From Bill Borghoff, senior meteorologist at TC NWS:
The remarkable consistency continues with this week's 2-part system. Very little has changed, aside from tightening the boundaries of the band as models continue to overlap with their solutions. Still a 90% chance of 10-15", 50% for 15-20", and 10% for 25-30". It's just about certain to be a high-end event, no matter what materializes. A safe range is 12-24" for much of the southern half of MN.
Winter Storm Watch:
230 PM CST Sun Feb 19 2023
...WINTER STORM WATCH IN EFFECT FROM TUESDAY EVENING THROUGH
THURSDAY AFTERNOON...
* WHAT, Heavy snow possible. Total snow accumulations of greater
than 12 inches possible. Winds could gust as high as 45 mph and
lead to areas of blowing snow, blizzard conditions possible.
* WHERE, Portions of central, east central, south central,
southeast and west central Minnesota and northwest and west
central Wisconsin.
* WHEN, From Tuesday evening through Thursday afternoon.
* IMPACTS, Travel could be very difficult to impossible. Areas
of blowing snow could significantly reduce visibility. The
hazardous conditions could impact the morning or evening
commutes. The cold wind chills as low as 20 below zero could
cause frostbite on exposed skin in as little as 30 minutes.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS, There will be two main waves of this event.
The first Tuesday evening through Wednesday morning will see
totals of 4 to 8 inches of snow. There will be a lull before
snow picks up again Wednesday evening where an additional 8 or
more inches of snow could fall.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
Monitor the latest forecasts for updates on this situation.

Since I know glenn can't get enough storm info so he makes it in to work... :happy1:

:rotflmao: thanks buddy!! :mooning:
I actually thought about that for Thursday. If it's half as bad as they are bubblin about roads may be closed. I'll be asking tomorrow.
-
yes it's going to be interesting on how all this turns out, again... just sayin....

Yup....that 6 and a half FEET is going to be right in Glenn's front yard.
He will be making these by Friday..... :snow3: :snow3:

today's update:
https://bringmethenews.com/minnesota-weather/mega-snow-minnesotans-advised-to-prepare-homes-vehicles
-
20" seems to be the number they are using for the central part of this storm. Yuck. Stock up on everything and let it melt. :sleazy:
-
The localized forecast is indicating 10" - 18" for here. That doesn't include Thursday's accumulation, yet, as they won't predict that far out. We are closer to the southern edge of the storm so we're less apt to see what areas between TC, Hutch, Redwood Falls, Marshall, Mankato & Faribault will based on their most recent probabilities.
-
close to Cold Spring then!!! :happy1:

There might be some angry individuals if glenn doesn't make it in to stock those feminine hygiene products... :whistling:

i just looked at the JohnDee site......he's usually pretty accurate, here in stearns county his map shows we are on a line of 12-24 inches and over!!!!!!! :doofus:

Very light snow here right now. Small flakes, almost like sugar coming down.

yikes!!!

here's the local one and it looks very close the last one I posted!!!

Pretty colors, but I doubt anybody's getting 24" of snow. Walz would shut the state down until June if that happened.

Damn windy here now, coming from Mikey's direction. :rotflmao: :rolleyes:

Probably just a big fizzle! The weather guys getting over excited to play with their equipment again! :party1: :cheerleader:

I don't doubt we get some serious snow but the media sure likes to hipe it up. How did we manage years ago without em.. Did they put a name to this storm yet?? :crazy:

Have read a few books about that era. On land and on the river. SW MN really got hit hard too. Hard to imagine.

The map on the 6:00 news here last night showed Mason City getting 8.6" by Thursday & us probably being just east enough to be more in the 3-6" area. They had Mason City with -19 WC at 5 this AM, so the front was already moving in.They're talkin a lot more about rain & freezing rain down here.
-
The latest map from the NWS. Thank god I live a mile into The People's Republic of Steele Co. The blizzard will stop at the Steele-Waseca Co. line! Roony gets all the good blizzards... :pouty:
-
I think we are going to get missed by most of this one. Honestly we could use the moisture up here for spring run off.
-
Come down with a truck and I'll load ya up!
-
Eventually we will get some... Our lakes are really low up here.
-
We've gotten over 8 inches in Bismarck already today. Started around 9 and hasn't stopped although it is very fluffy, so easy to get through. Should be fun once the wind picks up.
-
1st wave just started here about 20 minutes ago. 2 ewes lambed this morning. Looks like potential for more on the way. Coincidence? Sometimes I don't think so.
-
well cleaned up the sidewalk and driveway for now...
-
I ain't moving any till its over!
-
just started snowing here bout 10 minutes ago!!!!!!!!
-
I ain't moving any till its over!
only if i need to get something important.........like more beer!!!!!!!!!!! :happy1:
-
:rotflmao: :rotflmao: wife and I are sitting here chillin, she looks out the window and tells me she should get up and close the curtains. And say f#$&+ the world. :rotflmao: :rotflmao:
Yep she's not impressed with the snow and impending storm!! :rolleyes: :rotflmao:
-
Speaking of beer, I best bring some in from da garage. Just started here south metro bout an hour ago, thought I'd have a little fun and stuck a yard stick in. Started at the 3" mark, hopefully the squirrels will leave it alone.

2" of snow at the ranch as of 4 p.m. 2/21. Fairly dry feel to it. Should go thru the blower nice along with whatever comes along behind it.
-
Yeah, so far round one is coming down light and fluffy - should be easy to dispose of.
Don't know what to expect for round two in terms of H2O content in the snow. Late season snows can get really heavy.
-
Watching Nora :sleazy: seen Rocori is closed tomorrow, for now.
St cloud school district is closed tomorrow and Thursday. Some of the burbs of st cloud are closed tomorrow some both days... For now.
-
St. Cloud has burbs?
-
I took a snow day for Thursday....I drove it in 91, but now I'm older and not wiser. :rotflmao:
-
St. Cloud has burbs?
:rotflmao: :rotflmao: yea....sartell, sauk rapids, even i think st stephen, but its not really connected!!!!!!
-

Don't know what to expect for round two in terms of H2O content in the snow. Late season snows can get really heavy.
Since I'm sure inquiring minds want to know, the 2" of snow this afternoon here melted out to .13" of liquid equivalent precip. That translates to .065" of precip per inch of snow, more typical of a January snow than a late February to March snow, so far.

so essentially your saying there;s not a lot of moisture in that snow......correct!!!!! :happy1: :happy1:

Are you making fun of our furry little 4-legged munchkin? :rotflmao: I need to try to keep her pooping area cleaned off. We still should be keeping her incision dry if we can. That's one thing about her tail we found earlier in heavy snow. She loves snow and likes to play & burrow in it. At least you can still see her tail!
Not as much water in this snow for this time of year as what we'd typically expect. When talking to the weather gurus at the SROC over the years, .07" or less per inch of snow is normal for late December & January. We had some wetter snow in that time frame earlier so it tends to average out. .1" or more is more in line with later February thru April snowfall. Sometimes when moving that kind of snow with the tractor & bucket, it's almost blue colored. You can see it moving 8' - 10' ahead of you in a big slab.
-
Don't know how much it snowed overnight but I have some pretty good drifts in the yard this morning. Its not snowing teal hard right now but this light stuff is blowing. The warden seems to think she has to get to work today...we'll see if I can get the truck out of the yard. I'm not much for moving snow till its over.
Dotch, you always get all the "Johnny Come Lately" Blizzards!
-
kinda hard to tell how much we got here..4-5 inches at the most.....for now. clear blue skies at the moment. i'll clean off the deck and sidewalk, the rest will wait.
-
We ended up with about 4" of fluffy stuff. I haven't moved it yet. Plan on doing it today once it warms up some. Sitting right at -20 but happy to know it is a big warm up coming on Sunday.
-
It looks like we may get 6, maybe 7", now. With most of the damage coming between 1-7 pm. Up to .1" of ice to go with that too. :sad:
-
Well taking the lazy way out Sucked! Got stuck bigger than chit because I thought I could drive through this light stuff instead of getting the tractor out. WRONG! It's just too icy underneath to get much traction. There usually is a time or two every year that I wish my truck was 4wd and this was one of them.
I did get the warden to work on time though so that's the main thing.
-
yea getting stuck sucks big time!!!!!!! :confused: i'd personally never own a truck without 4 wheel drive...especially for what i do. mt first ever truck didnt have it..so i learned from that experience!!!!!
according to the NWS we should be free from more snow till about 1-2 this afternoon!!!!!
-
I know about 4wd but I got such a good buy on this 2wd I couldn't pass it up. I bought itv5vyears ago with 75k on it for $3000. It dont owe me a thing.But there are a couple times a year when I wish I had a better winter vehicle. I'm thinking about a 4wd SUV for the warden.

:happy1: :happy1: hard to pass up a deal like that Roony!!!!!1
-
Good tires and some weight in the back & that truck should go through a lot of light fluffy snow.
-
Yes dutchy but the problem is my driveway out here in God's Country is a sheet of ice. That and I got a little hung up.
-
Ice sucks for driving on. I remember dad had 2 pieces of railroad track. He would put one behind each fender in the truck and than a gunny sack of sand to keep them from moving around. He always had weight and then sand for traction if he got stuck. But that was back in the late 60's.
-
got in a bit ago from cleaning up snow.....that wind is brutal!!!!!!! :doah:
-
Gettin freexing rain here now. :doah: :sad:

Gettin freexing rain here now. :doah: :sad:

damn....supposed to hit -15 tomorrow night.....had enough of that too........anmd LPS said that stuff is over with!!!!!! :pouty: :rotflmao:
-
Same here, if it keeps it up at the present rate there won't be much of anything around here moving early tomorrow. It did look like they'd already been out treating some of the main streets when I left here ~ 8:30 though.
-

-
Sunday is the warm weather day. I did go out and plowed up our area here and looks much better. The wind is cold.
-
Only have received an inch or so so far. Still have blizzard warning out for 6 tonight till noon tomorrow. Ash Wednesday.....crappies for supper.
-
Been spoiled here. Dad had one of the first 4 wd pickups in the neighborhood back in the day. He had only 4 wd pickups after that and except for some company vehicles, so have I. The bad thing about 4 wd is when I get stuck, I usually do it right. 4 wd or not, ice is not your friend especially if you get hung up. Speaking of ice, think I'll adjust the pitch on the blower a tad. Am cleaning the snow right down to the ice presently. Like to leave enough so I don't fall on my butt carrying water buckets.
Starting to get our money's worth now. The wind has picked up, it's snowing hard and visibility's down to 1/4 mile. Expecting another 6" - 7" here. Not sure how I'm gonna guesstimate today's snowfall with all the wind but we'll think of something.
-
dotch do what the weather terrorists do.......just wing a number out there and call it good!!!!!!! :happy1: :rotflmao:
-
I might have to do that glenn altho I have some areas to reference that I cleaned off before we did chores this morning. Just got back in from checking the lambing barn & feeding a recently orphaned lamb. Was really nice in the lambing barn especially since there were no new ones. All the snow I cleaned out earlier has filled back in and then some. Will have to clean it out again before we can do chores tonite. Snowstorms with NE winds really raise hob not only here but in most area dooryards. Will probably have to clean it out in the morning too if this forecast is right. Debating whether or not to plug the tractor in by the house tonite. Would be easier than climbing over snowbanks to get to it by the barn. I'm getting enough exercise the way it is.
-
Good Luck Dotch, getting kind of nasty here. I get winded walking through the drifts.
-
I got the warden back home. I think I'll head for the house and have a couple with her.
-
:scratch: Seen a couple that say ~ 3" for us now. :confused:
-
You mean this one ain't goona be as bad as the Armistice Day and Halloween blizzard all rolled into one after all? :bonk:
:snow1:
-
Snow and wind seem to have picked up in intensity that last 15 minutes. :shocked:
-
Made my trip to the library and the sun is so bright I put my sunglasses on. :happy1: Some wind here, no snow, not much of anything. But.....shhhh don't tell anybody. We want everybody to think it's -40 and snowing every day. It keep the riff raff out ya know. :rotflmao:
-
Good Luck Dotch, getting kind of nasty here. I get winded walking through the drifts.

Not sure if my yardstick experiment was working so well. She's leaning a smidge but registering 4.25 since yesterday, I guess the news this morning said a little more, who knows. All I know momma gotta work out running the small chucker and shoveling, that I heard about..lol.

just seen that on 511. Seen that it's pretty ugly out by Rochester too
-
Hopefully they close roads in these parts, I just warned the neighbor you might hear a blower at 4:30 ish tomorrow am. I hate being that guy making racket early.
-
I don't know if the snow is suppose to get all the North to us in International Falls or not. Looking South / Southeast out my windows it seems to be getting darker. If it was summer I would be thinking rain.
I guess I'll be smarter when I wake up tomorrow.
-
There's a No Tow Zone over by Soiux Falls along with a couple small areas of ice covered roads in the middle of the state. Down by Waterloo/Cedar Falls is 1 & the other is over near the Nebraska border. Barely enough snow here to cover the sidewalk, last I looked. :happy1: :cool:
-
I just brought recycling out to the garage and got the junk mail :pouty: that wind is pretty stout. Ma, myself and the 2 pooches are nice and comfy inside the house rest of the night.
More curious if we will have truck delivery tomorrow. Guess I'll find out then. Just talked to my kid, they cancelled his shift for tonight!!
-
they cancelled my work shift too!!! :rotflmao:
and yes it's nasty out side!!!! not much for snowing but the wind is doing it's thing big time!!!!
-
Looks like the heaviest snow will be a couple counties north of us.
-
then on top of the weather this happened today:

I saw that on the news

now days any thing can happen at any time it seems!!!! crazy!!!! what was the guy on???
-
Getting to believe this storm has been blown out of proportion again!! :doah: especially around here. Not so much down Dotch and Roonys country. Lot of roads closed and no travel advised out that way!
-
The local stations here are all talking about another round coming ~ 3-4 AM. Might get another 1-2"here, they said. Probably not very good out in the country now, even here. Schools are going, but 2 hours late tomorrow though.
-
Channel 5 reported that Zimmerman had 13.5 inches at 5am
-
not sure how much we have gotten but the drifts really grew overnight!!!
update: just went out and looked at the driveway... 3 foot high drifts.... the NE winds really muck things up here for the drifts.. NW is bad enough.. oh well Mother nature doing her thing!!!
-
Just got done with moving snow and having a cup. I know we didn't get the worse case scenario that was broadcast but we go great plenty, some pretty impressive drifts. I'd been pecking away at it for about an hour and, lo and behold, here my cousin pulls in the driveway with his tractor and blower. All is well and they made a path on our road so the warden went in to work.
-
Blew enough out so we could do chores last nite. Some impressive drifts, 4'+ in places. Took some time & made the tractor bark grinding thru it. Other places it blew clear so measuring this stuff is a real crapshoot. Blew back in again overnite so had to blow a path again for chores this morning.There was another 3" that fell on top of what blew around when I was out checking lambs at 3:30 a.m. Storm total best rough guess ~15".

Isn't that the truth. Get everyone in a panic for nothing!!!

Feel so secure knowntjat tje national guard is on the ready!!!

I'll be anxious to see what the snowmagadon accumulation totals are from across the state.
Someone please do post up a link if you run across something.

The guard are east of Bugtussle helping Dotch with his sheep.

-
We got a good 9 with some nasty drifts. Looks like it's done for now.
-
I'd say 6 or 7 here, but as HD said the nasty drifts!!! drifts higher than the blower so had to work at them... it even packed underneath my Impala rather tight... but got it all cleaned up for this round... legs are hurting like all get out.... have to see what the next round brings us...

not sure how they could even measure it with the wind????????/ :scratch: :scratch:

:scratch: Me neither, but mikey's map has 19-20" reported for Apple Valley & almost 17" for Burnsville. A few higher & lower but it's mostly 13-15" in the SW metro too. I don't see any #'s for CS, glenn, but the nearest totals SE of you are ~13". Closer to 10-11" at St. Cloud though.
-
My sister near Minnetonka had about 6 the first day and cleaned it up and another 12 fell overnight into this morning. That is their estimates.
-
The guard are east of Bugtussle helping Dotch with his sheep.
Final storm total tally at the ranch was 16". Owatonna NWS gauge at the airport recorded 19". Yup, those 19 year cooks are multi-talented. Timmy was here pitching in too, cleaning up the afterbirth while Gwen made sammiches. One Minnesota! :cool:

:scratch: WCCO makes it look like it won't get this far north but the 24/7 weather channel out of Bemidji says ~ 2". The Duluth channel said early today, more like 2.5" for us. Guess, we'll find out soon enough. :confused: TWC's site is currently sayin 4-6" for central & west central Mn. North of a line from Montevideo & the south metro. That's OK with me if you guys get it all. :sleazy: :evil: ;) :rolleyes: :laugh: :laugh:
-
well my guess is we got about 5 inches of snow and it's wet stuff too.. have some drifting too... must have had some mist in it too as my north windows have frozen moisture on them... wait awhile and then get the snow blower going... no rush..
-
Can always finish it tomorrow. :sleazy:

darn snow is still coming down!!! guess I'll wait until after lunch to clean it up...
-
welp got the majority of the snow cleaned up... some more drifting from the NE winds again.. wetter than last time too.. wind is still moving snow around... oh well... hopefully done with this round!!! :rotflmao:
-
cleaned up too!!!!!! snow was wet. the deck was slippery as all get out. i'll clean up moms mess tomorrow.
-
Its gettin' real close to that time of year when I just say "Eff-It" and wait for it to melt instead of knockin' myself out with all the heavy, wet snow. :surrender:
-
They're talking around 40 here all weekend & we had < 1" so I wasn't going to mess with it either. Brother went out with the wheeler though & there wasn't even enough for the blade to push. :cool:
-
the winds drifted in some spots but I'm with Steve-o on this one. let it go...
-
Had it blowing some off the SW corner of the cabin yday here too.
-
Melted more snow here yesterday. Our after blizzard snow depth is down to about 6" following the rain and warmer temps. Would be nice if we could skate for the month & not get another snowfall. As recorded at the SROC, the Dec. - Feb. meteorological winter period there was the wettest on record at 6.97" of liquid equivalent precipitation.

-
Really?!? I know we had a lot of snow, but I didn't think it was the most precip ever. Where is SROC?
-
The SROC (Southern Research & Outlook Center) is in Waseca, right on roony's doorstep only his weather is always a little nicer. Normal at the SROC for the Dec. thru Feb. period is 3.97". One of the confounding factors about the data is that a good chunk of the precip fell as rain. A shade over 2" of that precip total was rainfall, with 1.48" of that falling in February alone. That and the snow that fell has been exceptionally wet for that period as we've mentioned before.
I know it's anecdotal evidence but I have never seen our flock here eat as much snow as they have this winter. I'd fill their water tank and frequently it would be several days before I'd notice any appreciable change in the water level. Typically I fill that water tank about every third day in the winter. I'd see them out eating the snow so wasn't concerned. That presented another issue though. Most winters, I can use their sudden increase in water consumption as an indicator the closer they get to lambing. Lots more surprises. You notice stuff like that after a while. :scratch:

Life is good. They can have all the snow. It was mid 40's this afternoon and you could almost see the snow settling. I'll take it.

:rotflmao: :rotflmao: :bonk: :bonk: just looked at the forecast from 3 sources!!!!!!! :banghead: :banghead:
Accuweather.....6 to 10 inches sunday am to monday am.
both National weather service and the weather channel 1 to 4 inches!!!!!!
Johndee hasnt updated as of yet but also saying 1-4 inches!!!

Yikes! Is that just in your area??

and then more towards the end of the week too!!!

:scratch: Been keeping a close eye on it myself as something's come up & we may be traveling on Monday. From what I've seen, the forecast for the metro south of Bobber has changed 2-3 times already on TWC's site. :confused: Been seeing mostly rain down by Dotch. Need to see what the TV guys think later today & tomorrow 1st.

Well it started here. Deck is covered already!

I think this one is small compared to the end of the weeks forecast...,.
-
:pouty: You guys get all the fun forecasts. ;) :rolleyes: :smiley: We have snow in our 10 day for Friday, Saturday, & Sunday too. But it only looks to be ~ 2" or so for all 3 days.
-
That's what I'm keeping an eye on. Could be a PITA in these parts.
-
enough in this one to get the snow blower going again... shouldn't take to long I hope...

just got done cleaning up what needed to... lots of water in this stuff as they predicted.. barely get the pavement cleaned off and the sun is really finishing up!!!! I like that!!! township will be going by soon on the road but I'm hoping I cleaned up far enough out so no ridge...
-
:doofus: :doofus: yea the #4 is already blabberin about there nexweather alert for the weekend!!!! :scratch: there saying possibly at this point..
dotch and Roony you can have it all. :sleazy: :sleazy:
-
Not likin' what I'm seein' in this last forecast. They keep increasing the snowfall amount for here. Sounding like 6" - 12" so far for Bugtussle & Mt. Pilot, the latter formerly known as Waseca. :scratch:
-
i've heard that too.....for around here.......right now there talking 4-7.
hell i remember back in the day 4-7 was nuttin burger!!!!!!! :scratch: :doah: no its a winter weather watch......ANDi'd wager it'll get change to a storm warning!!!! :bonk:
-
yea they are saying any where from 4 to 14 inches here so who knows.... it will be interesting for sure, just hoping not lots of wind!!!
-
Tomorrow I'm running into Mount Pilot to get stocked up for Snowmageddon.
-
This is sounding like a typical springtime sloppy wet kiss, on top of the mud & slop we've already got underneath. Usually doesn't go thru the blower well & moving it with the bucket is painstakingly slow when trying to avoid relandscaping the yard. I've already got big hunks of sod from Nov. & Dec. I'll have fun trying to figure out where they came from.

the other during my busy afternoon i had a brain fart to try and see how much frost was in the ground. so i dug out a spot in my garden.
i had what looked like a good inch of ice on top of the garden soil. :scratch: :doah: i said screw it, i didnt need to know that bad!!!!

Boy I guess! :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:
I thought about poking around where the snowbanks left the other day on the small garden just to check. Then it passed...🙄
Both main garden areas have been snow covered most of the winter. They're on a south facing slope. With only 8" of frost reported yesterday at the experiment station in Waseca (bare soil, flat ground), odds are there isn't much frost in our garden.

:scratch: :doah: what the hello........ :pouty: you guys skip over the part were i said my busy afternoon!!!!!!! :pouty: :bonk: :bonk:

Back to the weather...the latest I heard is the heaviest snowfall might be down Gunner's way.

My daily, TWC's site, now says 0" in the next 24 hours but has it at 4" in the next 48 for us.:scratch: However, the WSW we're under says 4-7" possible between 9 am tomorrow & 6 am Friday. :confused: The WSW does also say that locally higher amounts are likely south of I 94 with 1"/hr rates possible late this afternoon into the evening there. So, I have the big fan out & pointed towards CS. :sleazy: :evil: ;) :rolleyes: :laugh:

real light flakes coming down now!!!!!!!
-
:tut: It's a SE wind of ~ 15 mph here. :doofus: Our WSW was sayin 7-10" for us yday too. :rolleyes:
-
Backed it down substantially to 3" - 7" for here. Still 3" - 7" too much but whatever. Looks like the Clear Lake IA forecast has more snow in it just to our south. Good place for it.
-
Good morning from not so sunny International Falls. 28 degrees here with real light snow. We have maybe a inch of fresh stuff. I'm taking a trip to the metro in the morning so I'm interested in what the snow is doing down there.
Couple weeks ago I had a bird crash into a garage window and break it. Got the window fixed and picked up yesterday so maybe I'll get that installed today. Other than following the adventures of Glenn today thats about all I have to do. ;)
-
:scratch: I'm seein 3-5" for up by that big orange sign north of you, Dotch. KAAL kept saying heavier amounts near the I 35 corridor today early.

Started snowing again here. Must have a couple of inches so far. It is 42 degrees out too. Should be raining.
-
one good thing about these late winter/very early snow events..........its not getting 10-20 below 0 afterwards!! :happy1:
-
I'd rather go out when it is 0 degrees and shovel 14 inches of light fluffy snow than go out when it is 31 degrees and shovel 5 inches of wet, sloppy snow.
And the longer you let it sit on the sidewalk before you shovel it, the heavier it seems to get.
-
Been a light drizzle down here for a couple hours.
-
We must have close to 4" here and it is warm out.
-
Glad its not amounting to much here.
-
Been snowing off and on since late morning here. Warm enough so it's all melting, so far. Still sticking to their 3" - 7" forecast for tomorrow.
Update: As of 3:02 we're in a winter storm warning for Thursday. 5" - 7" expected. :doah:
-
done here now, still saying 1 to 3 tomorrow.. :scratch:
-
Meh it's going to be beautiful sunshine and 40 here!; :sleazy: :happy1:

Dotch always gets all the snowmageddln warnings.

Hafta see what da news says tonight but my Dick Tracy (cellular) is claiming 1-3 during the day tomorrow and 1-3 at night. That's ok, momma still has some fuel to burn up in da snow chuckers yet. :happy1: ;)
-
Blower is still on the 656 and so are the chains. Oil checked, fixed the throttle lever (pole barn nail), need to tighten the shear pin (SOB likes to loosen up periodically), check the 80-90W lube in the gearbox, squirt a little JB chain lube on the roller chains & I'm ready. Got a sneakin' suspicion I'll wind up using the bucket if I have to move snow. Nice to have options. Looks like this thing has an eastern bias. More snow forecast for the Rochester area, 5" - 9". Looks like the potential for an encore Sat. altho my money's on CS to take one for the team on that one. :whistling:
-
:rotflmao: :rotflmao: not if i can help it. acorrding to to the #4 we might get 2.5 inches!!!!!!!! :scratch: then maybe 2-4 on sat-sun.
-
well they are saying 2 to 4 inches today yet, but it looks like it might be more south of here... I'll know tomorrow I guess..
and they are still yakking 4 to 6 inches of snow Saturday...
-
Still yapping about a Winter Storm Warning with 4" - 6" for Steele & Freeborn Co. today. Also up in Lac Qui Parle & Yellow Medicine. :scratch: 2" - 4" forecast for the ranch on Saturday. Getting some kinda muted sunshine presently here after seeing graupel at choretime. Fear the deadly graupel! :shocked:
-
:scratch: Almost all the schools down here started closing around noon just about as soon as the kids got off the bus. :rolleyes: :bs: Upped ours a little, 4" in the next 48 hrs now. Got some fine stuff comin now.

Finally quit snowing here so everything is all plowed up. Good to have that done. LOL

None here yet.

been snowing off and on all day, but melting almost right away...

been snowing off and on all day, but melting almost right away...
:happy1: same here. it is accumulating on top of the other snow though!!!!!
-
Yep, same here. Looking at the monthly forecast it's looking like a gradual thaw, 40's by the end of the month. Although I could go for a few 50's sprinkled in.
-

:scratch: but arent those temps in the monthly calender just averages?????????//
-
Seeing the same thing boober. No appreciable warm up until later in the month and even then, no 50's in the forecasts I've seen until we get into April. NOAA's 30 day outlook for March called for increased odds of below normal temps and above normal precip.
Been snowing in increasing intensity as the day has worn on but they've downgraded us from a winter storm warning to a winter weather advisory. Snowfall amounts likely to be 2" - 4" rather than the 4" - 6". Tough to tell how much it's snowed as it's been melting as fast as it's fallen in the bare areas. Where there was snow before there was about another inch when Poppy was out to take a dump around 2.
-
Snow is accumulating on the deck now. Hope I can get out in the morning!! :rotflmao: :doofus:
-
starting to accumulate here too.. I figure it won't be much over all tonight...
-
Been comin down pretty good since about 4 here. Got to be close to be ~2-3 so far, but the temps are making it pretty slippery already.
-
Storm coming tomorrow night and Saturday.....8-12 inches in places.
-
Ya. they are even talking 5-8 up our way. We have been getting lucky alot and missing out on the storms. Not this time by the sounds of it. All our clean living must be wearing off LPS. ;) :rotflmao:

still talking 4 to 6 inches here too...

2" - 4" is all for here.

They're getting it over on Winnie & Cut Foot since ~ 9 too. Can't see jack there either. :rolleyes:

Been snowing here for awhile. Small flakes and pretty good wind gusts too.

Yep...the snow that didn't fall on LPS is falling here. Small flakes but pretty steady.

its simply just a lovely day out!!!!!!!!! :evil: :sleazy: :sleazy: :smoking: :rotflmao: right Roony!!!!!!!! :happy1: :happy1:

2nd that!!! snow is slowing down, but the wind is still moving it around.. can't tell how much we have gotten so far...
-
Got back from the feed run & a non-scheduled stop at FF around 1:30. Roads were crap both ways. A lot of snow blowing & sticking on the roads. Intervals of slushy patches just waiting to lull you to sleep & pull you into the ditch. Was definitely more snow yesterday in this end of the county. Started snowing a little before 2. Talking 2" - 4" of snow now.
-
just did a little cleaning, I'd say pushing 3 inches here...
-
yup all of that.....and its wet ,heavy snow!!!!!! :doah:
-
yuppers
-
4-5 inches here. Just cleaned out the driveway. Wind now going to switch to the NW on the back of the front. May get a little more wrap around snow tonight.
-
Seen our 1st flurries ~ 2:30, comin a little harder now but still pretty light. The hourly says it's done by ~ 10:30 with < 1" more. So we may have 2" total, if they're right.
-
Blowing like a mother here. :sleazy: Still smaller flakes but may be a little harder. Horizontal at times. No great accumulation but maybe 4". So enjoy this cuz hot weather is right around the corner. As we know it "is" meteorological spring already.
-
freezing mist the couple hours now!!!
-
WOWZER. went out to the garage a bit ago, it's more than a mist here and it's not freezing mist.
Hope nobody is crazy enough to be driving around in this if they don't have to!
-
Driving home from work last night was a mixed bag. Hey 14 was a breeze, mostly just wet, although there was one truck way out into the cattails east of Janesville. However, once I got on the rural roads I was asking myself where the heck did all this snow come from? The wind must have piled it up. Anyway I got home.
This coming week looks kind of cold with a lot of northwest wind.
Have a good one all.
-
well the weather man just said we might get another round of snow Thursday... :doah:
-
Plow went by about 8:30 this a.m. Roughly 1.5" of snow in the past 24 hrs. Plow went by this a.m. about 8:30 to peel off the remaining snow that drifted onto the roads before this most recent snowfall. Rain appears likely here on Thursday changing to snow Thursday nite.
-
well the weather man just said we might get another round of snow Thursday... :doah:

-
Got a text from my buddy in Brrrrmidji earlier. He figured they'd received ~10" & it was still snowing.
-
I'll say one thing, yesterday late afternoon the WC said no more snow, well that meant another 1 to 2 inches I think!!! :rotflmao: :rotflmao:
-
The snowmap shows 8.5" in Cohassett & not quite 6" ~ 1/2 way between there & DR.
-
Just got done plowing 8 inches. It's still snowing and the weather channel says supposed to not stop till 3.
-
Just got in from plowing the driveway. Best I can tell 8" to 10" would be my guess. I will say this......the weather forecaster west of me (LPS) who has predicted spring has a credibility problem with me after this weekend. :rotflmao:
-
just got done with mine again.. sure is wet too.. the drifts were sure there from the north breeze!!! yea right!!
-
LOL I am headed out to plow now.
-
9-10” here, north of Grand Rapids. Still snowing tiny flakes.
-
Finally quit snowing, and I just got done plowing for the 2nd time. This time was quicker cause it was only 4 inches.

Yea the accompanying wind is what bothers me more, not to mention the road conditions. I. Don't need to drive in that crap no more.
Besides pokegama is a big lake with a pullover and 30 mile winds.

Forecast seems to vacillate between rain & snow. One time it looks like 1/4" - 1/2" of rain Thursday changing to snow amounting to 1" - 3" Thursday nite. The next time you look it's all rain. I'm thinking female forecasters or at very least transgendered. :scratch:

Looking like 1" - 3" for here between tomorrow & tomorrow nite. The 30 - 40 mph wind gusts the following days are the concerning part. There was snow blowing & sticking on the road yesterday creating slushy spots.

according to the #4 weather guy Chris, he said its going to be a wet heavy snow and didnt think the blowing snow would be much of a factor......but what do those weather terrorists know......right Roony!!!!!! :rotflmao: :mooning: J/K!!!!!
-
When it falls it'll be wet but once it cools off as is forecast, the snow dries out & blows more easily. That's why it goes thru the snowblower better once it cools down. What fell here the other day was wet too. Was surprised how much drifting there was.

come to think of it, that snow wasnt all that hard to blow!!!!!! :scratch: hope this stuff is to before it freezes rock hard!!!!
-
Watched the neighbor pull someone out of the ditch the other morning where it had drifted across. Someone must not have been paying attention. The worst of it was the guy didn't even offer to pay him. :rolleyes:
-
yes it's the wind that is going to be bad, Dotch tell your neighbor to not help anyone any more maybe?? easier said than done I know... I mostly won't fire up the snow blower until Friday morning...
-
Should have pushed him back in the ditch.
-
The guy probably is one of those who doesn't carry cash anymore. He maybe was to embarrassed to admit it. My thinking is if you are good enough to help the guy you are good enough to do it for free. If it was a big job, like needing to go home and get the tractor that would be something different. If he just hooked a chain and pulled him out thats not a big deal.
Last 2 times I pulled somebody out I made them hook the chain to their vehicle. No way I wanted to be responsible if one of those plastic cars fell apart.
-
That could be the case DB. I've pushed and pulled different people at intersections or stuck on high banks and never asked for anything in return, they've offered but nope. I did feel bad tho, a texacan feller wanted a jump a little while back at a gas station when I had the arm sling on yet, I said sorry I can't help you.. that ain't me.
-
i've pulled people out when stuck more so up at the cabin in mud. that stuff in some places is real clay like. most offered to give me something but i declined and told them maybe some day i'll need the favor returned. i have done a few around home with the same repsonse!!!
dutchy......i too never hook the strap to the other persons car.....no blaming me for something broken!!!
-
It's 40 & sprinkling a little now & they're sayin 2-6" from 10 am Thursday-7 am Friday. A light glaze with 35 mph winds as well. :rolleyes:

They're still plugging along. Every once in a great while people will understand the threads are to make them think on their own instead of following the herd. But, I'm sure Crappie will chime in and then send a PM to get them killed.

Went out about 9 only to find a light glaze on everything, so it was walk like a penguin time. Had a little graupel ;) 'bout that time too. Came in & called the neighbor at 10. He asked about the weather, so I took a peek & it had started to snow lightly. It picked up by 10:30 & is still coming down. Now, the WWA says snow 'til 6 pm with up 4" expected.
-
I did decide to plow. Had a lot of drifting in the driveway but the wife made it out. I also plowed the feedlot and there was a lot of snow there. Thought I better get it all done in case we do get a big amount on top of what was already on the ground. Now I can feel good to just read the rest of the day.
-
Glad its raining instead of snowing.
-
Still just wet here but I noticed schools are closing just west of Mankato.

Rocori here in town closed at 1;05!

Still light drizzle here with the temp around 33. Northwest wind picking up with rain changing to sleet, with snow coming by around 4 p.m. We lost a lot of snow overnight with it staying above freezing and even more today with the rain. We do seem to have more snow yet in the vicinity of the ranch. Tomorrow and Saturday look like $hitters but it rallies some on Sunday into next week and gets us back into the 40's with some measurable precip by Wed. again. Should be warm enough to be rain. 🤞
-
snow has pretty much stopped here, but the wind is still having fun!! I don't think we got that much but the drufts sure have grown!!! so I'll be be on clean up duty again tomorrow...
I see mn 511 is very colorful to the SW corner of the state... several roads closed already...
-
It ain't doing chit here, that's ok tho. Started raining bout 9 this mornin and was a pretty good soaker. The wind picked up and temps have dropped so looking like a slip sliding away commute in the morning. One thing, when momma shoveled off the dance floor out back through out the winter she made huge piles. Being the north side i won't see grass til who knows when.
-
just came back in from round 2 of snow cleanup. mainly the burm the city left. :doah: man that was wet and heavy. had i waited till moring i would of needed my ice auger and chisel!!!! :rotflmao: :rotflmao: i just took the big stuff out.
thhe rest of the driveway......hows the old saying.........he who putt there can take it away Ith!!!!!! :happy1:

As posted in the GM thread, .11" of rain with a trace of snow was all we had here. Did some preliminary frost depth checking around the yard yesterday. Where we drive the Gator during chores and make ruts, the frost was down about 4" from the surface, about the same depth as the ruts. Imagine that! That's on sod. South of the house on a south facing slope, most places no frost at all whether it's under sod or bare soil in the garden. Where snow has sat all winter, no frost there either. No surprise but you don't know until you check. It's frozen again on top where there's no snow cover this a.m. but you can bet once it warms up again, the frost will come back out quickly especially if it rains as predicted midweek. Then I can plant radishes! :coffee:

got back from Moms cleaning up her snowy mess........hwy 23 isnt all that nice. seems like wherever the wind could blow across the road was treacherous!!!! not going anywhere today!!!!!!1 i g ot food and beer no need to!!!!!! :sleazy:

just starting to snow here, rather lightly so far any way...
-
Albert's Leaf reporting 50, Owatonna checking in at 46 and Waseca bringing up the rear at 45 presently although I'm sure it's probably 75 with wrens singing at roony's. Supposed to rain a token amount tonite and they're talking 1" - 2" of sloppy wet snow for tomorrow nite. That's OK. Our mud was starting to get firmer in spots and could use a little freshening up to even it out.
-
Still sunny as can be and 32 here.
-
Update: It is clouding up here now.
-
I see it reached a blistering 52 in Albert's Leaf on their 3:35 temperature reading. That's about where the snow line ends in MN right now.
-
I could go for some 52's, 41 here and sunny feels ok. Pretty sure there talking rain for us, but better see what Wren has to say in a bit first.. :hubba:
-
:scratch: I think we might've crawled a notch or 2 above our forecasted high (34) with all the sunshine but it has started to cloud up. Looks like they've moved up the start of the snow to ~ 6 now too. Snow yet at 6 am according to the hourly, with around 4" expected.

So the 6 o clock news had us in the 4 to 8 inch range. Looks like we may have gotten 2 inches.
-
It started here around 6:30 last night & TWC's site says it'll finally wrap up in the next hour. The snowfall total for the last 24 hours is listed as 3" but I was just out & it looks like it's closer to 5" here to me. :rolleyes:
-
looks like an inch or so here, the rain to ice has me wondering...
-
So after getting out in it this morning I would say it is closer to 4". It also started snowing again before I left for work.
-

Yeah mike, the metro was still in the upper 30's early but with your temps I'd bet it's pretty slick in your neighborhood. Be careful, if you got to go out.

I saw that too where Thursday into Friday here (except where roony lives) it's expected to get messy, with rain changing to snow, potentially with some adverse driving conditions, etc. There are several weather pundits including Sven who seem to be saying the same thing. Usually that means they're all wrong... :rotflmao:
-
:rotflmao: Yea that Roony! :rotflmao:
-
Another potential sloppy wet kiss from Mother Nature Thursday into Friday could wind up changed to snow if the system shifts south and/or it turns out colder than they're thinking right now. Got a bunch of snow in IA the past couple days I heard from my brother & some other friends.
-
been slowly downgraded here..
-
I see we will have below freezing temps at night until at least the middle of April. Some days will be in the 40's but still drop below freezing at night. That will mean a very slow melt. That may be a good thing for some areas. I am itching for open water.
-
Looking like rain Thursday nite into Friday here, 1/2" to an inch, then topped off with a dab of snow Friday nite, then struggling to get above freezing on Saturday. Sounds like the sappers are doing OK locally with this recent temperature regime. Has been about perfect for that despite the soil being sort of dry heading into winter.

I think the snowline has been moved south of JB, LPS & myself.
-
Yes it looks like it will miss us but the next Tue Wed thing looks like a direct hit so far.
-
The local stations have us right on the NW edge of the severe storms where there may be some twisters on Friday. Around 1.5" of snow predicted by Saturday. :scratch:
-
Talking 1" - 1.5" of rain between tonite & tomorrow here. Still sticking with 1" - 3" of snow & 40 mph wind gusts Friday nite. Saturday sounds blustery too, 35 mph wind gusts with a 35 degree high.
-
still yapping 4 to 8 inches of snow tomorrow and windy!!!! oh boy....
-
Getting some light rain now but it's only supposed last 'til ~ 4. It gets more serious about 11 tomight, the way it looks. Blowin pretty good, SE at 20, already though.
-
lite freezing rain here for the last 1 and 1/2 hours... next weeks forecast is really looking interesting, but subject to change of course...
-
deck is actually drying off some........but holy man is that wind howling. almost like Gunners in town!!!!! :sleazy: :evil: :happy1: :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :surrender:
-
Well, that's not very nice. I just looked at the most recent update and now we're in the blizzard warning tonite from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. 5" - 10" of snow expected. Debating whether or not to put the blower back on the tractor. Hopefully they'll see the error of their ways and downgrade it before it comes to fruition. Blower doesn't work as well on wet snow but doesn't have the potential to rip the snot out of the yard like the bucket does either. If my yard was perfect like roony's I'd use the bucket. Think I'll have a drink or several & think about it... :scratch:
-
saying only 1 to 4 inches here now... and very windy yet...
but next tuesday!!!! have to watch that one now!!! maybe 12 inches of snow!!!!

Good gawd, next week also? I've been getting alerts like crazy, 1 says 8-12 but the another said 5-10. Looks like gunner land has got some nasty stuff down yonder also..

That is unreal your weather. It is sunny and 40 here. Muddy at this time of day so not a lot I am responsible for. HH just started. I may take the dogs out for a run. We are going to get it on Tue and Wed and the last was 4-8" that I saw. I hope it freezes up first so I can plow. Stay safe down there youse guys.

Next week for here sounds like rain. That's what they were saying about this blizzard system a few days ago. Thundershower moving thru presently. After doing chores early I took the bale spear off & backed the tractor up so I can put the blower on if I need to. Hopefully that is enough to appease the weather gods for tonite.

