet, was a bit messy getting in late last night.

[IowaMan]

Looks like we got about 2 inches of new snow overnight but it is a bit warmer than it has been lately. Right now it's 16F and is supposed to get up to about 20F. They are still promising upper 30's within the next few days though. :wish:

[dicksbro]

25F with light snow. Off and on snow showers until sometime around noon.

[IowaMan]

24F right now with a brisk breeze but it's supposed to reach the low to mid-40's today. :nana:

[Cheyanne]

From the National Weather Service for our area..... :( Watch out IowaMan! It is headed your way too!

Winter storm watch now in effect from Friday evening through sunday morning,
The winter storm watch is now in effect from Friday evening through Sunday morning.
The NWS in des moines has issued a winter storm watch, which is in effect from Friday evening through sunday morning.
A major winter storm system over southern california will move out of the rockies and across the plains Saturday then turn northeast toward iowa Saturday night. A mixed bag of weather is expected with the storm. There will be a chance for a mixture of freezing rain and sleet late Friday afternoon and especially Friday night into Saturday. At this time it appears likely that much of the area will see one quarter to one half inch of ice accretion by saturday afternoon.
The freezing rain will taper off during the afternoon Saturday. Then, colder air will move into the state Saturday night into Sunday with the next round of precipitation expected to fall as snow during that period. Six to twelve inches of new snow is possible over the watch area by Sunday afternoon. This will fall atop the ice from the first round from Friday night. Additionally, strong wind is expected Sunday which will cause blowing and drifting snow and may create hazardous conditions if the ice remains on trees and power lines. The watch has been extended through Sunday morning due to the expected slower movement of the storm.
A winter storm watch means there is a potential for significant snow, sleet, or ice accumulations that may impact travel. Continue to monitor the latest forecasts.

[Oldfart]

Blue sky for a change, but still bloody hot and humid.

[IowaMan]

From the National Weather Service for our area..... :( Watch out IowaMan! It is headed your way too!

I could've gone without reading that forecast. I can just about see all of the grass in my front yard again and most of it in back and now we've got another storm coming? :(

Isn't it supposed to wait until the Girl's State Basketball Tourney starts? I thought that was our rule.

[IowaMan]

Well, Cheyanne was right. The storm is here as I type. I swear I just saw some sort of apocalyptic voodoo monkey flying around outside throwing handfulls of ice pellets at my little town. :(

It's been going for only about 15-20 minutes and the front steps are already a sheet of ice. Got a feeling this isn't going to be much fun, supposedly it's going to be more ice than anything here where I'm located.

How's the weather out there in San Fran. osuche? :p

Apocalyptic Voodoo Monkeys here too.. rofl!!! Excellent description!

We have had little ice pellets (looks like those little balls from bean bags), hail, lighting strikes, thunder, wind, sleet and ice so far. The forcast above looks to stay... 7-13 inches of snow before we are done. We stopped at the grocery store (like everyone else in town) picked up some snacks, beer and stuff that doesn't have to be cooked just in case the power goes out to get us through the weekend. We have a fireplace, so smores may be on the menu too.. :D

[IowaMan]

Yep, looks like they changed their minds for us and decided we're in for 6 to 12 inches of snow by Monday too. :(

The winds right now are absolutely awful. They are saying 40 - 55 mph gusts for much of the weekend and I'm thinking that's right about where we're at now.

You'd think the news of lots of inches and big ol' blow job would make us all feel a bit better wouldn't you? :rofl:

[dicksbro]

29F under mostly cloudy skies. Looks like it'll be windy with rain and possibly thunderstorms for later in the day. Oh yeah, there's also a flood watch from areas near the Illinois river or along some of the creeks.

[Scarecrow]

Yes there is a flood watch for us as they say we could get 2-3 inches of rain on top of the melting snow from last week and the ground is still frozen, any have a boat handy. Thank goodness the temp is 36f, so no snow or ice.

[IowaMan]

It's about 28F here right now. I can't really tell if it's actually snowing or if it is just blowing snow that we've got going on. The winds are just absolutely crazy though, have been since yesterday. They have changed their forecast back to what they had originally stated, that where I am at will miss the heaviest snow and just get the icy stuff. Probably only 3 to 6 inches of snow by the time it's all done sometime Monday.

[Lilith]

:sun: 71

[Neige]

:sun: 71

:sun: 1 F here!!!!

[dicksbro]

Our rain has turned into a slushy mess for right now. Hopefully, the roads won't get too slick. It's hovering right about 32F right now.

