Good morning!!!!

[CWB Wyo]

The low this morning is 5°. Yesterday was partly cloudy and in the mid teens and wind picked up to 20 mph. Today is going to mostly cloudy with a chance of snow showers. With the high in the low 20's and the winds 15-20 mph.

Looking ... I didn't say I catch any, I just like running around with the fishing pole ( rod, sorry Eric ). The mosquitos I swat are about as close as I get to catching any.

Not much planned for to day. I did get the parts to work on the defroster on the ranger, might work on that.

Hope everyone has a good hump day.
CWB

Roy I hope all is still well with your wife.

Looks like 10 degrees this morning and overcast. Supposed to snow today. Was planning to go sledding today but going to wait until friday.
It's not much fun riding in a snow storm and flat light. Friday is supposed to be clear and sunny. Maybe I can get some pictures.:thumbsup:

Good morning to all! Low went to a chilly 12, going up to 36. Got a total of about 10 inches of snow. Another storm coming in tomorrow night, snow predicted for Friday into Saturday. Wind just got breezy yesterday afternoon, so no big drifts.

Roy, glad Suzette did well last night, hope and prayers sent for a speedy recovery!

Rich, I used to enjoy watching the "ice racing" on Wide World of Sports back in the day.... Do they still put the spikes through the tires? They would tear someone up in a crash!

LNF, thanks for the nasal rinse and bladder control test with that one! :rotfl::rotfl:

Everyone have a great day! Prayers sent!

31° and no snow yet. They have really hyped this snow storm, it better do something.

We now have 3" of hype.

Good Morning Everyone!!!!

8ºF was today’s low; 18ºF now; and high 20ºF’s is the expected high temperature. Sun with cirrus clouds at sunrise, cirrostratus increasing and the cloud deck is lowering as today’s/tonight’s weather system of wintry mix moves in. 1”- 3” pf snow anticipated before the sleet and freezing rain. A similar system Saturday night into Sunday, and something interesting possibly mid week.

Roy- I am happy to read that Suzette is doing ok. I hope she has a quick recovery and return home soon.

Bill- I hope that all goes well for your cat, and thanks for the laugh.

"…. The pacific jet killed our winter"- Buppies. I agree. My self-imposed prevents further and excessive verbiage.

Rich- Good luck with the preparation for your training session.

"… We now have 3" of hype."- BEF. Only hot air from the ProMets out this way presently.

I hope that everyone has a decent hump day.

My + thoughts, wishes, and prayers

CWB, that is why I quit outside unprotected ice fishing. I just couldn't see the point in freezing my but off to feed the fish.

 

[toppop52]

We got maybe an inch before the snow stopped, no rain yet, just overcast and NE winds, 35° and heavy rain headed our way.

 

[daugen]

rain just quit for a little while. Heading out, trying not to leave tracks in wet lawn with golf cart.
I know where the high spots are...
Brain MRI scheduled for tomorrow.
Always involves much back and forth regarding titanium rod in my neck, finally all smiles and onward.
Can't imagine what this will feel like when every small noise now is amplified a hundred times.
I'd like a set of 32db hearing protectors(heck make it 100db!), but they'd get sucked in to the machine.
Best I can ask for is jam in your ear types. I'm already getting a headache thinking about it...
Hopefully this test will rule out worst case scenarios.
This MRI is going to sound like a bunch of crazy people banging on a tin roof with hand sledges.
Just another day in the golden years.

At least before that happens tomorrow I get to go sit in my tractor and get the rear camera system adjusted by the dealer.
They moved both the monitor and the camera, but it's a matter of how far I sink into the air-ride seat for where line of sight is.
And then I'll take a little tractor karma with me.

32°F and light drizzle this morning, going up to 44° today. We got less than 1/2" of "wintery mix" over night at home. When I got to work in north St. Louis city, there was about 1-1/2" on the ground here. Looked like more sleet than snow. The country roads out by us were slushy and a little slick, but main roads and highways were just wet. Not exactly the major disaster it was marketed as.

Hope you guys out east are similarly disappointed.

 

[buckeyefarmer]

So far about 6" of hype. Around 1" per hr.

 

[toppop52]

Light rain and 35, now calling for about a half inch total of rain, that is way better than the two inches that were predicted.

Thundersnow strikes Ohio and Maryland

headline on cnn. Must be a slow news day...
rain started back up, cold and yukky out

replacement goldenrod diesel fuel bowl came in today, to replace the leaking one
that was defective from the very beginning due to doofus installing it way too tight, cracking it.
Unit comes with drain installed, installer decided he could do it better, took it apart, gooped it up,
tightened it down too much, crack, and left it for me.
Ah, real craftsmanship....
Slowly got worse when goop no longer covered enlarging crack so tired of dripping diesel while
I pumped. Took me a long time to remember to order the part.

drove an hour in the dark this morning down to New Bern, next small city down the Coast, a very nice town with a thriving medical services area around the local hospital, which is not in the same chain as the ones up by me. So nice to be in a smaller office, not a cattle roundup like my previous place.
Even my primary doc whose salary is paid by the local chain said quietly they had heard very good things about that ENT office.

time for a movie and a nap

 

[buckeyefarmer]

Not sure I would believe CNN even for a snow report.....

It stopped snowing, little break on the radar, then some freezing stuff later.

 

[Buppies]

Freezing rain and sleet between 30 and 31 driveway cleared yucky day indeed

 

[jbrumberg]

Drew- Enjoy your nap this PM, good luck with the MRI tomorrow and I hope there are no - surprises. Going into those tubes does not bother me. With those provided foam ear plugs I can tune out a lot of that banging pretty well and I can actually go to “sleep” or some kind of Jayzone state.

……. Hope you guys out east are similarly disappointed.- Paul. This has been a disappointing Winter so far- one decent 10” snow and maybe a 7.” I have not been reduced to bitter-casting yet. I have two more months of snow possibilities. March may provide a surprise or two; even early April. In a way a boring Winter may be a good thing considering Mr. Knee here.

Winter Storm Petra is pretty strong considering the thunder snow, but it does not need the unnecessary news hype. I can understand the school closings because of icing. I bet supermarkets are zoos with the news generated hysteria.

 

[buckeyefarmer]

At least the govt names hurricanes, i refuse to acknowledge names given by a private weather company. Next they will name every cloud and f*rt.

 

[jbrumberg]

BEF- Thanks for the laugh. I would think that naming Winter Storms heightens the anxieties of those who equate named Winter storms with named tropical storms like hurricanes and typhoons. Despite my challenges with weather related stuff I rarely watch TWC even though they do/did have some decent ProMets.

Where/how do they (TWC) come up with these names? Quianna? She's next. I'll bet Quianna becomes a big "Wet One". No body like wet ones; Messy stuff with which to deal.

time for a movie and a nap

When I had my prostrate MRI. They gave me a mask that had a video screen in it and a pair of noise cancelling headphones. They have never given me anything for the head MRI's.

I totally agree.

.37 rain since noon.