:rotflmao: :rotflmao: this weather is insanely crazy...rain, thunder, lightning, hail, sleet...........
and like someone posted next Tuesday another round possible. :crazy:
i;m gonna watch some girlie basketball!!!!!! :sleazy: :smoking:

-
snowing pretty good here........let the dogs out and picked up my shovel on the deck the wind keeps knocking over.......its some really soggy heavy snow too!!!!1 UGH!!!! :bs: :doah:
-
Just started snowing here about 15 - 20 minutes ago. Real fine snow so far. Was just starting to freeze so dumped a hair over .60" of rain out of the gauge. We're over 1.5" for the past 24 hrs. Thank goodness that wasn't snow. It could've been 15+".
-
Well that sucked. :snow5:
-
Sure does, looks like the bird bath has around 8 or 9" on it...
-
Nuthin up here, whew!

The car said 72 when we walked out of the clinic in Marshalltown yday about noon & it got a bit warmer as we came north.
-
well I don't think we got that much snow here, still have some drifting to clean up.. service door to the garage was froze tight, had to kick a couple times to get it to open.. same with the garage door.. still no rush...
-

WHERE...Portions of central and west central Minnesota.
WHEN...From late Monday night through late Wednesday night.
-
Ouch!
-
I like a slow melt but at this rate it will be June before the ice goes out and the snow is gone in the woods. Not really sure I would want rain either.
-
Right. That is what caused all the problems last spring. Rain on top of the snow that wouldn't go away.
-
No rain, but they're talkin 6" or more with winds near 50 from noon on Tuesday-Thursday morning up by us. :rolleyes:

around here 4-6.

Can you narrow down both 6-17" and where "up North" starts & ends? ;)

Spring lake and north to IF!! :rotflmao:
-
We have been on the edge on the last couple. This time we are supposed to be in the bullseye.....1to 2 FEET.
-
Conflicting forecasts for here depending on whose forecasts one looks at. NWS is calling for .2" - .5" of rain Tues. & Wed. with 50 mph wind gusts Wed. & Wed. nite. Channel 5 this morning was saying 1" - 2" of rain for us. As long as we stay out of the snow and don't get any of the treatment that they got recently around Cedar Rapids & IA City, I'm OK with it.
-
The TV just showed 11.8 for us and Accuweather has us in the 12-18 area.

still talking 5 to 10 inches here... and very windy...

If that happens we will lose power. The stuff we got yesterday is clinging to the tree branches and that was less than 2" here.
-
Definitely appears to be going north this time. I get notifications for Flanders in Ontario. Looks like 25 cm there so ~ 10". Prolly no spring trip that direction this year. :sad:
-
They are also saying 55-60 mph winds Dutch. That's not good. I told the wife they better not make them go to work on Wed.

:scratch: TWC's site is sayin 8" in the next 48 hours up at the lake now, winds as high as 50 too. :rolleyes:

Not sure which one to believe. One says 15 and one says 3-5 now for today and 1-3 tonight.... either way not a lot to do except clean it up. Water should be running hard next week with the higher temps.

after seeing the extended forecast.........thats a big yes. but where i am located the city of Cold Spring will be toast before i get flooded!!!! but still what a cluster fart!!!!! :doah:

On the positive side around here it should bring the lake levels up closer to where they should be.

Nice to have ringside seats this time around. They keep talking about flooding on the Mississippi but it could be worse if the south central & southeastern part of the state not sent most of their snowpack downstream already. Soils going into the winter were relatively dry too so with the frost out, it can still hold some rainfall or snow melt. The Red? That's always just a flood waiting to happen.
-
snowing here for the last 45 minutes and turning white out there...

Birds are hammering the feeders so they know weather is coming.
Dotch I was talking about flooding on the Rainy river and lakes like we had last spring.

There will be a lot of melt flowing North and into Superior this spring i'm afraid.

Living near Fargo, If we get the snow as expected..... a foot or more, they are expecting a top 5 in history flood.

I'm looking at it more from a statewide perspective. I've been watching the TC TV "blowcombs" as Cannon used to call them. They care only about the Twin Cities and their vacation homes when it comes to flooding. We'll be spared as will much of southern MN for the reasons I mentioned previously. The Le Sueur, tributary to the MN River, is up locally but it goes down quickly when the snowmelt is complete, barring heavy rains. I didn't get my earlier season trip across the creek into Canada last year until after all that went down. However, in late July last year, the Big Fork River was still up substantially at Big Falls where we stop to pee at the campgrounds. The fall before the river had been just a trickle relative to what it can be. At I Falls and under the causeway, the Rainy was still very high on that trip as I recall. At any rate, like the Red which impacts agriculture more, water has to flow north where it's often still frozen to get to its destination. Sorta bassackwards when it comes to ideal for a watershed in the spring.
Just started raining here... :coffee:

The people living along the Red River and especially its tributaries coming from the east in Minnesota will have major flooding.

That's an angry looking river! Looking at next week's forecast isn't gonna help either. These parts will see 3 days in the mid 60's with mid 70's following it. Hmmm looks like the patio furniture might make its way out this weekend. :happy1:

:scratch: The rain will change to snow by early morning but < 1" expected. NW winds 15-25 today & 25-35 tomorrow, with gusts over 40. :rolleyes:
-
bout the same here Gunner...
-
NWS says 2-4 here in God's country.
-
It's always nicer at roony's than it is here... :pouty:
Supposed to be a tenth to a quarter inch of rain today. Calling for 1" - 2" tonite and 3" - 5" tomorrow here. Lessee, it goes from 90 degrees on Wed. to 29 Sunday nite. Something wrong with this picture... :scratch:
-

When I was jumping into the shower I thought the lady on the radio said 14" of snow expected. Thought I misunderstood her. NOT We are in a 12-18" of snow warning from noon tomorrow till 7 pm on Fri. Unreal! One wave hits us and then another after that so should be non stop snow for the whole event. Hope it blows to Canada.
-
Don't worry, Spring is right around the corner, right.

Sounding ugly fer youse guys up nort again. Got the word from the Canadian side that they're in a storm watch for Flanders, potentially for 15 - 25 cm, translating to 6" - 10". More rain for tonite here, possibly another half - 3/4 of an inch, then diddling around with chances of snow showers Friday & Sat. Lows in the uppers 20's & highs in the mid-40's.

snow and rain mix here...
-
Oh, that's the spring LPS keeps talking about. ;) :rotflmao: :rotflmao:
-
Snow expected here also. But NOT that much. Won't stay long.
-
Accu weather says 8-12 and the TV says 5-8 for us. I can see spring right around the corner. LOLOL
-
6 forecast here also. Starting about 1:00.
-
still saying 2 to 6 inches here yet... bring it on as roony says!!!! :rotflmao: :rotflmao:
-
just started snowing about 15 minutes ago....
-
Rain yet in st cloud.
Scratch that... Just looked outside... Big snowflakes.
-
it's all white here, roads look that way too!!!
-
just looked at mn511 and our area is rather colorful!! nasty roads....
-
Been snowing on and off here. The ground is white and that's about it so far.
-
looks like 3 plus inches so far and still snowing hard...
-
just thought of something, no big winds with this snow!!!! no drifts!!!!!! :happy1:
-
now they issue this!!! :rotflmao: :rotflmao: maybe 4 to 5 inches so far here...
Winter Weather Advisory

well as predicted the winds picked again this morning. white caps rolling across the lake again...
-
It is howling here too. I wanted to do some things outside but nixed that deal. We went to town and then grained Bucko and came back in the house.
-
It's definitely a bad hair day here. When I got to town it was 44 degrees. The windchill was 33. Time to tell Mother Nature it's May. Start acting like it. :crazy:
-
Man we have a front moving in. On radar it is a small cell coming at us. It is raining now. It just keeps growing on radar. Sounds like a war west of us. Raining now. Will hit JB too.
-
That should get the cat hiding. He doesn't like thunderstorms.

Now it looks like it will hit you head on and we will be at the edge of the bigger one. That's ok. Let the cat hide in the closet. LOL
-
Ya he is. Not sure what we are going to do. Check with the vet to see if his canines can be removed is one thought. He is such a good cat otherwise. He is a cat that likes people. Maybe just because we are tasty. :confused: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

Crazy. We are in Fargo right now.
-
Where are you staying JB??? I think the hospital there is south on exit 25. If you get a chance for a bite to eat check out Wild Bills on the north side of 94. Good food reasonable.
Can't remember the hotel name but I stayed there quite a bit. It's by a holiday station and space aliens.
-
The thunder and lightning north of us has been going on for over an hour. Constant both. Has rained nicely here on and off. Had some small hail that didn't hurt anything.
-
We are staying in Fargo by the Scheels at La Quinta. Not far from Scheels arena or the hospital.
-
I've stayed there before. Nice place. The wife gets up at 5 and it was pouring rain then. We ended up with 3/4".
-
I forgot to even look at the weather station when we got home to see what we got. The hotel seemed pretty decent.
-
A lady that works at the grocery store lives NW of Baudette and she had 2" of rain the other day. Curious what you got. I didn't want to worry you at the time but it looked like most of the fronts went right over your house.
-
I remember you saying it looked like the main cluster was heading right for us Wednesday evening. I was wondering what it would look like when we got home. Kept thinking what if a tree blew across the driveway. Luckily everything thing was fine here.
-
I swerved north of us and we only got 3/4". It was black up by you and constant thunder and lightning for a long time.
-
They had predicted rain most of the day on Fri and Sat a week ago. Now not a mention of rain for the weekend. Glad they were wrong. Will be 78 here and cloudy. Way too hot to paint. :rotflmao: :rotflmao:
-
we ended up with about 4/10 of an inch of rain... greened up so nice it's time to mow today... more nice weather coming up this week too the way it sounds.. :happy1:
looks like I'll be mowing the yard today... :confused: :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:
-
Now they are talking critical fire danger with NW winds and a high of 86 today. Mayhaps the smoke haze will keep it cooler.
-
Bluebird skies & hardly a ripple here. Same fire warning yday & today for us.
-
Lake is really calm here right now.

Raining here so just lounging the rest of the day. We have about 1/4" so far. Not too windy neither. 51 out now.
-
:confused: looks like we may be done with rain.. a d it wasn't much!! :banghead: I'll need to water yet!
-
smokey haze and warm
-
Lotsa smoke down this way too. Had about 15 raindrops hit the windshield and think it might be outta here already. :scratch:
-
There is lots of smoke. Older gal from town stopped by to visit. Smoke from Canadian wild fores so bad, she wanted to stay inside cause it was hard to breathe.
She stepped out only twice. To have a cigarette.
-
the wind has kicked up, so hopefully it will help....
-
hey......i just noticed when looking at the forecast for the coming week........NO smoke advisories!!!!!!! :happy1: :happy1:
but sounds like LPS and i might add some tonight!!!!!!1 :happy1: :rotflmao:
-
Looking forward to it. I will get a few things done around here and then open up the camper and get ready to relax. Will go get some groceries too. I found some nice big hot dogs and need some bakery buns so we can cook them over the fire.
-
Looking forward to some warmer, drier weather again. I even wore my lighter winter jacket today. It'll feel pretty good when I venture out in the wide open spaces. 15 mph wind gusting to 20 presently cools you down pretty quickly.

should keep them skeeters at bay....killed my first one yesterday!!!!!!! :shocked:
-
The black flies have been just awful here when it's calm. Enough breeze today to keep them away.
-
Yesterday when I walked out the door I had to come back in and put a long sleeve shirt on. Today I walked out the door with a long sleeve shirt on and had to come back in and put a light jacket on. I will believe it gets to 68 when I see it.
-
Winter coat feels darn good. We can smell the smoke way down here again today. :doah:
-
no smoke here but still cool, 48 now...

The lake was angry the first half of the day. Now it is like mirror out there.
-
wind has settled down here too, and a bit of direction change... but blue skies!!!! :happy1: :happy1:
-
Just got a quick 1/2" of rain with some marble size hail. The about ten minutes later round 2 with even more hail and wind this time. Up to 1.33" now.
-
dats not good!!! hope all is good for no damage.
-
jb gets all the good hail... :pouty:
-
It has been raining heavy duty her for awhile. No hail thankfully. My truck is sitting outside at the mechanics to do an oil change tomorrow. It will be rinsed nicely. We are at a solid 1.5" so far and still coming down hard. No mowing the pasture for a few days.
-
No damage here. I have not got up yet to see what the grand total is yet. See a rainbow out over the lake now.
-
Like I said on Morning thread a solid 2" here. Didn't notice any hail. Hope my truck didn't notice any neither.
-
Total of 1.68" here. We got hail in the first 2 rounds. Nothing big though. The 2nd round was quite a bit too. 3rd round was just rain. Seen some nice 🌈 over the lake between 8 and 9.
-
:pouty: :pouty: youz guyz get all the good rain. dry as a popcorn fart here!!!!!!!!!! :confused:
-
:scratch: They had 3.6" just south of Mason City this morning.
-
Saw that blob on the radar. Year after year, what do those people do around Mason City to pi$$ off the weather gods? Good grief! Very hit and miss in these parts. Some gauges up to 4" up by Janesville. Others a paltry .14" like at the ranch or nothing at all. 🤔
-
My son and I went fishing yesterday evening. We started around 5:15 and within a few minutes it was raining hard. We toughed it out and it quit raining after about 15 minutes. Everything look nice and we thought we were in for a great night of fishing. Well, that lasted about 10 minutes when a howling wind came across the lake with a whiteout rain. Huge waves were breaking over the boat and then it started hailing. Fortunately it was only pea sized but it hurt any exposed skin. Needless to say, we then got off the lake. :fish2:
-
Same here, Ruud got some of that this morning but only a few sprinkles on the windshield ~ 8:30-9 when I was out here. :confused:
-
so far around here it's only noise and a couple drops of rain... grass is burning out already...
-

Clear and sun here this evening.
-
Heard @ HH that Nora Springs got ~ 2.5" yday. We could use some rain here but not if it's 2-3"in an hour. :rolleyes: Pretty sure we made 90 yday, but the humidity wasn't real bad. :smiley:
-
We got another 1/2" last night and a front is coming from the west that is pretty dark. Should be here soon.
-
All around us last night, within a few miles. More chances the next couple days. I should leave a bunch of stuff out. That should help. :coffee:

Got just shy of a tenth last night.
-
Had dark clouds go over the house twice since yesterday afternoon, but no rain.
-
nothing here and doesn't look good for any at the moment... need a rain dance maybe... swing it Glenn!!!!
-
Got a whole hundredth at the ranch. Sidewalk was wet where it's the shade all day. Was a little band of showers that crawled up I-35 this a.m. Don't think it affected Bugtussle.
-
we got some rain over night. my pails have water in them. it wasnt much but it helps.......hopefully more to come.
-
Holy crap just looked at the radar and it's got pretty colors and shapes to the south of me. Sure hope we get some of that
-
just looked outside and it's wet!!!
-
Just came in from mowing with that mower. Was hot as heck and as soon as I got off the mower the wind dropped to nothing. The wife started a fire but we are inside. Now the wind came back up so may try a cocktail by the fire in the shade. LOL All the good things in life.
-
Started raining here about 10 minutes ago. The storm clouds skirted just west of LPS and came up to us from the SE. Wish I would have cracked the whip last weekend and made her spread some grass seed in the bare spots. 😁
-
Amazing that she didn't just do that on her own.
-
She just didn't get that far on her to do list.
-
Been watching the sky this afternoon & listening to the rumbling. Went back into town to get some groceries about 3:30. Water standing all over west of the golf course. A mile and a half away in town, nothing. Same thing at the ranch before I left. I has rained some at home since then but nothing like the standing water I saw earlier.
-
She just didn't get that far on her to do list.
just remember JB, That's all gonna come back and haunt you one day!! :rotflmao:
-
had those few minutes of lite rain, went to HH, came home to some water in the ditches and about 3/4 of an inch in the rain gauge... must have poured!!! but it's water!!!!
-
We went to Mankato for a few things. Got home to .85" in the gauge.
-
:angry2: :confused: luck suckers! :pouty:

thank you!!! :happy1: :happy1:

-
Dutch said you were going to get wailed on so keep us abreast of the situation. Abreast, I like that word.
-
NWS is saying more expected here than initially predicted, ~ 1.25" before it's over with. That would be a nice rain although roony will almost certainly get more than that... :pouty:
Could be some heavier stuff tomorrow so looking like BTT50's will be happening on Sunday whether we want it to or not. In the meantime waiting for it to cool down so I can get the fertilizer spread. Has cooled to 82 in Owatonna. Still 90 here.
-
Dotch this car thing, that at the state fairgrounds?? Seen something on the news at noon about it.
-
We have gotten a little over an inch today. Supposed to rain all day tomorrow and into Sunday. We needed it. :Clap: :Clap:
-
Dotch this car thing, that at the state fairgrounds?? Seen something on the news at noon about it.
Yupper. Reputedly the largest car show in the country. ~12,000 cars, '64 & older slated to show up at the State Fairgrounds over a three day period. :cool:
-
Looks like Owatonna and Faribault are getting rain.
Nuttin' here.
-
It always rains up there... :pouty:
-
For now everything is just north of me. Got about two tenths but I can see my garden plants are happy.
-
a few rain drops over night, nothing else so far..
-
Getting lots of noise here but nothing falling out of the sky as of yet. Most recent forecast is calling for up to an inch or better between today and tomorrow. We shall see. Right now looks like the heavier stuff is closer to the I-90 corridor.
-
Been raining here pretty much all morning. :cheerleader: :cheerleader:
-
front went by about an hour ago maybe... nothing....
-
.29" out of the 1st round at the ranch. Better than nothing... :coffee:
Looks like round 2 might be here after 3 so should haul that fertilizer spreader back to the supplier. Have enough lawn ornaments w/o that.
-
raining pretty good here right now!!!!!!!! :happy1:
-
we got a few showers this after noon... not sure how much...
-
As of 7:00 today, I had 1.02" of rain in my gauge here in SW Blue Earth County.
-
we just had a nice little downpour here!!!!!! :happy1: then the sun came out!!!!!! :rotflmao: :rotflmao: the grass even looks like it wants to turn green again!!!! :happy1:
-
well just under .6 here for the day... seems to done for now, but who knows maybe we could get another blast!!! all said better than nothing!!!
-
.52" with what fell yesterday a.m. & overnite. Added another .11" today while I was at BTT50's.
-
We wound up with 2.25 inches for the last 3 days. Nice. everything greening up again. :happy1: :happy1:
-
I dumped out .45" out of my gauge yesterday morning when I home. Could have used a bit more. :happy1:
-
We had a light mist a couple times yday but that was it. The neighbor said he had .75" in his digital gauge for the weekend but when I looked at ours yday it looked more like .85" to me. Could've dealt with another .5" no problem. :pouty: Looks like we have a decent chance for more on Wednesday & a lesser chance on Thursday PM.
-
We had 1.4 inches total. It all helps.
-
Had some thunder yday ~ 4 & it was raining a couple minutes later. Thought it had stopped but then more thunder & it really came down. Had around .3" when it was done a 1/2 hour later & most of that came in about 10 minutes.
-
I see the wildfires in Canada have now had the smoke spread to Europe setting a new record.
-
We just had 1 1/2" of rain in about an hour. Lots of pea size hail. Covered the deck. Glad it wasn't any bigger. Cooper didn't like it and climbed up in my lap.
-
saying we might get 1/4 inch of rain tonight.... sure hope so
-
Sure hope you get some Mike.
-
A few sprinkles about 4, then a nice little shower at 5 here. Probably not very measurable, but we'll take it.
-
about the same here so far Gunner, birs bath was a little low and it's not filled up too much...
-
We just had 1 1/2" of rain in about an hour. Lots of pea size hail. Covered the deck. Glad it wasn't any bigger. Cooper didn't like it and climbed up in my lap.
We were on the northern tip of the storms here. Ended up with .02" of rain is all we got.
-
We had ~.1" in the gauge early today & it was lightly raining then. That puts us close 1.25" since Friday here. :happy1: :cool:
-
We have a pretty steady rain here now.
-
Nothing here, probably will have to weed the garden. Or, maybe go fishing. :rotflmao:
-
It was raining here. Stopped now.
-
it was raining when I left for town, all said and done about 4/10ths total... appears to be about done now... better than nothing!!!! :happy1:
-
It' really got hazy here, wow. Cut the lawn a bit ago didn't seem all that bad then.
-
It's been sprinkling/raining here all morning.
-
it's hazy some here too....
-
We had a light rain here when we went to town & when we came home. We had ~.25" in our gauge. We hit a nice steady rain leaving DR & it kept that up the entire time we were in GR. I wouldn't be at all surprised if they didn't get 1" + there yday.
-
Was cutting the branches off of the boxelder that fell and it started raining. Rained pretty good for maybe 20 minutes. Had to take a break.
-
well I don't think we have a gotten 1/10 of an inch of rain so far...
-
Sprinkled just hard enough for me to quit cutting wood. Now it is coming down harder. SO just a nice light rain.
-
.2 or so here this morning.
-
It started about 11 & didn't quit 'til around 4 here. A 1/4" here, maybe.
-
well I stand corrected, we ended up with .2 better than nothing...
-
We barely got enough to get the deck wet. Went back to work on the tree that is haunting me.
-
We barely got enough to get the deck wet. Went back to work on the tree that is haunting me.
That's all we got here too.
-
A lot of nothing here where it is needed.
-
it's needed almost everywhere.... just sayin....
-
But it seems like they get it everywhere.
Weather terrorists get our hopes up with 90 percent chance...then nuttin
-
Its been miss and hit all over. We got a 1" downpour yesterday, which was only the 2nd 1" rainfall since when... early spring? :confused: Other than that, the showers we had barely got the cement wet.
-
same story here roony... ugh....
-
Barry always gets all the rain.
-
Yes he does. He needs to share. :angry: :rotflmao:
Same song different verse. Large hail, damaging winds with up to an inch of rain forecast then nothin'. It's cooled down so that could buy us some time but eventually, it's gonna need to rain. Be a long summer watering stuff if it doesn't. Amazed the garden looks as good as it does despite the lack of rain.
-
plucked some green beans, carrots, kalarabi, green and jalapeno peppers today!!!!
-
Being in the garden helps Glenn
-
Frost in western North Dakota last night. People scraping windshields west Of Minot. Frost in July?????
:thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs:
-
Back in the early 80's, was frost on July 4th on the roof a guy's car in Calvin ND where I was having a beer. It is the only month in Waseca MN where frost has never been recorded.
-
I remember as a kid I was at my Grandma and Grandpa's near Lake Benton and it snowed in June. Just looked and we are mid to low 70's till next Thursday. :happy1: :happy1:
-
it's nice to have the house all opened up with this cool weather!!!
-
Seen on the evening news it was 33 degrees last night north of Goodridge at Agassiz refuge headquarters.
-
Yeah, It doesn't seem like we get many days like this in summer to often.
-
We have a hair over half inch so far.
-
Don't rub it in.
-
yea!!! :rotflmao: :rotflmao:
-
Here I thought Barry was just whining about having to water... :pouty:
-
yup
-
Thankfully I won't have to water today. :sleazy:
-
Raining here since about 2, even has a little thunder & lightning with too.
-
We have a hair over half inch so far.
:scratch: That must have been before I stopped there. All we got this morning was .03". You lucky dog.
-
line of weather coming are way now... hope it doesn't break away before it gets here....
-
We ended up with 3/8". Right between 1/2 and 3/4 on my gauge. LOL
-
lucky dog!!! :rotflmao:

We're no longer 0-fer July. .03" so far and...

Absolute classic in so many ways! :happy1: :happy1:
-
Barry, are you sure you don't mean 5/8".
You greedy rain getter.
-
Ya, what Roony said.
-
The rain stopped just after 3:30 & then we got a little more about 5:30-6, there looked to be ~ .4" in the gauge this morning.
-
Roony you are right again! I thank you too. :happy1:
-
The rain that was supposed to flow through here seems to be going east of us. Dutch may see some of it.
-
Raining here now with lightning and thunder. SE if it amounts to anything
-
Was just going to say it looks like it is all going right over you JB. Just sprinkling here.
-
We got an inch of rain last night. Rained hard a couple of times.
-
I seen that big system on radar last night. Looks like it vanished into thin air before it got here!! :confused: :pouty:
-
just warm weather here last night..

We got a half inch. Lots of thunder and lightning.
-
Don't know how many folks here appreciate the Napoleon Dynamite reference, but I'm going to go with this for all you guys gettin' rain...

Nothing here. :pouty: :pouty:
-
Radar (not O'REILLY) looked like we were going to get some rain last night. Strong winds, too. We got nothing. A little lighting and thunder, but that was about it.
Guess we should water the gardens.
-
Looked and sounded like we were going to get some rain last nite. As if on cue, it got close and disintegrated, with decent rain falling either side of us.
-
Same here Dotch. No hail anyway is the best spin I can put on it.
-
nice light rain at the moment, hope it stays around for a while....
-
Some coming through here but south of us. Maybe Gunner or Scenic will get some of it.
-
checked the rain gauge before I went to town and we did about.2 of rain last night, as we all have said better than nothing!!!! :happy1:
-
About a third of an inch here this morning. Better than a poke in the eye
-
Tallied a total of .56" here in Bugtussle. Most rain in town since the surprise shower back on the afternoon of June 29th.
-
According to the noon weather it looks like youse guys in the middle of the state may be getting some rain later on this afternoon. My fingers are crossed for you.
-
There is a great, big comma-shaped storm east of Rochester extending over much of southern WI and down into IL. Luuuu-key.
Yes, a little up north, and everyone else gets zilch.
-
Very lucky as coverage in this part of the world has been very spotty at best since mid-May. .63" at the ranch this forenoon. It's raining in Chicago so the grain markets should tank.
-
Dotch always gets the nicest rain.

As if on cue:
Corn: December corn fell 17 3/4 cents to $4.83 3/4, ending near the session low. Corn futures succumbed to pressure amid an overall more bearish than expected tone in USDA’s supply and demand updates.
Soybeans: November soybeans fell 32 1/2 cents to $13.27 3/4 and near the session low. August soybean meal lost $5.30 to $410.90 and near the session low. August bean oil closed down 29 points at 64.34 cents, near mid-range and saw profit taking after hitting a seven-month high Monday. The soybean complex futures saw selling pressure today as weather in the Corn Belt has turned wetter.
Wheat: September SRW futures led the wheat complex lower, falling 27 3/4 cents to $6.32 3/4. September HRW futures fell 14 cents on the session before settling at $8.03. September spring wheat futures fell 8 1/2 cents to $8.59 1/2. Wheat bulls lost their footing as USDA came in with higher production estimates than the market anticipated.
Cotton: December cotton fell 47 points to 81.65 cents and near the session low. Prices hit a six-week high early on today. The cotton market fell victim to solid losses in the corn, soybean and wheat futures markets today.
Cattle: Broad ag market selling sank the livestock markets Wednesday. August live cattle futures fell $1.95 to $176.875, while August feeders dipped 57.5 cents to $246.575. Live and feeder cattle fundamentals remain supportive, which likely accounted for today’s early push to fresh short-term highs across the livestock complex.
Hogs: August lean hog futures led the complex lower, falling $2.225 to end the day at $95.35. Nearby July futures saw a mild loss of 10 cents before settling at $101.175. Lean hog futures gave up most of yesterday’s gains as prices were unable to take out last week’s high and selling spilled over from volatile grain markets following today’s USDA Supply and Demand report.

nothing here.... partly cloudy skies...
-
Albert Leaf seems to really get ALL the rain.
-
talking chance of thunderstorms of the scattered nature tonight!!!!!!!! :pouty: yea i'll believe it when its actually thundering..... :surrender:
-
I picked up a variety of fertilizer 3 weeks ago, still not a chance to drop any in these parts. The dock lakeside is getting close to 3' off the water, Remi even at 9 gets some serious air before he hits. He doesn't mind..
-
At campground and we have one small cell going by to the south of us and one coming in from the northwest. Might get clipped by the one to the north.
-
Getting a bit closer.

Two showers came through here bringing a total of a quarter inch. I heard it rained a lot more a few miles south of me.
-
:pouty: The radar looked kind of nasty about 7:30-8 last night but all we got was a little thunder out of it. :doah: It looked like the north end of the lake might've gotten a little wet though. :scratch:
-
We got thunder and 1/4".
What do they say is ideal? 1" per week? They way things have been lately, we'll be lucky if we get another 1/4" two weeks from now. :pouty:
-
yup
-
Narrow band of hail last nite ~7 p.m. west of town. A photo of one of the unhappy corn fields. Rain was spotty again but our luck has changed at the ranch. With the .71" last nite & the .63" the nite before that's more rain than we got the entire month of June.

That looks like some serious hail went through there. I'd rather be dry i guess.

hail vs crops not good at all

https://bringmethenews.com/minnesota-weather/massive-hail-slams-belgrade-minnesota-during-thursdays-severe-storm
this is from the storms the other night!!! 3 1/2 inch hail!!!!!!!
-
just got done mowing, the winds picked up some and you could tell a front was moving in!! the haze over the lake is clearing up nicely!!! humidity has gone down for sure!!!
-
We have a half inch in the rain gauge and the driveway was real wet when we got home.
-
Of course.
-
They get all the good rain up north... :pouty:
Spoke too soon about the smoke on the Good Morning thread. Most of the afternoon it looked about like the smoldering trash fires they used to have at the Spring Valley dump when I was a kid. When the wind was out of the SW it blew across our farmstead frequently.
-
Windy here and sprinkling. Almost had to turn the wipers on when I went and did recycling this morning. 59 degrees out. A cool morning.
-
Just read todays forecast. The air is going to be poor as far as smoke etc is concerned. I seem to have to clear my throat more often lately and maybe that is why. ???
-
We had one of the dogs at the vet yesterday. My wife asked about excessive panting. The vet said that there’s been an uptick in people asking about that whenever there’s been a smoke alert.
-
was looking at the radar, there was a small rain shower by us... it's here!!! 1st rain in awhile...
-
all done
-
Just went and got the steel and windows etc for the barn in the Falls. On the way home we got hit with hail so I slowed down to almost stopping. It was hitting so hard that we couldn't talk cuz it was so loud. We got just shy of an inch in the rain gauge. Looks like we may get another shot in awhile. Thankfully it didn't dent the tough Ram as far as I can tell. Was just waiting for the windshield to break. That would be disastrous.
-
Small hail and some rain just moved through here, 20 miles north of Grand Rapids. Looks like we’re on the southern edge of that cell. According to radar, we get another chance around 8:00.
-
Barry always gets all the hail.

Is that your cabin FW or where you live. None of my business but just curious. You are near Glenn and Gunner.

Some small, nickel/dime sized hail, here ~ 3:30. Close to another 1/4" then, more ~ 6, & more on it's way. :happy1: :cool:
-
While at work it stormed here at home this afternoon. Ended up with 1.64" of rain.
-
Nuttin
-
Just a shade over 1" in our gauge this morning. :happy1: The video of the tennis ball sized hail in Itasca County yday was shot on Little Jessie Lake, which is just 9 miles east of us. :crazy:
-
Just a shade under 1" for us. Power was off 'til 4AM. Lots of limbs down in the neighborhood - more than the areas just a half mile or so away. We must have gotten blasted by powerful blast of straight line wind.
-
ouch!! not good
-
Not good at all Steve. None of our garden stuff looked like it got pelted at all. Was just in the grocery store and the guy there lives right in town and he said 2 waves of hail came through town. One was hail he said nickel to quarter size for a couple of minutes. Completely leveled his garden stuff. We were lucky too it sounds.
-
Could have been a lot worse. We are good, but there are some neighbors still without power.
-
Ouch.
-
What area is that SO.
-
NE metro, White Bear Lake.

Roony, you probably crossed across the property that my brother and his wife have now. They bought it in 2019 or 2020.

I'm guessing I was there in 2014 or 15.

Me neither, but I was able to view it up at the lake but now that I'm back home................no go. :doah:

We noticed that the video was on The Weather Channel app yesterday.

Thanks mike, but I couldn't get that link to work for me yday & it didn't work when I tried to post it before we left the lake, either. That's why I posted the 1 from FB, because it did work.

Had some rain and wind about 2:30 this afternoon. We went up to the Timber Wolf for dinner about 5:00. Lots of signs of hail along Highway 38 with leaves snd small branches down all along the road. Took the backroads on the way home and several smaller trees down and piles of hail along the sides of the road.
-
Ya, that storm just caught us a little bit. The really bad stuff stayed to the east of us thankfully.

how was the timberwolf, fishwidow????????/

It is not as good as it was in the past. We’ve probably been there three times since the ownership change, hoping that it would improve, but I think we’ll avoid it for a long spell after yesterday. Some food was cold and the overall quality was not all that good. It was really packed with people when we got there, but the servers did pretty well on keeping up.
-
thanks, need to keep that in mind. i guess i would give them 1 shot!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Got some thunder and rain here!! :bow: :clap: :clap:
Update... It's friggin pouring. Some hail not much though. Yet

Gonna be hot here too

The weather terrorists are saying there's a good chance of rain here tonight. I hope for the best but I'm skeptical. They've gotten my hopes up several times and we get nuttin.

We have rain and some thunder coming in from Canada. No mowing today.

boober texted Mike and i this morning said he heard trees and boat lifts are tipped in the new london area, where the campground is located!
-
My whining helped a little. We got a solid half inch this morning. Helps.
Thanks weatherman!

Man is it getting ugly outside. :confused: :puke: :surrender:

got home from Alex at 1030, ugly here too... drink lots of water days!!!! :happy1:

One of those sticky, icky days of summer. Heat index of 97 so fat man warnings are out. I need to go fish 4 sticky traps out of a corn field and install 4 fresh ones. Not looking forward to it. Fortunately they're in the field around my house so I can chill afterwards before I do the chores. Then it'll be time to chill in the AC for good. .32" at the ranch & .37" in Bugtussle. When I looked at the forecast yesterday morning, it said 1" - 2" expected for here. By evening, it was adjusted downward to .25" - .5". There was heavier rain between here & the Twin Chitties up to 2". :pouty:
-
Just got finished picking up the windfall apples. Yes, I'd say it's a bit toasty out there.

Spent much of my day in cornfields. Pollination looked great. Just a matter if how much ear length we can keep if it doesn't rain soon. System tonite appears like it'll blow by us quickly as it's cooling down so another dry cleaning. About 74 inside & outside. Sitting outside in the breeze.

i was talking to my daughter last week, a gal she works with lives up in the holdingford area. she says there's rumors floating around with Ins companies that they may start not covering hail damage unless you add it to your policy alot like florida does with flood Ins.
anyone else hear something like this. it wouldnt surprise me them money hungry crooks!!!!! :confused:

Yep. Peckered again. :angry:
We drove through a 5-minute gully washer right about your exit on I 35 Thursday night, Dotch. It was hard to even see the road. :crazy: Not certain of the time but we pulled out of the Kwik Trip in Faribault ~2:15.

In the Bugtussle vernacular, "peckered" means getting screwed over. No hail, no rain, no nothing last nite. It did cool down again so at least there is that.
Pollen shed was awful in the first corn field I was in yesterday. Pollen is one of the things that draws rootworm beetles into the field along with the fresh silks to feed on while they're waiting to mate. As part of a larger study, that's why we put the sticky traps out in them, to gauge the levels and species present over a one month timeframe. When the rootworm larvae hatch in late May to early June, they feed on the corn roots. If the feeding is bad enough, it affects the yield & the corn lodges, making it miserable to harvest. There are two main rootworm species we deal with here, westerns and northerns. The western larvae are more voracious feeders but can't take the extremely cold winters. With the warmer winters and ample snowfall, they seem to do just fine however. Northern larvae are less injurious but can survive the cold much better. Once the larvae complete their cycle and pupate, the adult beetles conveniently emerge around the time corn is tasseling. The male rootworm beetles of both species generally emerge before the females so initial captures are usually males. The pollen was so heavy I was caked with itchy yellow pollen after putting the 1st set of traps out. Getting it in your eyes really sucks too, reminding me why I stopped trying to wear contact lenses in the summer. Breathing and coughing up yellow gunk ain't real great either. The Reader's Digest version: Pollen is the rough equivalent of semen in mammals. Pollen grains land on the live silks and a pollen tube grows inside the silk and 2 sperm cells travel down it to fertilize the ova that develops into a kernel. A more detailed yet relatively easily understood in layman's terms explanation of pollination:
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/B9780128119716000024
So yes, after being in a pollinating corn field you are literally covered with corn spooey! :doah:

yikes!!!

Old news now, but early last Friday evening a storm blew threw. Long story short... Lightning hit the neighbor's tree behind us, knocked off a big limb, and took out the main, high voltage powerline. None of the 120v lines or cable were affected. There were heavy branches causing them to sag, but they weren't broke.
I thought we were going to be without power all weekend, but the crews came out quickly and they had the line repaired and electricity back on by 10PM. Good crew. :happy1:
-
It is here!! Raining and blowing here. Was hot as heck this morning so I put shorts and a T shirt on. By the time I got rolling it was cooling off. I just got done with the main lawn and I was cold so came in just before it started raining. Good timing. S-O, that is great. I can't say enough about how great the crew here with North Star Electric is too. They are good guys and are right on top of things. Who is your electric provider Steve? What area?
-
humid and cloudy here....
-
We had some light stuff ~ 9:30 but you could barely see it in the gauge when It finished. Started hearing thunder again around 12:30 & the rain started ~ 1. :happy1: :cool:
-
We got 1/4" of rain out of that front. Getting dark again.
-
Finally after little to no rain for months, we got 2” today, yeah! And maybe more today?
-
We got 1/4" of rain out of that front. Getting dark again.
Same here, I heard some thunder again around 5:30-6, but the radar showed that stayin over Scenic's way.

rather fast .7 here...
-
I went back to watering in the garden yesterday. The rain we had last week dried up in no time.
-
Just checked, we have a high of 86 with T storms likely this afternoon.
-
:scratch: Only a 24% chance of any precipitation about 4 & again ~ 8 or 9 according to TWC's site for us today.
-
Just got done raining here with some hail too. A quick .87" of rain.
-
We are hoping to get some this weekend.

We have an outdoor wedding to go to Saturday. It will rain there for sure. :doah:

,29" at the ranch at 7:30. I see in the MN Climatology Dept daily sampler that Dunnell, SW of Fairmont, reported 4" this a.m. As dry as it's been & as slow as it came, pretty sure it all went in the ground.
-
SW Blue Earth County, 0.9" as of 10:00 today.
-
Checked the gauge at home before I went grocery shopping ~11:30. Another .85" so 1.14" at the ranch & it's been raining steady since. Impressive total when I got to Bugtussle of 1.71" to check that gauge. Looks like more bands may be heading our way. Could've done w/o the heat last week. Some signs the crop was hurting but we can exhale for a while.
-
:confused: :doofus: :bonk: with the few dribbles here a gnats azz wouldn't get wet :pouty:
-
absolutely zero rain here... all weekend.... oh well...
-
Called the warden, she said we had 2.25" in the gauge!
-
a bit of rain here .15 was all, better than nothing..... good for you roony!!!
-
Just a shade under .4" here, in 2-3 rounds. :happy1: :cool:

-
2.3 inches total here
Maybe I always do get all the rain. :smoking:
-
We will be upper 70's for today and tomorrow and then 69 on Wed and 70 with rain for Thursday. Fall is getting near.
-
1.63" total at the ranch & 2.07" in Bugtussle, proving once again that likely as a result of climate change, roony always gets more rain than we do. I see the reading in Dunnell yesterday morning must've been in error. They changed it today from 4" to .4". Wondered about that but the system was sitting out that way not moving very fast. Amazing what a difference moving a decimal point makes. For us, more moderate temps than last week with highs in the low 80's & mid-to upper 70's later in the week. Definite inklings of fall. Slight chance of a thunderstorm here this afternoon, a modest chance of rain Wed., then another good chance again Thursday nite. Room for more.
-
We have straight down rain here now. The mowing program just went tits up for awhile.
-
Lots of thunder and was just going to mow but got a Tstorm warning on my phone. Sprinkling now. Now it is a downpour.
-
We are in a code red warning now. Heavy rain and hail at my wife's work 2 miles away. Hope it stays there. Darn it. Here is the hail. I can even here it hitting the roof.
-
Half inch of rain some pea sized hail but no damage that I can see. The garden looks fine.
-
Just got some pea and marble sized hail. Kind of shredded some things. Only worry is dents in apples. Won't check until tomorrow.
-
After watering the garden again tonight I have made an executive decision if I don't get a decent rain in the near future and for what I see on my cuke plants I'm pulling them out. I've had my fill almost of green peppers so they might get pulled to :confused: :pouty:
-
We had some thunder a little after 5, some light rain a few minutes later. Then we had some big wind & heavy rain. Thankfully, that didn't last but about 5-10 minutes & it was all done by ~5:30.

oh boy....that means more branches and twigs in the cabin yard!!!!!!!! :doah: good fire starter stuff though!!!!! :happy1:
i see the weather terrorsts have some rain possibly coming this way this afternoon. 40%. i think i'll go open my truck windowsto bump that up to like 90%. :pouty: :bow: :surrender:
-
20% chance here today. Looks like it's raining to our south in IA, mainly east of I-35 and south of US 20.
The heat & lack of rain has taken its toll on the corn crop. Looking at it yesterday, the ears have aborted kernels 1/2" - 2" from the tip depending on where you are in the field, plant population, rainfall, etc. Less damage done to the soybeans so far. A lot still flowering yet. The good news is the maturity is marching right along. Saw some kernels starting to dent in some fields so figuring about a month until maturity. Likewise with the beans where on the upper 4 nodes of the plant, they were exhibiting beans that were filling the seed cavity on the pods. That means R6 and about a month until maturity. The replant corn is scary. Much of that has just pollinated a week or so ago. That means about two months to maturity. Ditto with late and replant beans. A lot of flat pods and flowering still going on. If it decides to freeze say Sept. 12th, there will be a lot of long faces. No surprises, just a boots on the ground confirmation.
-
:scratch: :scratch: you seem to have had way more rain then us further up in rock and cow country but the sweet corn i got from the people just down the road from me looked pretty darn good.......and tasted good. unless they watered it???? not sure whereabouts there getting it from though??
it was one of those in the back of the truck, pay in a box in the window jobs!!!!!!!