[jseal]

The sky is clear just now - not a cloud to be seen - but the forcast is for sleet and freezing rain late this evening.

[sodaklostsoul]

Its 32 and cloudy. Winter warning was cancled and we have an advisory instead. Had sleet when I went to bed followed by a light dusting of snow.

The streets had been dry for a couple of days..............I'm with DB, I'm ready for Spring!!!!

[jseal]

While it will pass quickly, the pleasant part of the snowfall is swirling outside. The constant background rumble of the city is mostly muted, and the snow is pristine and white.

[Cheyanne]

OK.. we are now paying for December temps being in the 40's & 50's!!!!!!!!!!! We were without power for 30 hours. Thank goodness we have a generator! Hopefully we won't lose power this round, but if we do we are prepared!

Winter weather advisory remains in effect until 3 am cst thursday, blizzard warning in effect from 6 am Thursday to 6 pm cst friday,
The NWS in des moines has issued a blizzard warning, which is in effect from 6 am Thursday to 6 pm cst friday. The blizzard watch is no longer in effect. A winter weather advisory remains in effect until 3 am cst Thursday.
A mix of freezing drizzle, sleet or snow will fall over the advisory area through the evening hours and end after midnight. The precipitation will be off and on and precipitation amounts will be light but any freezing precipitation falling over the area will only compound any remaining problems from last weekends ice storm.
The mixed precipitation will change over to snow during the morning hours Thursday. By late Thursday 5 to 9 inches of snow will fall. In addition to the snow, a very strong northwest wind will increase to 25 to 40 mph with higher gusts. This will cause blizzard conditions over the area. The blizzard conditions will persist through Friday when the wind will begin to diminish.
A blizzard warning means severe winter weather conditions are expected or occurring. Falling and blowing snow with strong winds and poor visibilities are likely. This will lead to whiteout conditions, making travel extremely dangerous. Do not travel. If you must, have a winter survival kit with you. If you get stranded, stay with your vehicle.
A winter weather advisory means that periods of snow, sleet, or freezing rain will cause travel difficulties. Be prepared for slippery roads and limited visibilities, and use caution while driving.

[1nutworld]

Snow tonight low of 25, tomorrow snow to rain mix! Yippee.

I think I've got Georgia on my mind!




Oh wait, that's just Tess!

[dicksbro]

37F under cloudy skies right now. Suppose to get up to 48F today, but with a chance of thunderstorms this morning and a wintry mix later this afternoon.

We really don't need the water right now, but at least it's not icing.

[sodaklostsoul]

We got the ice DB, its 34, thunder and icy rain. Poor little tree has icy droplets hanging on it.

[IowaMan]

We had thunderstorms overnight here. Right now there's a little bit of rain and the temp is right at 32F. Supposedly the storm Cheyanne mentioned is going to send the snow north of where I'm located. Hoping that most of the precip is in the form of rain but it really could go either way, rain or ice. The winds still haven't let up and we've got gust up to 40 mph right now that are supposed to continue throughout the next couple of days.

But the Cubs have their first Spring Training baseball game in Arizona today so all is right with my world. :D

[scotzoidman]

52F with rain, mid-south under a tornado watch until 6 pm cst

[wyndhy]

stay safe!^^

[smithy020]

warm and sunny, slight breeze, tempts at about 8-10C's.

[Cheyanne]

Well, the gov declared all 99 counties in Iowa disaster areas becasue of the last storm and this storm.

We are in the area to receive 14-16 inches of snow. We have power at the moment, but the electricity intermitently fluctuates off/on. I imagine we will lose power again tonight. At least we have a generator and fireplaces. I35 from Ames north has been closed as well as I80 West of Des Moines. Blizzard conditions now, we can't see past our trees at the lower end of our yard. It is kinda pretty actually - I will try and get some pictures to post later when the power fluctuations aren't an issue.

Well, I am typing this via my battery backup! Time to sign off I think so I don't damage my computer.

[Oldfart]

We are stuck in the tail end of a bit of weather that tried for a week to be a cyclone, and by the time it succeeds it will hopefully be 500 miles west of here, heading further away.

We've had about 18 inches of rain here, which is cruel when the rest of the country would sacrifice every politician they could lay their hands on to get a piece of this wet action.

Maybe two or three days yet.

[dicksbro]

Cold. Bloody cold. Howling wind. Brrrrrr!



I'm ready for spring.

