11AM and already another 2 inches rain and still coming down. At least I don’t have to shovel it

We made the drive home today. However, we were on the road at 5:40am. No traffic, only a few miles of freezing rain with mostly dry roads. It has been raining hard since we got home with temperatures in the middle thirties.

Frank- I am happy to read that you made it home safe and sound.

I have been reading abut all kinds of later occurring weather related traffic accidents at another site along the route that I assume you took.

23F never got to low 30's today snow yet arrive on the border 14-18 inches by Wednesday morning. :confused2:

Good day getting little things done before storm arrives even took tractor for short ride.

Check game cams around the house side fields number deer raccoon squirrels and Boo Boo headed for our home looking for Thanksgiving dinner

... air temp wrong.
Time watch little football hot dinner soon. :licking:

Enjoy the evening all.

Thomas- Thanks for sharing the game cam picture. I have not seen any evidence of bears around here since the week before bear season which is around the time the Brogen treed one. I am more hopeful of getting 14"- 15". The models are still all over the place as to total accumulations. There is a lot of energy within this complex weather system.

I have seen those reports too. When we passed through that area this am the sprinkles were just starting and the temperature was a chilly 24F

. I’m sure it didn’t take long to ice up. Eating leftover cranberry bread while driving instead of stopping for breakfast was probably the best call of the day. After that zone the ride was very uneventful

Kyle, that’s a great talent you have there.
My gauge is screwed up but it looks like around.4 of rain, temps near 60.

Hatches are battened and tractor is at the ready. It has been snowing since 3 PM. Might just take the day off tomorrow as all the schools around here are already closed. Would be nice if the governor was to give me a paid day off.
Looks like between 8 and 18 inches for me over the next two days. Depends which weather guesser you believe.
I got both neighbors ready and will help the rest on our street if needed. Will get to try out the new blower at the apartment house too!
Hope everyone stays safe and warm.

It's going to be interesting. We have ~ 4" already. There may be a "dry slot event" later tonight..... We'll see what happens.