Recently, we probably have received more rain. However, we were way off the pace for both June & July. Normal for June at the SROC by roony's is 5.38". In Bugtussle we got 2.19". For July normal rainfall is 4.93" with only 1.6" falling for the entire month on Bugtusslians. The double-edged sword was May when 9.21" fell here, most of that from the 5th - 14th. It messed up a lot of crop, causing uneven emergence and a lot of replanting. The positive was it fell in May and not in June. Otherwise it likely would've meant more nitrogen loss and shallower root systems on the corn in particular. Have not heard from the guy I know who works for Birdseye what sweet corn yields are doing so far. Usually that reflects on what to expect for corn yields.
The sweet corn I had here was good but the heat pushed it pretty hard. Decent flavor but for some it would've been too hard. In your area I'd suspect there'd be a fair amount of it that has some irrigation potential. For sake of consideration, if you harvest 15,000 ears per acre, that's 1250 dozen. At the going rate here of $6/dozen that's $7500/acre gross. Would certainly make it worth the water & effort.
-
The sweetcorn I've had seems to be filled out nicely. Most of this corn is from a friend's field just about 2 miles from me as the crow flies. Also had some from north of Waseca, that didn't look quite as nice.
Sorry to hear the rain was too late for a lot of the field corn.
-
After watering the garden again tonight I have made an executive decision if I don't get a decent rain in the near future and for what I see on my cuke plants I'm pulling them out. I've had my fill almost of green peppers so they might get pulled to :confused: :pouty:
I usually wait till the growing season is over. One year I got more tomatoes in October than I did before October.
But go ahead and kill em all if you want.

I will. :happy1: :rotflmao: never said anything about pulling tomatoes either. :confused: :doah:
I just cleaned garlic and onions for salsa. Dug a hole to bury the junk and tomato skins etc tomorrow.its a good 10 inches deep and the ground is powder dry.
I water in the evening, every evening. I pulled some carrots and kalahrabi to eat, doesn't even look like I watered.
-
The tomatoes were just an example. The weatherman says rain is just around the corner for you. I keep forgetting that your soil up there doesn't hang on to the moisture.

:happy1: its not sandy soil by no means......but we really havent had much rain all spring -summer. :confused:
i must have 25 5 gallon pails i set out to catch rain water when it does rain. i use that to water my cukes, peppers and tomatoes. and sometimes my wifes flowers, if i have a bunch. right now i'm down to 5 pails!!!!! that will be gone in 2 days if it doesnt rain!!!!!! the rest i use a hose!!!!!!
-
We had a quick rainfall here a little bit ago, perfect timing cuz I was gonna give the garden a bath also. You sure your not jumping the gun on yanking stuff Glenn? My peppers, cukes, beans, zookini and maters are still flowering, I won't yank anything for a spell. As much as I wanna yank the zookini I'll start putting it down at the curb with a free sign on it..lol.
-
Maybe, but I have 2 hills of cukes, one ain't looking healthy. :confused: I'm still arguing with myself over this. :doah: :rotflmao:
-
Yet another passing shower... :coffee:
-
Got a little here, not much. Haven't checked the gauge. Hope it didn't wash all the Roundup off.
-
.01" here. Are you following glenn's lead & killing off your garden? :scratch:

so...you fellers up on the border.............are you paying any attention to the weekend weather????
my single neighbor ladies kid is coming up your way to fish this weekend. said headed up tomorrow night. he told me the weather is going to suck, wind and rain. there tenting it and fishing where the river meets the lake at some campground near there!!!!!!!
his boat isnt exactly built for the big lake if its windy so theyd fish the river!!!!
-
.01" here. Are you following glenn's lead & killing off your garden? :scratch:
Although I usually follow Glenn's lead in this silly little thing we call life, NO I am not killing off our garden. I've been giving lots of cukes away. A friend in Janesville has made 19 quarts of dill pickles with some of our overflow. I got beets from someone at work so I'm going to pay her back in jalepenos. My pepper patch is doing swell so I'll be ready for Pepperpslooza! Tomatoes are putting out some tasty heirlooms.
Glenn is always in a hurry to get things planted but he just doesn't have that staying power. That's what she said.

I have been paying attention cause we have friends coming up fishing this weekend. I don't start putting any faith into the forecast until at least Thursday though.
-
Just a measly tenth of an inch here yesterday.
-
11 mph is the important number up here. If the wind is going to be stronger than 11 mph you better not be on the lake with a 16' or under boat. The river will be better but can also get pretty rough with a N or NW winds. I hope they have a great time.
-
Just a measly tenth of an inch here yesterday.
See? As a result of climate change, roony got 10 times more rain than I did... :pouty:
Looks like some rain heading down the MN River valley but as it gets closer, appears to be dissipating.
-
Was out cleaning up apples under the trees. Started sprinkling a little.
I'm on record saying "Once it starts raining again it won't want to quit". We'll see what happens.
-
Oh my..... We might even actually get some rain tonight!!! :dancinred: :dancinred: :blues brothers: :rocker; :rotflmao:
-
.7" here. Lots of booming.
-
got about .4 here!!
-
A nice rain starting a little after 5 yday & it didn't move out 'til around 3. Looks like there's ~ .6" in our gauges.
-
3/4" and still raining here. Glad the wife cut my hair yesterday so won't get my hair wet.
-
We had a few sprinkles yet around 6 this AM too.
-
not sure how much we got yet......looks like at least 1/2 maybe more. i'll look later!
good news fellers...............i wont be killing any garden stuff for a while!!!!!!! :mooning: :mooning: :happy1: :rotflmao: cept maybe some kalarabi and carrots........i'm out in the fridge for snackin!!!!!!

As posted in the Good Morning thread, .54" at the ranch & .60 in Bugtussle. I too am sleeping well knowing things are back to normal. roony is still getting more rain than we do. :coffee: The rain has definitely stopped the bleeding on the crops for the time being. It should actually help the soybeans put some bushels on if it continues to give us at or normal rainfall & temperatures for August. Soybeans have suddenly grown almost a foot this week and they're still flowering up top. Equally important, between the resulting higher humidity from rainfall & heavy dew under the soybean canopy and the large beneficial insect presence, it's keeping the soybean aphid population in check nicely. Other areas of MN have not been so lucky. Would not want to be an aphid in a corn or soybean field locally. Due to fungal disease or predatory insects, your days would be numbered.

Yeah, she'd probably think she could have her way with me.
-
Some nasty stuff just stayed to the north of us. Some reports of some really bad hail out there.
-
Kinda split in two, some went south along the border & the rest north of 14. Wind blew and that was about it. :confused:
Update: Rained hard a few minutes around 8:30. Looked like another blob grazed Waseca.
-
As I was driving to Blaine I kinda followed the storm that way. Got to Monticello and it friggin poured . I watched the radar and bided my time headed that way as that same system was headed right to the Blaine area
Guess st Paul and Minneapolis got smacked with some pretty good sized hail
-
Hail as big as 2.5" & 19,000 without power according to the Star/Trib.
-
Just texted my brother and sister that live in the cities to see if they got hammered. No response yet.
-
Walked outside this AM & found a 40' tree across our driveway, right where we HAD the new trailer parked on Wednesday. :rolleyes: Had it in the new shed instead, so I could mow today. :cool: The neighbor came over & we had 3 saws going but we still spent about 2 hours on it. Still a little clean up, for another day. The bottom 15' of the tree was dead & had ants just pouring out of it.
-
Sounds like us today gunner, although this was from a storm 2 weeks ago. That system yesterday clipped me in Lake Lillian when I got off of 7 bout 4 pm. Wasn't pretty looking but I had just hard rain for a spell. Looking in the rear view mirror she was ugly, the kid didn't want his shiny Ram scuffed so he waited til this morning to come out.
-
well that all day rain forecasted for today sure went away... saying later this afternoon we should still get some... nice day today for sure!!!
-
When I looked at the forecast this morning it said around 2 pm and a 50% chance and a 100% chance tonight
Pretty sure ole Roony will sweet talk them into it!! :happy1: :rotflmao:
-
Just kind of a dribble this a.m. then a pause. A few minutes ago, was sprinkling when helping the neighbor move a water heater. Forecast for tonite in this area is 1" - 2". roony will get 2" and we'll be lucky to get a tenth... :pouty:
-
Like I said, "Once it starts it's hard to shut it off".
-
Nice light rain here! :happy1: judging by the radar could be a good soaker!!
-
seems to be about the same here now... it took the first 15 minutes to just get the cement wet!!!! :rotflmao:
-
We got .65" overnight.
-
2.5 inches here!!! sure refilled the bird bath!!!
-
I had 1.8" here. Now I got to cut grass again. :happy1: :happy1:
-
We got .65" overnight.
Just as I thought. .20" at the ranch & .29" overnite in Bugtussle. :pouty:
-
1.4 inches here. Lawns are starting to green up again. :happy1:
-
Mike is the rain hog!

Mike is the rain hog!
it was my turn!!! :happy1:

Wow man had 2" here!! :happy1:
-
another rain hog!!! :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :happy1:

best part of this last rain it wasnt a gully washer, but i nice slow rain that soaked in!!!!!!!!!!!
windows were closed most of the day here, not all the way.......by the weekend they'll be closed tight with the AC working OT!!!!! UGH!!!!!! :bonk: :confused:
-
We got 2.9" since yesterday afternoon. Nice all night rain. Really soaked in.
-
Smoke is coming back.....unhealth for everyone outside in NW Minn and NE No. Dakota.
-
I heard it will be gone by tomorrow night, hope so...
-
happened to look to the north and noticed the darker clouds... some folks are getting rain according to the radar...
-
I imagine you and Glenn will be hogging most of it.
-
don't think so, looks to be all north of us, but who knows who will get some now days... :scratch:
-
I see NWS has dropped us from a tenth to a quarter inch for tonite from yesterday's forecast, from 60% chance with with possible severe thunderstorms w/no rainfall amount given in this morning's forecast, now down to 40% chance w/o the severe weather & still no mention of amount. I think the odds are better that glenn will go buy cottage cheese & Johnsonville brats for supper... :doah:
-
Glenn's behavior is one of the few things that is more unpredictable than the weather!
-
:rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:is not!!!!!!!1 :rotflmao:

i'm thinkin we wont be getting any?????

Looks like some stuff off to the west on the radar. Maybe glenn will buy that cottage cheese and Johnsonville brats after all... :confused:
-
we got just a few rain drops last night.. a few spots on the cement... windy smokey day today!!
-
Just 1 drop here last night.
-
OK, we're the rain hogs with .08" at the ranch & .02" in Bugtussle... :embarrassed:
-

Proof!
-
Why do we need excessive heat advisory or warning? I can pretty much figure out that 93° is hot.
Expecting 100° days next week.
-
I hear ya TT, my phone went off 3 times in the last 12hrs warning me, as we couldn't tell it was warm out...
-
made it to 88 here today, at least some wind to help but no alerts here that I heard... the clouds came in and dropped the temp some too.. tomorrow looks better...
-
Just like winter storms... Some people's kid need all the help they can get .
I got all my outside stuff done this morning. Yea I went out a couple times but pretty much stayed inside most the afternoon. Got plenty done too!! :happy1:
-
Fat Man warnings Monday thru Thursday. Thinking we're in for one of the hottest stretches we've ever been thru on Crop Tour. Hydrating as we go on our way to Columbus. Need to accustom ourselves to routinely drinking water.

was just outside too, you can feel the change coming in as the clear skies come in... yuk!!!
-
Just did some mowing. Had to wear a jacket. It is 65 and windy as heck. The ferns are changing to brown and starting to lay down. Lots of yellow leaves too. Fall is in the air, may even be here for good.

Just came in from picking cukes
I am soaked.
-
last I checked 92 feels like 103
-
Still 66 here at Federal Dam.
-
96 here now, in the shade. :happy1: :happy1:
-
The pick em up said 97 an hour ago, could be more now. Don't feel bad lps, the Texacans at work been wearing hoodies all summer.... :scratch:
-
Sure glad to be back at home. Topped out at 67 today. Breezy but a great day. LOLOL Hard to believe the difference in temps in 200 miles. Less than that as a wren flies.
-
It's still totally butt ugly outside. Went out to water what needed watering. Glad to be back in AC!! :happy1:
-
A light mist in GR & here through mid-afternoon, just enough to need the wipers. We never hit 72, either.
-
Same over here at Federal Dam.
-
a front just went right thru here, wind came hard enough the lake was full of white caps!! and did it rain hard then, still raining but way less wind... temp dropped several degrees too!! feels less humid too I think...
-
Not even .02" on the neighbor's gauge when I looked today.
-
Wound up with .04" at the ranch & .05" in Bugtussle out of that episode. Hartland had .10". I see that the Waseca Experiment Station had zero. Must be a typo. Or there was a wren blocking the top of the gauge. :coffee:

Nope its just that Dotch always gets all the rain.
-
Just checked the daily weather. Tomorrow 80's again and getting hotter till Sunday when they are forecasting 97 for here!!! Ouch.
-
seen that for here too, yuk...
-
and now the smoke is hanging low in the sky here...
-
Could smell the smoke again from time to time down here about an hour ago. :doah:
-
and now the smoke is hanging low in the sky here...
It was pretty nasty here all day yday. :pouty:
-
We had a slight haze for awhile but then it cleared up. It went south to you guys west of us and missed us.
-
it's better today, so far anyway...
-
Could still smell it last nite but as you said mike, better this a.m.
-
This incoming heat is the last thing thirsty crops need.
I guess I'm stating the obvious.
-
We had a few sprinkles ~ 4:30 here yday, some thunder too. Never enough to even settle the dust though. :pouty:
-
Had a front move through yesterday afternoon. Temp dropped about 6 degrees and got real dark but no moisture. That was the last chance till Tue.
-
Slight chances here for Tuesday-Wednesday but that's as good as it'll get for a while. Heat has pushed this corn & soybean crop hard and the upcoming encore performance will do neither of them any favors. A lot of guys are already getting antsy. Good grief. They need some livestock. That'd cool their jets in a hurry. :doah:
-
saying 48% chance here Tuesday pm... yea right

got a rain shower over night, checked the rain gauge, damp was it... oh well...
-
95 with no moisture in sight.
-
Ya but, we got a 50% chance of rain Tuesday nite here! As if... :coffee:
In the meantime, fat man warnings continue. :tut:
-
spent about an hour outside......its not all that bad, but the sun isnt out either. 84 but csn tell its a bit humid!!!!
-
Had 90 here a little after 5, only 42% RH though, that was closer to 95% 12 hours earlier.
-
very lite rain earlier, and then the breeze stopped after that... now another bit of rain... looks like it won't be much either..
-
🐖🐷 :rotflmao:
-
Looks like Mikey's rain is getting close to us. Big clouds here from the SW.
-
just dribbles here, you get all the good rain.....
-
We had another quick shower just before 11 & 1 just went through about 12:30. Might've been .1 total, but I doubt it.
-
Had a couple of on off showers here this afternoon. Really humid and 80 now.
-
Just walking out of the grocery store and the rain wailed on me. Of course Jake and Cooper had their heads out of the window of the ol Ford looking for me so they have wet heads too. LOL Great to see it raining. Hope it keeps up for awhile. Getting lots of thunder too. Jake isn't sure what to think of that.
-
lots of thunder here and even got some rain.. maybe even get some more I hope...
-
Light rain here now & it looks pretty dark off to the WSW. :happy1: :cool:
-
Just sunny & hot here... :pouty:
-
This last stretch of hot dry days has really made an impact on the crops. At least on how they look from the road. I don't think rain will impact this year's crops.
-
We got 1/2" of rain. Just had local weather warning of high winds and 5' waves on LOW tonight. Bad weather with it.
-
This last stretch of hot dry days has really made an impact on the crops. At least on how they look from the road. I don't think rain will impact this year's crops.
I was part of a U of M Extension podcast this morning with Tom Hoverstad and that's pretty much what he said. The possible exception might be some of the replant corn and soybeans. The only thing rain might do there is stop the bleeding and make it less worse as my friend liked to say. I mowed the lawn yesterday and was amazed to see the dandelions shriveling up.
-
Makes you wonder if the crops will come out early. Call me soft but I don't mind the heat at all, I work in it, cook in it, fish in it and even sit patio side in it. I just can't sit patio side in the dead of winter without my beverage freezing...
-
Bobber there are times the heat is OK with me too.. just not as much as I used too!! :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :happy1:
-
I checked our gauges about 2:30 yday & it looked like a little < .25" then.
-
maybe .3 here
-
Got the sidewalk and patio wet. Measured .01" at the ranch.
-
Nothing here.
-
.03" in Bugtussle. Seems to be the epicenter of heavy rains recently... :coffee:
-
:crazy: only in Minnesota. :confused: :crazy: Sunday up here the kid had the little AC running. Today I started e furnace :doofus:
-
Just turned ours on today too. So smoky it looks like it is gonna rain.
-
We got zilch here, the yard is so crispy looking I hate to walk in it. Sure is a nice cool breeze coming in the windows at 65°. No furnace needed, wimps... :mooning:
-
Just under .5", neighbor had .478", in the gauge today.
-
smokey here too... might have to get the jeans out again... :rotflmao: :rotflmao: but the cut offs feel good yet... :happy1:
-
Was a perfect day to be walking around in corn fields. Put the long pants on & a sweatshirt. When I got chores done I peeled the sweatshirt off. Still a little warm indoors with long pants on but I'll adjust.

-
I forgot to mention that the storms on Tuesday were pretty nasty over by Duluth. https://www.duluthnewstribune.com/weather/iron-range-wind-storm-causes-widespread-tree-damage Anywhere from 1.5"- to almost 3"(2.86) in Duluth too.
-
seen some of that on the news this morning.. nasty for sure...
-
The radar makes me think its raining down Dotch's way. Not surprised.
-
:whistling:
-
got enough rain to get the cement wet..
-
A half inch between the two downpours ~ 3:30 - 4 p.m. :embarrassed:
-
Congrats on the rain Dotch. We got nothing.
-
Been at least 3 weeks since we have had any rain here. LPS gets all the rain. :rotflmao: :rotflmao:
-
LOL I looked the other day and not much moisture in our future.
-
Right. I may have to water the grass again.
-
Nothing more measurable over nite so we'll take the half inch from yesterday. 30% chance again tonite roony so maybe it'll surprise you roony. I know the rain yesterday shocked me, so much that I took a short nap. Didn't rain long enough for a real good one.
-
It's raining. I mean water is falling from the skies. !!!! Now I hope it keeps up for awhile. Gonna be a lazy morning now. :happy1: :happy1:
-
We had a few sprinkles when I was getting ready to go down to the boat ~ 5, & then again when I came in around 7. Nothing measurable, I'm sure, but the hourly says we have a chance again after 1 'til around 5.
-
Must've caught a passing shower. There were some little blips on the radar & was wondering if they were real or not. Was another .01" in the gauge this a.m. so at least one of them must've been real. :scratch: Slight chance of rain this evening & tomorrow. Temps sure are nice. Not supposed to get out of the upper 60's tomorrow for highs.
-
got a few drops here, cement was only dotted... couldn't get it all wet at all...
-
Quite a lightning show in Princeton right now.
-
We did get a little more rain, 5, maybe 10 minutes tops, yday around 4:30.
-
A few sprinkles towards morning here but that was about it. :coffee:
-
Here it comes.....Frost advisory for northerm Minnesota tonight. Low 40's here.
:thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs:

:tut: Had 43 ~ 6:15. :moon:
-
:rotflmao: :rotflmao:
-
Strange as heck. It is 52 here and was clear as a bell earlier. Just got foggy here. Like Glenn says it's not me neither. :rotflmao: :rotflmao: We went outside and it doesn't smell like smoke.
-
:rotflmao: :rotflmao:
Saw 39 this morning at ~7. Lotsa fog but it lifted pretty fast. 37 was recorded at both Waseca and Owatonna about the same time. That means in some of the depressional areas of peat (actually muck) soils, it likely frosted some of the living vegetation if past history is any indication. No sign of frost on the rooftops or anything but it was getting close to that. Rain possible on Friday. We shall see... :coffee:
-
...aaaaannnnddd we're down to less than a tenth forecast after earlier predictions of a tenth to a quarter. SSDD.
-
Rained twice here today. Not much. Maybe by my precise gauge 1/8" at most. :sleazy:
-
Some sprinkles here around 2 & then a short shower ~ 4:30, the neighbor had .11"
-
ended up with .4 here...
-
So far we've had .37" in Bugtussle. Looking like we may see one more band before lunch then it's outta here. After looking at the radar last nite, I was sure we'd get peckered as predicted.
Was in some of the deepest peat we have in the area yesterday. No evidence of frost to be found. :coffee:
-
Made the painful journey to the rain gauge. .25" here.
-
Giod morning gentle men! Life is good. Been real busy. Trying to do nuthing. I find alot of satisfaction just being home with my wife lori. Entering a new hobby that im excitwd about. Its alot of fun. Other than yha li few gose on.
-
Checked the gauge at the ranch when letting Poppy out to poop & shuttling vehicles. .45" so far there. Might be one more little blob but that's about it.
-
Was cutting firewood for tonights fire and got rained out. Raining lightly but just enough.
-
We keep getting just enough rain to make everything wet, but nothing measurable.
-
.46" total at the ranch. Saw some lightning off to the NW after I went to bed. Looked on the radar and there were a few small cells east of St. Peter but prolly didn't get south far enough to affect roony.
-
I think when I grow up I will be a weatherman. Here is the forecast for the day. Sunny with possible rain. LOLOL Can't be wrong with that forecast.
-
cloudy here at the moment.......no rain though!!!!!!
-
cloudy here at the moment.......no rain though!!!!!!
same here, but it could be Canadian fire smoke too...
-
A light on & off mist here, since ~ 7.
-
Looked a little like rain earlier this afternoon but upon checking the radar, the only area getting rain in this end of the state was over in far SE MN. Gorgeous day to cruise in the Stude. Hate it when the women flash their boobies at me tho... :embarrassed:
-
The light mist stayed around 'til ~ noon, then we had a little 5 minute or so shower at 6.
-
weather terrorists are saying it could be an interesting afternoon??????
-
Looks like the big rain clouds will get here around 10:30. It is 64 now and that is the high for the day.
-
.22" at the ranch, .2" in Bugtussle & .4" in Hartland. Was sure a nice thundershower to listen to. Rolled over & went back to sleep. Hope it doesn't get too rough tonite. We've had enough weather drama for one year.
-
saying this afternoon late here too... at the rate it's going, yea right....
-
.6 here. Good thunder and light show.
-
Finally have light rain here.
-
:pouty: :pouty: :pouty: you guys get all the good rain!!!!!!!!! :bonk:
-
Pretty good cell coming out of the south over the top of us presently. Some sharp lightning & heavy metal thunder... :coffee:
-
65 and cloudy and windy. The tall ash trees are really losing their leaves where the wind hits them. Just to wet to go out and enjoy a fire.
-
some rain showed up here!! 1/4 to .3 so far.. hope for way more!!! lots of thunder and no lightning so far...
-
got jack sheet here so far!!!!!!!! :pouty:
-
more rain now rather heavy for a few minutes
you will get some!!
-
A buddy from Ottertail just texted me that he got 5.5 inches last night. That is sandy soil there so will suck it right up.
-
WCCO said some place got 6", some of the SW metro had 4", & 1 place near Dotch, Blooming Prairie, had nearly 3.5".
-

yea dotch and roony get all the good rain!!!!!!! :rotflmao: :doah:
-
Looks like a big front is circling around the state and is getting close to us. May be an all dayer.
-
The .98" at the ranch & .65" in Bugtussle were welcome. Another little blob ~11 this a.m. added .03" at the ranch. Should help make fall tillage a little easier.
-
finally checked the rain gauge a bit ago, over 2 1/2 inches of rain... didn't think we got much because there was no standing water....
-
I think someone came by and peed in your rain gauge. I have .40” in mine. :happy1:
-
well at least it was a clear liquid!!! :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :happy1:
getting some rain again now.....
-
Total of 1.35" here.
-
Lots of flooding in Duluth yday as they got nearly 6" of rain in about a 14-hour period. :crazy:
-
looks like about 1/4 inch of rain yesterday here...
-
Supposed to be more rain coming here this afternoon then diddling around thru tomorrow. Nothing substantial, tenth or so perhaps.
-
we finslly got a nice rain shower here....... :bow: :bow:
-
Just dumped the rain gauge. Three inches since Thursday. Hated to lose a lot of outdoor time, but we sure needed it. Read a report that said El Niño influence might make for a drier than normal and warmer than normal winter in these parts. Hope they’re right on that.

Another quarter inch here today.
-
some rain in the area today, none here...
-
Had a nice shower earlier today. Total for the weekend not quite 3/4 inch.
Better than nuttin. :happy1:
-
Had some real light mist this evening.
-
Kinda murky & misty so far today. Collected another .63" at the ranch yesterday afternoon & .13" in Bugtussle. Could see the 1st batch hit the ranch around 2 p.m. as I swung thru Owatonna. Knew somebody was getting it off that direction but wasn't sure just who. Was ~ a tenth in the gauge when I unhooked from the trailer. Then about 3 it rained hard again for a spell, pushing the total to ~.25". Between 4 & 4:30 it poured again, knocking the dish out for a while. Have had 1.86" so far since the rain started Friday at the ranch with .98" in Bugtussle during that same timeframe.
-
YEAH! Damp, cool, leaves on the ground. It is starting to feel like fall.

Still some lingering showers coming across the river from WI thru the backdoor today. .15" at the ranch & .10" in Bugtussle yesterday afternoon. Same deal. A little odd to see rain coming from the east but it happens. A warmup over the weekend into next week. No frost in sight, yet. According to some weather outlets, 1st half of October could be on the wetter side. We shall see. :coffee:
-
Have a big front with a lot of color about to hit us. You guys must have gotten it too. Huge front. Could get an inch of rain from it. Hail possible.
-
Had .4" in the gauge when I got back to the cabin from the shed today & it'd only been raining for a 1/2 hour.
-
I see that. Going to call my buddy in Bemidji & see if they got any weather up there today. :coffee:
-
just some lite rain here so far...
-
It's dark here and pouring rain. Thunder too. Windy too.
-
:scratch: There was a rather large discrepancy between our 2 gauges, so I think I might've forgot to empty 1 of 'em. :rolleyes: :bonk: Anyhow, it was ~ .8" by the time it was done.
-
There was 1.5" in mine since the last time I emptied it out.
-
We got 1/2". Nice and sunny now. Breezy.

checked the rain gauge after I got home, .85 in it.. looked like it had rained over night..
-
.70 inches here over night. Lawn is really nice and green after fertilizing a month ago.
-
greening up real good here too... mound was almost dead earlier this summer... haven't mowed it for along time so good insulation for winter now!!!!
-
It is just pouring here.
-
just looked at the radar, not much going on here... enjoy the rain LPS!!!
-
Brother is at the cabin, bet he's not enjoying the rain!! :doah: :scratch:
-
light rain just passed by here.. just enough to get things wet
-
A small shower here around 11:30, then it poured for ~ 15-20 minutes between 1:30 & 2. More off to the west now, the hourly says rain from 8:30 'til at least 3, maybe 4. We should be @ 4"+ in the last 2 weeks here by morning. :crazy:
-
Rain? I'll have to Google that to see what that is. I think I've heard the term before.

Was reading and then the sun came out so we decided to go for a walk. Radar shows nothing near us as far as rain. Cooper and Jake ran to the ol Ford and Jake was just squealing with excitement to go for a ride. LOL Just got in the truck and it started raining. Went for a ride to watch some diehards fishing and it didn't look fun with the wind and rain. Dark clouds moved in. Fed Bucko some oats and ran for the house. Now the sun is shining again. ?????
-
Got back from lunch & after a drizzly, rainy forenoon, the sun was out. Apparently some small showers still passing thru as it clouded up and rained just a few minutes ago. The temp dropped to 39 from 9-10 a.m. but has rebounded to about 50. Breezy & damp tho so it feels cold.
-
After a summer of swings and misses, be interesting to see if they actually call one of these sloppy wet kisses right. Looking at the latest 7 day predicted accumulation map, we're in the 2.5" category with areas off to our west with the potential for 3". I fully expect to see them ratchet it down based on their past performances. Farmers are getting their panties in a twist already. Some think the soil is already wet after the 2" - 3" of rain we had in September & well below normal rainfall in August. Hmmm...let's see, no mud tracking on the roads, no shoving on the head when combining beans, tillage working beautifully. Time to get your butt out of the tractor cab and actually take a look. Never seen it soil sample so nice.
-
As if on cue, the NWS Prediction Center has already backed down the rainfall amounts for here. Now the fine folks from SD are supposed to receive the heavier rain. We're looking more like an inch or so spread over a couple days time. Whoopie ding. About the only thing that'll slow down is combining the few soybean fields remaining.
-
keeps changing here too, not sure what we will get... I did mow the yard yesterday just to be ahead some what... got the peonies cut down too... the blades on the new mower needed sharpening, so no hedge trimmer was used!!! I like it!!! just suks for bike riding!!! :rotflmao: :rotflmao:
-
Raining now. This morning's version of the forecast has us in the 1.75" - 2" range for the storm total. Falling over a couple days, it wouldn't hurt a thing. Would be a plus towards recharging the soil for spring. With partly sunny & low 50's for the high, Sunday looks like a potential day for a cruise. Might want to turn the heater valve on in the Stude tho if it starts out in the upper 30's like they're talking.
-
RAIN! I was starting to think it was a four letter word that my mama would wash my mouth out for using.
-
did a run to Sauk Centre just a bit ago, still a fair amount of blue sky north of here...
-
Light rain up until noon, a little lull, then some heavier waves thru here in the past hour. .63" in Bugtussle so far. Got a call around lunchtime from the wife at the floral shop. When I let Poppy out, the wife had me cut some 4 o'clocks that were still blooming & put them in vases. Was for an arrangement of some kind she was making. Never heard of them being used in an arrangement but I don't ask questions. With the wind driven rain it was downright raw & nasty. Speaking of raw and nasty, I'm sure I will be handsomely rewarded for my efforts...:rolleyes:
-
The outer band is just now getting close. I've been watching that front inch closer on Wunderground.com | Wundermap all day.
I took a bit of time just now to run around the yard with mower bagger to suck up the leaves that were down. That will be a couple bags-worth of wet, sopping leaves I won't have to rake.
-
You are the man! :rotflmao: :rotflmao:
-
don't blame ya Steve!!! that's why I mowed Tuesday... nothing here... still hoping...
-
When I posted up "outer band getting close" yesterday, it took 2 and a half more hours before it started to sprinkle. Been raining since. Its a soaker. Glad the evergreens (and everything else) will get one, last, good drink before the frost.
-
my guess is that the rain started here well after midnight... just guessing cause when I got up about 2am I didn't hear any rain..
-
2.1" here so far. That wind sure howled last night.
-
roony always gets more rain than we do. Shouldn't have to fill the birdbath for the wrens so often now... :doah:
With the additional .16" since the gauge was checked at 8 a.m., storm total in Bugtussle now stands at 1.66". A tad more at the ranch if the radar this morning was any indication. Had 1.27" there as of 7:30 a.m. & added another .21" since then for a total of 1.48". Even saw a few nightcrawlers on the road when I came home a few minutes ago.
-
just checked the rain gauge, we got about 1.5 inches of rain... ground sure soaked it up nicely!!!
-
2.25" here. :happy1:
-

You get all of the good rain. I dumped out .60" out of rain gauge here. :happy1:
-
Had an additional .01" at the ranch this a.m. from some overnight sprinkles. Skies appear to be clearing somewhat. I feel a car cruise coming on..🚘
-
No rain here!! :sleazy: :happy1:
-
None here neither.
-
That north wind is picking up here.
-
It is sunny and a beautiful day here. I would go fishing except I just looked and there is a big front headed towards us from the Winnipeg area. Should be raining here within an hour.
-
you and yer rain... :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

Radar shows us getting rained on. I am here to tell you it is not raining. Yet.

glenn's weather terrorist buddies have been screaming about rain here all day. I'm betting the Mine Centre kiddos were out for recess just like normal today. :coffee:
-
These weather guys have really been missing it. Called for mid 50s today and it was 71. Called for 10-15 mph hour wind and it was mostly calm all day. Called for partly cloudy skies tonight and its raining.
So let me give it a shot. I'm going fishing tomorrow so here is the forecast. It will be mostly cloudy with temps 40-70 degrees. The chance of rain is probable. Winds will be 10-30 mph out of the NNW.
-
NWS: Perfect. You're hired. :rotflmao:
-
Had a fine mist here and it just turned to light rain. Good excuse for me to sit on my ass and have another cup of coffee.
-
clouds sure rolled in the last hour or so.. going to be a windy afternoon for sure...

We're lots of showers rolling across the lake but looks like they're out of here this afternoon. Hope so. We've got some screwing off to do! :rotflmao: Actually we do need to get the overhead tank in the sauna filled & fire that up so we can shower. We'll atart to get gamey pretty quick otherwise 🦨
-
I got winter weather warnings of up to 6" of wet snow Wed thru Sun in NE ND and maybe into NW MN. Hope it stays west of us.
-
Took a closer look and starting Fri our highs will be in the 30's for a week or so. Lows in the 20's. I may do a Gunner and get the boat out too. Tired of doing it when there is ice on the shorelines. Sad deal but sure is a good feeling to have it done.
-
We're getting out of here about the right time. Things start to get ugly with mentions of snow here 28th - 30th in Flanders & environs. A mention of snow in the Bugtussle forecast Saturday nite into Sunday & not much good temp-wise after that. Could be the end of a nice fall. :pouty:
-
Pulled and cleaned the rain gauge. Found a dead wren in it! I guess that's why it seemed like i always got all the rain.

Was getting grumpy after shoveling up screenings tonite, thinking I'll have unhook the automatic waterer at the pasture. It's supposed to get down into the upper teens with some light accumulations of snow. Saw the map on the news for ND so punched in the Rolla/Rocklake area where I used to live. 6"-9" of snow with lows in the single digits a couple nights. Suddenly upper teens didn't sound so bad. :scratch:
-
I heard that this morning about ND!!! ouch!!! might even touch NW Minn... too early, but halloween is close!!!!
-
Some snow in our hourly for early AM (6-7) tomorrow but that's it.
-
The only bright side of the cold weather on the way is that it should drop the water temp in my area and really fire up the fall bite. The water temp on Monday was still 53-54 deg. I’m thinking by this next Monday that’s likely to be down in the 46-47 deg. Range. That is about where the fall walleye bite really seems to kick in.
-
got about 3/10 of an inch of rain overnight.. took down the rain gauge, don't need to freeze it and have break...
-
Kinda heavy mist here now but it's not white.... yet.
-
Only .07" of rain at the ranch & .10" in Bugtussle. 1.22" & 1.3" over the past 4 days respectively. Air is heavy but the forecast is only for another tenth to a quarter inch today and perhaps tonite. Some farmers already starting to worry that they won't be able to get fall nitrogen on. Good grief! It's not even the end of October yet and with rainfall amounts like those falling over the course of several days plus dry subsoil underneath, think they need to find something else to worry about. This map? That would be something to worry about.

Just a tich over a quarter of an inch. Steady light rain. Better than snow.
-
I don't know what we got. I saw Dotch's post about pulling his gauge and I thought I better do the same before I forgot and it froze. :pouty:
-
Think that was mikey who posted about pulling his gauge. I'm in it for the long haul since the data gets reported to the MN State Climatology Office daily. The center cylinder on our gauges will get pulled prolly tomorrow nite as they'll crack if the temps fall to the levels forecast. The outer cylinder is large enough so the temp doesn't bother. However, the diameter (4") still isn't wide enough to measure snow accurately unless it's very still, the snow is heavy, and it comes straight down. That's usually a whole 'nother ballgame, more like horseshoes and hand grenades especially in the wide open spaces.
-
Well we just hit 1/2" mark from this storm coming through. Just got my coat and boots on to go make some ruts to get water to run off the gravel driveway. Here comes Jake who I was also looking for. Wet as can be. I toweled him off. The rain is getting thicker and looking like slush on the deck. It is 35 here.
-
We got a total of .97" of rain since last night. Snowing pretty good here now.
-
We got that 1/2" of rain till I took the rain gauge down. We woke up to 4-5" of snow and it is still coming down but supposed to about be over with.
-
We got about a 1/2" of rain here in Bemidji and snow has stayed just north of us. Looks like the rain is supposed to quit here pretty soon.
-
Crazy, I'm maybe 90 miles south of you guys no snow here. There saying a frozen mix.
-
38 and going to stay about there during the day. The wind sure blew the leaves down overnight.
-
A tad chilly and Windy out there this morning. Looking at the forecast it looks like our nice fall run may have come to an end.
-
Same here. Latest forecast sounds like an inch of snow tomorrow & maybe half inch Sunday. Total rainfall since Sunday nite is 1.58" at the ranch & 1.55" in Bugtussle. Has ground the remaining harvest & tillage operations to a halt. More crabby cash grain farmers who don't deal with adversity very well. Looks like we should get into a warmer stretch after the 1st week in November. Make it all better. :coffee:

Had a few flurries here this morning but they never lasted more than a couple minutes. Neighbor had 3/4" of rain in his gauge this morning though.
-
was just looking at the snow fall totals.. JB and LPS they are saying 5 inches there... but 12 to18 inches in ND!!! oh my!!!
-
What a mess that would be. Ours was bad enough. Water was really running down the driveway as it melted yesterday. Still very white here.
-
got the beer fridge in the garage shut down, couple things in the freezer were just starting to temper.. just in time!!! then got the beer in the house, had a couple cases is all but don't want to freeze them!! :happy1: :happy1:
-
Good job Mike. Gophers starting soon. Better have one. :sleazy:
-
Snowing here, kind of hard, & big flakes so the ground is turning white. Nothin on radar though.
-
:scratch: I see there's another WWA for LPS on TWC site too, 1-3", with 5" in spots.
-
tis the season!!! :rotflmao: :rotflmao:
-
i just came in from outside........damn that wind picked up. got at i wanted done outside for the day though!!!!!!!!! :happy1: :happy1:
-
Wind picked up ~ 10 here today, :snow5: really comin down now. Can't even see the bay. :rolleyes:
-
Gotta finish up a couple of things yet. I'd like to get the lawnmower and patio furniture in the shed before it snows tonight. If not, hopefully the snow will melt next week and I can get it done then.
-
:scratch: I see there's another WWA for LPS on TWC site too, 1-3", with 5" in spots.
So what is a WWA Gunner? Yes it is snowing here too. Was bigger flakes but are small flakes coming down lightly.
-
Snowing hard and horizontally here. Looks like it’s starting to stick.

-
I spent the weekend scoutin and putin ups stands, so my chores were really behind. The last couple of nights were really busy. Sucked up the leaves in the front and back yard, put the lawn mower away, got the snow blower out, cleaned out the hanging baskets and cut down the hasta, cleaned out the gutters, drained the hoses, and put a cover over the air conditioner. Phew.
-
maybe a little bit gunner............habits are hard to break........ :sleazy: :sleazy: :mooning: :rotflmao:
we may have an inch. didnt pay much attention after i went out.

:bump: This? :scratch: Not mike but.......... :nerd: ;) :rolleyes: :smiley: :smiley: Just went to show own posts, 2nd page of 'em for me.
-
ya mean this one!!! :happy1:
-
Thanks I couldn't find it. Fargo is expecting 50's in the next few days. We may get mid 50's next week too.
-
yea the 10 day forecast is interesting for sure...
-
Mid to upper 60's here Tuesday-Thursday on ours.
-
Upper 50's here Sunday and Monday. Into the low 60's for Tuesday and Wednesday. Some prime barn cleaning weather. Should clean out some of the neighbors' sinuses...💩
-
Snowing here. mostly melting.
-
Our ground is white again. Been snowing on and off all day. No amount just made everything white again. Muddy underneath it.
-
White here again also. Won't last long. Temps next week supposed to be in the 60's. :crazy: :crazy:
-
Snowing here. mostly melting.

One heckuva movie too.

The temp was up in the low 40's with the sin shining. I thought it would hit 50 easily. Well it clouded up and the temp dropped to 33 and it is snowing like crazy here. Been snowing for over an hour. The ground is still bright green.
-
Was 65 a few minutes ago with high clouds & muted sunshine. Windy, SW, with sustained winds of 35 mph, gusting to 46. Supposed to drop to 26 tonite for a low. Normal high for Nov. 16th at the SROC in Waseca, not far from roony's, is 41 and the normal low is 24.
-
I too was looking at the changing weather here... winds changed hard to the NW and the temp has been dropping here too... down into the 20's here tonight too... the leaves are sure rolling across the yard!!!
-
Yeah you can sure feel the change, winds switched and temps dropping. I still have some leaves to deal with.
-
In this wind one should take the blower after the leaves, they might collect 7 houses down...

Might just try that tonight if the wind keeps up. Won't be home till after dark so neighbors won't even know what happened. :lipsrsealed:
-
really light rain here for the last hour and half..
-
Just started sprinkling here about 15 - 20 minutes ago. Looks like it's backing around and coming at us from the SE. Odd. Should rain for an hour or so according to the radar. E wind is sure raw.
-
Sprinkling here too.
-
just had a snow squall go by here.. dusting on the ground and roads...
-
Spittin a little here when I came home too.
-
said on the news this morning that Iowa has a good chance of snow today...

:pouty: :pouty: :tut: :rotflmao: yea i've been watching closely :undecided: i'm about ready to throw in the towel on that 2nd weekend of dec.......... :confused: :thumbs: :doofus:
-
Most all of the NE corner of the state was pink when I checked about 6:30. That's about 1/2 of what it was already. There was another pretty big area down around Iowaboy over to around Cedar Rapids/Iowa City area early as well, that looks better already too. But the snow was moving that way. Seen 1 report that said some parts may get 2".
-
We have a light dusting of snow here and a few flurries coming down. Super windy today.
-
winds just started picking up here...
-
Ya I see it is real breezy here too. Glad I don't have a lot to do today outside.
-
About an inch here.
-
All grass here yet
-
About an inch here at the ranch too with .06" worth of water in it.
-
getting greener here too!! :rotflmao: :rotflmao:
-
The hummingbird feeder ropes are really swinging today. Like those old donkey tail things used to make. If it is straight out kiss your ass goodbye. Not that bad but bands of snow keep coming through. The river is getting white. 22.
-
just think what it would be if it was snowing hard now!!!
-
Same here......an inch
-
The ground is white here is all.
-
the winds settled down enough that it appears the lake is iced over... wonder how long that will last???

theres still hope i can poke some holes in some pike in 2 weeks........and i'm gonna stick the first one i see just for boober!!!! :happy1: :happy1: :rolleyes: :happy1: :rotflmao:
-
Same here mikey. Was surprised to see as much ice on St. Olaf as I did this a.m. If it gets as warm as they're saying and the wind comes up, doubt the ice will stay just yet. The ducks and geese were doing their best, same as every year, trying to keep it open by the access. I gotta look closer when I head home but it almost looked like there were some snow geese in the mix. In the quick glance I got, they didn't appear big enough to be swans. Snows aren't something we see every day down this direction.
-
Lake near town here has frozen over. 30's for highs the next 10 days. won't make a lot of ice.
-
the low temps at night will help........my confidence is growing!!!!!!!! where's the pitchfork emoji??? :azn: :rotflmao:
-
Went out and picked up dog bombs. It is really nice out. The wind has died down and is from the south. 32 and only down to 24 tonight then 38 tomorrow.
-
Of course when I went back past the lake access around noon, all the waterfowl had skedaddled. Prolly out feeding so might have to check on them tomorrow if I get a chance. The temperature has improved vastly from 0 this morning, currently 28. Still a pretty stiff south breeze but if you can get out of it, it feels downright balmy.
-
real lite snow now...
-
Just came in from graining and brushing Bucko. It is calm and very humid. A little hazy. Feels like it could snow or rain here any minute.
-
Topped out about 36 here but with the damp, south wind gusting up to 20 mph, it felt raw out in the open. Punted on the dogwood harvesting for now. Live to fight another day. Supposed to be in the mid-50's on Thursday & mid-to-upper 40's on either side of that.

