I just got interviewed by Bloomberg about how the livestock is coping with the storm.

Point. Counter point.

Probably more wind in Austin than here in SW Colorado.

That wind was brutal, I'm pretty sure i got a small lift from one burst on my truck, steering felt like I was on ice for a second.  The one thing in the video that stood out was that the warned truck drivers turned with the push, instead of against which might feel like the right impulse at the time.

We dodged this bullet/cannon ball. 10 miles west and north of town were walloped. We saw rain Wednesday night which froze but melted again yesterday. Everything in town closed but yea..better safe than sorry.

Hurricanes, Aggy, snakes, 2-3 months of 100 degree heat and humidity, oversized shit everywhere, bat shit crazy politics.

Texas certainly has it's charms, but there are plenty of reasons not to live there, depending on one's point of view.

This is the best link I can find that covers all the destruction in Nebraska. They got a big rain on top of snow, on top of frozen ground. Rain melted the snow, and it ALL ran off. Ran off fast. That all happened during the blizzard. Flooding all over, cattle have been drowned. Some big dams have failed and the Cooper nuclear plant is gonna be an island for a bit.

Further north, the wet snow has killed cows and young calves. Some roads in North and South Dakota weren't opened until late today.

I know some on this board dislike the State of Nebraska, and northerners in general. Over in the Cloak Room they disparage farmers on occasion. But on this night, lots of those people will appreciate your T's and P's.

I find the people of Nebraska to be the most squared away this country has to offer.

They are a squirrelly, unhinged bunch I tell ya.  

Last week...

Fortunately, the weather has gotten much warmer and drier. What could possibly go wrong now?

36 this morning at my home.  It's fucking April.

Yup, windows are starting to open up.

70 and sunny yesterday. Calling for 10” of snow on Wednesday. Fucking Iowa.

We got an inch or two of snow on Friday but warmed up to near 60 and sunny on Saturday.

Forecast says around 6” on Wednesday. Awesome. 

That’s your mom’s forecast erreday erreday 

Our weather guy likes to get get cute with his stats. He’s giving us a 60% chance of a foot of snow from Wednesday through Thursday. That’s easier than predicting an actual number of inches.

I just saw NWS calling for 24-30" in localized parts of central South Dakota.  We're in the 1-3" range, and it will likely pretty much all melt in a day or two.

Worst about the SD snow is that it's going to go right into the the Missouri River.

Well, a foot of snow is 12 inches of snow.

True, but he won’t even go out on a limb and predict 10-12” or 12-14”. He’s a pussy. 

6-8 potential in my area.

I hate this winter and I hate all of you. I'm never going back to school NEVERRR

Gonna be mid-90's here in Texas tomorrow.  You don't have to shovel sun.  Or sweat.  Or swamp ass.

I was told there would be no math.

Sounds miserable. Should be 50s next week, 60s and 70s by end of April. See ya in the summer heat whine thread

I’m not shoveling a damn thing. Shit will melt in a day. We might not even get snow now.

I still remember as a kid it dumping like 3 feet of snow on us over Easter weekend in Sweetwater.  Shit was wild. 

Speaking of winter, tomorrow in Austin temps are going to hover in the mid- and even in some places upper 90's.  But only one day.  Thursday a cool front (dry) comes through and cools us off into the low 80's, and we'll stay around there the next couple of days.

Summer is here for 1 day tomorrow.  Dealwiddit.

Just saw the guy on FOX 4 in Dallas predict Denver will get 20 inches tomorrow. It was 70 today.

Actually, it hit 80 here today. Highly doubt we’ll get anywhere near 20 inches. It’ll be a few (maybe half dozen), all of which will be gone over the 60- and 70-degree weekend.

phdhorn has finally made it official - Nebraska, South Dakota, Minnesota & Wisconsin are getting a blizzard.
consider yourselves warned

 

It was 73 on Monday, and now it's snow-raining.  Snow's pretty much over and we didn't even get an inch, so I can't bitch much.

Of all the unnecessary, new weather terms, “Bomb Cyclone” may be the dumbest of them all.

It was an interesting drive to the farm this morning.  Driving straight west on a state highway that was just wet, I could see massive displays of lightning.  When I turned north onto a county road, I found it completely iced over, and I was getting hit with a 60 MPH cross breeze.  I'm still amazed I wasn't literally blown off the road.

Well get to work planting soybeans.  The world needs more beans.

Hopefully by Easter.  This isn't helping.

You can't put "late season winter storm" in movie trailers with sound effects and excited "do or die" narration.  Have to give the idiots something to read because god knows that real news reporting died out with bell bottoms.

So Mrs. Al wasn't in the truck?

Yeah, a bunch of my neighbor's freshly blossomed leaves are torn to shreds and in my yard after yesterday's windfest down here.  I don't have any downed trees or powerlines, however.  That storm was sucking up some serious energy from the south these last two days.
