Good morning!!!!

[Buppies]

41 now and drizzle supposed to drop to 30 by lunchtime and snow 1 to as much as 4 areas just north of me 7 to 10 inches wow.
Good Morning

 

[wngsprd]

Temps dropping all day to 13 while the rain turns to sleet then 4 to 7 inches of snow today. Didn't we already declare meteorological spring is here?

New spade for Christmas? ...just a coincidence, I'm sure.

Had to go rescue my wife in Richmond yesterday - just a dead battery...jumped it and let her take my 4Runner while I took her vehicle for a new battery - even though it was 7 years old, still got $30 refund on the warranty - nice surprise wrapped in the middle of that little ordeal - and all is well.

Sorry about the car and battery and really sorry about snow but you are close to the worst of it. As much as a lot of people do not want to hear this think Mother Nature has one more little surprise for us before spring. Be careful

Where's the Beef?

All the schools are closed, I moved a customer meeting to next week, and hunkered down prepared to be freezing rain all night snowing before dawn, SNOWED IN...

What have I got?
38 degrees and raining...

Grrrrr

Wayback machine - Two years ago we got a heavy wet snow and I was in Denver on biz. I got falsely accused of mistreating my horses by my oldest daughter and the neighbor at that time backed her up, after some threatening text messages from my daughter I decided to drink too many adult beverages in the hotel bar because my life was about to explode... Oh what along strange trip it has been... But I hear SPRING is coming...

Be well all,
David

Your health and a lot of good friends
By the way your snow is coming and heavy too me thinks. More tractor time:dance1:

Morning all, 16 degrees is the high today so the rain forest in my living room has stopped. Off to workout to get my mind at ease. Does anyone know how to send a rather large zip file to a g mail address from a yahoo account?

 

[ronjhall]

Drinking lots of coffee. 52° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 75° with lots of sun. Little under the weather with allergies. Pollen count is getting higher everyday. But it sure smells good with all the citrus trees in bloom. Maybe need to stay in instead of sitting on patio to help my allergies.
All those in way of the storms that hit here Monday. Stay safe and warm.
Good Morning All.

 

[riptides]

Alright, this is weird. 34 degrees out. I got home last night and it was 50! There is of course a storm coming in. Anywhere from 5-10 inches of snow was predicated, but now they are saying 4-7. My yard and pasture parts look like mud swamps. These wild temp swings cannot be good.

 

[dave1949]

18F & cloudy. No snow or rain here, or in the next ten days to speak of.

You folks across the middle have had your share of messy storms lately. Be safe and patient.

Eric & Drew, good luck with your fruit trees.

 

[RobertBrown]

69.3 F now, forecast is for clear and sunny (rain chance at under 10%) today with a high of 86F.

Buppies,

My life is steadily improving. I can see light ahead.

I also believe the snow is still coming...

Like Riptides, my property & driveway is a mud bog...

I need to cut some more wood up into burnable chunks also...

Office is closed...

Be well all.
David

20 this morning and staying about that. Well I'll give it to the local meteorologists they got it right. They said 12+ around is and just said Heaviest for us. Well I go to bed last night with about 8 inches in the ground. I get up this morning and the news is saying 21 inches on the ground and it's still snowing. I haven't been out to measure yet. I don't have a good place that's not effected by drifts. But I doubt they will be far off. The bright side is 60 by this time next week.

Buppies please explain. One more round?

Eric. No tooth fairy last night. He's not big enough to understand that yet. And we didn't have a tooth for the fairy.

Yikes! Any worries about flooding when that melts? You've had a lot of moisture already.

When the atmosphere changes fro winter to spring mode the tug of war that ensues causes storms to evolve with cold air pulled down into them, thunderstorms in the spring however with March being a trasitional month snow storms do occur and that I believe will be the case this year so I do not think we are out of the woods quite yet.

As a side note Spring is most likely going to be warm and stormy for your and my areas if my tea leaves are correct

 

[deerseeker001]

-16 and sunny skies with a high of 11.It sounds like spring will pop next week with temps 40/50 wont know how to act.

 

[farmer2009]

Not too much. Some of the rivers are already above flood stage. But I don't think we will see any significant flooding just minor flooding which is good for the bottom farm ground. We were actually on the dry side before the snow a few weeks ago. So these snow melts should help with subsoil moisture. Last snow even close to this size was back in the 90's then have to go back to the 60's and 70's.

Saw this on the internet and thought it was fitting...

 

[daugen]

21 inches of snow! Almost three inches of rain, yeah, where's it going to go...

nice here this morning, 63, temps dropping, rain coming in after lunch and turning to sleet and ice tonight. And hopefully that will be the last gasp of winter.
maybe

electricians are here running the wires to the third ac unit, disconnecting it in an outage, and then running the load shedding sensors to the other two units. Plus disconnecting the hot tub. I'll manually turn off the two hot water heaters, but during the winter, with gas heat, I shouldn't have a problem.
It's during the summer I would need the most juice. I've got 100 amps trying to run a 400 amp panel so anything unnecessary, like the the freezer in the garage, could be turned off for a while manually.
not hard to do and after owning a boat and a motorhome, something I have a lot of experience doing.

electricians said they installed a large generator for a guy locally who had 600amp residential service.
I wonder if he is on the board of the local utility...

first daffodil has bloomed!

reminds me I'm probably going to have to beef up the service to the barn, since I want to run a electric welder and a good sized air compressor there. The barn has its own pole, transformer and meter, they sure lost money on this one...13 bucks a month to run the one halide lamp way over the barn on a tall pole.

Thanks for the warning. I was beginning to get concerned about moisture levels this spring.

That's a relief. Our snow pack is around 2.5' now.

We don't have flooding here around home but ice dams on the larger rivers that pass through towns are always a possibility. Could be some thick ice this year with the cold we've had.