About two-thirds of St. Olaf was still frozen over. You could probably harpoon on that part... :rotflmao:

Got down to the upper teens last nite so there was skim ice this a.m. over the previously open area on St. Olaf. That won't last long if the weather does what's forecast. 36 for a high on its way to the upper 40's with S-SW winds gusting to 30 mph. High of 56 w/5 - 15 mph S wind tomorrow & 49 w/10 - 15 mph S wind Friday. Lows of 29 tonite, 34 tomorrow nite and 27 Friday nite. Could open the entire lake up temporarily.
-
just started snowing here......the webcams up north show snow on the ground.
-
4 news last night said warm and dry through the end of December. Crazy!
-
Yesterday afternoon evening was like Ireland here. Was kind of nice. I sat on the deck waiting for the wife to get home. Light mist and very calm. Snowing pretty big flakes on and off here now. Still windy as all get out.
-
Only 2 days much under 40 in the next 2 weeks here, according to TWC's site. Mid to upper 40's by next weekend.

for what itrs worth those are daytime highs........it'll make ice most of the day.....how much?????????
-
Cold and snow are good. Wind is bad. If I can get a full day with a light northerly breeze, I've got a big brush pile to burn.
-
:scratch: Only 1 night around 32 in there but it looks kind of breezy (10+) everyday too. :confused:
-
still windy and lite snow, 511 is gaining more color too

-
just went over to LP. roads were ok snow covered for the most part.. snow seems to be letting up some...
-
Snow seems to have stopped here. Just windy now.
-
Temp hovering around 30. Had enough graupel to make the driveway white this forenoon & got the roads wet. Bands of snow moving thru after lunch, making the grass white in places. Looks like it's supposed to dissipate as the afternoon wears on according to futurecast radar. We shall see... :coffee:
-
Barely any snow here and I think its done.
-
seems mostly done now here too...
-
Ground is white here, maybe 1".
-
The roads are glare ice out there. Just drove down 371 to 10 from Brainerd to Sartell and there were two trucks with ice houses jackknifed in the ditches. One before Little falls and one down by Rice. Had another pickup out of Royalton all over the road zigzagging from one side to another but pulled it out! So careful if your coming or going even in the morning, winds blowing pretty good as well. Good luck. :undecided:

Not sure about what you guys are seeing but damn it's foggy here. :scratch:
-
Murky but not real dense fog here. Visibility still half to 3/4 mile. Seems like it's already starting to get dark tho, :scratch:
-
Really foggy here. Around the lake probably less than a quarter mile.
-
Heavy fog here also. Will be tough to see when it gets dark. :thumbs:
-
Kind of hazy and drizzling here.
Hi Barry!
-
Started drizzling when I burned the backyard brush pile a little bit ago. Wife said she could see the blaze a long way off. She drove from Albert's Leaf home with the wipers on. Howdy Barry!
-
Finally letting up on the drizzle here....going to mess up the ice fishing for a while.........Hi Barry!
-
Yes I am still here. :sleazy: It is 27 here and should get to about 32 with a little precip. this afternoon.
-
BUMP. :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao: It is 31 here and has been getting darker all day. It is now snowing big flakes. Some wind but no big deal. Hate to disrupt ice but nice for over the septic tank. The bird feeder is full of birds all of a sudden. ???
-
clouded up this afternoon here too... winds picking up and have a chance for snow too... afternoon Barry!!!!
-
Breezy, cooling down & can see the cloud deck coming. High of 21 forecast for tomorrow. Buenas tardes Barry!
-
wind is really cranking now... evening Barry!!!
-
It is really blowing here now too. The snow quit.
-
Lots of wind down here overnight and this morning. It is nice to see the sun though.
Have a good one Barry!
-
Same here. Gotta replenish the stick supply. 17 at choretime heading for a high in the mid-20's now they say. Bom dia Barry!

Wind switched to the south overnight and it warmed up slightly. 21 this morning. BUENOS DIAS SENOR BARRY!
-
:sleazy: Back at ya Roons. :happy1:
-
Looks like 30's and 40's the rest of the year. Not making ice. Lake close to town here is still partially open. Lots of swans and Canada Geese still here.
-
:scratch: i just got 2 new fresh ice reports yesterday. bowstring has 8 inches and a few smaller lakes in the cabin area 8-10!!

Warm and drizzly here. Nothing below freezing predicted until Tuesday night when it may get down to 28.
Hey Barry!

Wow......it's 46 degrees here right now. Ice is melting on the lake.....no one fishing.
-
39 here and that is the low for the night. A little breezy.
-
39 here too for a low... radar is showing rain coming in too...
-
Whatta weird year. No frost line and no snow. Hopefully the temp doesn't bottom out before we finally get some snow.

there was frost in the ground here but after the next few days??? I don't know..
-
Frost was pretty much out in the fields day before yesterday when I was cleaning barn. Ground had some give to it as I drove the tractor across the field. Lotsa people putting in tile yet. Still some frost on north facing slopes, north side of the grove & north side of the house. It's coming out tho and if it rains on it, betting it'll be out there too. Up to 49 here now.
No fog and the roads are great to drive on. People are driving like idiots tho as a result. Amazing there aren't more accidents. Wait till it snows again. On yesterday's trip to the Twin Chitties, tailgaters were out in force as were the folks who can't maintain a consistent speed. Try and go around the knuckleheads to pass, & they speed up. Pull back in behind them, they slow down again. Then they exit at the next Walmart or Target. Figures.
I get a kick too out of some of these jokers trying to convince people that recent brown Christmases are climate change related. Dating back to 1899, we've had a brown Christmas nearly 1/3 of the time here. I'll take this any day over the crap we were dealing with last year at this time. The high for December 24th at the SROC in Waseca was -4 and the low was -11 with 4" of snow on the ground. At the ranch there was 10" of snow and chores sucked.
-
Last year was a real beach driving to work on Christmas Eve.
-
I know last year we were burning up a lot of wood even in November. Big difference to this year. I forgot it was that cold last year. Selective memory.

I'd tried to blot last November & December out of my mind. With our capital credit refund, the electric bill for this November was only $68.

Snowing here now.....maybe next 4 hours.
-
I took advantage of the warm temps and the lack of snow cover to pick up another 30 supply of dog doodoo, which I won't have to deal with next spring.

By the looks of it we got about that so far as well. Been raining all day and still raining.
-
radar show's rain is done for now... still some coming down... wind is making noise now too...
-
It was light rain all day here. It turned to snow mix and the ground is white again.
-
well we must be over 2 inches of rain so far.... sure glad it's slow so that it soaks in vs it running off.. and then think about how much snow this could have been!!!

we watched to news at noon........the map showed cold spring had 2.1 inches at that point..........and it rained most of the afternoon. :crazy:
pretty certain thats more rain then we had all summer!!!!! :doofus:
-
just checked FM..guy was picking crawlers from his yard!!!!!!!!! :rotflmao: :crazy:
-
looks like the rain is over for now anyway...
-
Looks that way here too. Storm totals were 1.31" at the ranch and 1.51" in Bugtusle. Actually was graupeling while we were doing chores but didn't accumulate. Just kinda dreary and damp. Should've been a beneficial rain for crop production purposes. The ground was largely frost-free so it should've all soaked in.
-
Gonna be near 40 the next 4 days here. Lows in the 20's.
-
I'm thankful all that rain wasn't snow or ice.
-
#4 news at noon said cold spring had 3.17 inches of rain. :shocked:
-
That is a lot of rain.
-
Our total rain fall was at 1.77". We'll take it. Almost slipped and fell on ice on the wood deck this morning. Concrete was dry.

Been lightly raining most of the day here. Icy all over the place.

Barely enough snow to cover the ground the way it looks, so most of that should be gone later today.
-
snow covered ground this morning...

Icing out here.

⚠️ NWS has issued a graupel alert for Bugtussle & environs... :coffee:
-
Mn 511 is showing bright colors in the SE and N to NE parts of the state now... be safe!!!
-
sun is trying to poke out some here...
-
It is sunny and bright as heck here. Not going to make the 35 they mentioned. It is 26 with a pretty good south wind. We just went for a walk in the woods. Didn't last long. LOL
-
Won't make 32 here either, as it's only 27 now. :scratch: Is that bike still workin? ;) :smiley:
-
blue sky's and 28... don't think we will make 30 either...
-
Let the dogs out last night about 9 and they came in wet and were only out for a few minutes. Here it was a light rain. I see it turned to that real light fluffy snow. Maybe an inch or two of it. A wind would blow it away.
-
could be slippery then!!
-
looking at the webcams around the cabin, looks like they got some snow also. and someones fishing out by Geigers......ice gotta be decent on smaller lakes!!!!! :scratch:
-
Thick clouds here and a few flakes coming down.
-
Stuck in the winter weather doldrums. 25 at choretime heading for a high in the low 30's & I'm fine with that. :happy1:
-
went to Little Falls this morning, some mist in the air here...
-
Mebbe some snow heading this way over the weekend. Boa noite, Barry!
-
:rotflmao: :rotflmao: We had a skiff of snow during the day.
-
lite fluffy snow has been falling here for the last hour or so...
-
well just talked to Jim, my neighbor, he just got back from Alex... roads were real slick with ice... my sidewalk are slippery also... oh what fun!!!
-
Freezing mist on the way to work this morning from Cloquet to Duluth.
Supposed to turn to snow around 4, and might get 3-5" by Sunday morning total. Looking like the lower end of that for home.
Still have grass showing thru the yard, which is the first time in January here that I can remember.
Took the opportunity to head down to Hinckley last Saturday and get in an end of the year pheasant hunt with my son, which I've never done so late. Last hunt ever for my almost 12 year old yellow lab Ammo, was really nice to get him out one last time.
Drive safe if heading up 35, guessing its gonna get pretty slick up here by later afternoon.
-
So sorry to hear about your pooch. The more we love them the more it hurts when their time comes. I went to the landfill this morning and the window of the ol Ford was thick with ice. Let that thaw and on the way out and back I had freezing rain on the windshield. That was enough help clean the salt off from trucks running.
-

LPS, I didn't mean to imply that he passed!!! :rotflmao:
Just at his age, that will be the last time I take him in the field. He's got joint issues and is almost deaf, but he still had some skills last weekend!! I swear I could see the smile on his face when the first bird went down (it was a field hunt at Bear Creek outside Hinckley).
He will spend the rest of his days being spoiled by the FW and I, and chasing a few squirrels and rabbits in the backyard.

I knew exactly what you meant. :happy1: :happy1: :happy1:

well cleaned off the sidewalk and most of the drive way... it's darned slippery yet too... yup I took a header almost right away.. sore neck to prove it too.. take it easy from here on today..

Damn Mike be careful.

just went outside and checked; looks like after lunch I'll be firing up the snow blower again...
just looked at the forecast and with the 1 to 3 inches of snow tomorrow I might as well wait until after that to clean it up...
that the retired person's creed rules stepping in!!! right LPS!!!! :rotflmao: :rotflmao:
-
Darn right. I just got done plowing. Waited a day to make sure it had all fallen.
-
I'm feeling left out. Not even what I would call a dusting here in my backyard. Didn't even need to sweep the walk.

https://bringmethenews.com/minnesota-weather/storm-could-bring-up-to-11-inches-of-snow-to-southern-mn-winter-weather-advisories-issued
ok this is changing some more... we will know tomorrow afternoon...
-
Man the temp has been dropping here. It is 0 right now. Not used to this.
-
6 here
-
-2 now. Yuck.
-
But it will make some ice.
-
We're under a Winter Storm Warning from 6 tonight until 6 AM Wednesday with snowfall totals all over the place. The hourly shows snow from ~ 8 tonight until around noon tomorrow. Snowfall rates of 1-2' an hour predicted with totals anywhere from 7-10" to 8-12" in our area according to the NWS. But in another spot TWC's site is saying 4" in the next 48 hours. :confused: NW winds 20-25 all day tomorrow & there's talk of it getting icy too. :doah: I'll believe it when I see it. :rolleyes:
-
The news has called wolf so many times blowing up the weather so you watch all week to see what is going to happen to only receive 2” of snow. I don’t get excited anymore. Work commute is less than 5 miles and there is no ice to fish on. It sucks it will mess up the ice we do have. Buddy plows for the city and is looking forward to finally having some work. I am sure a lot of plow guys are and they will have it cleaned up hopefully quickly.
-
Yeah, but I believe I'm a good 3+ hours SE of you. I still don't believe it'll be as bad as the NWS makes it sound, it rarely is.
-
yup cry wolf..........
-
Snow last night but it looks like less than an inch. It was 21° when I stepped outside around 7:00 or so.
I think the media has a competition to see who can make winter weather sound like it could be the end of the human race.
NWS has to cover their butt because someone will crash or slip and then need someone to blame.
I digress. Sorry.
-
I agree, it seems like they'd rather have the public mad at 'em for forecasting the worst case scenario & have it be be better than they say than vice versa. :scratch: That way most people are over prepared & safe instead of a bunch of pile ups with a lot of people getting hurt or killed. :confused:

That's about right roony. Someone was doing the 30 - 35 mph thing ahead of me coming into town this a.m. It was slippery but not THAT slippery. NWS has issued a Winter Weather Advisory in effect here from 6 p.m. tonite thru noon tomorrow. Expected snowfall accumulations of 2" - 4". No doubt, there are some of the broadcast weather folks who must've majored in drama with a minor in meteorology. At times, the NWS has developed a CYA forecast, relying too heavily on models rather than some old fashioned common sense. I don't know how many times I've seen them poo-poo precipitation heading straight at us on the radar only to increase the %-chance accordingly once it's right on top of us. At that point, it becomes a weather report not a forecast, one any idiot can determine for themselves. Certainly not useful for those whose jobs are weather dependent.

snowing here

Sioux Falls SD has over 8 inches of snow already... Harrisburg SD, just south of there has 9 inches...

We have received about five inches so far with up to five more coming today, the dang wind is supposed to be blowing 40 per today and with where I live in a deep valley the drifts are going to be big ones!
It is not unusual for them to be over ten feet deep when the winds are out of the north, and that can happen with only four inches of snow.
The weather must have shifted overnight as my brother who lives 75 miles to my northwest was supposed to get 2 inches, they have received 8 so far.
I got everything save for a John Deere 3020 that I am bringing back to life done yesterday and I am playing it safe and staying home today.
OOOPS, I also have JRasmussens boat in the shop to work on, dont think I will be dragging it back up to his place today either.
I am still trying to think up a revenge for that bullhead comment he made a few days ago, hmmm, me have all day to think that up ! :rotflmao:
-
Less than an inch here. I dont expect much more. Suppose to blow it around later.

-
Maybe about 1" total so far. Maybe a tad more. Getting windy, though. I noticed they have updated our overnight low for Sunday night to -13°. We'll see.
You folks stay safe.
-
It varies but looks like we have gained about 7 minutes so far.
-
The latest weather I seen on the 1 of local channels had us in a narrow band of 4-6". :scratch:
-
A plow just went down our street but 511 has a No Tow Zone for more than 1/2 of the southern part of the state right now.
-
Don’t worry Iowaboy. My son has bullheads in his fish tank so you won’t get home sick when you come to visit.

looks like we got 2 or so inches of snow, I'll know more when I start the clean up..

It was done here by 9 & we just came in from cleaning it up. It was at least 4", maybe 5.
-
well I think we got more 3 inches plus here.. there was more than I guessed the first time for sure...but got it cleaned up for this round..

Looks like ~1.3" of snow at the ranch & 1.5" in Bugtussle. Only melted out to .11" in town. Didn't cut a biscuit so that measurement is a little suspect. Did at home so we'll see how that one turns out. Hwy. dept's should be happy. They managed to slather everything with a thick coating of salt. Lovely. :doah:
-
I did a good deed and cleaned off a sidewalk and driveway in Waseca. I would say a strong 1.5 inches there. At my place, about 6 miles away, less than 1". It's that good clean living I tell ya.
-
We keep getting it an half inch to inch at a time. Getting tired of shoveling it multiple times, but better than a big dump that the lakes can't handle.
-
Man we didn't get squat in the south metro, it better come soon my snow chuckers are awfully lonely..
-
I wish the weather terrorists would make up their mind!!!
[attachment deleted by admin]
-
Some measure snow like they measure Walleyes. A solid 3" somehow makes it to 7". Water content is really what matters. The dry stuff blows around, the stuff thats mostly water (like Glenns beer) kinda splats and doesn't move.
-
I agree Dutch. Same with precip in general. Once it makes the coffee shop, the first liar doesn't stand a chance.
Cut a biscuit here at the ranch after measuring 1.3" on the sidewalk, which looked fairly representative of the rest of the yard. Melted out to .13" which was right in line with the moisture content being reported elsewhere in this part of the state.
-
:scratch: The local radio station is reporting 6.5" but that's probably at the airport which is 3 miles east of me & we're on the east side of town. The guy I talked to is on a farm 8-10 miles NE of town & he said he didn't think they had that much either.
-
We didn't get much.....inch or 2.
-
Hmmm...Winter Storm Watch in effect for these parts starting tomorrow nite thru Friday evening. The 4" - 7" of snow part doesn't bother me but the 40 mph wind stuff ain't my idea of a good time. At the present time, it looks like it'll be worse to our east but the NWS adds that it could shift east or west, affecting our snowfall totals. Translation: Thinking it's probably about our turn in the barrel after being missed so far. Most likely time to hook the tractor up to the blower just in case. At least the ground is froze and should stay that way.

-
The weather terrorists have now put us in a long duration winter storm warning. Bound to happen.
-
I saw they changed our forecast. Not surprised. When they're forecasting 10 days out, they have to adjust it a few times.
We've had worse weather than this. It is January in Minnesota so we'll probably all get through it.
-
Yeah, we've had worse here too, but I'm not in Mn as I'm about 35-40 miles south of the border.
-
It has been snowing big flakes since I got up this morning. We have well over 4" so far, maybe 5.
-
Just talked to my Mom and she said they got 10" in Luverne.
-
we have had blue skies all morning into the afternoon.. some clouds to the south... sure is nice to see the sun!!
-
A Blizzard Warning was issued ~ 3 today for 3 or 4 of the counties directly west of us. :scratch:
-
All but the NE corner of the state is now under the Blizzard Warning.
-
Just a light dusting overnight here. Waseca County is still in a Warning but I noticed they changed Blue Earth county to the west of us to an advisory. Less is better in my opinion.
-
As of 8:45 Friday morning, I can still see grass in the yard. Wind is blowing the snow a bit but not much change in traffic on the state highway. Just saw a MNDoT plow heading east, no blades down. It was 5° at last check.

Looks like we added another 3.7" of snow to the .8" we had yesterday so roughly 4.5" storm total. Been in a snow squall right since I finished chores. Forecast says possibly another inch. While not as much perhaps as initially forecast, it's still enough to be a PITA. Some pesky drifts to contend with. One elm tree out here makes a squeaking noise when the wind blows. I always think to myself, who does that remind me of? :scratch:

Same here, ~5" out front where it hadn't drifted much. Kind crusty though & still had 25 mph NW wind so I took 3-4 breaks. Still was done in < 1 hour. Probably could've waited but glad we didn't. :happy1: :cool:
-
Wind is kicking up here. Coming right off the lake and it's just plain cold!!!!
-
It's not throwing in the towel yet here. Still snowing with visibility ranging from a couple hundred feet to half mile. Sheep come out & eat hay a while then back in the barn when they get full or sick of the weather. Wife was going to a State Fair meeting tomorrow. Figured I'd clean the driveway out later this afternoon but she's prolly opting out of the gathering.
-
still windy and some drifting snow too..
-
It's sure a good thing we didn't get a lot of snow. The wind is relentless.
-
I figure it blew all your snow down here. Thought I saw a wren blow by the window a little bit ago... :scratch:
Got one drift to whack out of the driveway but otherwise not too bad. Wife punted on her TC trip so no hurry. Will see how ambitious I am about sticking bales out in the lot tomorrow or if I can stretch it a few more days yet. It'll be cold anyway you slice it. If I've got the tractor running, I'll probably do it. Then it's done.
-
No travel advised here. Snow covered roads and blowing snow. :thumbs: :thumbs:
-
Ya, sounds like it is supposed to get crappy up here too.
-
just got home from the granddaughters up by holdingford. wind was whipping that snow pretty good about 3. roads where good though. not much for blowing snow on the way home and roads were still in good shape!!!!
-
Those witches boobs I mentioned a while back were just checked in at the Des Moines airport headed for Florida earlier today, the brass bra wasnt allowed on the plane as it could be considered a weapon, good grief, the other passengers have to look at those old wrinkled things for the entire flight, sheesh.
-
No Tow over ~ 90% of the state but no plows even out here. :scratch: It is -10 with a 23 mph WNW wind for a -36 WC however.
-
Our area still green according to 511ia. Good to the border going north & about 30 miles east & west. Checked a few plow cameras & they say the same. Have seen a little traffic over on the highway already too. We will be sticking close to home again today, however.
-
OK..i give..... :scratch: what do you call a No Tow??? cant pull a trailer????/
a balmy -11 here. looks like the wind is still at it!!!!!
yeppers........them warmer temps will be just in time when i head back to the cabin again. :happy1: as the roonster would say......gotta be my clean livin!!!!!! :smoking: :sleazy: :happy1:
-
I gotta know, too. No tow?
Last night was odd. From my dining room chair, I can see state highway 30. From about 4:30 till almost 5:40 last night, we saw no traffic. It was like both ends of the highway were blocked off.
Surely people weren't using logic and common sense and stay off the roads.
-
I wondered if no tow meant that if you get in trouble no tow trucks will mobilize to get you. ?????
-
They must've been driving around over here instead tt! Told the wife last nite if some fool hit that big drift north of our place wrong, they were on their own. No way I'd fire up the tractor to pull them out in the dark. We got ~ another 1.5" of snow but most of it wound up in ditches, groves, grasslands & windbreaks.

Just got done shoveling our sidewalk and in front of the garage. The driveway is passable so I'm waiting for it ro warm up a bit.
-
I wondered if no tow meant that if you get in trouble no tow trucks will mobilize to get you. ?????
Straight from the DM Register: Under a tow ban, cars will not be towed unless they are in the way of snowplows or are a public safety hazard. :scratch: Near as I can tell looking at 511ia, all but about 12 of Iowa's 99 counties currently have a Tow Ban in place. :rolleyes:

Big warmup starting Monday for us, it looks like 8 straight days of low to mid-30's. Quite a bit of rain/snow showers starting about Tuesday in there too. :scratch:

Same with us and I am looking forward to it.

Should see about an inch of snow here between later on today & tonite. Three more nites of sub-zero lows and we should be out of it for a while. Next week sounds like a switch back to earlier January temps when we were in the low to mid-30's. Precip sounds lite and possibly liquid form until it freezes for here anyway. Some are ready to get out the patio furniture in February. Might wanna curb their enthusiasm just yet. Numerous times over the years, February has actually been colder than January here, including last year. Average Jan. temp in Waseca was 17.1 vs. 15.9 in Feb., thanks in large part to 2 bitter cold stretches. So far, as of this January 16th, the frost depth at the SROC in Waseca under bare soil was 11". Since there is little snow cover on the fields, it's likely to be the same. Last year, with all the snow cover, the frost depth in many fields was negligible due to the snow cover. Much of the snow melt went into the ground rather than running off. What is a little surprising has been the relative lack of ice fishing activity on area lakes with portables. The ice thickness usually follows the frost depth in the soil relatively closely. Just got a report from a local angler's son who had been fishing at an undisclosed area lake location. Ice thickness was 9". Fish were biting.
-
Normally ice fishing really takes off between Christmas and New Years. Since things weren't fit then I think some are just not going to get it done this year. That's ok, give the fish a break.
-
dang nabit that wind is raw outside. :confused: went out to take recycling out, pick up dog bombs, fill my peanut butter bird feeder and had enough for now!!!!!!!

I agree. A bit less pressure does not hurt a thing. I stayed out of it on IDO as well.

I think it's funny that glenn stayed out of it! :rotflmao:
Lotsa little snow squalls blowing thru the area here today. Fine, blowing snow so you can only see ~ 1/4 mile then 5 minutes later the sun comes out. :scratch: Looks like our temp topped out around 5 as advertised and was down to 3 a little bit ago. Noted the 1st portable I've seen about 1 p.m. on St. Olaf. As far as fishing pressure there, the fish usually don't bother people a lot. :coffee:
-
Yeah, when the eff does Glenn stay out of anything. Too Funny!

It is just starting to dip below 0 now. Will hit -20 tonight. Bucko is grained, wood stove full so all is well.

saying -15 here tonight... 7 tomorrow...

Hourly shows 6 on the evil side of the dial for the morning, hopefully after the outdoor news and coffee is done I'll be the only one at the car warsh butt early in the morning.

Yupper, think I'm done hauling hot water to the main barn for a while. Sustained winds today in the mid-20 mph range, gusting to 35. Makes it easier to drink coffee & stay under the blankie a while longer. :coffee:

We got sleet coming down here now pinging off of the fish house.

not good....

OK, I admit I am envious as heck Ken.

Hope you’re using the ship Wi-Fi, Ken. Last year I was down there and accidentally had my cellphone roaming. That resulted in a huge bill, and suspension of service. Took a month to straighten it out when I got home.
Have a good time. Wear earplugs at the piers so the steel drum music doesn’t wreck your hearing.
-
Started WiFi at halfway point. Only problem I have had is when going to the ports I get a backache from walking on the uneven bricks. Every port has old bricks from ships in the market area. So can't spend more than an hour ashore unless on an excursion.
-
Nothin hard but a steady rain here since ~2, luckily it's still 34 yet.
-
foggy mist here all afternoon.. 31 now, slippery tomorrow again I'm thinking....
-
Been real light moisture coming down here too. Freezing and making the snow kind of crunchy.
-
Ditto for today too. The wife was out and said it is moist. 95% hunidity.
-
Ya, it was drizzling on the way into work this am.

still some fog and I can both wet and icy areas on the sidewalk...

So wet she wasn't sure if moisture was coming down or not.
-
Kinda drizzling-misting perhaps here. Nothing frozen or slippery however. Still some snow around the building sites, in the ditches, fencelines and groves. Most of that will likely be gone if their forecasts for next week are correct. Just looking at those forecast highs and the bare, black ground around here, I'd be surprised if they don't revise those highs upwards once the sun comes out. I see the SROC in Waseca measured their frost depth at 15" under bare soil on the 22nd. Without precipitation, it will take some time for that to come out but we're in no hurry to start messing around in the fields just yet.
-
the sun is poking out of the clouds!!!! :happy1: :happy1:

It was here too. Now it is so foggy I can't see shore.

well the fog isn't as bad today.. but the trees and such are sure frosty this morning!!!

Yes, lots of frost on the trees up here to. Cool to see. Fish house is all frosty too.
-
They've backed off on our temps for next week now, near 40 for Wednesday-Friday is the latest.
-
Drove to south dakota and back early yesterday. I had sun west of Willmar and clouds east.
-
And just like that it is cloudy now.
-
partly cloudy here yet
-
Man the sun just came out here big time. Had to close some shades it is so bright. Lot of white out there with the trees all white yet. Fresh white snow cover too. Only 25 yet but that will go up fast now.
-
about 1 1/2 hours ago the sky turned all blue here!!! at least 35 now too
-
got home a bit ago..was the wierdest drive home in al long while. started out a bit foggy, then cleared up, then sun, then 10 miles down the road more fog.......then thick fog then sun then more fog. :surrender: :crazy: :rotflmao:

We got peckered out of our sunshine today. Not only that, looks like no sunshine now until Wednesday unless the sun shines Tuesday at nite. :angry:
9:45 p.m. - Was just outside & it's clear as a bell. Moon was big and bright. Finners crossed for sunshine tomorrow.
-
Yah, the stars were shining when I went out to the shop this morning. Looks like some sunshine for this morning!
-
Sun is out here! Oh well, it's supposed to cloud up with a slight chance of snow tonite then be cloudy tomorrow again. Rest of the week looks promising tho. We shall see... :coffee:
-
Sun shining brightly here too. Epic day.
-
:scratch: We've got something bright & shiny up in the sky today too. :shocked: The hoarfrost was comin off the trees so fast earlier that looked like it was snowing. They've revised our high temp to 42 today now & I'm seein 38 for tomorrow but otherwise it looks like low to mid 40's now through 2/9. :happy1:
-
clouding up here...
-
Could see clouds off to north earlier. Still sunny here... :coffee:
-
blue sky to the NW and cloudy south
-
Was super foggy on my way in this morning then after daylight the fireball in the sky came out. The pickup said 49 coming home, I ain't complaining..
-
clouded up again here
and the wind has picked up too!!
-
Looks like they've upped our temps in the 10-day this morning again. :rolleyes: Mostly mid-upper 40's & even a couple 50's for Wednesday & Thursday of next week now. :cool:
-
We had 50 here yesterday. A bit cooler today and then back to upper 40's or los 50's. Yesterday it looked like the irises were starting to grow on the south side of the garage.
-
looking at the long range forcast.......iffin ya can believe it.........i am beginning to wonder if i had my last ice fishing trip??? :surrender: :scratch: :scratch:

We got ice for a bit yet for sure. This winter is not over yet.

Been reading people are tapping and talking maple syrup already :scratch:
-
Ya someone here mentioned it. Unreal.
-
well we have fog moving back in..
-
thinkin by days end i wont have any snow left in my yard!!!! fire ring is still got a little ice and frost :shocked:
-
Beautiful day here. Sunny and light breeze here at the ranch. It may hit 50 today.
-
Supposed to be a high of 53 here. Betting it goes higher than that under clear skies with all the black ground. Fall tillage went well so a lot of it got done. 41 presently.
-
opened the windows in the house for some good fresh air. checked the fire ring and had some wter in it, so i took a potato fork and punched holes. bet there aint 3 inches of frost!!!!!
-
54 in Waseca, Owatonna & Albert's Leaf presently... :coffee:
-
well we have fog moving back in..
:crazy: i already got a dense fog advisory for here tonight. i might not make it to the store in the morning!!!!!! :rotflmao: :rotflmao:
the horseshoe chain ice looks ugly. hope that guy gets his house off or it could be structure soon!!!!! :shocked:
-
just popped 50 here!!!
-
The pick em up said 54 coming home a bit ago, momma took the pooch fer a stroll at noon and didn't even bring a coat.
-
Trying to get you aroused before grilling. I know their tricks... :whistling:
-
That'll do it and the grill will get used tonight. Come to think of it I best check the charcoal count..
-
The wife and I took the pup for a long walk. Unbelievable how nice it is. The patio door is wide open, 51 degrees here, love this global warming.
-
54 here. Pruning walnut trees.
-
50-51 here. Getting muddy where the snow is disappearing.
-
59 in the garage yesterday afternoon. No furnace needed. :happy1:
-
30 with dense fog this morning. Should get sunny later with a high in the mid 40s. Sounds like another 10 days and winter might return. Days are getting noticeably longer so I'm thinking about spring. Someone in Waseca told me they heard the frogs peeping but you know how people in Waseca are.
-
Sure glad I didn't go out and buy that Eskimo fish house I was eyeballing back in November. Anyone seen any good deals on them yet?
I guess there's still time for some winter weather but not for ice fishing.
-
Just clouded up here and may barely hit 40.
-
Fog was thick earlier. When I got to Hwy 13 & stopped, a semi came out of nowhere in the fog in front of me. Rather then hang a left onto 13 & get run over, I opted to blast straight across, coming into town the back way. Topped out yesterday officially at Waseca, Owatonna & Albert's Leaf at 54. The SROC in Waseca reported 55.7, rounded up to 56. Presently 39 in Waseca, 43 in Owatonna & 39 in Albert's Leaf.
-
got up at 3;30 to work the store at 4........was clear as a bell!!!!!!! windshield was a tad frosty though!!
-
Monday-Thursday 50 here now in the 10-day. :scratch:
-
Sounding real close to that here gunner. Rain possibly on Thursday. If it would rain 1/2" or more to wash some of the crap off the roads, I'd entertain thoughts of getting the Studebaker out. :cool:
-
might touch 50 some more here but the 40's into next week here and then still in the 30's...
-
who woulda thunk it in feb...... :crazy: but i made ice to put in my beer cooler for tomorrow!!!! :shocked: not taking any chances of it getting warm on me!!!!! :doah: :rotflmao:
brother is going to be at the cabin over super bowl weekend.......i gotta check with him to see when he and his homies are leaving........i need another sprearchuckin trip.......may as well piggy back it since the cabin is already warm! :happy1: i'm quite certain the weathers going south before spring officially shows up. and season closes at the end of the month.
-
And of course, we have the Groundhog Day factor. According to lore, if he sees his shadow, there will be 6 more weeks of winter. If he doesn't, spring is just around the corner. He definitely saw his shadow this morning here so that would indicate the former. However, somewhere I read that Punxsutawney Phil's predictive capabilities were correct only 39% of the time. That's statistically less reliable than a coin flip or the odds of glenn visiting the hotties in Inger on his expeditions north... :sleazy:

It is 42 here and pretty stiff SE breeze. Rain is supposed to start soon and continue till tomorrow when it will change to snow and should get 1-3" of snow tomorrow.
-
clouded up here and some windy too... no rain here yet
45 here
-
Cloudy and breezy here. Temp is 50 with a 16 mph wind, gusting to 25. Looks like they keep backing down the rain in the forecast for tomorrow which is fine by me. Latest forecast says less than a tenth. Talked to the sheep shearer this a.m. He said not to even worry about locking the ewes in tomorrow. He said they'll have all of Friday to dry off. We'll see. If the forecast changes or it looks rainy on the radar at choretime, we may toss a bale or two in the barn so they go inside just to be on the safe side.
-
We had a little light rain earlier this morning. Surprisingly the sun is shining now. Its in the mid 40s and the predicted high is 53. Cooling off tomorrow but temps will still be about 8 degrees above the norm.
-
.03" at the ranch & in Bugtussle. Didn't see any reading from Waseca but the guy who maintains the gauge SW of Owatonna reported .05". Supposed to have a high around 53 with wind gusts up to 40 mph today. It should help dry things out and take some of the remaining frost out of the ground. Grass is greening on the south facing slope in the pasture. Ewes have been taking advantage of it.
-
I used to have a website that gave rain fall totals for Minn and the general area around the Minn.. kind of like the snow fall total site... I can't seem to remember where I got it... anyone have it???
-
Raining like a mother here and has since 8 this morning. We have a solid 1/4" according to my outstanding gauge. We had a puddle that I thought may be getting shallower the other day. No the frost didn't go out. It is like a lake now.

Like I said on Ice Conditions, the river looks pretty darn wet. We have 1/2" right now and still raining.

Just started our predicted afternoon rainfall event in Bugtussle a few minutes ago. Should be <.1"

looks like the fog is coming back

No gauge out this away, but the concrete was wet before I left this morning and it been dribbling off and on all day. No fetch fer the pooch, he rips up enough sod on a sunny day.

It rained pretty hard here yday ~3..................for 10 minutes.............maybe.

one thing I seen on the news last night and again this morning was that some where in southern Wis there was tornado sightings!!! in Feb!!! yikes!!!!

I saw that too Mike. Hit one house pretty hard. Scary. We have light snow coming down. Still lots of grass showing.
-
2.3 inches here after last night. Enough to get out the blower.

Just went to Mankato and back. Had off on and off moderate rain. I sure hope it helps Dotch's radishes.
Sadly I don't think it helped them much altho it might help keep the cats from digging in the flower bed. Another .09" at the ranch & .11" in Bugtussle yesterday afternoon/early evening. It actually amounted to something when the .03" that fell in the a.m. was added to it. Some puddles in the driveway.
-
Man it is blustery out today. The wind is howling.
-
:rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao: I found it. SO I see Thur and Fri we will have highs in the teens. After that we start our climb to spring. Upper 20's 30's and even 40's in a week or two. Just thought I would get everyone started in spring fever mode early. LOL

Ya those poor bastages are getting it again. They said the most inches of snow in years is possible. I thought that's what they said a time or two ago.
-
Anyone planning to coming to the Bemidji area might want to wait until later in the morning. It is raining out and just not real pretty right now. Roads are slicking up!!!
-
Anyone know what that bright orangish thing is up in the sky?? :scratch: :rotflmao:
-
Must be a crack in the sky over there. Cloudy and windy here.

A real fine snow falling here. It's funny how things change, channel 4 has been predicting barley an inch all week now it's 3-5. Button down the hatches she's a coming!!

every thing is sugar coated here... roads, sidewalks etc!!! slippery stuff too!!! but stopped snowing here...
-
As noted in the Good Morning thread, ~2.3" at the ranch & 2.5" in Bugtussle. Changed over to snow ~ 8:30 - 9 p.m. last nite & was outta here by 2 a.m. according to some locally who were cleaning parking lots, etc. Temps dropped a lot more than I thought they might. Couldn't believe how nice it was in the lambing barn this a.m. tho. 14 outside and prolly 45 - 50 in there with 30 shorn ewes giving off all that heat in nice dry bedding. Makes you want to stay in there sometimes just watching the lambs play in the pens.
-
I dropped to 7 here but is up to 12 now. Bright sunshine and a healthy NW breeze.
-
Another day of severe clear. Hurt me some more! :cool: Saw the temp on the Buick reach 51 yesterday afternoon coming back from Owatonna. Snow's all gone and the ewes were grazing on the sidehill south of the house. Geese overhead heading north this morning. Looks more like April. Can almost taste those January planted radishes which reminds me, I better get my February planting done... :coffee:
-
Pretty sure it hit 60 down in Des Moines by about 2 when we got back on the road yday. Another upper 50 day tomorrow & I'm seeing low 60's for next Monday & Tuesday here.
-
44 and mostly sunny here at the moment.... :happy1: motion lotion is still $2.99
-
Topped out around 51 in my travels yesterday afternoon. When I got out of the sunshine or down by St. Olaf Lake, it tapered off a few degrees. Was 46 in Waseca & Owatonna where it stayed cloudier, with 52 in Albert's Leaf where it was sunny. Presently 43 in Waseca with 45 in Owatonna & Albert's Leaf. Had to open the windows on the car to keep the groceries from getting too warm before pulling for home & some lunch. 😋
-
It is so frigging warm here you have to find shade to stand in. It is 44 now. :sleazy:
-
Back from a fruitless effort trying to corral a ewe to put her in a pen. Gave up & went back to town. She can lamb outside & we'll pick up the pieces later. It was 53 on the Buick thermometer on my way back in to Bugtussle. I got things to do. Eff it. :angry:

If she keeps it up, she'll get her wish! :angry:
-
If someone had told me ewes would still be trying to lamb outside in February after they were shorn, I would've told them they were nuts. Got yesterday's problem solved with a set of twins, inside the barn. Topped out yesterday at 50 in Waseca with 52 in Owatonna & Albert's Leaf. There have been plenty of warm winters in the past altho there are differences in numbers & positioning of thermometers, not to mention the amount of asphalt, etc. creating heat islands. As a result, we're not always measuring apples to apples.

We had some sprinkles yesterday afternoon but nothing more. Windy as all get out today then supposed to get ugly tomorrow & tomorrow nite. Snow single digit lows. with 20 degrees Wed. rebounding to upper 40's Thursday. Then steadily working its way towards almost 70 on Sunday. Could see some small grain put in as a result for those who have been thinking about it the past couple years but nixed the idea when it was corn planting time.
-
Sun is shining here at the moment but that is all supposed to change later today. Calling for 55-60 today and Tues night supposed to be -11.

The winds have gone down some but the snow is coming down harder. Our trees may just be blocking the wind too. Update: Away from the house the wind is blowing hard.
-
news showed a Fargo road camera, rather white there.... Ken is most likely getting snow too
-
Starting out to be a nice morning here so far altho I can see the wind's starting to pick up. Hard to believe it'll be 5 above tomorrow morning especially given the highs yesterday. Was 68 in Waseca & at the ranch, 70 in Owatonna & Albert's Leaf along with a 71 in the metropolitan Bugtussle heat island measured on the Buick thermometer. They planted some corn, soybeans and wheat yesterday at the SROC just to see what happens. We get a day of cold tomorrow & Thursday spring is back on again. :happy1:

Blizzard conditions here this morning. Supposed to last until about 6:00 tonight. Can barely see across the street. :thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs:

Down to 8 here. I plowed some here so the wife can get in for lunch. Will finish it all when the snow is done. Still snowing and blowing pretty good here. I see the flakes are getting smaller. We have a good 6" here. Drifts maybe a foot and a half by buildings.
-
511 is rather bright in the NW part of the state....
freezing drizzle here now
-
I bet the wheat will have a chance Dotch. I'm not sure what year it was but I remember my dad saying he planted small grain in February once. He said it was so nice he thought he had to. He said he ended up replanting it. Don't think he planted radishes though.
-
Ya I'd say with the corn & beans, the Vegas odds are not good. Even with the wheat, it could be hit and miss. Norbert Schultz sowed some wheat west of Bugtussle the end of February in 1987. We'd seen days similar to the recent warm spell that year and the ground was fit. When we got into March, the weather started dragging its feet. The ground froze again down about an inch and he was panicked. Took him out and we pried the frozen crust off the surface with a screwdriver. Could see sprouted wheat seedlings just underneath it. They were alive but it made us wonder how much more they could take. Fortunately the cold let up shortly afterwards and the ground didn't freeze any deeper. The field made it & yielded ~ 55 bu./acre. It looked nice but there was no yield advantage over the wheat that was drilled later in the spring that season.
Temp has dropped to 28. Talking 1"-2" of snow down here now. Lucky us. :rolleyes:
-
Just started snowing in God's Country.
-
I see dat. Got the daffodils covered. They had flower buds on them already. Seeded another row of radishes. Saw there were a few of the January planting germinating so couldn't help myself. :coffee:

no snow here, seen the sun dogs this afternoon too... still windy and cold...