[IowaMan]

It's about 25F here right now and a little bit breezy. Supposed to be around 30F for a high here today and they keep teasing us by saying that in a few days we may hit 50F. Not so sure I'm buying it.

[1nutworld]

46 degrees and very sunny. Splotches of grass are starting to peep thru the melting snow.

[IowaMan]

It's foggy and rainy here right now, about 37F for the temp.

It's absolutely a beautiful day in the metropolis today. Right now it's sunny and 57F. We're supposed to hit 64F later this afternoon. :loveshowe:

The puddles and mud from the weekend melt are starting to dry out. :D

Hmmmm, I see it's supposed to hit 90F out at my parent's place in California today. I think I'll be content with sunny and 64F. :nod:

[IowaMan]

WOOHOO!!!!! The forecast is for a high of 73F here today with mostly sunny skies. :nana:

It's already 53F......... I'd be more than happy with that as the high temp. :nod:

Of course, right after they told us that we could have record high temps today the kind folks of the morning news followed with a story about how gas prices will continue to go up. Why in the world would they choose to do that? :confused:

[1nutworld]

sunny and 49 at the moment, supposed to get to 65.

[sodaklostsoul]

Sunny and 55, think I saw like 62 today.

[1nutworld]

made it all the way to 70 degrees, and I've got the window's open.
What a day!

[sodaklostsoul]

Our high today was 68 and it's 67 according to weatherbug right now.

[Scarecrow]

Tied a record high today, 78f. But on Thursday will be hard to reach 55f.

[dicksbro]

57F right now. Suppose to get up to the mid-70s today but with a chance of some thunderstorms. The, tomorrow will drop sharply with the highs only expected in the 40s. :(

[wyndhy]

the past few days have had every season packed in.
tuesday was just like spring, birds and bugs, a light rain here and there...it even smelled like spring. wednesday and early thurs were so warm, the sun was hot, it was even a little humid, and you could smell that summer smell. then yesterday afternoon, it got cold and then windy so dead leaves were blowing all around…just like autumn, and this morning we woke up to sleet and snow.

so bizarre

[IowaMan]

It's a really *blah* sort of day here today. Dreary, cold and windy. Right now it's 32F but it has been so nice lately that it just seems to be much colder. :(

[themi01]

What's worse 3/4" of ice or 18 " of snow.....after just clearing my driveway ....That ice kick my A@@... might have been worse than that blizzard we had a couple years back... At least then I could blow and plow

[dicksbro]

There was some thunder a few minutes ago, but that appears to have moved on past now. Right now it's 38F under mostly cloudy skies. The weather map looks like some more rain is nearing us, but it should all clear off later this morning and turning sunny with a high in the upper 50's.

[ReaperWoman]

Was a nice sunny spring day. I went into the library for 15 mins and came out to a sky-ful of snow. It lasted for about 10 mins and then went away again. Oh how I love March...

[IowaMan]

Pretty nice afternoon here today. It's 52F right now and very sunny. A bit breezy but nothing too terrible.

[sodaklostsoul]

We hit 48F with sun and a bit of wind. Came out nice considering it was almost sleeting this AM.

[PantyFanatic]

It WAS sleeting all day :mad:, ....JUST above freezing with falling slush!

The WORST. :hair:




I would rather give up the few degrees and have snow than this. :banghead:








............ especially if I was camping. :rofl:

[dicksbro]

Someone's turned the sun off and it's gotten dark and cooler. :yikes:

[wyndhy]

the last few days ... snowing, melting, raining, snowing, melting
anybody wants to mudwrestle, my yard would be a good place.

[Scarecrow]

all right naked mudwrestling at Wyndhy's ^^^

[dicksbro]

We may be fixing up central Illinois to be an alternative mudwrestling site. It's 64F :yikes: with a thunderstorm. Just south of us they're saying there's a chance of 60 mph winds and hail that could reach baseball size :yikes: !!! Almost feels more like summer than spring. Looks like rain will persist in the area for most of the next week.

[jseal]

Spring is approaching. :)

[sodaklostsoul]

DB we got a big thunderstorm right now. Its 63 with lots of rain and wind. Abner is hiding under the couch. Had a good storm last night too.

[IowaMan]

Poor Abner. :(


Absolutely gorgeous morning here today. It's about 42F and sunny right now and is supposed to be in the mid-50's for a high. More rain for us scheduled for tomorrow though.