TWC's site says 54 here tomorrow, 57 on Friday, 65 & 75 on the weekend. :crazy:
-
Had -2 at the ranch which was about 7 degrees colder than advertised. Up to 9 above presently and the wind is down significantly. Closed the flap on the lambing barn last nite as it was getting pretty drafty with it open. The ewes were huddled inside. Didn't want some idiot dumping newborn lambs outside anyway. 50's tomorrow & Friday, 60's Saturday with close to 70 Sunday. Back to March with some possibility of precip Sunday nite into Monday. Highs Monday & Tuesday in the mid-40's. The normal high for those days is only 33 so not complaining.
It's just like Barry said:

Pete Boulay is fun to listen to when I've heard his presentations. He doesn't try to superimpose climate change over the top of the data, just puts it into perspective. He's also the guy who oversees our precipitation monitoring group. Warmer than expected yesterday. Highs reached 57 in Owatonna & Albert's Leaf, with 59 in Waseca. Saw a 60 on the Buick thermometer west of St. Olaf Lake. Speaking of that, ice is coming out there quickly with all this wind. Water around the outside 40 - 50 yds. out with some on top of the remaining ice shelf. Suspect if the temps and wind go as forecast (temps near 70 Sunday & winds up to 40 mph) we may see total ice out there by Monday or Tuesday.

Granddaughter's 3rd birthday. I did manage to get a couple wrens with my slingshot. Trying to teach the kids right.

Guessing the ice is out or will be on St. Olaf today. Could be a record but don't know how far the records might go back. Clear Lake in Waseca might be easier to access. Send them wrens this way!

I hear of a big grass fire North of Waseca happening.

The wind has been wild here all day long. Will be some branches to burn after this. That is a good thing. Like to see them down. Have 2 or 3 widow makers that I can't get down so hope they are casualties. They say 20 gusting to 35. I think it is mostly a gust. Light mist here too. Just dropped to 36 from the high of 37.

Nope, prolly 17 or 18 miles to the north & the wind was strong out of the SW. Purty safe here. :cool:

sounds like over 1000 acres and 2 homes lost.... another fire by Fergus Falls too..
-
Big slough area. There are some houses scattered around out that side of Waseca so no surprise. Wouldn't have taken much to get a fire going and out of control yesterday.
Topped out at 74 at the ranch with 73 in Waseca, Owatonna & Albert's Leaf. No ice on St. Olaf Lake this a.m. when I went by. Reputedly went out yesterday with the wind. Saw earthworm castings by the main barn yesterday morning and more robins flying around. Sheep were grazing on the hillside this a.m. Enough green grass to keep their interest already.

Waseca fire dept says no structures damaged. Two firefighters were treated and released. One resident was injured. I can understand the false information on Fakebook but there is no excuse for news outlets reporting untrue information.

From Albert's Leaf Trbune:
By Cari Spencer and Nicole Ki, Minnesota Public Radio News Wildfires in southern and western Minnesota burned hundreds of acres on Sunday amid warm weather, gusty winds and low humidity. A wildfire ignited north of Waseca around noon Sunday, swelling to more than 500 acres by late afternoon as it spread across fields and wetlands, according to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. Email newsletter signup Sign up for our daily email newsletter KARE 11, citing officials in Waseca County, reported the fire was under control Sunday night after burning an estimated 1,000 acres. There were no immediate reports of injuries or structures damaged. More information is expected on Monday. Meanwhile, in western Minnesota, the Fergus Falls Fire Department reported that a fast-moving wildfire in Western Township, southwest of Fergus Falls, burned more than 1,000 acres on Sunday. Officials said it was contained as of Sunday night, with Minnesota DNR and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service crews monitoring areas that were still smoldering. Waseca wildfire In southern Minnesota, 12 fire departments responded to the fire near Waseca, with support from both the DNR and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Two aerial planes were dispatched to lay down fire retardant, said Leanne Langeberg, a public information officer with the Minnesota Interagency Fire Center. A helicopter also responded. According to a dispatcher at the Waseca County Sheriff’s Office, as of late Sunday afternoon, a few houses were evacuated, but no houses were impacted by the fire. The fire started as a small brush fire, growing amid ideal fire conditions. Sunday’s weather conditions prompted officials to issue the first red flag warning of the year in Minnesota, signaling ideal conditions for flames to easily spread quickly out of control. Langeberg said the season’s first red flag warning usually is not issued until a few weeks into March, but the lack of snow cover this winter spurred an earlier warning. “If we continue on the drier pattern, we’re likely to have a more active spring wildfire season this year,” said Langeberg. “What we’re seeing this time of year is a lot of the grasses that were left over from last year are now once again exposed and they’ve had the whole winter to dry out in here. And when you get a heat source that touches down on those grasses, a fire can ignite.” The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency issued an advisory Sunday, saying the wildfire could affect air quality along the Interstate 35 corridor as far north as the Twin Cities. Shifting winds later pushed the smoke to the east. MORE NEWS Repairing ‘damage’ or perfecting policies? Fix bills take center

It still blows me away in this state sometims how much difference there is in say jb's neck of the woods vs. here in the banana belt. Lakes have been open since Sunday while he's moving his fish house out of snowbanks. 🤔 We'll get back to reality here Thursday nite thru Saturday, with lows in the low 20's & highs in the the low 40's. Some lite precip expected. Then it's game on again, with highs in the 50's & 60's into next week. :cool: Could be mowing lawn here in March. Hell, we plant radishes in January! :rotflmao:

yep it is kinda crazy. in my travels to the cabin most my life its almost like 3 different weather zones.
seems like from home here in Cold Spring to Brainerd its about the same. then from Brainerd to maybe Remer, for sure Deer River you notice a change, and even from Deer River to the cabin is different.
everything from snow totals, to ice on the lakes, to trees budding, to how the underbrush and grass looks!
-
A few years after we moved here I was on the ice fishing without a house at the end of the season and I hear a motor running. Here it was a house right across the river from us. He was mowing his south facing lawn. Like I said I was sitting on a bucket ice fishing. :confused:
-
Right. It is a good thing I like winter. They can be long up here.
-
winds have been picking up, and the lake ice is really changing today...
-
Lakes are starting to open up around Detroit Lakes area.
-
I was ice fishing for perch on leech lake on March 29. Drove home and fried some up for the Warden's birthday. My mom came over too. That turned out to be the day the tornadoes hit St Peter.
-
that sure changed the look of the tree's in there!!! big old growth tree's gone...
-
Well, my snowblower has been parked out here all winter, never used.
It’s going back to the shed tomorrow. I hope its not a jinx.

That's a beauty. You can just change oil for the heck of it every 3 years. :rotflmao: :rotflmao:
-
yea coopy........been thinkin about doing the same thing for a few weeks already.....think i'll wait till after the boys BB tourney though. :surrender: :pouty:
-
Good idea. I have been thinking about taking the camper out of storage with warm weather coming but but but.
-
Coop, I feel your pain. I'm probably going to fire mine up just to run all the gas out of the just about full tank. I ran mine all of 20 minutes.
-
same thoughts with mine too...

Funny you mention that, I go by the book every fall it gets changed. The bro not so much, he's owned his snow chucker for ten yrs and has yet to change oil.. :doofus:

I walk past my 7' blower every morning and nite doing chores. Doesn't bother me in the least that it's not hooked onto the tractor. There's enough to do around here without that as I found last winter when the wife was laid up. I'll have to hook it up, grease the pto shaft & a couple other zerks, check the gearbox oil level, then oil the auger drive chains. Hopefully I can clean up enough crap so it can sleep inside until next winter. Betting we won't be hearing about record warm temps then. :coffee:
-
29 and clear skies here. A north breeze. Looks like a nicer day than what it is. I will wait till tomorrow to play outside. :happy1:
-
Kinda that way here. It's struggled to get to 40 but with the NW wind blowing 15 mph or more, it has a bite to it. Of course, a yearling ewe decided to lamb on the west side of the windbreak a little bit ago. Those yearlings have the brains of a gnat & that's an insult to the gnat. Luckily the lamb was big, active & smart or it could've easily been chilled.
-
35 and sunny here
-
62 at the moment!!!
-
65 here......another winter record.
-
did make 65 here too
-
73 here
-
I win! 74 at the ranch this afternoon. Watered my radishes to celebrate. Looks like the January planting is starting to make its move...:coffee:
-
You always get 1 more degree.
-
They said 62 but I don't know if it got that warm. Was pretty darn nice though. Lots of water on the ice.
-
He is a Southerner. :fish2: :fish2:
That's why he has already planted radishes. :confused:
-
They said 62 but I don't know if it got that warm. Was pretty darn nice though. Lots of water on the ice.
So nice we had to get out so, we hit HH at Riley's. We had 59 on the thermometer out in the garage then, ~ 2:45.
-
a bit of snow off and on here this morning
-
little bit of the white stuff here.....
-
Ground was a little white & it was spittin a bit when we left for the paper. It got a little more serious & CR 35 was pretty well covered over by Big & Little Jessie. :scratch: It looks like the group over at the resort might've pulled out yday too.
-
it's getting a bit whiter here too...
-
Been snowing here on and off too.
-
it's getting a bit whiter here too...
same here!!!!!!! i aint pulling my snowblower out for no amount of snow no more!!!!!! :tut: :tut:
i briefly looked at the extended.........looks like we could be in for some precip before easter.
-
So windy out on the lake I can't tell if it is snowing or just blowing around.
-
Brown & bare here with the wind still at it. Occasional sideways flurries but no accumulations. Colder week ahead, more seasonal temps with some snow. Was tempted to take the chains off the tractor but then I looked at the calendar. The people who thought planting corn in mid-March was a good idea may find out the hard way.
-
looking at the long range forecast I'm thinking might be backing off on not using his snow blower!!! any where from 6 or 7 inches to over 12 inches from Thursday into the next week... it's still March!!!

:pouty: i'll believe it when i see it!!!!!!
that's my thinking too.... :happy1:

It's still early but last nights news claimed snow north and rain south. My phone apps are yapping 1-3 on Thursday and maybe the same Saturday with rain into the following week. We need it but time will tell.
-
2nd that

:pouty: i'll believe it when i see it!!!!!!
That's a good place for it. :sleazy: :evil: :rolleyes: :laugh: :laugh:

White here today and high in the 20's.
-
Monitoring the weather closely right now. Will likely mess around this week and stay slightly below normal temperature-wise. Looking like there's potential for a winter storm over the weekend. It could bring some welcome precip. It could also bring a fair amount of snow, like a foot or more judging by the predicted precip amounts and forecast temperatures.
This is not unprecedented. Snowstorms during MN high school basketball tournament season have been a longstanding tradition. In 1974, our high school team was playing in the districts at Rochester. The weather had been warm prior to that. Visions of early corn planting were dancing in farmers' heads. We were in shirtsleeves and had the windows rolled down on the pep band bus. It was hot in the gym during the game. Not long afterwards the weather switched gears and we had several significant snowstorms.
-
Yes 4-6 inches expected here starting Sunday.
-
BRING IT ON!!!!!!! :party1: :happybounce: :dancinred: :dancinred: :blues brothers: :rocker; :snow5: :snow5: :snow2: :snow4: :snow3:
:sleazy: :happy1: :happy1: :rotflmao:
-
Bite yer tongue, knave! We like it just fine the way it's been. :angry: Looking like potential for 3" - 7" here Thursday nite, followed by a more nebulous forecast starting Saturday nite. Looks like it'll be packing more moisture but likely be snow changing over to rain then back & forth between the two. Lovely. I'll take boring and warm, thank you very much.
-
only talking 1 to 3 inches here Thursday night, but then Sunday night to Tuesday morning!!! 8 to 15 inches as of now... will be interesting where we end up for a final total...
wind is kicking up good today!! glad it's not snowing with it!!!
-
man these weather terrorists are all over the place!!!!! :surrender: :surrender: :doah:
i'll say this.....the moisture will be a good thing!!!!!! :happy1: :happy1:
-
Yup.....snow on the way.....6-8 inches here by next Tuesday.
-
NWS saying 2" - 5" for tomorrow nite into Friday a.m. here then it could get real.
The bad news: Precip maps are saying our liquid equivalent totals starting Saturday nite thru Tuesday are for ~2". If it dumps their predicted liquid equivalent of .25" tomorrow nite, that leaves 1.75" for over the weekend into Tuesday. If, and that's a big if, it all falls as snow it could mean somewhere in the range of 20".
The good news: Temps should be moderate. As a result, the forecast is calling for a rain/snow mix at times. That might help keep the snow accumulation down some.
More bad news: Sunday thru Monday nite, ESE winds will be sustained between 20 - 30 mph, gusting at 35 - 40 mph, making the potential for power outages greater.
-
WOW.....revised forecast from Wunderground.com
Yup.....It's state BB tournament time. Another snow storm on the way.
2 in tomorrow
5 in. Sunday
6 in Monday
2 in Tuesday
That's now 15 inches by Tuesday. We need the moisture but that's a lot at 1 time. If there is wind I will need a bobcat to clean the driveway!!!
-
We were planning on heading back home on Sunday or Monday as we had an appointment in Mason City on Wednesday but yday that appointment got moved to a week later. Now we need to be back home by Wednesday so we can go to Marshalltown on Thursday for a real early appt, 7 something, on Friday. :rolleyes:
-
As mentioned on the Good Morning thread, our weekend forecast is trending more towards liquid precipitation. The latest forecast total liquid equivalent amount for the week is still ~2", with maybe 6" - 7" of that being snow. The ground has a shallow frost layer in places but that should disappear in a hurry, especially if temperatures warm above freezing Sunday and into the low 40's by Monday. They're sticking with the 35 - 40 mph ESE wind gusts however so we'll likely burn thru a bunch of bedding in the barn.
-
Flipped on TWC. Man, they seem to think we are going to get nailed. Pretty early to get too worked up about forecasts IMO.

Ole Sven on bring me the news reported the NWS is saying the same thing. Saying g something like tread carefully this weekend.
There yapping 3-6 here.
-
They've kind of backed off our forecast now. Snow starting Sunday but <1" & going through the day Tuesday. With 1-3" for Sunday night, Monday, Monday night, & Tuesday but early this morning they had it at 3-5" on Monday & Monday night. :confused:
-
big ole white flakes coming down now!!!!!!! :snow4: :snow2: :snow3: :snow5:
-
not much here, get the snow blower ready Glenn!!! :happy1: :happy1:
-
changed that fast!!! getting whiter now... :rotflmao: bring it on!!!
-
I just looked out my window. Nothing. I looked east. Maybe I'll look out a west facing window.
-
Well it’s 9:30 here and about 2” so far. Still coming down.
-
Radar shows it staying just south of US 2. so far.
-
guessing close to 3 inches here for sure
-
Nothing here till Sun Mon it looks. Clear here now with a slight breeze.
-
Nothin here either, but the weather terrorists have clearly taken over TWC's site. ;) :smiley: The have a Winter Storm Watch in place for 7am Sunday-7am Tuesday with storm totals of 10-25" :rolleyes: & winds gusting to 40 mph in it. :crazy:

heard about 8 inched by St, Cloud!! Glenn should be happy!!!

-
Not as much as advertised thus far altho it has plenty of moisture in it as advertised. .6" of snow & .06" of moisture in it. As per the NWS forecast, looking like more snow here Sunday into Monday, somewhere in the 4" - 8" range. Forecasts have tamed the wind gusts down somewhat, focusing the highest gusts up to 45 mph on Sunday nite. Becoming more rain on Monday, with .25" - .5" of rain expected.

:tut: It never storms that bad here :rolleyes:..............................unless that pot stirring guy up by the Spring Lake store is up here. :nerd: ;) :laugh: :laugh:
-
It is about 25 here and windy of course from the NE it seems here. Man it is a cold wind. Walk around to the lee side in the sun and it is tropical. Go to the north side and it is a challenge. LOL A beautiful clear day.
-
it must be really bad...........when i looked on my phone on the weather app....it was red....... :sleazy: usually a nice blue!!!!
mine says starting about 10 sunday.....up north later with less snow..... the talk thursday at the store was wondering if the truck will make it??? there sounding like travel could be non existent around here for a while!!!!!
-
In the Strib this morning. Central MN could see 2 feet of snow. North metro could see 18"
-
:scratch: Not sounding good here either, 8-14" starting about 1pm tomorrow & going through 7pm Tuesday. Chance of .2" of ice too. :rolleyes:
-
yea it seems to have been pretty consistent that the central part of the state was the target zone. matter of fact i seen one that actually had a target/bullseye smack dab in the center of the state.........like right on stearns cty!!!! :confused:
i keep telling myself we need the moisture. hope it keeps working!!!!! :rotflmao: :rotflmao: should shut down the fire danger..one would think!!!!! :happy1:
-
saying it should start by mid to late morning tomorrow... could snow up to 2 inches an hour at times it said...
-
Looks like we'll be getting less snow & more rain. Amounts will vary with how fast it moves but looks like 3"- 6" snow Sunday then 1/4" - 1/2" rain Sunday nite into Monday finishing off with a dab of snow Tuesday. Spring is slowing down here temporarily. The precip will be welcome for my January planted radishes that have been in suspended animation.
-
Yeah, the lakes & rivers really need it up here too. :rolleyes:
-
I'm pumped the west will get dumped on Glenn, just not sure what kind of runoff will happen with no frost.

same here.... :happy1: :rotflmao:
-
Yeah.....we are looking at up to 16 here. But with a 35 MPH wind bringing blizzard conditions will make it tough for 2 days. Schools have already given their kids E-school learning.
-
I just went down and bought my new fishing license. My kid was told by one of the owners Bernicks, who delivers Pepsi already canceled Monday deliveries .
-
So hard to imagine with it as clear as it was today and real low humidity. Only 47% here right now. Will be some excitement if it happens. Just hope people are careful.
-
Real light flurries here now
-
~.5" on the ground so far. Has a lot of moisture in it judging by the scrunch factor walking to the barn. We'll melt some out in the morning to see just how much. :scratch:
-
Getting some light snow now, looks like that should be done in about an hour. S'posed to get more serious again ~ 3 or 4. The WSW we're under is still saying 8-14" by the time it's done. Put the blade back on the Grizzly yday morning, so we're as ready as we can be. Sounds like it will be some wet heavy stuff, so take it easy movin it, everybody. :tut:
-
it's what i'm hearing to...wet and heavy. depending on how hard it comes down.......i may clean up a little at a time in shifts!!!!
no snowblower.....be damn!!!!!!! :happy1: :rotflmao:
-
Roh.roh........looked outside and snowing..........
-
I'm guessing about 1.5" here overnight. It's windy but not snowing now. It must have drizzled a little overnight.

Started around 9ish here in Princeton. Can see tire tracks on the road now. It's not snowing real hard.
-
There's 3 big areas of pink on 511 now & a smaller area up by McGregor. Waseca, Montevideo, the Alexandria areas are the bad spots already.
-
Got ~1" of snow overnite here with a lull since early a.m. A bunch of stuff south of here moving this direction. Looks like a potential for mixed precip so best put the gauge back out soon. 2" - 4" of snow for today with 3/4" - 1" of rain anticipated tomorrow.
-
It is 27 here with not much wind. It actually went down from earlier. Calm before the storm? The sun is shining but the dark clouds are just south of us. Can almost see a line drawn where they are.
-
its still early........maybe but i am beginning to think the terrorists outdid themselves with this storm. :surrender: :surrender: the sun is out!!!! :pouty: :crazy:
-
I wonder that too Glenn. It is sunny as heck, 35 and a light wind. Perfect. Should be having a fire.

-
Been snowing here for a few hours. Little flakes. Not much sticking on the street yet although it looks to be getting slushy out there.
-
Looks like we picked up another 1 1/2" or so of wet snow. A little break in the action with some mixed precip headed this way out of IA. Should get here ~4-ish if it holds together.
-
Update: Up here on the Canadian Border it is 39 and back to sunny. We can see the clouds south of us yet.
-
its a light snow here now........but i took a close look at what the terrorists are saying.......sounds like hte worse will be later today and into the overnight :scratch: :scratch: :scratch: :confused: guess we'll find out. i might go out and clean off whats here!!!!
there is breeze but wouldnt call it windy.........yet!
-
Good idea! You can always record the Hallmark channel... :coffee:
-
A really fine snow here, school closings over around Duluth down to about Moose Lake started going across the TV screen just before 3. The hourly looks a little different, but the WSW does not. :scratch:
-
can still see a few blades of grass but not many... it will be interesting what it looks like tomorrow morning... I decided to take the day off tomorrow too Gunner.. I invoked the retired persons creed...
-
Cleaned off the patio an our ago, 2" tops. But it's not sticking to the driveway or the road. Hopefully it stays that way for tomorrows work adventure.
-
roads here were covered this morning early on
-
Still 35 and sunny but I didn't want to take any chances so I am finishing the ribs in the oven. I don't want to get trapped outside if the storm gets out of hand.
-
just got in from cleaning up whats there.....its sticking to roads and everything. got what was there cleaned up. maybe 2 2-1/2 inches. started coming down as grapple.
iowaboy says he cant log in........wondering if the power is out up here. says site cant be reached?/ maybe an iowa thing!! :rotflmao: :rotflmao:
-
Could be related to all that hooch the IDO boys sent him. :confused:

Still pretty fine stuff but it definitely picked up about 4:30, tougher to see all the way across the bay now. Some plows out down by GR now too.
-
slowed down now
-
It balks sometimes on the MNO log in here too but I can usually attribute that to internet related issues. The internet signal comes off the neighbor's grain leg. Weather and I think the neighbor burning up too much bandwidth watching porn are factors. :rotflmao: It's been better since they upped our speed after Jan. 1st. And, with some sites, when using my phone, I have browser issues using Google when entering data. With Firefox, it works fine for whatever reason.
Weather has shifted gears. All sleet and freezing rain. Sounded like the pole barn was being sandblasted when finishing chores a little bit ago. Looks like more liquid-form precip just across the IA border heading this way, very s-l-o-w-l-y.

9:40: Was just out and fed the bottle lambs. Raining. Yard is like a giant white Slurpee. ~2" of snow is just slop after it soaked up the rain.
[attachment deleted by admin]

10-12" here so far at 4am.
Just plowed the drive.
Heavy & wet....be careful, don't have a heart attack....
-
Wet and slushy here in God's Country. Nice to see the moisture. Glad we dodged the bullet on heavy snowfall!
Yes, be careful shoveling this stuff.
-
Was curious to see what everyone got so far. We got absolutely nothing. I mean nothing. Had south wind earlier now it is from the north. ??? So much for our 5-11".
-
TV just said don't worry it could still snow all day today and into tomorrow morning. I see it missing us up here. They are saying still 5" for us.
-
The Duluth station had a reporter down on the lakewalk early this morning & you could hear the wind howling off of Superior. They had 7" up on the hill then & 1-2" < downtown. Their map still had us in the 6-10" range with Scenic & you LOTW guys in the 4-8" range. :confused:
-
Ok, I just saw some snowflakes. I mean actual snowflakes. LOL
-
windy here
-
Started coming down harder ~ a 1/2 hour ago here.
-
yeah, only about 5" here
-
Not much here. Maybe an inch. Windy.
Yeah Dotch......I changed from Google to Firefox a few days ago also and haven't had any trouble getting on here. :happy1: :happy1:
-
Just enough snow to make the driveway white.
-
come on down and get some here!!! :rotflmao: :rotflmao:
-
:scratch: He doesn't have to go that far!! :doah: Probably got at least another 1" since ~ 8 here. :confused:
-
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXpcVd5b108
some folks were real busy!!!
-
How much snow do you have Mike? Glenn is it snowing there?
-
hard to say. between melting some and drifting.. I'm going with several inches and still snowing.. township is now plowing and it looks like a berm he's leaving us...
-
Snow is almost gone in these parts. Still raining. OK for now but if this pattern keeps up, give it a few weeks and the whining will begin after the spring we had going. It's all good. People were already talking about doing stupid things. We had more moisture in the soil down to 2' than most realize before this latest precip.
1.25" of liquid equivalent total at the ranch from Saturday & Sunday with 1.35" in Bugtussle proper. Expecting another half to 3/4" today with some snow and sleet to finish us off tonite. Once it warms up, things should green up quickly. Good to know Firefox worked for you Ken. There has to be a setting someplace on Google I'm unaware of but so far I remain clueless.
-
I usually use Chrome at home but not up here. I do have issues just getting to the site down there sometimes too. I've found refreshing the browser 2-3 times will often help or if that doesn't work go to another site 1st & that will help sometimes as well. It's been :snow2: coming down pretty steady here since ~ 8-8:30 but it's really kicked it up a notch again now. I can't even see our neighbor's places to the north up our road now. :crazy:
-
was just opening the door to check outside some... darn drift in front of the door!!!! so I'll have get out and clean that up... push on the gently so not to wreck it... :surrender:
-
How much snow do you have Mike? Glenn is it snowing there?
it was when i got home....seems to be on break now......caught the weather man on the #4......there saying another 1-4.
-
finally got the door open enough so I could get outside... so I just started cleaning up the snow... way more than I figured!!! and some decent sized drifts too... a couple a little higher than the auger... yes we are getting more, but I won't have so much to clean tomorrow... oh joy!! :rotflmao: :rotflmao:
-
The grass is greener after this precipitation. Good to see!
-
Just came in :snow4:, & it took a little more than hour with the wheeler to do what we normally do. I measured a couple spots, found 5" & that was before 2:30. Still comin down here too.
-
Been snowing for hours but still not enough to cover the grass.
-
Warm enough here that the snow is pretty much history. Checked the rain gauge at about 3:45 pm, right at 1.35" of rain. We'll take it. Still spitting drizzle.
Didn't get a chance to fire up the blower.
-
Just went out and grained Bucko. We have mayhaps 2" but can still see the grass.
-
If yer gonna run a blower down here in this latitude this winter tt, ya gotta be quick before it melts! :rotflmao:
-
Just went out and grained Bucko. We have mayhaps 2" but can still see the grass.
Comin down pretty good again here.
-
i've come to the conclusion this is the most snow we had al winter. got it cleaned up. deck was icy now wet!!!!!
-
It's right at the freezing mark here this morning. All the snow is gone but it sounds like we might get a little as the temp cools today. Have a good one all.
-
21 windy and still snowing... more drifts to clean up... but not as bad as it could be I guess...
-
That fine stuff again here, but coming down pretty good now. Could keep it up most of the day again. :rolleyes:
-
yea its snowing here to. maybe an inch overnight!!!! supposed to end today......Sue's worried about the roads......she has to see the neurologists in the cities tomorrow!!!!!! :surrender:
-
Lots of purple in the west metro on 511 right now, idiots won't slow down. :banghead:
-
Added up the totals so far with the recent precip. Since Saturday we're at 1.62" at the ranch, with a whopping 2.1" in Bugtussle. Nice to have the moisture and best of all, it only included 2" - 2.5" of snow. Virtually none of the precip ran off except from the streets in town. Supposed to pick up 1" - 3" of snow today as the temps fall into the low 20's by late afternoon.

They should have it all cleaned up by then Glenn. Roads were a bit dicey this morning, heard of lots of cars in the ditches. :crazy:
-
Ventured out to the burn barrel & the new shed, that wind is nasty. Looks like ~ another 3" here, so that's 8" total & it not s'posed to stop until mid to late afternoon.
-
snow is really slowing down now, not the wind...

man the snow clouds move and it sure got bright outside.. no sun but brighter!!!!
-
I fired up the little snow chucker when I got home, although the bigger one whoulda done a better job. It rained pretty good between 4 and 6 this morning, went on lunch break at 8, came out and it was snowing like crazy which didn't stop until I came home. After all the rain and temps dropping the pick em up was like an ice cube covered in snow this afternoon.
-
Still coming down here, kind of light though. :scratch: Must've gotten another inch...........or 2 since this morning. :confused:
-
some blue skies now
-
We had another 2 1/2" since I was out yday morning, so that's 3 1/2" yday, on top of the 5" we moved on Monday & the 3" overnight Monday. So, the total will be close to 12" by the time it wraps up today. :snow3: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

LOLOL That was pretty good. I see we will see sun tomorrow too. :happy1: :happy1: The slush on the river is a strange color. Kind of orangish yellowish.

Maybe where glenn dumped his squash & sweet potatoes... :scratch:
-
That would be about the color too. :happy1:
-
Hey gunner in your outside travels, is there a crust under the snow?
Went out and a good crust under about 4 inches of fluffy snow. Hard walking through it.
Shoveled a little hole where the garden is to put a Sheppard hook in, no frost. Mealworm feeder is up. :happy1:
-
I just came in from plowing. I was wondering if our frost went out before the last cold snap. All of our puddles were gone and it was drying up. I tried to keep my plow up some cuz I was scraping up sod etc. All done but I did turn up some dirt.
-
:scratch: I haven't been out other than the back of the garage yet today, glenn. The wind is kind of wicked today, but I'll see what the drive is like this afternoon..
-
roads were fairly well covered with ice when I left a little after 8 this morning... 2 1/2 hours later they were getting way better with the sun out... motion lotion was $3.35 today and my truck was thirsty...
-
Just got in here too, it took longer than I thought. Had a malfunction on the Husqvarna, the blower's winch cable snapped where it was probably rubbing on a shroud. Had extra cable on the winch though, so just had to put a new end on it. Pretty light fluffy stuff here & it's blowing around pretty good too. :scratch: Probably had 1' or more again in spots out back of the garage where it blows off the cabin roof. :rolleyes:
-
Amazing. It's like another planet down here & where you're at in IA gunner. Snow's gone entirely, has been for several days, ground is thawing where it's black, so it's kinda greasy on top. Poppy is tracking in mud when she's done chasing her squirrels. :coffee:

Wow......Baxter and Duluth got 25 inches last week. :thumbs: :thumbs:

This snow total map shows Baxter at just about 25 inches. The dark red right in the center.

As a wise man once said, good place for it... :coffee:
-
Still coming down here. The map has Marcell with 9.9 in just the last 24 hours & that's ~ 20 miles east & a little north of us. Northome says 11.6 too & that's ~ 35 miles NW of us. :rolleyes:
-
Finally quit snowing here. So the totals they predicted may not be too far off in some areas. I am sure we got about a foot here.
-
I got ours cleaned up today. We ended up with 10-12". Its hard to tell as the wind stacked it up pretty good in some areas. Had the lake not been open we would really have had some drifting. When plowing today it was coming off in sheets. Under the snow is powder dry.

Yeah sumthing not right with these reports. I think these may be spotter measurement reports and the guy in Baxter tells his wife he is 10" inches when she knows he's only 3"! :rotflmao: :rotflmao: It says only 3" in the St Cloud area and I'm easily looking at 8"-10" inches on my deck! :coffee:
-
Sounds about right.. :rotflmao: That NWS is about the most inaccurate of all but then it does say .GOV in their site name.
-
Well I’m in Baxter. I don’t know that we got 25”, but I bet it’s close to 20”.
-
Sounds about right.. :rotflmao: That NWS is about the most inaccurate of all but then it does say .GOV in their site name.
:scratch: I don't know, Accuweather is the 1 I hardly ever look at anymore. So, they'd get my vote for the worst. :rolleyes:
-
I switch from Accu weather to TWC.
-
I normally use Wunderground.com for daily weather. Also shows a good 10 day forecast.
-
Forecasters are all hit and miss to some extent. Most run hot and cold streaks. Usually use NWS for the near term & AccuWeather for farther out. Also combine some of the NOAA analysis products for week long precip amounts & likelihood. Find by doing that it helps smooth some of the bumps out in their forecasts. All kinds of guys I glance at on X including BAMX, Eric Snodgrass, SE Minnesota Weather, Minnesota/Wisconsin Weather, Capital Gang Weather & others. Used to enjoy Mark Seeley's take too but once he drank the climate change Kool Aid, he lost credibility.
I've noticed in the data collection & reporting we do for the MN Climatology Dept. that others seem to think it's some kind of contest, particularly when it comes to precipitation. That or they have really poor placement on their gauges. I also have a service on my phone called Climate FieldView that's supposed to tell you how much precip you got based off of radar. They also claim to combine it with observations from those of us recording precipitation. It has gotten better but usually misses the mark on the high side, sometimes by a lot. Their disclaimer is if you think their numbers are off, you should contact them so they can correct it. Seriously? You screw it up and I'm supposed to do your dirtywork for you? I don't think so. I tend to use their services for amusement purposes only.
-
for snow totals i like Johndee.com!!!!
otherwise i look at some of the others.....but just to get an idea!!!!!!
-
It says it has been snowing here for an hour. Not a flake and it was 45 degrees a few minutes ago.
-
no rain or snow here, yet anyway.... radar shows it's in the area, just hitting the ground I guess
-
32 over here in Warroad. Can't see outside though to see if it is snowing
-
Down to 42 here now.
-
Ok I hate to admit it but it is 36 and snowing pretty good right now. :confused:
-
36 and a few rain drops so far...
-
I've been putting it off for as long as I can. I think this week I'll run all the gas out of the new snowblower.
Should I change the oil after running it?
-
Talking some passing light rain or snow showers today. Should get back at pruning apple trees depending on how ambitious I feel. Could be a glenn nap in the way... :coffee:

wife has family friends that is a doctor went up there for a while to practice......a Dr Bob Gardner!!

Looks like we're getting better rainfall than was anticipated just 24 hrs. ago. There's a band of orange that showed up in the radar loop & appears to be for real judging by the pitter patter on the roof. If I hadn't had so much coffee I might be doing my glenn impression & looking for a place to nap out back in the warehouse! :coffee:
Added up the precip for March at the ranch and in Bugtussle. At first glance not impressive but more to it than meets the eye. At the ranch we garnered 1.78" of liquid equivalent precip which included 3.1" of snow. In Bugtussle, we measured 2.33" of liquid equivalent precip & included 2.6" of snow. Normal for March at the SROC in Waseca is 2.25" and 9.0" respectively. We were fortunate that our soils were thawed sufficiently for this water to soak in for crop growth. The bad news is it hasn't done much hydrologically speaking so ponds, lakes & streams are all still very low. Careful what you wish for as they say. I still remember the DNR telling people back in 1988 that water levels would never recover from that drought. Within 5 - 7 years, people's lake homes were suddenly underwater! I remember looking at an island cabin for sale on Long Lost Lake south of Zerkel in that timeframe. Pretty spot & no one was there, but we could see water starting to seep in thru the sliding glass door. Nope. :doah:
-
No rain at 8 but had some light rain at ~ 9:30 when I came back to the car. :happy1: :cool:
-
I remember that dry year well Dotch. I lived on the very north side of Stillwater and had a houseboat at the Marina a block or two away. Minnetonka was drying up so boats couldn't launch at the accesses so they all came to the St. Croix. It sucked. I called it the year we felt like being in a warshing machine due to all of the boat traffic. AND yes 2 years later the lake filled right back up.
-
I remember 1988 well to. I graduated high school that year and was working for a house framer down in Chanhassen. Boy was it hot. We lived in Rogers and farmed there. We got a whopping 40 bu to the acre corn that year. I went to work at Spancrete in Osseo by the end of that summer. The traffic drove me nuts coming home from Chanhassen.
-
It was spittin a little snow when I came home about a 1/2 hour ago. Gonna stay to warm though...........'til tonight.
-
Ya '88 was a year to remember. It'd get so hot by about 1 or 2 in the afternoon, we'd just quit looking at fields and go back home to sit in the AC. Crop was a disaster anyway. Boxelder bugs were awful, even worse than this past year.
Weather's still messing around here, chilly, drizzly & damp. It's got the ground soaked up pretty good. There's been some water standing on headlands in spots. Most are content to have the rain and wait. Some bought up early planting insurance so they could plant in March and receive $40/acre if they had to replant. Looks like that was a waste of money. This is what happens when you make decisions based on emotions and gut feelings. :doah:
-
getting or got a blend of rain snow and very small hail in the last hour... always interesting April weather...
-
Today, tomorrow, & Sunday are the only days in the 10-day still in the 40's here. Almost 60 by next Monday/Tuesday & close to 70 by that weekend.
-
Another little dab of moisture overnite here, now breezy today with gusts up over 40 mph. Supposed to warm into the weekend with more rain Sunday into Monday. They've backed it down temp-wise tho. Had seen some 60's for highs in earlier forecasts by early next week but now it's 50's. Maybe 60's for that next weekend but with increased chances for rain.

Fire conditions will be elevated in 32 Minnesota counties Saturday afternoon thanks to dry conditions and strong winds.
Because of that, the National Weather Service has issued a Red Flag Warning for the following counties from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday:
Becker, Big Stone, Brown, Chippewa, Clay, Cottonwood, Douglas, Grant, Jackson, Kandiyohi, Kittson, Lac Qui Parle, Lincoln, Lyon, Marshall, Martin, Murray, Nobles, Norman, Pipestone, Polk, Pope, Redwood, Renville, Rock, Stevens, Swift, Traverse, Wadena, Watonwan, Wilkin, and Yellow Medicine.
-
my phone has the RedFlag warning for here in Stearns cty also.........so no fire today!!!!!! :surrender:
-
Got 'er here too. Winds gusting over 35 mph. You'd think with all those big fans they put up they could blow it back the other direction... :scratch:
-
Looks like it's going to be windy right through till late Sunday night.
-
We got those on our phones yesterday and LOW was included then. The wife won't let me have a fire now.

when i looked at the weather this morning i noticed the fire danger warning up there also....says till 11 am today!
i was kinda surprised when i looked at the webcams the sun was peeking out between the clouds!!!
-
According to the late news we had gusts to 45 yday.
-
There was a breeze here yesterday. But I didn't think it was terribly windy out on the lake.
-
Still blowing hard & gusting to 35 mph. Scattered showers moving thru. When reading my moth traps this a.m. I got on the west side of the windbreak & it was downright calm. Barry could have his fire there! Expecting .25" - .5" of rain so he'd have to bring his umbrella 🌂
-
winds about 20 mph and been raining softly for a couple hours so far... looks like it could rain for a few more hours too....
-
I love a rainy day as long as they aren't too many days in a row. My Dad does too. Well it is 52 here. We just cut up a dead elm that was in the driveway ditch. Hauled most of it to our campfire pit. The wife may be weakening. She asked if I was going to light it. LOLOL Maybe later. The ground is really wet in the trees yet. :sleazy:
-
Raining here now harder then all morning. Looks like some grapple to.
-
Fed the bottle lamb about a half hour ago. Looked like ~.1" of rain so far. Haven't stuck the smaller central cylinder in the gauge yet. Chicken that it might freeze until later in the month.
-
Sun still shining here with a little bit of clouds. 8 mph breeze off of the lake.
-
still raining with some snow mixed in for good measure....
-
A lull in the action here. Raining very lightly.
-
Been raining here all afternoon with more tonight.
-
Got a small cell going through, quite a bit of thunder.
-
1 inch in the rain gage this morning.
-
We had about 1/4 inch or so.
-
Between yesterday and last nite, .54" at the ranch & .62" in Bugtussle. 50% chance of rain again tonite & again Thursday. People are starting to get antsy. Some talk of giving 'er hell planting already on Saturday. More moisture out here than they think. Ample moisture has snuck up on what was a dry spring suddenly. We've received 3.6" in Bugtussle since March 22nd & 2.9" at the ranch, on top of what accumulated since the crop was mature last fall. It's been cool and aside from Saturday, hasn't dried much. Won't dry much today either, minimal drying tomorrow, Wed. looks promising then clouds and rain Thursday. I think they need to take a pill, wait until it's fit & see what conditions are like then.
-
I had 0.32" in our rain gauge this morning. Not much but we'll take it. Not that I have much say in the matter anyway.

It's raining! Not hard just a light steady rain. Been doing it for an hour. I do have the gauge out too.

Still a light steady rain with no wind. Just grained Bucko so I brought the snow shovel to its resting site till next winter. :sleazy:
-
:scratch: It looks like we've got a little early taste of summer coming here his weekend. The 10-day says 77 for Saturday, 81 for Sunday, & 73 for Monday. With a good chance (80%) of some thunderstorms on Monday night.
-
Didn't see any of the sprinkles they had in the forecast yesterday altho it looked like it might a few times. Some lite rain on tap for tomorrow, late morning into afternoon. Looks like nice thru Monday then some significant precip coming Monday nite into Tues. & early Wed. a.m. Also supposed to cool down with highs in the 50's and lows in the 30's. Ground was still real tacky on the N side of the grove when I read the cutworm & armyworm traps this a.m. Tracked mud onto the driveway from the Gator.
Don't think I'd be real antsy about planting a lot of corn just yet. See what Sun. & Mon. look like. Run the planter thru a shakedown on a 40 or an 80 if it's fit then see where it's at. No reason to assume a huge amount of unnecessary risk. There is a reason the planting date for replant coverage on Federal Crop Insurance is set at April 10th. Calendar date still matters. It's still very early. Do it once and do it right.
-
man with all the nice weather the last few days it's nice to see the grass greening up, tulips popping up, again!!! my chives are coming back in very nice!!! and all the birds!!! just have to get the rain gauge out again!!
-
and the wind is kicking up!!! :rotflmao: :rotflmao:
-
Raining up here. But I'm tuckered out. Close to ni-nite time anyhoo.
-
Nice showers thru the area this a.m. Not amounting to a lot of rain but put the brakes on some of the guys who were talking yesterday about working ground already this afternoon. Was out finishing the fruit tree pruning last nite. Ground in our yard was pretty damp yet when I was on my hands and knees cutting the suckers around the base of the trees. Real muddy on the north side of the grove yet especially after this rain. On the south facing slope last nite, could've been gardening. :cool:
-
:pouty: went to checkin on Wren on the #5 but no luck!!!!!! :confused: :rotflmao: but dang there talking 1-2 inches of rain between tuesday and wed........
lakes really need it .....hope they get all of that up north. now that i'm not there!!!! :evil: :happy1:
-
I hope they do too. Lakes are down here as well. Buddy put his dock out a week or so ago on Beaver Lake. Had to start a fair distance out from where it normally is. We are making some headway tho. Tile are running & I had water in the wetland tonite when I checked. Some planters rolled today. Working the bugs out so once this next weather system goes thru, it's game on.
-
Just checked the 10-day for up at the lake & it sayin 50 % chance of showers Tuesday afternoon. Tuesday night rain chances at 90% with around a 1/4" possible. Light rain(70%) early Wednesday & cloudy in the pm. Slight chance, 40%, of some showers Wednesday night too. I dug 1 of our new 10' sections out the edge of the woods when we were up last time as I'm pretty sure we're going to need it when our dock goes in. :scratch: Hope, we don't need the other 10' pc too. :rolleyes:
-
Gunner..depending on how shallow your shoreline is i'm betting you will.
when i went to visit that Eric on bowstring i'll bet he gained a good 15 ft on shoreline!!!! and from what i've seen most of bowstrings shoreline is a slow gradual drop like the 35 access!!
-
Topped out yesterday at 86 in Waseca with 84 in Owatonna & Albert's Leaf. 87 on the Buick & the slightly less than reliable ranch thermometer. Good chances of rain starting tomorrow nite, expecting amounts of 1.25" - 1.5" here. Grass is greening up nicely & the trees are getting a light greenish hue. :coffee:
-
:scratch: Our shoreline is pretty steep, it's 18 steps to get down to the dock, so it drops off pretty quick. By the time the boat comes off the lift I'm normally in at least 6-8 fow. We shall see. I talked to a guy a few years ago that had just bought 1 of those places between Geiger's & the NW access & he said his place came with 200' of dock. He went on to say that the year he bought the place the boat lift wasn't usable. :doah:

yea come to think of it sand does have a pretty decent drop to the lake around most of it. usually means a decent drop into the lake.
my brother likes to fish little sand and head up into the river up towards rice lake......betting first he wont be using the public access by the bridge or heading up river... we have both used the resort access at times!!!!!
-
Which resort, the 1 on the east side or the Anchor Inn's? :scratch:
-
pretty sure the Anchor inn. its on the west and north side of the bridge!!! last time there it was run by an older couple!!!!
-
Yeah, they're on the west side, That has just changed hands in the last couple years. Got some people by us now that used to be in that campground on the other side & they told us we just had to try the Anchor Inn's Chili Cheese dogs. The neighbor really likes 'em so we went up there 1 time last year. The Chili Cheese dogs were really good & the owner's were super nice. We had a couple beers & chatted while we waited, they're from Wisconsin originally. The people they bought it from were the original owners & had been there forever. Very friendly, nothing was microwaved so it took a bit but I'm sure we'll be going back again this year, at least once. :happy1: :cool:
-
radar is showing rain just west of here... maybe rain in Alex.....
-
Raining here & it looks like this round will be done by 7 or so. Another round of strong storms & wind, 20-30 gusts to 45, is expected by about 1. :scratch: The worst is s'posed to stay just south of us, tornado chances there. Still talking 1-2" here.
-
rain here too and it could be around for awhile... I'm OK with that!!!
-
Rain! And guess which moron forgot to set up the rain barrels? You just can't trust them old people. Good grief.

It really picked up again here now. (ThT means its raining hard again tangle).

:rotflmao: :rotflmao:

If it was about 10° and all this rain was snow, I could use my new snowblower. I guess I could use it now. I would just look real stupid running through mud puddles with a snowblower.

"Pitchforks and hammer handles"? I've never heard that one before.
:pouty: TT, they just talk kinda funny down in the hooterville area! :shocked: :rotflmao:
-
Funny you should mention that tt, they actually used to test IH snowblowers in Hamilton ON on Lake Ontario! Take 'em out in about 3' of water & let 'er buck! A lot harder to blow water & harder on the parts so they were given the acid test. A lot of IH #80 snowblowers still in use out here some 40 years later including mine.
So far just over an inch in Bugtussle. Center tube is just ready to overflow into the outer cylinder. Been coming through in waves for about the last hour and a half. Will be more this afternoon but looks like the heavier stuff will be tracking to the west of here.

rain has picked up as the day has gone on... birdbath was rather low this morning and it's almost full now... even have some standing water in the yard!!!
-
Decent rainfall so far. ~ 1.5" in Bugtussle & .85" at the ranch. Thought maybe the gauge at the ranch was in error. When I 1st got home, there was only .35" in it. But looking at the birdbath there, it was right in line. It got filled up after I fed the bottle lamb & had a little lunch. Another quarter inch forecast yet this afternoon & a half inch more for tonite. May have to sneak back home & catch up on my Gunsmoke reruns.

We hit some pretty heavy rain just as we hit 494W yday & it didn't really let up much until we were almost to GR. Quite a bit of water in the ditches leaving Deer River too.
-
still windy and with some snow now...
-
had some grapple a bit ago........looks like the sun wants out now!!!!! :happy1:
-
Gets almost sunny and then snows again. Earlier we couldn't see Canada it was snowing so hard with big flakes. Sunny again now but only 37.
-
The neighbor called ~ 1:30, so I went over to check his rain gauge when I looked to see if we had any mail. He's got a fancy digital 1, it said .389" when I reset it. He went home Saturday. Got a couple small patches of blue sky here now.
-
SO may see 60ish today and winds only 5 W gusting to 8. The wife has a fire all built, all it needs is a match. It is in the fire pit. I could even turn the water on to camp and we would have our safety water program ready to go. The line is about 2 - 2 1/2 feet deep. Will be fun to see if there are any pockets of water that didn't get blown out that is froze yet.

LPS....we have a garden hose from the pump to the fish cleaning house.......in the fall we blow it out then run antifreeze through it....never no issues!!! and its not very deep either..i helped mom bury it!!!
just a suggestion for this fall!!!!!! :happy1: :happy1:

I did think of the antifreeze thing. I blew it out with my compressor and it really blew too. I got the roll of the blue stuff from the well drilling company. They said I could leave it full of water and let it freeze and it wouldn't hurt it. Not willing to take that chance. It was a fun project.

Gettin a little rain here. :cool:

getting some rain here now
-
Severe clear so far this a.m. Could be some light showers blowing thru after lunch but nothing measurable expected. Likely be significant rain coming Friday thru the weekend. Hammer down!
-
Got about .2 of an inch here overnight. Really poured for 15 min or so.
-
We had another 10-15-minute light shower yday am, Duluth weather guy was talking today about parts of the area possibly getting 2" this weekend. Let 'er buck............................. we could use it!!
-
A light shower went thru about lunchtime yesterday. Otherwise, nada. I see NWS/NOAA are dicking with the weather app (sorta) thingy I've had on my phone forever. Don't know if they're discontinuing it entirely or if they'll be replacing it. More Build Back Better! :huh:
-
really lite rain started about 1/2 hour ago... getting a bit more now and things are getting wet... still windy too...
-
I got the fertilizer and grass over-seed down last week. Come on rain and warmer temps. :angel:

It is already 63 so warmer than predicted. Some clouds showing up and it is windy as he77. The buds on the trees are really popping.
-
Still chilly here altho the rain stopped. .07" earlier & added another .32" in Bugtussle to the total since ~8 a.m. Expecting more rain this afternoon and tonite. Still 45 degrees tho... :scratch:

Some light stuff as we were leaving GR around noon & it was a little more serious as we left DR again, but it was done by the time we got out here ~1.
-
raining pretty good here now!!!!!!!! :happy1:

yea picked up here to a couple hours ago, bird bath is full again!!! wind seems to have gone down some too..
-
Sure sounds bad in Iowa.
-
never good news any where
-
Checked our rain gauge just after 5:00 pm. Right at 0.6" of rain.
-
Just under an inch
-
We have 1.4" here so far. A million worms out, only seen two nightcrawlers. :happy1:
-
going with 1.4 here too...

roony always gets more up there & not just rain! :sleazy: Storm total .44" at the ranch & .51" in Bugtussle. Supposed to hold off until the early morning hours & rain more tomorrow. Auntie Mar Mar's church has a meatball dinner tomorrow. Could be a nap day. 😴
-
About 1/2 inch rain the last day or so. No more expected again until tomorrow night.
-
The neighbor's gauge had .839" more this morning than when I looked at yday ~ 3-3:30.
-
i got back about noon from the new london hawick area......struck out on aspargus but good gawd is there water standing all over the place. :surrender: when i talked to my buddy.....they had over 3 inches north of Regal!!!

Anybody ever put up one of those big rain gauges that looks like a 2' long piece of clear 1-1/2" PVC? It's got big red numbers on it. For those of us that are visibly impaired.
I bought one a couple weeks ago. Finally got around to putting it up. Just for giggles, I put 4" of rain water in our old gauge and poured it in to the new gauge. There must be a trick to reading it. The 4" brought the new gauge up to less than 1/2".
What am I doing wrong? Did I waste $15? I bought it the same day we bought our hunt/fish/trap licenses so maybe I was just in a good mood.
-
those usually have a wide mouth to catch more water, like a bird bath.. so it catches more water to make come out right... so yes I have had them and they work good...
-
I was thinking the same thing Mike.
-
OK. Why does 4" from the old gauge come out to less than 1/2" in the new, big gauge?
-
i like those cause i can read em from a long way away.
-
OK. Why does 4" from the old gauge come out to less than 1/2" in the new, big gauge?
as I said it's because of the wide mouth on the big one, it catches more water to justify the measurement...
Rain gauge size determines the repeatability and also the accuracy of a rain gauge. The larger the opening, the lower the statistical error in measurements in real-world applications. Always choose the largest size that your budget allows.
-
what Mike said!!!!!! :happy1:
TT think of it this way..........the standard, small glass rain gauge is how wide on top, 1/2 to 3/4 inch and that size all the way down. so it doesnt take as many drops or rain to fill it up, on the other hand when you put a gauge out that is 1 1/2 inches wide.....it takes alot more rain drops to fill if, but is marked or measured to be accurate.
so......... if your taking an object thats say 1/2 inch in diameter full of water and then dumping it into something thats an 1 1/2 in diameter....its not going to be the same!!!!!
-
Iffn you have a 5 gallon pail outside and it rains an inch the water in there will be an inch deep. Dump it in a rain gauge and I'm thinking it would overflow. Get it?

.77" at the ranch & .71" in Bugtussle the past 24 hrs. Rainfall total for the month so far is 3.82" at the ranch & 4.73" in Bugtussle. Luckily the website where we report data keeps a running total. I'm too lazy to tally it up otherwise.
roony & mikey are correct when it comes to how gauges work. The "official" gauges we use are plexiglass and consist of an inner and outer cylinder. The catch diameter is 4". In the non-freezing months, we use an inner cylinder that's ~ 1 3/8" diameter to catch the rain collected by the 4" diameter funnel. It's calibrated down to hundredths and will measure up to an inch of liquid precip. Once it goes over an inch, there's a notch on the backside of the inner cylinder that allows the overflow to be collected in the outer 4" cylinder. The inner cylinder precip is recorded & emptied, then the remainder of the precip from the outer cylinder is poured into the inner cylinder for a precise measurement. Like roony mentioned, you could take a ruler and measure it but since the MN Climatology Dept. wants the data recorded in hundredths, that's what we do. When the weather starts freezing, we remove the inner cylinder so it doesn't crack and measure the precip captured in the outer cylinder. Sometimes that involves thawing frozen precip indoors then measuring it with the inner cylinder. We won't discuss measuring snowfall as that gets to be more of an art than a science.
Here is where the data we collect is recorded. If you go to "Browse" on this page, you can type in the county of the data you desire to see and burn all kinds of free time.

-
thinking I could use a new rain gauge, the paint for the lines and numbers is not good... generally I broke them before this...
-
One thing I have noticed is that rainfall and snowfall amounts can vary a lot over a short distance. In fact I have one neighbor who always has more rain at his place than anyone else. He is also 5 degrees hotter in the summer and colder in the winter than anyone else.
-
isn't there someone like that everywhere?? :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

ended up with 2 1/2 inches.........didnt dump it out from the first round so thats that total!!!

isn't there someone like that everywhere?? :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:
Amen to that mikey! I wish I had a dollar for every time someone in town with their 1/2" diameter 50-year old seed corn rain gauge has told me, "You had to have more rain than that! My gauge said bla bla bla!" Never mind they have it mounted under a tree where the leaves funnel rain into the gauge or they forgot to dump it from three rains ago. :doah: The latter is why we measure every 24 hrs. It's always been dumped. No question, the amounts often vary too. The two official gauges we monitor are identical but ~6 miles apart. Very seldom do they read exactly the same. On half mile long fields, have scouted some on 4 wheeler over the years after a rain. It's bone dry on one end but you can get stuck on the other. :embarrassed:
Measuring snow is a crapshoot even with a gauge opening diameter of 4". Sometimes if there's no wind, which is seldom, it's pretty close. In town, that happens more frequently when double checked with a ruler or yardstick around the lot. Most of the time at the ranch where it's always windy, I have to take the yardstick and measure depth numerous places around the yard where it's flat to get an average. Sidewalk works sometimes, sometimes the feeders in the lot are better depending on wind direction. To get the liquid equivalent, we do what's known as cutting a biscuit. You find a representative area in a level spot, take the 4" outer cylinder, stick it open end down in the snow, then slip a sheet of plastic or metal under it like a spatula. Tip it up and take it inside to melt out. There again, sidewalk, picnic table, or some other hard, level surface work best for that measurement. You don't want a gauge full of crap other than snow.

Looks like we're in the Lawrence Welk rain pattern. Ah one and a two... :whistling: Rain expected this afternoon into the evening, starting up again tomorrow nite thru Thursday, then a good chance on Monday again with lesser chances in between. Expected 7-day accumulations of ~2". Might see some sun Friday & Sunday.

slowly getting cloudy...

Ya it was good while it lasted. It was overcast by noon. Some showers in IA could show up here by mid-afternoon if they hang together.

Mostly sunny here yet. Must he my clean livin! :happy1:
But clouds are rolling in slowly

Got most of my lawn mowed for the first time. Just started raining. Gonna rain all overnight.

1.03" at the ranch & .74" in the Bugtussle gauge. Totaled rainfall up for April. 3.82" at the ranch & 4.73" in Bugtussle. Add the .178" & 2.33" respectively from March to those totals and it paints a picture of a soil moisture profile that's full while making some headway on climbing out of the hydrologic drought we were under. Shallow wetlands are full again, rivers and streams are running full with lake levels starting to recover somewhat. Yep dutchy, it was fun while it lasted without the mosquitoes. They'll be back with a vengeance I have a feeling.

Had 1.14" in Bugtussle ~8:15 a.m. and .94" at the ranch at 7:30 a.m. Some showers still passing thru as of 10 a.m. We'll have some leftovers to measure for tomorrow. Talking to my buddy on Beaver Lake, he said it looks like the lake has come up ~5". The drought is indeed over, at least for now. :coffee:

After all the belly aching, complaining and whining I did about my new , easy to read rain gauge, I'm going out tomorrow and getting a real rain gauge. That big sucker just doesn't do it for me.
Go ahead. Let me have what for. I deserve it.

The wrens probably pointed out the asparagus to the deer... :coffee:
Got a little breeze blowing so it should help dry things off some before it rains again tomorrow a.m.. Not supposed to rain a lot but anything that keeps it from drying off is halting planting progress. Lotsa ponds in fields yet this a.m. Sunday sounds nice with rain likely again Monday nite. .24" more in the gauge at the ranch bringing our storm total for yesterday to 1.18". .09" in Bugtussle so 1.23" total here.

lite rain the last couple hours

looks like about .75 of rain over night...
-
.74 is what we ended up with by the end of the day yesterday. That was from Thursday night to Friday night. The ditches and Creeks are flowing good here now. The lake is starting to come up.
-
We wound up with about an inch and a half the last week.
-
Just tallied our rainfall the past 7 days. We've had 3.74" at the ranch and 3.66" in Bugtussle. A lot of cash grain farmers in disbelief that it could suddenly be so wet as dry as it was this winter. True, it was a dry winter. However, we don't usually count on snow melt to recharge our soil moisture. Most years the ground is frozen and much of it runs off or collects in lakes and wetlands. We had generous precip after the crop was mature last fall the latter half of September and for the month of October. Then we got additional rainfall in December when the ground wasn't frozen. Any snow melt we had this winter went into the ground, perhaps an inch-worth in the local area. More rainfall accumulated in March and April before anything was planted. Talking to Soil Scientist Jeff Vetsch from the SROC back in mid-February, his calculations indicated that our top 2' of soil was already 80% full. Doesn't take a genius to figure it out. They're starting to get antsy which usually means it's time for me to get out the bullhorn and talk them down off the ledge. Still plenty of time and a plentiful supply of adapted corn hybrids and soybean varieties. These heavy clay loam soils from the Des Moines lobe can try your patience at planting time but they're a godsend when the chips are down come July and August.

Yeah, well if you hadn't planted in January we'd be talking you off the ledge!
-
:rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:
They keep me in a padded room and only let me out on special occasions... :coffee:
-
.1 this morning and a rain shower going on now...
-
looks like about .4 total here today
-
.07" here today
-
Drizzly enough to get the deck wet a few times but nothing in the gauge.
-
:scratch: A friend from the other side of town told me he had just a whisker under 1" this morning.
-
.48 here today. Really poured hard for a few minutes.
-
Brother's phone started going off at the same time, officially 1:11, as the sirens. It was a Tornado Warning & a twister had been spotted on the ground 6-8 miles south of the fairgrounds. Which is ~ 1 mile SW of town & it was moving SE. The Warning expired at 1:45. :crazy:
-
That is too close. Those tornados are scary as heck. I have seen quite a few but no damages to far. Haven't seen any up here. Most were by Luverne.
-
I saw HD say something about frost tonight. It just went up to 72 here and just a little breeze. Wonderful night. Only gonna get down to 48 here tonight.
-
:scratch: Guess, there's no comfirmation that it actually touched down.............yet. Another .5" today according to the early news, so that's 1.5" in last 2 days.
-
Just after 6 this morning it started to rain a little and the wind went from dead calm to instant 25 mph out of the north. Crazy. We got into Warroad and the sand on the streets was blowing around. Thought I was in Dubai all the sudden. Mother nature sure can switch on a dime.
-
Morning news said we have a chance of rain late this afternoon or early evening but the hourly shows 20% chance at the most. They're sayin 73 tomorrow & 83 for Sunday with the next chance of rain here being Wednesday pm. Still no reports of the twister reaching the ground or any reports of damage, that I know of. :happy1: The channel 6 news called it a "Landspout" :scratch: this morning. :confused:
-
seen we have a fire weather warning for today. windy and low humidity.........still thinkin fire is in order for tonight. think they said NWN wind....fire ring is in the back the house should block most of it!!!!!! :happy1:
-
Raining here so may as well take er easy. Thinking scrambled eggs with sausage and lots of cheese, onions too. :sleazy:
-
mostly blue skies here...
-
Some higher clouds but mostly sunny here w/a 20% chance of rain this afternoon. Had a few sprinkles on the way to Otisco last nite but nothing measurable. With the breezy conditions forecast today, could be some field activity by tomorrow afternoon in places. Slight chance for rain Sunday & Monday afternoon, then rain likely Tuesday nite into Wed. Should offer an opportunity for folks to finish remaining corn planting and make a huge dent in the soybeans.
-
It is sunny now and a beautiful day.
-
Kind of weather related. Daughter in Red Wing and friends near Bigfirk are seeing northern lights. We’re heading to the boat landing on the other side of the lake to see if we can catch them.
-
Did get a 10 minute shower yday, ~ 4:30.
-
A tad bit smoky here this morning. :happy1:
[attachment deleted by admin]
-
2nd that Mark!!!
-
Have pushed our rain chances back into Wed. nite now. Coverage is expected to be light. Good thing. Still a lot of people in denial about how wet it suddenly became here. Sure, we get a warm day now and then but stringing together days in the mid to upper 70's has been like pulling teeth. When you toss in a bunch of cloudy days and the fact it's been starting from the mid-40's a lot of mornings, doesn't take long to realize why it isn't drying out as quickly as people would like. That and over 11" of rain since March 1st. Smoky here today also. Lots of people hacking like they need to change brands.
-
slowly clearing up here...
-
Here too. Not too smoky now.
-
I saw on noon news that the smoke is going south of us and west of us so you guys are getting it but not us.
-
Hazy down here but isn't stinking like it did. Maybe staying aloft more? :scratch:
-
It was hazy here yday too, 'til ~ 5:30-6>
-
Smoke appears to be outta here for now. The NWS has upped our predicted rainfall amounts from a tenth to a quarter inch to a quarter to a half inch for tomorrow nite.
-
I thought I would get some mowing in and it got kind of cool and dark clouds and sure enough I get rained out. Darn. Will finish tomorrow I guess.
-
Another .84" at the ranch & .69" in Bugtussle overnite. NWS had stuck with us getting only a tenth to a quarter. Had .07" at the ranch at 9:15 last nite then it rained hard for a while after that. Kind of a double-edged sword. Should help corn that was struggling to emerge but it made some of the areas that need to be replanted too wet again so that will have to wait. That was a large part of the problem to begin with. Where the corn came up well it really looks good. Since May 1st, the SROC in Waseca is tracking about 23% ahead of normal on GDU's. Combined with the ample rainfall it's no wonder things are growing like they are. More rain forecast Sunday nite then again possibly Monday nite thru Tuesday. Wish I had more garden in but it's fast ground on a south facing slope. It'll happen. :coffee:
-
We had a little over 2 inches here yesterday and last night. Needed it. Garden and lawns look good. :happy1: :happy1:
-
Had maybe 1/2 inch the last 2 nights here at the cabin.
-
1/2 inch here last night. Lots of thunder between 1 and 2 o'clock.
-
We had 94% humidity here by ~ 9:00 today, then the wind kicked in. :rolleyes:
-
We had 94% humidity here by ~ 9:00 today, then the wind kicked in. :rolleyes:
WOW!!! that's high!!! I think it might have hit 70 here and low humidity...
-
The wind got howling today. The big whitecaps on the river even had the water blowing off the top of them.
-
:scratch: The Duluth station is saying 3" for GR & over 3.5" for Bemidi from the rain that is s'posed to start late tomorrow morning. :happy1: :cool: Hope they're right, as the lake here can still easily handle that.
-
1 to 3 here possibly
got maybe .1 last night
-
Hope we get rain at home. Just looked at the weather channel app... didn't oak like that much rain either places. :scratch:
Best get om the lake today, looks wet the next few days
-
.14" at the ranch & .21" in Bugtussle the past 24 hrs. Had .05" at the ranch in midafternoon then another .09" overnite. A little tacky to perform any field operations not to mention not being able to see the wet spots until it's too late. Sounds like more on tap for tonite into tomorrow. According to NOAA, we could receive another 1.75" over the next 7 days. Also looks like some areas that have been shorted might get some major rain to help get things caught up.
https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/qpf/p120i.gif?1716215761
-
some lite rain just came thru here.. we will see how much we get by tomorrow later...
-
Talking 1ta 2 inches here tomorrow. Got plenty to do in the big shed, beer cooler will bee restocked. Bring it. :happy1:

Tornado by Claremont just over an hour ago!
damn not good!!!
-
Scary as heck. Good thoughts for the people there.
-
Just east of Owatonna.
-
1 to 2 inches here tomorrow also. More east if here.
Weather forecast from Bring Me The News.....
A flood watch has been issued for a vast area of Minnesota ahead of potentially severe storms on Tuesday that will bring torrential rain to the state.
The seven-county Twin Cities metro is among the areas included in the flood watch, with the National Weather Service warning that "excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations."
The watch area extends to numerous counties in central, south-central, east-central and northeastern Minnesota, where there is the chance that in excess of three inches of rain will fall.
-
Weather channel is predicting over an inch here. Time will tell.
-
rain now and still predicting 1 to 2 inches total... less than 1/2 inch so far
-
We had .9" overnight. Could be a bunch more coming they say.
-
No rain yet, TWC's site says ~10. Got a Flood Watch though. The Duluth stations rainfall map has backed off a little & had GR with just < 2" total as well as Bemidji down to ~ 3" now. :scratch: They're talking some really big wind, gusts to 60 with tornadoes possible, to their east along the south shore of Superior near the UP today. :confused:
-
They are calling that tornado a landspout equivalent to an EF0 tornado. I hadn't heard of that before. I still wouldn't want to have it go through my place!
-
2nd that!!! :happy1:
-
Rain started here ~ 9:30.
-
Some spectacular light shows around last nite but not a lot of rain here. Some hail & 1.5" up near Janesville last nite around 11 p.m. Only .16" at the ranch & .20" in Bugtussle. Brother west of Cedar Fallls in IA measured 3.8" overnite & it was raining again this a.m. They were dry however, having missed when we got hit more times than not. Collected ~ another .20" here in town this a.m. so far so it's staying on the wet side. NWS forecast still calling for 1" - 2" here for today, potentially some severe stuff later this afternoon. Looks like we get a breather for a couple days then rain on tap again starting Thursday nite. Great mosquito weather...🦟 🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟
-
As of 11:00 this morning, we had .3" of rain in the old gauge. By 11:30, the sun was trying to poke through.
A gal I know in northern Indiana lost some trees, and a shed and lost power last night. No clue when they'll get power back.
-
We got us a tornader watch... :coffee:
[attachment deleted by admin]
-
dats not good!!
-
Nuttin like that here. Hope it doesn't materialize for you fellers.
Only 54 here and already over 1/2 of rain. Gotta take the long way around from cabin to shed. :shocked: puddles galore.
May need to commence :drinking: shortly. :rotflmao: :happy1:
-
I'll take a major blizzard over a tornado. But tornadoes are more fun to chase.
-
Nothing here yet. When I look at the radar on Accu it shows its raining here. It is hazy out. Think it is breaking up right before it gets here. Happens a lot.
-
Wind starting to pick up some here. 3pm.
-
we have 1.10" in gauge now and still coming down nicely. :happy1: :happy1:
-
Checked ours @ 2:30 & it looked like ~.8" then to me. A steady rain here too, the hourly says it might be 9 or 10 tomorrow before it lets up. :cool:
-
Just started raining here and it is calm, very calm.
-
At an inch here and it's still coming down good.
-
According to a post on IDO Sheldon (Iowaboy1) sustained flooding to his business. My thoughts and prayers are with them.

Oh no what a shame for him. I hope he lets us know about it. Thinking of you Sheldon.
-
According to a post on IDO Sheldon (Iowaboy1) sustained flooding to his business. My thoughts and prayers are with them.
damn.. I hope it isn't bad. :confused:
-
Sorry to hear this. Best wishes to him.
Here we had .9" in the gauge this morning and another 1.8 so far today. One thing we definitely don't need is any more damn rain!
-
over an inch easy here so far....
-
I hope it is not bad either. Thinking of him.
-
Hope Iowaboy comes out of it OK. Another .92" in the gauge after chores. roony always gets more rain than we do... :pouty: Oh wait, that's a good thing right now! :doah:
-
He posted photo's over there if anybody wants to look. It's in the weather thread.
-

I seen the pictures he posted. That man doesn't deserve that sh!t. :confused:
-
Nobody does. Hopefully his tools are high & dry.
-
At about 4:00 this afternoon, we had 2.8" in the gauge. Still raining. Farm fields around me are flooding. One bean field was planted Sunday.
-
We had 1.50" in the gauge this morning. :happy1: :happy1:
-
We had 1.50" in the gauge this morning. :happy1: :happy1:
same amount up here! Purty wet to do much outdoors and more expected later.
May have to resort to cleaning the cabin. :shocked: :doah:
-
The wind is howling here. Still raining but not real hard.
-
.90 inches here yesterday. Needs to dry out now so I can finish planting my garden. Tomatoes, Peppers, corn, Zuchinni, squash, and cucumbers.
-
Just heard that they think a small tornado went through about 2 1/2 miles southeast of me. Mostly tree damage i guess. I'm going to look after a bit. No wind damage here.
-
We had 1.50" in the gauge this morning. :happy1: :happy1:
same here...
-
Rainfall totals were .93" at the ranch & 1.37" in Bugtussle the past 24 hrs. Not the heaviest totals but this ain't a coffee shop contest, it's data. The rainfall data trended lighter as one travels east. Ellendale reported only .71" with Grand Meadow showing only .65". OMG for mosquitoes last nite after dark. Went out to feed the bottle lamb at 9:30. Opened the door to head towards the barn. Heard the familiar hum, same as in Canada in mid-July. Time to keep yer asset moving or you're a dead man. :coffee:
-
It looked like 1.7" in the gauge early today, but it was still lightly raining. Checked again after we got back & it hadn't changed. Some light precip the whole way there & back today too, plenty of wind as well.
-
We had a total of three inches the last few days. I showed the gauge to my wife snd said, “Look, Honey. Seven inches.
-
We ended up with 1 1/2" out of the whole deal.
-

:tut: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:
Since I've been at the cabin we've totaled 2 inches. My wife's not here to show 7 though! :evil: :rotflmao:
-
Sounds like, a few guys wives have a good sense of humor. Or just trying to make them feel better?
3.5"=7" inches. :rotflmao: :rotflmao:
-
:rotflmao: :rotflmao: :happy1: :happy1: Gotta love it. Can't wait till it rains again so I can use it here.
-
Another 1.5" of wind driven rain here early this morning. ENOUGH ALREADY!
-
The old rain gauge read 1.2" this morning. Brings our total for the month of May to 5.9". Probably won't have to water the gardens this weekend.
-
4.2" this week so far
-
Got another 1 1/2 inches. And raining again today.
Right Roony....enough already!!!
-
Our gauge only says .07" this morning but the puddles in the driveway say more. Wonder if the wind direction if the maple tree didn't block most of it from getting in the weather station. I may need to find a new spot for it.
-
about .9 here so far..
-
Staying damp here but not as excessive as some places. Dumped out .67" at the ranch & 1.67" in Bugtussle. Could see more standing water closer to town this a.m. Was a whopping 3.57" reported at the SROC in Waseca & a paltry .62" in Ellendale. Totals for May so far include 6.51" at the ranch, 8.01" in Bugtussle, & if the figure posted today is correct, 9.03" at the SROC in Waseca. NWS pretty much blew this one. They had ratcheted our forecast rainfall down to a tenth to a quarter inch overnite. For us here, been one of those springs where you'd better take the over. :coffee:
-
3,57"! Man it's hard to believe it rained that much only 5 miles from me!
-
Unless they got a typo...
https://sroc.cfans.umn.edu/weather
-
SROC changed it to 1.19" in their updated & corrected version... :coffee:
https://sroc.cfans.umn.edu/weather
That puts them at only a measly 6.65" for the month. :doah:
-
the wind sure kicked in this afternoon!!!
-
It's finally died down here a d just maybe the rain quit too! :confused:
-
I was working outside. Around noon o'clock it was 68°. At 3:00 it was 60°. Pressure seems to be going up slightly.
-
looking at the radar there is blue in No Dakota!!!
-
Just pouring here. Was going to move the dock when the wife got home. Radar shows it clear here.
-
Yup raining here yet too even though radar shows it gone.
-
Just as I was hoping. The wind switched to the SSW as I look at the windmill and the wind vane on the barn. Perfect! The wind has been gusting up to 30 from the east here. It moved my far out pole about 5 feet. That rarely happens from the east and it is hard on docks on the American side of the river. Now it will be much calmer at the dock for us to pull it in about 15 feet and then it will be in the right depth. I do keep the wife outfitted with nice Muck knee high boots but her sisters said never let him get you hip boots. LOLOL I am not sure if they were worried I would make her fetch ducks or what. :rotflmao: :rotflmao:
-
Ya, same here any east or north winds and we get some big rollers come crashing into shore. If the water gets to high we have to pull the dock out because the waves can pick it up and move it. That has only happened twice since we put it in back in 2015. Another 1/2" of rain here overnight.
-
From yesterday and last night we have right at an inch of rain.
-
Was supposed to be a high of 60. Were just sitting on the deck and it got so hot in the sun that we had to move a little. It is cooling off with clouds now and is 68. I wonder what it was 20 minutes ago? Was great!
-
Crazy. Only 56 here and no sun. But there is a light breeze off of the lake.
-
It's been messing around here off and on all morning. Looks like it's outta here and all the sudden another little shower blows thru. Thought about spraying pasture fence but it''d likely wash the stuff off before it had a chance to work. Looks like I might as well start writing some copy for tomorrow. :coffee:
-
We have gotten another inch here.....4-5 inches the past 2 weeks. Enough for awhile.
-
We just had a blast of heavy rain mixed with small hail. Gauge read .6".
-
i headed to check my aspargis about 1pm...i had to stop it hailed so hard just before Roscoe...... hail piled up on the road......even on my home there was hail still layong on the shoulder> :surrender: :doah:
-
Only .17" so far. Was .04" from the morning shower and .13" from this afternoon's couple episodes. A little hail but nothing like I saw in one text and saw on X out west of town. Looks like a couple more cells heading this way within an hour or so.
-
Just dumped out .90" from Friday when we left for the weekend. Mow tomorrow. :happy1:
-
Rain again last night. More coming on Thursday. :pouty:
-
.32" for the Memorial Day weekend at the ranch & in Bugtussle. Adding rainfall up from April 1st, we're at 13.06" in Bugtussle & 10.65" at the ranch. More on the way starting Thursday nite. ☔
-
winds have been having a good time... got a few drops of rain, cement was only dotted here and there...
-
The wind is howling here. It is warm in the woods and kind of cool out in the open. Pretty good working weather. Got a lot of old dead trees pulled into the burning pile from all over. The Gson loves pulling them. :happy1:
-
Speaking of wind, I've been amused lately by TV and radio people saying how strong the winds are but, gusts will be even stronger than that. Isn't that why it's called a gust? It's stronger wind. Can a gust be lighter wind?
-
Another fricking shower going through now. There was 1.5" when I went out this morning. Plenty of moisture in the ground to last through June now.
-
The wind is just howling here again. White caps on the river. Glad I didn't drive 6 hours up here to fish on the lake. It would be brutal out there.
-
No wind here. :happy1:
-
Went out and rode across a bunch of fields from 8:30 - 10 a.m. Sprinkled on me most of the time, enough so I got damp & cold. When I got back to the office, the sun came out. Within about 20 minutes it just dumped, kinda quit then dumped some more. .17" out of that little episode. Sun came out again after lunch. Feels like it's gonna rinse & repeat most of the afternoon. Could be a glenn nap in the offing... :coffee:
Looks like roony has been blessed by Mother Nature's incontinence this afternoon... :shocked:
-
I hear rumbling and it's pretty dark to rhe southwest. I have resorted to covering the area where my peppers will go. I have 42 pepper plants that are in dire need of being transplanted. Hopefully next week.
-
There yappin a chance of rain tonight, just cut my lawn.
-
Looks like Dotch might be getting some much needed moisture.
-
Another 1.6" in the gauge this morning. This is getting old.
-
Good thing you have a nice tractor to get you in and out Roony.
-
I see a dark cloud coming from the west. We may get a shot of rain too.
-
Another 1.6" in the gauge this morning. This is getting old.
i'll bet!!!! :scratch: from 1 extreme to another from last year!!!!!!!
havent looked yet this morning. i know it rained here not sure how much. we had fog early so not sure with the deck being wet if it was rain or the fog.
-
I see a dark cloud coming from the west. We may get a shot of rain too.
10 to 8 and starting to rain here.
-
2.17" at the ranch the past 24 hrs. 2.47" by Owatonna. Lotsa reports in that range locally. It rained hard late yesterday afternoon, was about an inch last nite at choretime. Must've kept at it overnite occasionally. A 40% chance of rain today and it feels like it. Sure wouldn't take much to generate a shower as juiced as the atmosphere is here right now. Have never seen the vegetation any lusher or greener than it is.

same here Dotch...... everything is so nice and green! :happy1:
i'm actually really surprised my lawn came back as well as it did from the scorching it took last year!!!!!!! i've already cut the lawn more this year then all of last year!!! :confused: but i dont mind!!!!!!!
-
Raining here. Won't last long but got everything good and wet. Darn now I will have to wait longer to mow.
-
Right. Blue sky is coming now.
-
Got the rain gauge reading from Bugtussle. 3.3" there. No spraying today, kids. :coffee:
Looks like some scattered showers on the radar again, heading towards roony's of all places. Should help the mosquitoes going. They can spread West Nile virus to his wren population to keep them in check. Speaking of that, there's one mosquito in here. Can't see it but can sure hear the :mad1:
-
Every so many years I see the SE part of the state gets wailed on with rain and warshes out the roads, bridges etc. Maybe that is further SE of you. Hope you don't get much more rain.
-
I grew up in SE MN & ya, it's a different animal. There's enough relief in that area that once the water gets rolling it can wipe out just about anything it feels like. There can be some of that in SC MN but it tends to be flatter so the water ponds instead. That's why they call it prairie pothole country. Used to be some of the best duck and mosquito habitat in North America.
Back on SE MN, I remember driving over there from Bugtussle to visit Mom one time. Forgot to roll the driver's side window up on my Chevy Luv. This was back before the days of cell phones and instant access to radar. It poured for ~ 2 hours. When it was over there was > 4" in the gauge. Even tho I put a garbage bag on the cloth seat for the ride home, I still got a wet @$$ out of the deal, at least the part of it my wife wasn't chewing. The pickup really reeked after that. About a week later, I was crossing Boot Creek west of Bugtussle with a farmer in the Luv to get to his field on the other side. He assured me the water shouldn't be deep enough to be a concern. Wrong. It splashed up inside the engine compartment, got it wet and it stopped midstream. When we opened the doors to get out, the water ran through the pickup! Still remember seeing one of my sneakers floating down the creek. I just thought the Luv stunk inside before!
-
Unreal. Hope you don't see that again.
-
3.3" wowser. That is a lot of water any time but especially o n fully saturated soil. Been seeing a lot of bad soil erosion this spring. I'm liking the cover crop on our family farm this year to prevent that.
Oh yeah, raining again here.
-
Ran into some showers between Hope & Ellendale before noon. See it rained a little at home when I got back. Nice it freshened things up a little... :coffee:
-
If I hear one more effing weather terrorist say we have beneficial rain on the way I may be tempted to slap some sense into him.

'zactly roony. When farmers started out back in April, so many of them were convinced subsoils were really dry. Still a lot of them in disbelief that the ground became saturated so quickly & their drainage systems can't keep up.

Rooney you sure you don't have a neighbor sneaking over and pranking you? You know, dumping an extra 1 1/2" in your rain gauge every time it sprinkles down there? :pouty:
-
Come on down. We can go for a walk and see if it really is muddy.
-
lite rain here.... :pouty:
-
not sure what we have so far, but we have gotten some heavy down pours a couple times...
-
Well that was par for the course. After chores, I found an ounce of Milestone in a jug I didn't know I had. Decided I was going to spray some thistle & nettle patches with the hand sprayer in the main lot. After that my plan was to fire up the lawnmower. Just about the time I got most of the tank sprayed out, it started to sprinkle. Then it rained. Probably washed most of it off. Rain ended my mowing plans too. :sad:
-
another inch of rain and misting yet...
-
.35" I'm the gauge this morning. I guess I'll call that a win considering the heavy rain that missed us.
-
Was s'posed to get some rain about 5 & again around 7 last night but it looked like it split & went around us. Some nasties out there around 2:30-3 this morning too but that stayed just south of us.
-
Another 1 1/4 inches here last night. Supposed to rain more tomorrow. Enough already. :surrender: :surrender:
-
No doubt roony, a moral victory at .32" at the ranch & .35" in Bugtussle. Might be a shower from Saturday in the latter total as the gauge wasn't read yesterday. Looks like I lucked out on the spraying I did before it rained the 1st time. Looking at the chemical label afterwards, the rainfast on Milestone is 2 hrs. and the dicamba formulation I was using is 4 hrs. I wasn't hopeful. Checked the gauge about 9:30 last nite and noted there was only .12" after the shower moved thru. When I looked at the Canada thistle and nettle patches this morning, they were all drooping. Yeesssss!!!!
-
2 3/4 here.............
-
Just under 2” overnight
-
1.75 here, she came down perty hard between 4 and 5 this morning, perty good light show to boot!
-
Muggy and Buggy!
-
heard today that Eagle Bend and Clarrisa both got 5 to 6 inches of rain last night... some flooding...

more tomorrow they say... :thumbs:

Muggy and Buggy!
It certainly is. Following chores, dead still. Finished spraying the nettle and thistle patches with the hand sprayer. Afterwards, filled 10 of the 12 bird feeding stations. I was just a dishrag & OMG for bugs! Just grabbed a wood tick. Gave it a hotfoot. Time for a cold beer.

Kinda thankful we didn't get all this moisture in January and February.