[dicksbro]

After some morning showers, it was a beautiful day. Now, though, I here thunder rumbling closer and expect the rain to start soon. :(

[IowaMan]

It's gloomy and just sort of blah here right now. Mid-40's temp. It rained most of the night so everything is nice and soggy. :(

Great day to be someplace else. I'm thinking sunny California! :p

[IowaMan]

Yep, sunny California would definitely be a nice change of pace today. I can barely see the house across the street through the fog. It's already about 50F for the temp but I'm still thinking that sunny and 75 would be much better than what I'll have here today. :nod:

[dicksbro]

Currently 60F with light rain but it looks like we'll get a short pause then it'll pick up again later. Flash flood warnings issued until tonight. :( High around 68F with thunderstorms this afternoon and evening. Then, a break in the action on Sunday and Monday. :)

[jay-t]

63 here now with a high of 78 today a south wind of 10-20mph chance of rain tonite of 40%.

[jseal]

Overcast and rainy in Baltimore

[Pita]

83 with clear skies. It's almost as hot as summer!! :eek:

[dicksbro]

Hi, Tess!

62F under clear skies right now and they're expecting us to reach 79F under partly cloudy skies today. Getting awfully warm awfully early.

[jseal]

It is a beautiful, clear Sprng day. :)

[ReaperWoman]

British Summer Time?

Please point me in the direction of the british summer, cause it sure ain't here...

[sodaklostsoul]

Can't believe we hit 78 today and it's still 70 out. Crazy!!! Course on my day off tomarrow is a chance of rain, figures!

[Scarecrow]

We got up to 84f, what happened to Spring???

[IowaMan]

It's 61F and a big muggy out there right now but I'll take it. :thumb:

Mostly sunny with a high near 80F again today. Beautiful day in the neighborhood!!!! :nana:

[1nutworld]

Supposed to be high of 73 today and partly cloudy. Sun is out right now and it's 68.

[sodaklostsoul]

Our high was 65 and it's past that already, breezy but no chance of rain anymore.

[1nutworld]

Supposed to be high of 73 today and partly cloudy. Sun is out right now and it's 68.

No clouds and its up to 74............Golf sounds good right about now! Too bad I've gotta go to work. (Man that is good to be able to say)

[cherrypie7788]

It's 82 here. It started out sunny and nice but right now it's cloudy and it looks like it might pour.

[sodaklostsoul]

Our high was 65 and it's past that already, breezy but no chance of rain anymore.
We hit 73 and it's a tad bit breezy still but damn nice. Boog got the storm windows out and it feels sooooo good to have fresh air after winter.

[dicksbro]

It's dark out ... but then, it is only 3:45AM. :rolleyes2

[jseal]

Sunny, clear and in the upper 70's.

Sure wish I had off toiday!

[wyndhy]

[Winston77]

[IowaMan]

51F right now with rain and lots of thunder and lightning. The sky is absolutely pitch black, sort of scary looking really.

[jay-t]

its 61 f now but we;ve had almost 5 in of rain in the last 24 hrs!they had 4 twisters about 30mi. north of us last nite.Tommorrow sunny and about 63

[IowaMan]

Cloudy and 63F here right now. Awfully windy though. We've got a tornado watch out for my part of the state until 9pm. Can't say that the skies to the west look all that pleasant right now. Hopefully it's just rain. Gotta love spring in the midwest.


They just broke into TV programming to let us know that there is a tornado warning for a couple of counties SW of where I'm at, about an hour away. Looks like they've spotted a couple of those damn things flying around. And, of course, they are moving to the NE which is right towards me. :(

[sodaklostsoul]

Just checked the radar and we will be getting what IowaMan had^^^^^ and it looks like he'll be getting some more either overnight or tomarrow.

[IowaMan]

WOOHOO!!! Made it through the first springtime storm event without a scratch. :nana:

We ended up with lots of rain and a very little bit of pea-sized hail but no tornado.

Being fascinated by tornadoes, (loved it when I lived in Kansas for a couple of years) and being the idiot that I am, I went outside to look at the sky at one point when the rain had completely stopped. It was really calm and the lowest clouds were swirling. Pretty cool to see. Of course had a tornado decided to shoot down and pick me up IowaMan may have been sitting in Booger and Soda's driveway this morning hoping they'd bring him breakfast. :D

47F here right now and overcast. Supposed to be rainy and mid-50's today.

[dicksbro]

51F and sunny right now after a night of storms ... but, more rain predicted later today with a high only in the 60's. :(