Yupper, NWS throttled the rainfall amount back here for tonite to quarter to a half inch. Not sure if I should take the over or the under given their track record so far this spring. Been a while since they got it right. Herbicide sure dumped the weeds overnite. Always nice to see 3' - 5' tall weeds drooping. Best of all I can see any I missed & deal with them harshly. :coffee:
-
Fertilized the lawn yesterday. Always wait till June 1 or so. Just in time for more rain.
-
got a line of rain moving in from the west lite rain now and a bit humid
-
Looks like we got some storms about to hit us in Warroad.
-
had a good line of weather go by here 45 minutes ago....
-
How was it Mike? I see the cabin got it also.
-
not real bad I'd say but got over 1/2 inch of rain again or so far....
-
I gots a notification yesterday from Kandiyohi coop that we lost power in the last round, came back on fairly quick tho.
-
just started here!!!!
-
A little before 3:30 here.
-
Started pouring here about 5:30
-
Purty black off to our west. Looks like we'll see some action between 6:30 & 7:30. Hope roony's wrens are taking cover... :coffee:
Arrived at 6:18 & just dumped. Got back from fixing fence about 5:15. Neighbor had asked if I was gonna string wire tonite. Unlikely I told him. :bonk:
-
ended up being pretty wimpy here!!!!!!! :surrender:
-
.7 here about 330... noy much more since
-
Just finished up as I got home just before 5. 1.59" of rain in the gauge it says.
-
.65 here. Could be worse i guess.
-
Yes it could. Won't make the official reading until tomorrow morning but there's a hair over an inch in the gauge. We were starting to worry we wouldn't see any more rain in June after last week... :huh:
-
about .75 here yesterday... water everywhere....
Circle Pines sure got the wind yesterday...
-
.7 here about 330... noy much more since
We could see dry spots between the rain drops on the sidewalk here. Did get some good thunder. :happy1:

1.08" officially at the ranch and .30" in Bugtussle overnight. We've got a 40% chance of afternoon showers and thunderstorms today again according to NWS. Winds are supposed to pick up to 20 - 25 mph gusting to 35. Should help dry things up, if it doesn't rain again that is.
-
just a tad under a 1/2 inch here!!!!!!
-
Another 1/2 inch here. Over 6 inches the last 3 weeks. :thumbs:
-
Good gawd... got a front coming through. The Crack of thunder and lightning about made me change mu undies. :pouty: :confused: :shocked:

-
Just had a brief shower here.
Weather terrorists!
-
yup still windy!!!
-
It rained hard here yday afternoon 3-4 times, but it never lasted very long. I found only ~ .1" in the gauge this morning.
-
That brief hard shower at supper time yesterday didn't amount to much, about .06". Bluebird skies and breezy now. About 10 days of this would be about right.
-
:pouty: good gawd is it windy. :doah: coming from Gunners direction too! :sleazy: :rotflmao:
-
Crazy windy
-
drying things out

drying things out
got that right. I just dug/ thinned out some flowers in the wife's flower bed to transplant at the cabin, there's by far an abundance of moisture in there.
-
A little light rain now. Finally got my peppers transplanted yesterday.

The bunnies will thank you! :nerd:
Decided to put another dose of burndown on the main garden after chores last nite. Crabgrass was 3" - 4" & like sod in places. Will use the same tactic as last year for the vine crops. Only till in strips and allow them to do their thing for weed control. Parts of the garden contained primarily redroot pigweed and purslane so will be nice to start with a clean slate once we get at it. Luckily we dodged the rain last nite so could get at some of it tonite. Poppy is in charge of bunny patrol.
-
:scratch: Could be some strong storms here today according to the Duluth station. TWC's hourly.................only 47% chance. :confused:
-
Gunner... the Duluth station you get that from, is that radio or TV??
I was told long tome ago by the people that own the store this area typically gets what Bemidji gets, so I pay more attention to a Bemidji radio station.
-
It's really dark here, and I hear thunder off in the distance. Really calm too! :shocked: :scratch:
-
Lotsa guys trying to finish up corn spraying while some are going after the soybeans where they didn't get any pre-emerge herbicide on. Still garden to plant here but made a purty good dent in it this a.m. Hopefully we can take the under with this forecast. Some potential for severe weather altho so far it appears to be skirting more to our north this forenoon.
-
About .6" here. Looks like round 1 is about over.
-
Somewhere over an inch and change here. Looks like we're on the backside so I can go drive around and gawk at all the replanting they just finished that's underwater again. It ain't 2023 anymore... :coffee:
-
Hot here today. 90 and no rain.
-
About 84 here abd humid. Was supposed to get a bit hairy about 5 but there changing the forecast faster then I can drink a beer! :crazy: :confused:

Read on IDO there yapping about Storm chasers heading to Minnesota??
Amy ideas?

About noon hereabouts

You always get nicer looking shelf clouds than we do... :pouty:
-
front just came by here, almost an inch of rain and some hail in just over 20 minutes... clean skies now again...
-
Only .6" of rain here but we got it in about 20 minutes. It was here and gone quick.
-
Trees down and pretty much all of Sartell, mn is without power. Wifes car has some hail dents.
-
That sucks Leech.
-
Nothing here, our Paul Bunyan 24/7 local radar station showed it staying down along Hwy 2 & that's ~ 20 miles south of us. Did see a video of some 1.5 " hail around Deer River though. Baseball sized in Chisolm & much of the rest of the Iron Range got hit hard.
-
ended up with 1.3 inches of rain in about 25 minutes yesterday.. heard of some trees down south of here..
-
We had all of the warnings but didn't get any bad weather.
-
We had all of the warnings but didn't get any bad weather.
same here, about 1/4 inch of rain after dark sure brought the Skeeters out this morning. :doofus:
-
Forecast from NWS was for quarter to a half inch yesterday. Should've taken the over. Wound up with 1.29" at home & 1.22" in Bugtussle. Rained hardest from noon to 1 p.m. Finally stopped a little after 2. Most of the potholes in the fields are full of water again. Looks like we're due for an encore this forenoon sometime. Poppy will likely get a dog day. Maybe I'll get a glenn nap out of the deal!

Hail From last night. Some were up to 1”.
[attachment deleted by admin]
-
hail not good!! we only got pea size here thankfully..
-
Sitting here reading with the windows open. Here thunder and it is instantly raining hard. Pouring down.
-
Done raining, sun shining.
-
Wonder if we got any at home?
-
Speaking of hail, I just got a letter from my insurance company stating all policy holders roofing and siding will be prorated, and only damaged roofing and siding will be replaced, even if there is a noticeable discoloration between the new and existing materials. If you want it all replaced, you pay for it. I’ve heard this was coming.
-
More reasons I despise banks and insurance companies. Among others.
-
And the worse part is they are raising the rates on top of it. We got the same letter a few weeks ago. :bs: But they have been doing that for years.
-
Looking like a rainy forecast for our neck of the woods in the upcoming week. The wet get wetter... :coffee:
[attachment deleted by admin]

:thumbs:
-
Talking 1" - 2" tonite. Oh goody... :surrender:
-
so far nothing here so far, just some wind and cloudy
-
.75 here, but that didn't keep the jet skis off the lake.
-
we got some super lite mist is all so far.. only about 60 miles north of you Bobber... took almost 1/2 hour to get the cement wet...
-
about .11" so far. Brief passing showers off and on part of the afternoon, finishing with a heavy downpour just after 5. Looks like based on the radar & the forecast, the real stuff should get started between 7:30 & 8 p.m. The atmosphere is definitely juiced.
-
A big rain front is just getting here. Raining now. Hope that is all we get.
-
Dead calm in Marcell area. Skeeter are fierce!
I heard between 2 and 2.5 inches around home.
-
Buddy of mine west of Waldorf had 2.6" & the guy west of Owatonna had 1.78". Looked like it tracked more west & north. We had 1.05" at the ranch, .94" in Bugtussle & only .4" NW of Hartland. Judging by the forecast, some of us could get caught up. Rain in the forecast every day over the next week. Downright windy here = no bugs. That or the wrens ate them... :coffee:
-
We only got 1/4" out of it. That is ok.
-
Nothing in Baxter the last couple days. I’ve got new grass this year, so I need the rain.
-
Dead calm in Marcell area. Skeeter are fierce!
I heard between 2 and 2.5 inches around home.
dang Roony........you where pretty close.. cabin is 11 miles west of Marcell!!!!! and Gunner isnt much farther!!!!!!

We are on Smith Lake right across 38 from North Star. So far its been bass, smallies, and bluegill. Haven't got serious yet, having a few and playing cribbage. Between one thing and another we haven't been up this way for 7 years. With my three sons and their families.

Been hearing the grouse. There is Smith, west Smith, little Smith, and east Smith. I don't know who this Smith was.

flash flood watch for a whole bunch of the state... 3 to 7 inches maybe the next 48 hours... yikes!!
-
:scratch: S'posed to start here ~ 10 tonight & go all day tomorrow. Locally 3+" possible. :confused:
-
Only lite sprinkles presently, with the likelihood that rain decreases for the rest of the day so that's a plus. .68" at the ranch and .83" in Bugtussle the past 24 hrs. Still rain every day in the forecast yet altho the Sunday forecast when we're planning on going to the BTT50's car show looks promising. Mostly sunny with a 20% chance of rain & a high in the upper 70's. We shall see... :coffee:
-
Must be a swamp by you now Dotch. It is sunny here and only 67 yet. The rains have just barely been hitting us lately.
-
Ya there's lotsa standing water around. Guys are getting frustrated. Been numerous therapy sessions today. Should've been a shrink. :coffee:
-
As of 11:00, 1.25" of rain. Still raining.
-
rained this morning for a bit...checked when i got home nmd had a 1/2 inch. lotz of thunder and lightning in the wee hours!!!!
-
Raining so hard with lots of thunder here. Letting up a little now but the dogs still won't go out. Can't help but think of TT when this weather hits.
-
Rain started here just after 6 & it looks like some nasty stuff comin our way by ~ 7:30.
-
The ditches are full up here and the fields are lakes this morning. Crazy.
-
WOW.....2 1/2 inches overnight. To Much and looks like more on the way. :thumbs:
-
:scratch: Could get a mid-morning break but more on its way early this afternoon. :sad:
-
Another .50" at the ranch & .40" in Bugtussle. Not that we get insanely large amounts, it just rains so frequently. We're talking 10 out of 18 days with measurable precip thus far in June with 7.34" tallied for the month at the ranch & 7.8" in Bugtussle. We're also looking at good chances of rain in the forecast daily thru Saturday. Last year in June we were begging for rain. Was watering the garden & pots like crazy. This year, not so much. :coffee:
-
I prefer last year.
-
yea i'd rather be inbetween!!! :bonk: :bonk: thinking this amount of moisture is definitely hampering garden plant growth???
-
I prefer last year.
I liked two years ago even better. Every time I even thought about watering, we got an inch or two of rain. Corn crop was unreal. So was lawn mowing... :doah:
-
well at 630 this morning there was about 1.25 inches of rain in the gauge... at 6pm it was up to 2.5... water every where...
-
just started pouring here!!!!!!! :shocked:
-
Lots of rain up here by Marcel!
-
and just like that its done..........for now...........
-
still lite rain here
-
Sitting on the patio watching the SW sky. Can hear some thunder but on the futurecast radar looks like it'll get here a little after 9 if it hangs together. Be unusual if it didn't this year thus far. And yes dammit, I'm having a G&T. You gotta problem with that? :rotflmao:
-
We had 1.4" when we got back here from GR ~ 1:30, checked it 2 hours later & it was 2.3". I dumped 2.7" this morning. The 5:00 news said 169 was closed because of flooding over by Hibbing where they had almost 5", Ely had 7" ..............lots of roads closed up there & 511 says even 38 south of Marcell is flooded. :crazy:
-
Wound up with 3 1/2 inches for 24 hours. To much. Water standing in the fields.
-
Rain gauge said 1.10” when I got home at 3:30 yesterday. Haven’t looked yet today. Our view from yesterday afternoon about 1:30 when it started to rain again.
[attachment deleted by admin]
-
A moral victory of sorts last nite. .27" at the ranch & .28" in Bugtussle. Not far from here there was an inch or better again. Rain in the forecast starting tomorrow thru Saturday. Could be multiple inches. Probably about our turn in the barrel again... :coffee:

My neighbor just left. Great guy, I used to work with him. He came over and put longer steel dock poles in for me. Just in case the river comes way up like it seems to do about every 5 years or so. The rain is the weather related part of this. LOL

Up to 4”-8” of rain could fall in some areas in the southern half of the state into Saturday. :tut:

Drove from Willmar to the cities today and any low spot is holding water, lots of it. Must be part of the crow river by Mayer that's trying to drown a good portion of fields, poor pheasants..
-
Buddy on Birch Lake in Babbitt said they got 6.5" in one day last Tuesday I think he said. :surrender:
-
Showering here this afternoon so looks like I'm off the hook for lawn mowing tonite. Mowed until dark last nite once the hay fairy returned with a stock trailer full of hay. NWS forecast for here is talking 1/4" - 1/2" tonite, 3/4" - 1" tomorrow, then the fit hits the shan tomorrow nite with 2" - 3". Encore performance of 1/2" - 3/4" Saturday & finishing Saturday nite with perhaps another tenth or two.
https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/qpf/d12_fill.gif?1718916301740
-
last i looked there yapping 1-2 here for tomorrow, been to busy to care................
-
Supposed to be 1" - 2" today and another 1" - 2" tonite, then top it off with another tenth to a quarter tomorrow. Yee-haw. Hopefully it's convinced we've already got our 1" - 2" quota for today. Total rainfall for the month of June, we're at 9.56" at the ranch so far & 9.93" in Bugtussle. Water close to going over the neighbor's driveway. Water over Hwy 13 between Waseca & Bugtussle earlier. The Le Sueur River at the golf course was still in its banks, yet, when I crossed it about 8:15 this a.m. Hoping maybe tomorrow it leaves us alone so I can get the remaining sticks picked up then mow the backyard. Just have to feel fortunate we haven't had severe weather out of any of this, yet. :coffee:
-
Unreal, that is a lot of H20.

Just got off the phone with a meteorologist friend I met on Crop Tour a couple years ago. He was indicating that once we get thru Monday, we should start to see it dry out. It's been hot out there in NY where he's at with rainfall keeping up nicely so far. Hot in OH & parts of IN where they're starting to report some moisture stress. Same in MO & even parts of IA south & east of Des Moines. Crop Tour will likely be real interesting if these trends keep up. Talked to a guy who just came back from Mankato a few minutes ago. Heavy rain up that way right now. Looks like it's skirting off to our north so far. OK by me. We're good.

Looks like it's about outta here. Was pretty breezy at first but no hard water here. I know some farmers would just as soon it would hail & put their crops out of their misery.
-
A shot of light rain on the north side of leech.
-
maybe .2 here vs the one inch they said possible... way to wet to mow for sure... always tomorrow!!!

I read that Waseca has had over 15 inches of rain in June so far. I am on a hill and most of our yard has water standing or slowly running. I think it is seeping out of the hillside. Many have it much worse I know.

Bugtussle got whacked in the weather event from last nite, 6/22. Lotsa trees down on the power lines along MN Hwy 30, yanking the lines supplying houses while it was at it. That's on the owners not the power co. Electricity not restored until ~ 9 p.m.
-
Spoke with a buddy of mine back in Indiana. They were in the 90's pretty much all week. He said he would like some rain.
I told him that last summer we were begging for rain. Well, looks like we got it. Always be careful what you ask for.
-
I have said we sure could use some rain here and the guys get all over me and tell me they don't call this the Rainy river for nothing. Also a be careful what you wish for scenario.

The weather guys on TV all have a nasty looking line of storms coming through here tonight around 8-9. TWC's site hourly sounds quite a bit different. :scratch:

Some sprinkles starting ~ 11 here, looked to be breaking up just as it was getting here. :cool:
-
Saw a map by one of the weather guys I follow on X. The wind from the humid air down here should provide fuel for the system off to our north. Could get ugly. See they've upgraded our rain chance to 30% for between 10 and midnite. That has increased. That hasn't bode well when that happens this summer.
-
When it's dry a 30 percent chance means no rain when it's wet it means look out!

holy crap did it get sticky outside!!!!!!!!! :surrender: :puke: :bs: i got done what i wanna do so.....i may be done fer the day!!!

Our outside thermometer says 87. I thought no way. Went for a Ranger ride. Yup it is 87. Almost burned my but on the hot black seat. Sure feels like storm brewing weather.

A storm moving in here now.

Right. Some may pop up later. Made 90 here. A far cry from the 73 they predicted.

Checked the gauge. It only rained .15" so far but that was enough to get the water running down the ditch that mother nature created on the edge of my garden
-
I just saw on TV warnings in Roseau County so that is coming towards us. Be careful.
-
I just saw that too@
-
Knocking on our door now.

That came here ~ 9:30 last night, some real weird looking sky in that but we got nothing. :happy1: Heard this morning that both bridges across the Cedar back home were closed for 12 hours yday as the river crested at almost 9' above flood stage. S'posed to be back in it banks by tomorrow night there, our flood warning here is over tomorrow AM.
-
We got some bad looking clouds, some wind and less than a 1/4" of rain.

roony gets all the nice trout streams through his garden... :pouty:
Only got a few sprinkles and a lot of noise. Sort of a glenn storm... :scratch:

tooo much red!!!

The hourly says rain starting tonight around 9 & continuing 'til about noon on Friday. The weather guy has GR getting ~ 3/4" & Bemidji ~ .4". Personally, I'm hoping we're on the short end of that forecast.
-
Here too it looks like a rainy Friday. The good thing is that our water flows north.
-
Looking like rain tomorrow for here starting after 3 a.m. and continuing into the forenoon, tapering after that. A third to a half inch probable. That'll mess up spraying for Saturday & leave Sunday. Then rain comes back again Monday afternoon. That one looks more substantial. The SROC's weekly update yesterday noted that this was the wettest April-June period in their 110+year record. Currently, at 23.58", it's over 2" more than the record set back in 2014. In Bugtussle, we've had 26.11" in that same time frame.
-
oi sure hope it stops raining tomorrow early.......i got wood to burn and beer to drink!!!!!! :happy1: :rotflmao:

With the heavy winter snows two winters ago, followed by the driest winter and summer in history, now followed by recorded rain fall this year! I'm a little confused what the Climate Change crazies think we should do now? Do we still stop driving our SUV's or can we just pay some carbon tax to the Government to make it all go away? :bow: :confused:

Just got done mowing AGAIN! Grass grows over an inch a day in some spots. Started with some light rain here. GRRRRRRRRR. I haven't been here all the time and I don't keep records but it seems like we always get more rain than Bugtussle so add 5 inches to what Dotch said they've gotten this year and that's what we've had.
-
I suppose we should all be thankful it wasn't snow with all the wind we have also had.
-
I would guess Climate Change is what is causing this. Do we just wait for the next time which could be worse or try to do something about it?? :confused:

I hope you used an electric lawnmower roony or we are doomed. Saw this the other day. Carl Sagan spoke directly as to where science was drifting when this was broadcast back in the mid-1990's. Very telling or as some of us who use science daily when making management decisions say, follow the money.

We should be over 13" now in Bugtussle for the month of June! NWS botched another forecast. Today was supposed to be "THE spray day" so guys were gettin' after it. Forecast this a.m. started out with 20% chance of rain after about 4 p.m. Then before lunch it crept up to 30%. Could see the sky getting darker in the west just after noon. Looked at the radar & sure enough, showers heading this way. Drat! ~.18" in the gauge at the ranch so far today. Saw a custom applicator finish up & pull out of my neighbor's field after it had been raining at least a half hour. Looks like we'll likely have a bunch of herbicide rainfast studies after that... :scratch:

Was going to pull some weeds in my pathetic looking garden but the weather terrorists struck again.

Raining here now. Light. Supposed to get more over night.
-
Rain started here ~ 4 AM.
-
About an inch in the gauge here
-
1/2 inch here
-
not sure how much here yet, but my buckets are 1/2 full. musta been some wind with it as i got some leaves down off the big maple out front!!!
i'd like to burn some wood and have a few beers tonight!!!!!!! :surrender:
-
We have one of those water retention ponds nearby. It will rain and it will pool up and a few hours later it's gone. Even with all the rain it keeps soaking in, makes you wonder how low the aquafers are.

well...the one thing i've noticed in my limited travels is i haven seen the big irrigation systems running........that should help. there's plenty of them in them tater fields!!!!

What a difference a day makes! We just keep smashing records. With 1.5" at the ranch & 1.51" in Bugtussle, that puts us at 13.79" & 14.49" for the month of June. Major whiff by NWS on this one. Too busy partying after decommissioning the mobile weather app many of us were using I guess. Getting to be gallows humor in these parts. We were talking about who has the ugliest corn field. Several contestants in the running. No low water tables around here. glenn must be in Inger again if he wants to get wood and have a few beers... :scratch:

Ugliest tomato plants ever
[attachment deleted by admin]

:pouty: outta 22 mater plants i got 2 maybe 3 that look like that???? and the rest look as healthy as all get out. hoping they come around!!! :doofus:
i'm gonna snipping off those really yellow leaves/branches tomorrow after it dries up a wee bit!!!
-
Good idea Glenn. I feel like pulling mine up and burying them. Put them out of their misery! I hate waking up and looking at the miserable things.
-
Those are some real beauties roony. Just can't imagine why they look like that. :scratch: Maybe it'll warm up to 75 this afternoon ahead of the next band of showers but so far, it's struggling to make 70 degrees. Oh well, at least it's cloudy. :doah: I gotta post some shots of my peppers for comparison purposes. They're special...:rotflmao:

Just started pouring again!

i thought the same thing Roony.....yesterday while at runnings they have a 50% off all plants. i looked at the tomatoes they had left.....they didnt look much better.
i'm hoping for a rebound!! :happy1: :happy1: :rotflmao:
-
That should perk those tomatoes up roony! Glancing at the Buick out the window, it's wet again & getting wetter. Paperwork day. Was at The Willows for lunch. I see they put the finishing touches on their new deck just ahead of it. Looks nice. :cool:
-
I haven't been there for over two years.

We'll have to change that sometime. Cheese and rice! We got another thunderstorm heading this way, rather loudly I might add...:coffee:
-
No rain here. Must be that clean livin! :happy1:

Had another small shower after lunch here too & it still looks kind of rainy off to the west. I dumped a shade over .9" late this morning, when it looked like it might be done.
-
Had some rain on the lid to the burn barrel early again & I found another .4" in the gauge, so that's 1.3" in
~ the last 24 hours.

I see that Blue Earth County bought the land where the dam store was... they torn it down yesterday

-
Hopefully they can rebuild and make it even better. Kinda wish I'd made it there before all this happened. It would make a great place to cruise sometime if they can swing it.
Another .19" of rain at the ranch & .18" in Bugtussle in the past 24 hrs. Most of that was from about 10 minute's worth yesterday afternoon. Unless it tops it off overnite tonite doubtful, we'll close the books on this June's precip at the ranch at 13.98". Bugtussle should finish at roughly 14.67", give or take a hundredth. All this rain has made a real mess of things on many fronts, from the dam area to farmer's fields and on down the line. Likely won't see quite so many new pickups come fall.

How does crop insurance work in cases like these? Is the farmer covered against crop loss due to the monsoons of June?
Just curious as I know nothing about the types of insurance a farmer would have or not have.
-
I read somewhere and maybe it was from Dotch. Farmers are hoping to get hailed out so they can get insurance to at least get something and put an end to it all.

I'm not a crop insurance guy but have plenty of friends who are both selling it and adjusting the claims. I'll try to explain it as simply as I can. Most farmers carry an RMA (Risk Management Agency) policy that covers based on the %-age of their APH, actual production history over a 10 year span I believe. Some carry a bushel based policy and others a price-based policy. Most carry 80 - 85% coverage on the guaranteed price program but have the option to buy up to 95% as some did. A lot of them did it at the time because they were betting after last year and the way the winter went, we'd be facing a drought. Total opposite but bonus! They're covered anyway. Those people who did are sleeping a little better at night especially with the lower commodity prices. Hail insurance can be bought separately as the RMA doesn't cover hail or wind damage below the percentage bought. Takes a pretty nasty beating to collect on it as I understand and the payout isn't as good as it is with hail insurance. Hail insurance starts paying once your deductible is met. Wind damage insurance is something that you can add to the hail policy you buy on corn. Not all carry hail insurance. It tends to be more popular in areas that get hit with hail more routinely. Generally it's more likely to pay on soybeans as they're more vulnerable. We've had more catastrophic wind events however so some are carrying it more commonly on their corn as well. Glad I don't sell insurance. It's almost as involved as trying to figure out the kinds of food glenn won't eat. :coffee:

hearing the forecast for this week is not one I want to see... one forecaster is saying large amounts of rain potentially... not what anyone wants to hear I'm thinking...

It looks ugly fer sure here. 1-2 inches predicted tomorrow nite, another half to three quarters Tuesday, a break on Wednesday then rain again on the 4th with some lingering into Friday.

The wind is really howling here.
-
Ya we got people thinking they're going to spray today. If it's steady at 20 mph & gusts up to 30 mph like they're talking, that probably ain't a good idea, especially given the chemicals they're spraying. Grandma's prize winning 'maters could be in jeopardy... :doah:
-
At least they are lowering the predicted rainfall amounts.
Do tomato plants need leaves to be affected by herbicide drift?
-
windy here too, and the rain amounts seem to have dropped here too... I'm ok with that...
-
Wind went down and straight down rain now. Could be seeing it for a couple of hours.

Yes.....leaves will start to curl up. I till lawn cuttings into my garden and have to be careful not to get herbicide affected grass clippings in.
Supposed to get 1/2 inch or so tonight.

What leaves?
I don't think those of you that haven't gotten the rainfall and floods that we've had can imagine.
BTW I do know how to grow tomatoes. They would normally be 3 ft tall by now
[attachment deleted by admin]
-
That plant doesn't look like it will make it. I would see if you can still find some somewhere.
Look for tall plants and bury the stem up to the top leaves. The buried stem will grow roots. Only plant I know that does that.
-
That, of course, is my worst plant. I'm going to leave it and see if it grows new leaves. Yes, I know about planting them deep. At my age its not my first rodeo.
Sorry, my garden makes me crabby this year.
Too wet to transplant even if I could hunt one down. I doubt if I'd find another Sunsugar.
-
dont blame ya Roony. i got about 4-5 sick looking mater plants and drives me nuts......then the next one to it is healthy as a horse.
i know some of you really dont need rain, and i havent paid much attention to the forecast today but i dug about a 12 inch whole to bury some stuff and i could use i nice rain again, besides i got lot of grass seed planted.
-
Yup, it has been one of those seasons. Wind is trying to beat the snot out of things tonite. Oh well, at least it's raining. Gotta start July off right I suppose. I have a Sunsugar. It's in the small garden where it tends to be more well drained and out of the wind. If it comes to fruition, am sure there will be way more than we'll ever eat. I got the stinkeye from the wife after I bought it. Also a yellow pear tomato in the same garden. Both are doing well. Can't remember which one is which though looking from the house. Should probably have another G&T and think about it... :coffee:
-
Good Plan! I haven't completely surrendered. I've seen plants make crazy comebacks. I always plant a sunsugsr for Merrilee.
-
Rain started here about 4:30 yday afternoon but that didn't last long. We had a 1/2" in the gauge this morning.
-
Not much here over night. 1 tenth maybe. Supposed to get a little more on Thursday.
-
Another .46" at the ranch and .70" in Bugtussle proper. Nice for the 4 o'clocks I transplanted Added up the Bugtussle rainfall for May & June, plus what fell overnite. It came to 23.78". Coincidentally, the growing season precip (May - Sept.) for the SROC in Waseca is 23.72". We're not even halfway thru the growing season yet. In yesterday's expedition thru several soybean fields I ran across one that was showing plenty of root disease in the form of dead and dying plants. Likely phytophthora and possibly some fusarium for good measure. The Boy Entomologist will be over next week with some rootworm beetle traps. Hopefully be able to drive out there to get another look at it to confirm my suspicions. No style points if we have to wade thru the mud. Forecast looks ugly again however. Talking another quarter to a half inch today, a quarter to a half in the day on the 4th, another 1" - 2" that evening with a quarter to a half on Friday. Fair chances over the weekend as well. One thing that rings true so far in this area, when the present forecast for 7 days out is calling for 20% - 40% chance of rain, the closer we get the %-chance has almost always increased, the polar opposite of last summer.
-
When it does quit raining it will get blazing hot with zero precipitation through the end of the year at which point we will be on the drought watch.

Good! It's easier to add water than subtract it. At least in my case.
-
Sis, who lives just outside Austin on the eastern edge of Freeborn County & has I 90 almost in her backyard has had 5 1/4" of rain in the last 10-14 days. :crazy: They got 2 1/2" again last night & they had 2 3/4" back when the flooding started over around Luverne.
-
Yes, all of south central MN has had their fair share.
-
and sadly more later this week I think....
-
The good news is they've backed the rainfall amounts down for us in south central MN somewhat. Looking like showers more for afternoon on the 4th with a quarter to a half tomorrow daytime & a tenth to a quarter overnite. Another tenth to a quarter on tap for Friday sounds like. Best chance of rain after that is on Sunday with no amount specified in the written forecast, yet. Looks less worse than it did perhaps.
Here is a link to the most recent update for the mobile app that NWS is working on:

seems they have backed down some here, after tomorrow that is...

I noticed that the weather TERRORISTS raised the total rainfall forcast back up again.

just started dribblin here as a left the store....quit fer now!!!!!

.82" this a.m. at the ranch, .55" in Bugtussle & .30" in Hartland. Squeezed that grilling in just in time. Looks like some thundershowers coming at us again. At least my string beans and sweet corn have running water again... :rolleyes:
-
lite rain here the couple hours
-
raining pretty good here now!!!!!!!! :shocked:
-
1.25 in the gauges so far today this away, and still raining. Drove thru Savage on our way to Shakopee last Sunday and the railroad tracks disappear, can't imagine they still use that busy track as it sits.
-
A tad under 1/2 now, with more later they say. Kalarabi looks happy now! :happy1:
-
.45" this morning and another 1.1" this afternoon. It looks like we may get more.
WEATHER TERRORISTS
-
so far just under 1/4 inch.... I'm ok with that....
-
Weather terrorists? I don't understand. Another .53" this afternoon to go along with the .82" from this morning. Looks like one more little blob heading at us. Right now it's located between Truman and Amboy. If it hangs together it should be here ~ 8:30 or thereabouts. May as well go for the gold since we're on a roll...:embarrassed:

Yes, I hear you roony. I hope my house doesn't injure the peasants when it slides down the hill. That would be unfortunate.
.55" in the ranch gauge this a.m. & .78" in Bugtussle. Still some passing showers on my way into town earlier and looked like it was still raining at the ranch as of a few minutes ago. Go big or go home.
-
We had a couple of 10-15 minute showers pass through here yday between 4 & 5 where it rained kind of hard for a bit. I found .3" in the gauge this morning. There's a slight chance (~30%) of some more mid- afternoon today too. A better chance again tomorrow late AM to early PM.
-
We could see some big clouds south of us and I wondered how close they were to you Gunner. It was about 4 or 5. So now I know. :sleazy:
-
only some gray clouds here but still got a quick rain shower about 5 minutes ago just enough to get every thing wet....
-
It is low 80's here. Clouds are starting to build and chances of rain go up pretty soon.
-
well we just has a pounder rain come by here, over 1/2 inch in a short time...
-
thats crazy.............sun's been shining here all day.......maybe a few clouds now and then.

After sheep washing & when finishing up chores it starts dripping again. Looks like so far this one is trending heavier towards I-90. Let's keep it that way... :coffee:

ended up with just under an inch of rain here... wonder what today will be...
-
What we're getting now s'posed to last 'til ~ 11 & like I said in the GM thread, I dumped .4" the 1st time I went out today.
-
The rain went either north or south of us yesterday. Hurray!
-
dumped a 1/2 inch out this morning.
-
.02" was all from the showers between 6 & 7 p.m. Still makes 6 straight days with measurable precip. Looks like a 20% chance for later afternoon & tonite, then a 30% chance tomorrow.
-
We have rain chances all around us but looks like they may not hit us.
-
about 515 the rain poured down!! 1/2 inch again for sure.. some wind and lots of noise...
-
We ended up with a 15 minute light rain.
-
The people at the resort where headed out by about 10 & we only had another .1" by then, so a bit over .5" this time. Radar sure looked like it was going to wrap back around all afternoon, but it kept breaking up just as it was about to get here. :cool:
-
ended up with just over 1/2 inch last night...
-
Nothing here for 24 hours. Going to get hot. 90's by the weekend. :thumbs:
-
Not looking forward to that heat.
-
Just got a quick .6" here. Hope its done
-
I heard it was getting dry up that way... :coffee:
-
Poured again here. Another .55" so far. Good thing Dotch told God I needed it!
-
Looked at the gauge about a half hour ago. .16" was all then. It's thundering again however. That or my stomach is growling really loud...⛈️
-
Somebody told me on a wet year like this you need to keep getting rain because the roots are so shallow. First time I heard that one. Actually the soybeans look decent where they're above water.
-
With corn that becomes true especially as it gets close to tasseling which some of the area corn is. Tassels showing in the 96 day hybrid in the plot by the golf course yesterday. Once it tassels, the root system is as big & deep as it will get. The soybeans look OK from the road but we're starting to see disease issues crop up in them. The wet weather & saturated soils have created an ideal environment for fungal pathogens including phytophthora & fusarium. Several have sent samples into the U & other labs after noticing areas of soybeans stunted & dying. It's pouring here now... :pouty:

seen some corn tasseling up here this morning...

Ouch! We went to Laughlin in Feb a few years ago and had a good time. My wife has lived in Arizona so knows heat. When it was 115 there once I said lets go just to see what that is like. She laughed and said you wouldn't make it across the street with it that hot. :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

:scratch: Don't think we hit 90 here yday as I looked about 3 & we only had 83. We've got a 70% chance of some late afternoon thunderstorms in our forecast for tomorrow now. With this heat & humidity it could easily get a little nasty. :rolleyes:
-
I have been surprised that we haven't had more storms with this hot weather.
-
Heard some thunder ~ 11:15, it started raining before 11:45 & it's coming down pretty good right now. Can see some blue sky now.
-
had .4 in the rain gauge
-
Got sunny here and no rain. Yet. 87 and humidity went down to 55%
-
I see we hit a dew point of 81°, air temp of 87°. But then I see Death Valley is at 123°. And I was bellyaching?
-
yea its getting really sticky here...... :puke: dont care about death valley.........i'm not there!!!!! :rotflmao:
-

But, it's a dry heat there! 🥵 🤣
-
I believe you are correct. But if 70° is too hot for me, 123° of dry heat is way too much. I'm ready to fire up the snowblower.
-
They missed it this away. Been muggy but only 77 and drizzle. The sun finally came out for the first time today just now, the skeeters should be fun to deal with..
-
i hurrued this morning and done got all my outside stuff done early then did everything else in the comfort of AC!!!!! :happy1: i'm going to be a chair tater the rest of the night......well cept for cleaning up dishes!!!!!!
-
We went from rain this morning to sunshine this afternoon and then to thunderstorms tonight. Power is out at campground and my sister and her hubby just left for osakis. Heard on scanner there’s power out and trees down.
-
about 1015 last night or so storms rolled thru here and the thunder was just rolling one after another... power flickered here.. ended up with close to 1/2 inch again..
-
We had another round of storms go through about 8 last night. Stepped outside to get a look see & there was a lot of thunder & it was sprinkling. That 1 broke up just as it got here though as the only thing in the gauge this morning was the .4" that we got at noon yday. :happy1:
-
Got hammered here last night about 9:00. Tornado warnings out. Heavy rain and a little hail. Larger size west towards Moorhead.
1 1/2 inches of rain. Have to wait till it drys off to go out and check for any damage. :thumbs:
-
Got .1" sometime overnight. We were in Waseca when the big storms happened NE of us late yesterday afternoon. This hail was about 7 miles east of Faribault
[attachment deleted by admin]
-
Heard lots of rumbling in the overnite but not much action. Friends of ours by Faribault watched this tornado nervously as it passed to their SE. They got hit about 5 or 6 years ago. Knocked their bin site out just before fall.

:rotflmao: same here...i told my wife i think my phone is broke..........for the last 3-4 days its said severe storms expected tonight!!!!! :rotflmao:
-
We have a pretty steady rain coming down here now.
-
Had rain in Princeton this morning but the sun is out now. Haven't looked at the forecast for today yet.
-
Just .1" this morning. Hope that's it.
-
Had only .05" in Bugtussle so far today. Appears there may be one more shower headed this way. If it hangs together, might see it ~ 2 p.m. Fortunately the heavier part seems to be hanging farther north where it's far drier than here... :coffee:
-
At 10:30, I had 0.61" in the gauge.
-
Had a cell roll through about 3:45, lasted 10 minutes, maybe. Nothin measurable.
-
its been a drop dead gorgeous day here!!!!!!! :happy1:
-
A bit breezy & a touch cool here yday or I'd been down in the water. Sure beats the hot & humid weekend though.
-
Very cloudy/smoky here. It gets real thick and then clears up. Looks like fog at times.
-
damn its getting sticky outside........and our chance of rain is dwindling!!!!! :doah: could use some!!!!!
-
very warm and humid here and really dark NW of here.. looks like the rain will miss here too for the most part... there's always tomorrow...
-
winds just picked and some thunder in the distance.... sure cooled off a bit too..
-
Dribbling a little here.
-
just got some rain, not much but some... winds died down
-
Got home at 7:00 this and dumped out 1.20”. Just got done pouring out here. Still raining.
-
Was lotsa noise a couple hours ago. What appeared to be heading at us this morning dried up & developed heavier to our west, heading SW, which is odd. May redevelop but not betting on it.
-
Got home at 7:00 this and dumped out 1.20”. Just got done pouring out here. Still raining.
dang nothing like that over here!!!
-
well.....i just gave the garden a really good drink.......it'll rain now!!!!!!!
-
only a trace of rain here the last couple day or so..
-
Got home at 7:00 this morning and dumped out 1.20”. Just got done pouring out here. Still raining.
dang nothing like that over here!!!
Plus another 1.10" from yesterday. Might have to buy a new set of mower blades for the Toro. :happy1: :happy1:
-
Only a trace at the ranch yesterday & .02" in Bugtussle on both Saturday and Sunday. Near mis tho. Hartland got a half inch and west of Waldorf received .35". Sure looked like it was coming at us on the radar in the late morning straight down from Northfield. Fizzled. Some others are saying mayhaps their gardens could use a little drink as well as those who dropped some additional N on their corn. That nitrogen's just laying on top of the dry dirt, not down in the root zone where the plants can utilize it.
-
Getting dark North of Princeton. I think it's coming.
-
Straight down gully washer right now.
-
Straight down gully washer right now.
:pouty: suns shining here!!!!
-
Lasted maybe 5 minutes, suns trying to poke out now. :confused:
-
Straight down again. :rotflmao:
-
I got run off the lake ~ 10 today. Not hard, 20-30 minutes tops. Neighbor had .113" in his fancy gauge.
-
Just got done pouring here again. Guessing .75" to an inch and still coming down.
-
thunder started about 4 or 430 this morning and we got some rain too, maybe 1/4 inch

-
We just had about a 10 minute down pour.
-
dang.....had a 1/2 inch here. :scratch: didnt expect that much!!!!! :happy1: but i' ll take it!!!!
-
Raining west of Mankato but looks like that system is starting to weaken. Should be some precip here by around 11 but prolly won't amount to much. Some big cracks in the ground out in the fields yesterday already. Only a couple weeks ago we were saying please, make it stop.
-
About .30 here last night.
-
Rained some more this morning too. We got 3/8" yesterday and so far 3/8" today. Still lots of puddles.
-
We got .22" here around noon.
-
Showed .28" in my gauge late Tuesday morning. Heading west out of Mapleton about 9:30, had to pull over. Rain and hail.
-
Getting darker, hear thunder and light rain coming down.
-
It's 90 here with a 72 dewpoint. :confused: :doah: :surrender:
Yuck.
-
Been raining on and off all afternoon. Coming down hard at times. I think it and the thunder are moving out. ??

going to Inger??? :happy1: :happy1:
88 here and feels like 94
-
Talked to a guy I haven't seen in years. His grandson is having a terrible time with our weather. Seems he spent the last few summers working at some research station in Antarctica. At that time he said the temperature there was something like -45°F with a feels like of -85°F.
-
going to Inger??? :happy1: :happy1:
88 here and feels like 94
:crazy: :tut: :tut:
-
It was to hot & humid to even sit under the awning and read today, even with the breeze / wind it was to much.
-
Absolutely pouring out now. Gonna look like noone lives here the grass will be so long. Thunder and lightning now too. Looks like it may last awhile too.
-
It is so dark here that it is kind of scary. Unreal.
-
Yea the radar looks quite colorful up your way.
Like Gunner said it appears all that activity is sliding north and off to the west. I'm OK with that.
-
That was a hit and miss rain last nite. .08" at the ranch & .64" in Bugtussle. Nothing in Waldorf & .3" by Hartland. More in the forecast for Wednesday nite into Thursday.
-
Nothing here.
-
.35 here it looks like

mowed the lawn this afternoon :surrender: :doah:..............did that suck in this heat and humidity...... yea i use a push mower!!!!!

We use a push mower also. And yes it did suck yesterday in this heat.
-
Watching the forecast rainfall amount dwindle every time I look at it. This after I watered the main garden last nite! Going to stop looking at the forecast. After getting our hopes up a few days ago thinking we'd be getting an inch or so, now we're down to a tenth to a quarter tonite & less than a tenth tomorrow. As shallow as the root systems are on some of these crops & vegetables, an inch of rain would really be a blessing.
-
We have some rain headed at us but it is breaking up as it gets closer. I see another front behind it that may get close to us later this afternoon. Pretty humid out with very little wind.
-
saying we could get some this evening...
-
saying we could get some this evening...
yep..my terrorist app says storms maybe about 5!!!! :surrender: :scratch:
-
Ya, I don't have a lot of faith in what my app is saying. It's claiming that between tonite about 6 p.m. & tomorrow afternoon we should have slightly more than an inch. Believe that when I see it. :coffee:
-
Thunder now. Saying 70 mph wind and penny sized hail possible. Should be here in 8 minutes or so. :surrender:
-
Good Luck!
-
Yikes. 70 MPH. I hope for everyone's sake they are over-exaggerating the forecast again.
-
just getting over here Mark, tons of red by you and coming right at me... winds picked big time too...
-
its friggin scary still here..........yea radar has some impressive colors. :shocked:
i got the garden 3/4 weeded.....heard thunder then got dribbled on so i quit. shut down the garage to.............just in case!!!! :happy1:

Do you always crap on your garage before a storm?

Looks like you guys are getting wailed on. Just got dark and windy here. Lost power for a couple of minutes but glad it came back on. It is 92 here and the UPS guy asked to use the hydrant to run cold water over himself. No AC even in the newer smaller trucks. :crazy:
-
temp sure dropped too.. almost 20 degrees!!!
-
Just got dead calm here too. Sure dark out. No rain yet. I can hear thunder in the distance.
-
More bad weather by Alex?
-
Had some wind here but nothing serious and a tich under 1/2 inch.
-
Didn’t get much out the first storm. Another just west of Alex and big guy just west of Morris right now. All seem to be moving to the east.
-
Windy here also. Got 1 inch in a half hour.
-
More bad weather by Alex?
some but seemed to settle down...
-
Still 87 degrees here at 7 p.m. Dotch predicts: We won't get squat for rain. Everything is going off to our north.
-
good solid rain again, just started... lots of noise... heard about some 5 inch hail too... not sure where, that would suk...
-
That would really be bad.
-
Good luck Mike!
-
well it looks like the worst might be over.. nothing bad so... but the red to the south west, yikes!!!
-
I was surprised to see 1.7" in the gauge this morning. That should hold us for a while.
-
Our gauge reads 1.85". We watered the gardens Wednesday morning.
-
Was amazed when I looked in the gauge this a.m. I read on the Climate FieldView app that I had 2.4". Hmmm...when I looked in the official MN Climatology Dept. gauge though it measured 3.33". My gauge sits smack dab in the middle of their coverage area. So much for computer accuracy. Bugtussle garnered 3.15". My reverse psychology must've worked! There was only .34" in the ranch gauge when I let Poppy out to poop about 10 p.m. Figured that was all she wrote. Then it really let 'er beller between 11 and midnite. Usually Poppy doesn't get worked up about storms. This time she seemed agitated & woke me up about the time it was storming. Otherwise I would've slept through it. About 15 years ago, a strong thunderstorm knocked down several trees in the yard & stuck a hunk of another one thru the side of the house about 15' from where I was sleeping. Never heard it. 😴
-
Had another 1.20" in the gauge this morning.
-
well..........shouldnt need to water for a few days.....2.5 inches here overall.
when we need more;;;;;;i'll water the garden again!!!!!! :happy1: :rotflmao:

:rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

83 today and for the next week all in the 70's. :happy1: :happy1:

83 today and for the next week all in the 70's. :happy1: :happy1:
:happy1: :happy1: yep.just gotta get through today and tomorrow.......there's some much moisture in the air this morning, my grill cover is soaking wet!!!!! :pouty:
-
Humidity is only 68% here & that's quite mellow for this time-of-day for us lately.
-
Was downright pleasant this a.m. at 64. Looks like the heat and humidity are back over the weekend as it starts to slide into a more early September-like temperature pattern.
-
a bit earlier i went out and finished picking and pulling my dill.........its pretty butt ugly out there............ish!!!!!
-
Not bad at all here. Breezy and 80 but doesn't feel like it. I am not kidding fall is in the air with 70's all next week. We shall see. LOLOL
-
Got up this morning at 4:30 and fired up the furnace in the camper. It was 64 in here. I expect the A/C to start back up around 10:30. Minnesota weather, gotta love it. :happy1: :happy1:

Still raining and thundering here. Just got a code red call about 1-1/4 size hail and 60 mph hour winds in LOTW county. But didn't say where.

yikes!! not good at all....
-
Not sure where it ended up. But nothing bad here, just rain and thunder. We got .31" of rain.
-
HOLY BALLS. We just got back from the Falls. People were standing outside waiting to get into the Moose so we ate at where else but Hardees. LOL Well it was raining 5 minutes after we went by the Moose. Did our shopping and on the way home all heck broke loose. We got hailed on 3 times. Twice I had to pull over it was hitting us so hard. Quarter size and maybe a few bigger ones that we thought my break the windshield or the topper. They were so loud when they hit. No dents in anything that I could see when we got home. The dogs were in the kennel that is partly in the barn with the steel roof. lol I bet that was loud as heck. The dogs were frazzled as usual and wanted out! Good to be home. Have 3/4" of rain and the cukes, maters, and onions look fine. May not have hailed here. Cooper is almost 4 and like a lot of dogs he is getting a little shy of thunder and bad weather so he was really glad to see us.
-
dang some nasty weather north and NE of here.. alerts are coming out too..

just cant deal with it. i feel shot!!!!!
-
just don't need high winds and hail is all..

I agree. Even though it was cooler today, I was still like a dishrag after an hour of chores tonite. A 40% chance of rain after 11 p.m. in the overnite here, even tho there's nothing remotely close on the radar. That's kinda what we were saying when it rained 3" a few nites ago! :doah:
-
I agree, got some wind kicking up now...
-
Oh the radar has all kinds of pretty colors just north of me now! :shocked:
#4 says tornado warning also.
-
I drove up to I-Falls and back down today. I don't know that I've ever seen so much horizontal lightning before. Got one good crack of lightning right over the truck, that'll get your attention!!
-
We had a couple rounds of rain yday. Had some wind & pea sized hail in the early round, which was ~ 12:30-1. Last I looked it was ~ 1.25" for the day. Some thunder but most of the lightning stayed NE of us.
-
Sometime after 11 last nite there was a quick hitter thru the area. Only .10" at the ranch which doesn't hurt anything. Sounds like more on tap for tomorrow as temps cool down to early to mid-September levels.
-
We got high winds and only 1/2" of rain. I did loose 1/2 of a pear tree that I'll have to chop up.
Does pear lumber make good smoking chips? :scratch:
-
I would think so HD. It's a fruit wood.
-
.30" here in God's Country. I slept through it.
-
found this HD'
Pear Wood. Pear wood offers a subtly sweet and mild smoke flavor. It's excellent for poultry and pork, providing a delicate fruity touch that enhances the natural flavors of these meats.
-
heard Melrose got clobbered :surrender: supposedly an F2 tornado. a guy on IDO posted pictures of some of the damage. 2 inch hail!!! :doah:
seemed like the worst went around us. out towards Melrose and the east end of st cloud is what the biggest warnings were when the #4 broke into programming last night. here in the middle of that we had some wind and 8/10 of rain..........but it was a wee bit spooky for a while!!!!1 :shocked:
-
On tv this morning channel 4 had reports of 3" to 4" hail in Grey Eagle and Browerville. We sat in the pool drinking beer North of Miltona and watched the storm go by us to the NE and East. Hope they didn't get too much damage.
-

It should work great HD. Been using it for several years in the smoker boxes when grilling indirect on the Weber. Flavor is similar to apple wood. Will have lots of apple wood here as the weight of the apples has snapped some limbs on our trees.

AWE........Browerville........that brings back memories!!!!! :rotflmao: :happy1: when i first started working at DCI.....i worked field service. we worked on those milk silos at that dairy place. noticed gray skurrels running around all over the place. so we went a huntin tree rats in the fall. did well.
then hit that old dance hall.........i think on horseshoe lake.........fun was had by all!!!!!!! :rotflmao:

this shows what happened in Melrose... nasty stuff...
-
Tim over at the BStore said he had 1.5" & had heard reports of 2" from people on Bowstring.
-
JB said rain afternoon. Got our mowing done and it started light rain at 12:30. Still doing it.
-
Got both pasture fences sprayed. Great day for it as the light wind was the right direction, temp ~80 & humidity ~80%, weeds actively growing and it wasn't raining. Both fences needed it. Also allowed me to go hunting for burdocks in the neighbor's pasture afterwards with straight 2,4-D rather than the witch's brew I use on the fence. Broadleaf weeds I sprayed at 11:30 this a.m. at home were already folding up shop by 3 p.m. when I returned. Only predicting lighter amounts of rain here tonite, tomorrow & tomorrow nite, tenth to a quarter for each of those times. Air is really juiced tho so wouldn't surprise me if we got dumped on again.
-
Sure is humid here. We took care of yard work both here and the place in town. Time to hit the showers and chill.
-
Think I'm gonna jump on the lawnmower now I've peeled the soggy clothes off, cooled down & rehydrated. Bring on those cooler temps & lower humidities! :happy1:

Finished mowing everything except the backyard but today puts me in position to get it done more easily before I leave for The Great White North. Just lit the grill a minute ago. OMG is it humid outside! 94% RH right now, dead calm & 75 degrees. Ish! Raining lightly but should pass thru shortly according to radar. It gave me time to make a G&T during the rain delay, something I usually don't do on a Sunday nite. Like you glenn, I was pleased with the accomplishments of the day. Gotta celebrate those little victories, not overdo it, & be ready to answer the bell again in the morning. :coffee:
-
Patio was wet this morning behind the house garage when I stepped outside with the dog and cat. A shot of lightening too. Sure felt nice after the past couple of days. :happy1:
-
lite rain here and some very distant sounds
-
Just a dab of precip overnite, .02" at the ranch & '01" in Bugtussle. We're supposed to get some substantial rain tonite again, upwards of an inch according to the NWS. This after backing down from a forecast that included rain spread over the better part of the day & tonite. Let's hope their track record starts to improve soon. Predicting .25" and receiving 3+" doesn't exactly build a lot of confidence in their abilities. :scratch:
-
We're at 2" and it's still coming down. Mowing tomorrow isn't looking good. Front yard is under water. :mad1:
-
less than an inch so far here
-
1 1/2 here.
-
over an inch now... and still raining... :rotflmao: :rotflmao:
-
Nutten here
-
Man you guys are really getting wet. Nothing here.
-
Just got home. Looks to be about 3” in the rain gauge now and still coming down. Enough already. Pictures are from both sides of the driveway. :surrender:
[attachment deleted by admin]
-
Nothing here yet. NWS raised the forecast amount for tonite to 1 to 2 inches however. roony will get 1" & we'll get 2"+.
-
at least 2 inches now and a large pool of water in my yard...
-
Appears to quit raining here. This should be enough for awhile. 3.6”. :surrender:
[attachment deleted by admin]
-
Tornado Warning here now. It sure is rumbling out there.
-
it stopped for a bit about 12;30..........started again as we were headed to st cloud. on the way home water in the ditches all over......not sure what i ended up with..........that'll be a project for tomorrow.
-
Tornado Warning here now. It sure is rumbling out there.
seen that roony!! you folks down there take care!!
ended up with just over 2 1/2 inches of rain here... water every where ... oh well...

yeppers......same here. tighten up the belts on your bloomers!!!!! :happy1:
-
You got that right roony. It rumbled and grumbled quite a while before it got down to business. 49 mph gust at Waseca around 7 p.m. I was looking for anything peculiar in the rotation dept. I don't use my skywarn spotter number very often but keep it handy just in case. Looked like ~1.6" - 1.7" in the gauge but it was still raining. Still gusting to 38 mph I see. Some branches down but could've been a lot worse. Not sure exactly where the tornado sighting was.
-
Not sure if it was straight line winds or a tornado but quite a bit of damage around me. Our place ain't too bad.
-
My cousin's place next door
[attachment deleted by admin]
-
Ouch. At least he was smart enough to have sold the corn or beans that were in it. Not a good time to lose bin though. Lots of bins being built right now. Suspect we'll see lots of corn leaned too. Had that discussion with a customer today.
-
Wow that is bad news Roony.
-
We got my Honda generator going to run the reefer and deep freeze anyway. Could have been much worse and no one was hurt.
-
That is for sure.
-
damn...hope there isnt a whole lotta damage out your way guys!!!!!!!
ended up with 2 3/4 inches of rain overall. garden looks a wee bit muddy!!!!
-
So you are without power Roony? Or is your brother?
-
No power
-
Man that is bad news. I sure hope they get you up and running soon. Good thing you have the generator. We just have a Honda 2000 but still nice knowing we have it if we need it.
-
The Honda 2000 is what we have also. Sucks about your brother's grain bin. Mother nature is a tuff SOB.
-
Mone is a Honda 5000. It runs the essentials. Likes to eat gas but purred like a kitten for a day. 4 power poles were replaced. Got powered back about 8 pm.
-
Apples anyone?
[attachment deleted by admin]
-
sad
-
So hard to believe that winds can bend up a round structurally strong thing like a grain bin.
-
It was crazy and noisy. Lots of tree damage in our windbreak. I'll wait till fall to start in there.
-
Will be able to harvest some firewood anyways.
-
:scratch: There's a chance for some mid-afternoon precip here today.

How about some apple wine. That will get us to visit. :sleazy:
-
What a mess roony. Glad to hear you got power back on finally. My haircutter told me she'd had a guy in from east of Otisco who just got power back on last nite too.
More rain likely tonite altho the amounts forecast aren't expected to be much. Famous last words. :coffee:

yes electricity is a good thing..
lite rain started with the last half hour..
bird bath needed some water anyway....

ended up with .7 inches of rain yesterday..
-
Was big chance of rain here yesterday and we got about 10 drops. Same forecast today. Not a drop yet.
-
1.7” in the Baxter area.
-
Man I just went outside and gave the dogs a run whilst waiting for my buddy. I put on a light jacket and it is cold out. LOL Wish I had a hoodie on.
-
Had a light mist ~ 3:30 yday, but ~ 5 it rained pretty good for a around a 1/2 hour. Some light stuff again about 7, ended up with .65" in the gauge today.
-
Yes it is chilly out today. We are getting little craps of mist/rain. But not adding up to anything.
-
We just had a pretty steady straight down rain. Less than 1/4". That is the least I can measure with my sophisticated system. LOL
-
Had a couple showers roll through here in the last hour. Nothing to measure, I'm sure.

We did have some in the gauge this morning, ~.15".

-
:surrender: holy money, datz alot of apples.
Het dotch ain't around :sleazy: :evil: :rotflmao:
-
The deer are everywhere. Corn Rats!
-
I bet they're lovin' it. It's rained here off & on, mostly on, most of the day. Radar shows it pinwheeling over us for much of the evening hours. That's OK. We have food & booze. :cool:
-

What do you do with um. Deer bait? :scratch:
-
Man Roony. When most people talk about a bucket full we mean 5 gallons. That is one heck of a lot of apples. :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :happy1: :happy1:
-
These are an early apple, most of them are anyway. They do not keep very long. State Fsir Apple is the variety i speak of. In another week they will be mush. The deer will be feasting on apples on my other trees.
The corn rats also like pears. There are lots of pears this year.
-
SO obviously you have a lot of trees.
-
You should have seen the look the warden gave me
When we got done picking them up I said I think we need to plant more trees because these are getting old. She said "So are we!" Lol
-
I remember planting these trees with her and the three boys. Probably 25 years ago or so.
-
Received 2.3 inches of rain here yesterday and last night. Pretty muddy in the garden. But lawns look great. Usually dry and brown by now. :cool:
-
3/4inch here.
-
3/8" here. Been light rain all day.
-

Getting darker here and rain expected in a few minutes. Not looking good for my mowing program.

Raining most of the day here again today. Just under 3 inches since Tuesday.

I will let you know what I can see tomorrow. I think they are doing the second lane now here at my place.

Go Friday or Saturday and take in the Bass Championship. They do a pretty good job with it. I'm driving up Saturday morning to look at some property and might hang around for the weigh in.
-
just had a fast rain shower, only polka dotted the cement...
-
The terrorists are saying rain by 10 here.
-
We have rain. :sleazy:
-
bird bath is getting refilled... :happy1:
-
Just enough to get things wet. Now about 5 they say. Enough time to wet A few fishing lures. :sleazy:
-
Hasn't amounted to much here. Sprinkles and windy as heck here now. Driveway isn't even wet.
-
1/4 inch so far
-
3/4 now, in the last 1/2 hour some hard rain...
-
:confused: weather terrorists keep changing the forecast more them a woman changes her mind! :surrender: :bonk: so, plans changed. Do what I planned for tomorrow for today, fish tomorrow. I'll show'em.
Besides the direction the wind is coming from..it be a beech to load boat.
-
well 1.3 inches of rain for here...

Mark always gets the nice water puddles! :pouty:
-
That 2013 f150 is for sale
-
We had some light rain at 9, then it was on & off for most of the rest of the morning. I didn't find much in our gauge but the neighbor had .2"
-
Our deck was wet again but that's about it.
-
Sun is out now and jumped up to 78.
-
Sun is out now and jumped up to 78.
the sun NOT out yet is a saving grace here for now!!!!!!! its muggy as all get out!!!!!! :puke: :surrender:
-
86 now and the wind is welcome today.
-
cloudy here too and humid...
-
not sure it 80 here but sure is humid... the breeze helped tons... did a few things outside for a couple hours and that was enough.. then it was a cold beverage time!!! :happy1:
-
Hit 90 here. Still 80 something. Going to be a tuff night sleeping with no AC. Will need to close many of the windows too. Saying rain during the night.
-
I don't like air conditioning but it's been running since yesterday morning. It's humid as heck here and the overnight low was 72. They say cloud cover here until noon and then it's really going to get bad. 90 & humid is a bad combo for this old fat guy.
-
TWC's site says only about a 40% chance of rain & that's even tomorrow afternoon. WCCO has all the nasty stuff staying south of us today but 1 local station's radar for tonight is showing it could get ugly after midnight here tonight. :scratch: Usually, a couple days of this heat & humidity kicks up some storms.
-
Makes me glad I had those 8 trees taken out last week. All of them were near buildings. I looked at them once they were down and I'm not sure why or how some were still standing.
-
We did hit 91 yesterday around 4:30. Sposed to be not as hot today but feels just as hot so far. No breeze neither.
-
went over to LP and got my new glasses that I got from the VA adjusted and different nose pieces on.. fit nice now!! but holy moly was it humid windows on the house are finally clear of moisture...
-
Got a couple large ash trees that need to go here tt. Someone planted them closer to the house than they should've rather than taking out the crappy row of boxelder trees and planting them there. Took those out myself and put some hackberry trees in to replace the ash when they cash it in.
Could get some weather down here overnite again. NWS is calling for a 60% chance of rain with a quarter to a half inch. Encore performance Thursday afternoon with a 70% chance of another quarter to a half inch. Very little breeze today. Sheep are glad I got the fans running in the barn yesterday. It is close out there today.
-
Years ago I might have tried to take them down myself. But most of these were close to either a building or power lines. Well beyond my skill level.
-
this weather is just plain friggin GROSS11111 :bs: :surrender: :puke:
-
Sounds like some severe weather is in store for us this afternoon and again overnight.
-
Radar looks nasty abd it's getting pretty dark here. Looks like it'll hit the fam around 6.
-
Good Luck Glenn!
-
Yes, hopefully it doesn't damage the noodle crop, or worse. Sounding like it'll hold off until ~5 a.m. in Bugtussle and environs. ⛈️😨
-
Lost satellite TV. :confused: can't keep an eye on news. :confused:
Some rain, thunder and lightning. Scared the bejesus outta shadow. :rotflmao: dropped 10 degrees just like that!
-
:confused: seems it pretty much missed us.
-
just a few rain drops here... temps have gone down some too..
-
looks like the twin cities is going to get serious weather, stay safe all....
-
Power went out here. Pretty good wind and rain. Blew through fairly fast. Powe back on now.
-
I kept an eye on the radar last night & the early stuff kept breaking up just before it got here. A bit before 10 that all changed. It rained cats & dogs here for about 45 minutes. Lots of thunder & lightning too. Like I said in the GM thread, .75" in the gauge.
-
Should've taken the under here again. Talk at one point was a quarter to half an inch. Only .03" so far and there doesn't appear to be a lot on the radar. NWS predicted we'd see rain starting 4 - 5 a.m. Had the squirrel cage fan on the outside of the barn blowing in so I got up ~3:30 to unplug it and move it inside. Just thankful we didn't get a lot of storm damage. Has cooled down nicely.
-
:scratch: Neighbor said he had .85" in his fancy gauge that measures to the hundredth.
-
.2 here
-
3/4 here!
-
Just under 1.5 for me in the north metro for both storms that passed thru last night and this morning.
-
2" on the nose in Sartell.
-
1.75 in the south metro, who knows how correct it is with all the sideways rain.
-
Yday they had us getting some rain this morning around 7:00-8:00 but that all looks like it is going to stay just west & slide a little north of us now. Rain here from ~ 3 'til around 6 or 7 now.
-
We got a little over 1/2 inches last night and today. Looks like it'd done now for awhile. :happy1:
-
just got a bit more and some more coming..
-
It's so dark here feels like 9 pm.
-
a bit of rain and some noise here so far and not looking good for more... yea I looked at the radar for east of here... plenty of colors!!!
-
Rumbled, then rained hard for 10-15 minutes and done. The temp dropped from 86 to 69 just like that.
-
About 3:30 or so, our wind changed direction from SE to NW. Temp dropped, too. As of 4:30, .7" of rain. Still raining. Kind of noisy, yet kind of relaxing, too.
-
We have 1.5" so far.
-
ended up with .8 inches and most about 5 this afternoon and fast too..
-
Got going with the mower a little after 4. About 5:20 the sky turned pitch black & the yardlight came on. Time to park the mower & check the radar. Looked impressive. Pretty breezy at first, rained hard for about 20 minutes then came thru in waves. .63" after chores ~6:45. Has been raining since. Guessing it'll probably put us over 8" of rain for the month at the ranch.
-
We got .85" here in God's Country.
-
Gauge read 1.1" of rain this morning. 3.6" for the month.
-
We ended up just shy of 1 3/4".
-
A little before 6 yday afternoon I heard a couple big rumbles of thunder. About 5 minutes later I thought it had started to hail, took a peek & it was just wind & rain. It was raining so hard that I couldn't see much past our bank. When I looked today there was a good 1.65" in the gauge & I wouldn't be that surprised if the neighbor has 1.85" as it came down sideways. Just about all of that came down in 30-35 minutes too. :crazy:
-
my son is at the cabin. got there about 6 last night he said. said there was at least an inch of standing water in the fire pit!!! :shocked:
-
Final tally .87" at the ranch & .71" in Bugtussle. That puts me at 8.1" at the ranch & 7.02" in Bugtussle for August. Looked a little wild but haven't heard about any major damage from the storm.
-
I was down dragging the end of our driveway this AM & the neighbor across the road was leaving. Spoke with 'em a bit, they said they had 1.85". Talked to the 1 next door a little later & he said the same thing.
-
Had a brief thundershower roll thru here around 6-ish. .07" at the ranch & .11" in Bugtussle. The SROC has made a change in the way they're reporting daily weather data & it's taking some getting used to. Time is measured using a 24 hr. clock. Fine if you've been in a job where you're used to it. Not so much otherwise. And there will be no snow measurement with this new system so not sure if someone will still be responsible for that at the SROC or not. It's valuable info to have sometimes especially in a spring like '23 and this past one where too many people assumed our soil moisture was lacking. They didn't take into account that the snow added soil moisture that we normally don't have when the ground is frozen. It added bushels last year and took them away this growing season.

Cooper and Jake were outside and I heard Cooper bark at the door so I went to let him in. It was pouring rain. He came right in and I see Jake running as fast as he can when he saw me let Cooper in. :Clap:

-
getting some lite rain here..
-
Had a quick hitter move thru here about 1:30. Looked like just under a tenth at the ranch when I pulled in.
-
Man it is dark here and just started absolutely pouring out. We are in a heavy rain and thunderstorm for another 50 minutes.
-
We have 3/4" already. One of those green sky events.
-
Ended with exactly a tich over an inch.
-
Had .4" when I got home from work. Storming hard right now again. Wife said they had hail in Warroad.
-
it sucked here.......hot and humid!!!!!!! :pouty: :pouty:
-
same here and more tomorrow... :puke:
-
No rain here. 85 for a high at the ranch and dead still much of the time. Bleccchh!!! It's supposed to be September not July! Pushing the crop harder than it likes to be pushed. May take some test weight on corn and will be causing some pod abortion as well as smaller seed size in the beans. If you bought up your insurance coverage levels, that might not be all bad. If you didn't, bend over and take it. No lube for you! :huh:
-
Dotch, it must be hard to estimate yields this year especially with corn. Quality will take a hit. Too bad hardly anyone chops silage these days.
-
Looks like a lot of red going right over JB now. Windy as heck here but not raining. It is sliding by us.
-
Got a little wild here. Up to 1.95" here so far.
-
Dotch, it must be hard to estimate yields this year especially with corn. Quality will take a hit. Too bad hardly anyone chops silage these days.
Ya it's only a formality this year. It can easily vary over 100 bushel or more per acre in the same field depending on where the sample is pulled. In a good year, technically we should be taking a sample every 40 acres. In a year like this one, it should probably be more like one every 20 acres. Each sample takes 15- 20 minutes with windshield time, etc. No one has that kind of time nor do they want to compensate anyone who does fairly for it. Yesterday was a case in point. Hot and little breeze, I decided to don the shorts again. Fine except you get your shoes & socks full of woolly cupgrass and barnyardgrass seeds. Going to wait until it cools down to finish methinks. At least take that variable out of the equation.
-
We're in a severe thunderstorm watch until 10 they say. Man we could use the rain the grass is crunchy here. Although the roof could use some hail, the vehicles could go without it..... Looks like 5ish it might get interesting.
-
Clear as a bell here, yea we could use it to. :confused:
Hey wait, I'm gonna go out and water what's left of the garden :sleazy:
-
The downspouts were running a little early this morning, but I checked our gauge and found nothing measurable.
-
Reputedly a 50% chance of rain here after 10 a.m. Looking like it's tracking farther north tho so betting we'll get dry cleaned again. Would be nice to get enough to wet the ground. I don't wanna look like I've been working up a dry peat slough when I mow the backyard. Amazing how we can go from over 8" of rain in August to just shy of a half inch so far in September.
-
The downspouts were running a little early this morning, but I checked our gauge and found nothing measurable.
The neighbor had .017 in his.
-
just checked the forecast.......it goes out to the 13th of Oct. good grief no rain in the forecast for that whole stretch!!! :surrender: :pouty:
i seen a piece on the news this past week that with the lack of rain you should water the perennial flowers to they are set up for winter.
-
Started doing that the other day. Soaked the shrubs, rhubarb, & peonies. Gave the peppers & snap peas a drink too while I was at it. Busted a branch off one of the pepper plants that actually had a couple decent peppers on it. :coffee:
-

We have 47 but the feels like is 37. Our winds are stronger than I thought. 24 gusting to 35. Sunny then cloudy and misty back and forth.
-
The Duluth weather guy was talking about a little of white stuff for the Grand Marais & the Ashland/Bayfield areas this afternoon. He also had a pic of 1/2-1" of it on the ground from this weekend that was from just north of Silver Bay. :rolleyes:
-
Phone says 35, 1 thermometer says 30, the other 32. There's some steam coming off the lake.
-
28 down here.
-
The 1 in the garage had 36 ~6, the 1 in the house that has the sensor out on the outhouse was 35. Went out for a bit Thursday afternoon & still had 58 for surface temp then. The lake should be turning over pretty quick, if that wind yday didn't already get it started. :scratch:
-
Cold enough here. 28 dis a.m.
-
We have 51 and I should have known cuz that is exactly what the weather man said it would be. Also we just had a rain happening. Got everything wet but no measurable amounts with my system.
-
only had a few drops here.. never got wet..
-
Raining again here but still not 1/4".
-
Had about 20 raindrops this afternoon. We’ve had a really nice gentle rain for at least an hour. Hoping it keeps up a lot longer.
-
i took my rain gauges in a while back, but i put out a bunch of 5 gallon pails to save some rain water for my wifes inside plants over the winter. there's maybe an inch some pails 2 inches of water in it!!!! hoping to get 2-3 gallons.
i checked the extended forecast that goes till nov 2...........around here no site of anything below freezing......up at the cabin possibly 2 nights!!!!! :doofus: crazy!!!!!!!
-
WCCO just said a high of 80 tomorrow. WTH???? :crazy:
-
Had about 20 raindrops this afternoon. We’ve had a really nice gentle rain for at least an hour. Hoping it keeps up a lot longer.
We had a few sprinkles about 3 but it didn't last, then again around 4 but the same with that. Later, ~ 7:30-8, we got a nice light rain & that lasted 'til around 10-10:30. I pulled our gauges the 1st part of this week.
-
Nada down here in the land of dirt and grime... :coffee:
-
Nice light rain here now. Should settle the dust some! :happy1:
-
lite rain here...cement isn't wet yet...
-
When we left for the Falls it was a sunny very nice day. By the time we left there it turned to complete cloudy and seems colder now too with no sun. What a switch.
-
Stayed cloudy until mid-afternoon. Hung in the upper 50's & low 60's Now the sun's out & it's up to 72.
-
Neighbor's gauge had .137" when I checked it this AM, talked to a couple from up by the little island on the west side of the main lake today & they had .125".
-
Not a drop here in my little corner of paradise. I wouldn't complain if the winds let up significantly, though. I always gotta complain about something, I guess.
-
Yup the wind can change everything.
-
Been pretty steady light rain here for awhile. Cooper and Jake are outside in their kennels whilst I wait for the freezer to arrive. Cooper isn't happy. LOL
-
just wind here so far...
-
75 and gorgeous here, by now I woulda had the garage stocked with wood for the upcoming winter and the chimney cleaned out and ready to go, none of that is done due to the warm fall... I also gots to rent a splitter for the 3 loads of ash that came from the neighbors, but once again it would be a sweat athon..
-
Nice jag of wood Bobb. I like ash. We have a solid 1/2" of rain and still drizzling out. 47 now.

Although I did get the A/C condenser taken apart and cleaned up nicely today, the breaker is off just in case, waiting for it to dry so it gets covered.
-
Been raining off & on all afternoon here. Even had 3-4 pretty nice showers in that. Had 2-3 rounds of some pretty light stuff this morning too. The wind had went WNW & picked up by around 3 too.

-
Good to hear people that need it badly are getting rain. Dry as heck in Luverne and I just heard that their is some moisture coming down there too. Hope it keeps up.
-
Well needed rain here in the south metro, I chopped leaves yesterday and it was nasty dry. The lightning is really neat.
-
My buddy in Luverne where there are cracks in the dirt from being so dry had a huge crack of thunder and just enough rain to get his sidewalk wet.
-
Just barely enough to see in the bottom of the gauge here.
-
Had a light rain from 3:30- 7, only .147" though.
-
i dont have the gauges out anymore so dont have a clue as to how much rain we got. but it musta froze last nite.......pretty frosty this morning........seen a low of 29 tonight!!!!!!!!
-
1/10 of an inch of rain here... put the rain gauge away also..
-
Ours came in a couple weeks ago too, but the neighbor still has his flow thru digital 1 out.
-
radar shows rain all around here... so far dry as all get out...
-
52 and has been cloudy all day. Whenever I look at the weather it says light rain here. Hasn't yet.
-
An awesome 70 here. Be a good night for a fire. :pouty: no wind partly cloudy

Some light rain here, it started ~ 6 & the hourly says it lasts 'til around 10. It's felt like rain since about noon here today.
-

I heard rain on the roof sometime after 3:00. There was some lightning, too.
-
i see the deck is somewhat wet. windy this morning from Gunner's direction!!!!! :rotflmao:
seen there flaaping the jaws a potential 1-3 inches of da white stuff late tonight into tomorrow. hope i dont get snowed in from getting to the store in the morning!!!! :pouty: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rotflmao:
-
Better there than here. Supposed to see some snow tomorrow here but isn't supposed to be measurable. Be nice to start getting some recharge after very little precip since mid-September.
-
I just looked at my rain gauge and we had more rain then I thought. We have well over a 1/4" in the rain gauge. There were puddles in the driveway.
-
i've been watching the forecast more or less for deer hunting.........highs up upper 40's low 50's
and no lows below freezing. varying between 34 to 38!!!!!! :scratch: :doah:

:tut: I had to use the wipers on the way to town yday, it was just a light mist but with that NE breeze I didn't think it was exactly tanning weather then. I still saw maybe 1/2 dozen guys running around in shorts, I think most of 'em had a hoodie on though. But at least a couple of 'em had nothing on their feet but flip flops. :rolleyes:
-
Got a call from my brother. He said it is snowing and blowing in Mankato. It just started turning to snow here.
-
The precip map that the weather guy on the Duluth channel had up on the 5:00 news this morning showed a 3-5" band of snow from Hinckley over to just a touch NW of Hayward, Wis. It had a narrow band along the north & south shore of 1-3" too, that he said probably wouldn't stick.
-
nothing here so far
-
Wound up with .78" of rain at the ranch from yesterday afternoon & last nite. Brought the October total to .86". In Bugtussle it was .90" & .97" respectively. In the changeover zone here so far. It was snowing in Bugtussle just a minute ago. It's back to a sideways drizzle. Oops! Now back to snow again. Mother Nature. Typical female... :coffee:

:scratch: holy crap........ did it ever get foggy here all of a sudden!!!!!!!! :surrender: :shocked:
-
I had some water on the lid to the burn barrel & the cement in front of the garage as well the big shed was still wet when I went out about 8. So, we must've had a little rain again overnight. :happy1: Getting a light mist now too.
-
Just got back in from fence detail. Still wet enough where a branch was on top of the bottom wire resting on some damp leaves partially grounding the fence. More rain coming so good to have that job done.
-
The wind blew the clouds into Canada and it is clear skies here now. Still breezy. Just hit 40.
-
misting here
-
:rotflmao: so after watching for the past 3 hours the weather terrorists keep moving out when the rain is supposed to start, i finally see raindrops on the deck! :surrender:
-
Solid cloudy here, 44 but feels cooler.
-
Gray drizzler this afternoon. Rained pretty good this a.m.
-
A well needed rain has been going on since bout 8 this morning, sure do wish I put grass seed down tho..
-
lucky, still nothing here..
-
Could really use a bunch here. Just clouds
-
fog seems to be getting lighter.. still frosty..

Ya Scenic, I don't think you live far from my buddy Bill. Haven't heard him mention anything about rain lately. We've just recorded measurable precip for 6 out of 7 days. Cumulatively 2.17" at the ranch & 2.65" in Bugtussle. Started the day after I got back from Canada. Should probably make another trip altho I don't know if my liver could handle that right now. Some are starting to whine that they won't get their fall tillage done or their fall anhydrous applied. Lotsa options in that dept. Not to worry. Just be thankful for the rain right now. May be glad you got it come spring planting if it's dry then.
-
I walked out the back door of the garage ~ 9:15 & it was spitting some white stuff. Kind of hard to see but it looked more like sleet than :snow5: to me. :scratch:
-
solid blue skies here..
-
Here too............now. :crazy:
-
Had to go to town to get a few things including ice cream so it was important. Well I opened up the door and of course the dogs were out the door. It was pouring rain but I didn't realize it. We jumped in the Ol Ford and headed to town. Then it really started coming down. Had wipers going all out. We are at 3/8" so far and it is still coming down. That tree may not get taken care of.
-
lite rain here most all morning.. that tree will still be there later Barry!!!
-
That is exactly what the wife said. :rotflmao: :rotflmao:
-
Am sure she will take care of it, just like here... :whistling:
Just raw & damp here. 41 degrees w/a SE wind at 14 mph, gusting to 17. RH is 87% so it drives it right into ya. Rain after 3 p.m., predicting a tenth to a quarter inch. Supposed to be heavier coverage to the west of us. Really be nice if it decided not to rain this time around. Lotsa mud on the roads overnite as folks tried to get their fall anhydrous applied. Watching the system heading this way early to the middle of next week. Could be some flakes with that if it cools down enough.
-
Stepped out about 2 & it wasn't the light mist any more. No hard rain, just a nice steady rain that would get 1 wet & cold in no time.
-
slowing down now
-
Heavy mist now.
-
Rain showed up here just around lunchtime. Still 41 but the wind has gone down steadily to about 5 mph so that part's better. Was cold when I was home for lunch so made a cup of cocoa to warm me up. If it had been the weekend I might've stuck a little tincture in it. :sleazy:

It could get that way after the car club meeting tonite! :rotflmao: Hearing some stronger mutterings about snow mid-to-late next week. We don't need no stinking snow! :angry2: Anhydrous was going on pretty good yesterday before the rain. Things came to a screeching halt once it got serious. Get a breeze & sunshine for a day & they should be going again. The deal breaker may be the rain Monday nite into Tuesday. Looking at the 7 day estimated precip total it's probably time to kick 'er in the asset! Some of the weather models on Bring Me the News don't thrill me either. :sad:

:tut: :pouty: yea hope there wrong... I leave to deer hunt in Wisconsin next Thursday
-
We're really getting spoiled with this global warming and long fall seasons before the snow comes.
Back in the 70s, 80s, and 90s there was always snow up north for the gun opener - even if it was just an inch or two that fell the Friday night before. I only remember one unseasonably warm season when we hunted in shirtsleeves. Now it is the exact opposite. It is a rare occurrence if we have any snow up north during the duration of the gun season.
-
Heck, I'm beginning to think there won't be enough ice for me to go spearchucking the 2nd weekend in dec! :confused: :doofus: :pouty:
-
The gals from Inger will be glad to take yer money tho I bet! :evil:
The falls have trended to a longer, warmer version of what they once were here although I better not say that too loud. The ground used to freeze up around Thanksgiving so we'd have to get all our plowing done before then. Was nice to be done & enjoy all the nice hot food. Now if you're not done by Halloween you're a slowpoke. Usually I clean barn in later November to early December. Some years I can go until almost January if need be. Others I've had to scratch and claw to make it out to the field and back because the snow is too deep in early December. We could be in for one of those soon. That's why I hope the tire guy gets back to me soon so I don't have to pull the chains off to work on it. Don't need 'em yet but there comes a time.
-
Was just talking to an old fishing buddy yesterday. He loves up in Stearns County. He and I always use to go ice fishing on the day after Thanksgiving in his area. It's been at least 10 years since we've done that
-
Yay! Tire guy called this afternoon while I was working on another project. Wants to put new rears on the 656 which I OK'ed. At just a little over $600 a pop, I can live with that. The new rims came in at $385, well below what I had priced several other places so that was also good news. He won't be able to deal with the weights until a later visit which is OK. With the chitspreader, all the weight is on the tongue & drawbar when it's loaded. Weight is also entirely on the rear end with the snowblower. I'll put the chains on too if it decides it wants to play rough. :coffee:

We now get ABC out of Cedar Rapids again, so I had their news on yday. They even mentioned some snow next week in ther forecast & they're 100+ miles SSE of us. However, it's only about a 15% chance of rain for Wednesday & Thursday in our 10-day. :scratch:

Breezy one here today. Wind blowing 20-25 mph gusting to 40. Deer are apt to be hunkered down where it's sheltered. Were some shots fired earlier but it's been pretty quiet as the wind has come up. Good day for farmers to get back at their fall anhydrous & tillage plans.
-
Man it has been light out at night even with it being cloudy. The supermoon is behind it I guess.
-
Had a late afternoon shower yday here. More on the way tomorrow afternoon, windy too.
-
Whatta great afternoon here, 50 and the wind laid down. Probably last time sitting patio side in the near future. For mid Nov I'll take it.

Took the garbage out ~ 8:30 & it was a real fine mist already then. Needed my wipers on comin home from the clinic & it was foggy. The rain is s'posed to pick up in about a 1/2 hour.

What area do you live in? Looks like is all coming up from the south. Calm and sunny in Sartell.

Rain started ~12:45 at the ranch. Apple tree cleanup came to a screeching halt. :sad: Oh well, got 2 out of 3 done including some major surgery on both due to broken limbs. :happy1:

Just started dribbling here. Listening to KQRS earlier they said rain with lots of wind. Now if that rain would be snow!! :sleazy: :sleazy:

Looking at 511 here in the Blue Earth, Watonwan and Faribault counties and talking with folks. Lots of spinouts, a couple of jackknifed semis and some slick intersections. Good night to be inside the home.
-
Yupper, the roads were icky yesterday a.m. Some dummies tailgated me all the way into Bugtussle. I knew how slick it was. When I came to the stop sign on the gravel after feeding the sheep at the neighbor's pasture, it was tough to move w/o putting it in 4WD. Looked like a skating rink so kept 'er cool once on the blacktop. Was afraid the way it was snowing after chores last nite I might have to move snow this a.m. Luckily it stopped shortly after I was inside.
It warmed up overnite & lot of the roads had thawed off or blown clear when I went to town this a.m. Looks like it's reached the freezing mark so it should continue to thaw this afternoon. Melting good in Bugtussle presently. Old Man Winter just fired a warning shot. :coffee:
-
have had clear skies this morning until the last 1/2 hour or soo.. clouding up and fog coming off the lake!!
-

Here as well. Just put salt on the sidewalk because the fog is almost like a mist and they are slickery. Guessing some black ice on the roads in places too.
-
Fog & mist earlier, staying cloudy. The county blacktop here was OK but MN Hwy 13 seemed to be a little slick outside of Bugtussle. Had to scrape the windshield before starting out this a.m. so that was a clue. Looks like a warmer weekend relative to the past couple days so likely be a good time to do odds and ends around the yard before the ground freezes up. Some are hoping for the ground to freeze so they can get one more shot at anhydrous ammonia or finishing primary tillage. Some were able to get some tillage done until it warmed back above freezing. Soil surface turned to snot and it was over until it freezes up again. I'd like it to be frozen too for manure hauling so I don't track mud all over. Wild how it's gone from being dry as a popcorn fart to too wet in a matter of a couple weeks.
-
quiet morning overall with a few snowflakes falling
-
Tossed some pumpkins over our fence to the sheep at the neighbor's pasture. Thought maybe they'd bust open but they're hard as a rock. The ewes will have their work cut out for them to open those babies up. Bad news: they're not gonna thaw anytime soon. Colder air will settle in here too. Not like the big boys up north but plenty miserable after some 50 degree highs not long ago. Could see a flurry today but haven't yet. ❄️
-
everything has turned white here.. and still nothing on the radar.. :rotflmao:
-
Actually, after typing that some flakes showed up. I should've written about something naughty instead... :whistling:
-
still lite snow in the area and just looked at mn511 and almost the whole state has blue roads!!
-
It was spittin snow when we got to Sis's place but it picked up after we had dinner. Got enough to turn their yard pretty white before we left, but I drove out of it in the 1st 3-4 miles. Nothin on our roads either. :happy1:
-
Just a dusting here. Could see a little on the shoulder of the road and that was about it. Going to take me a while to adjust my thermostat to this stuff again. Got a feeling come January, a day like today could feel downright balmy. :huh:
-
Damn, weather terrorists say -11 windchill :huh:
-
-12 here it says... muzzle loading season starts tomorrow... went one time muzzy hunting and the temp was -19... younger and dumb!! but we had fun!!!

The 49ers have really cooled off this year.

Just talked to a friend that lives a mile upriver. They had 10-12" of snow the other day too. They were here when it snowed. He said it just kept coming down in big flakes all day. The river was partially open yet so they are calling it lake effect snow along the river and the lake. His brother a couple of miles from the lake hardly got anything. We have 1-3" expected by Wed.
-
With the exception of one hole, St. Olaf Lake was almost entirely frozen over this a.m. Lake was crape when I went by. Measured 1/2" of snow in Bugtussle, with .05" of liquid equivalent precip melted out of it. Was similar at the ranch but still melting the sample out yet there. Poppy should have it read by the time I go home to let her out. :coffee:
Update: At the ranch, Poppy measured .6" of snow & .06" of liquid equivalent precipitation.

Was stuck at 49 when we were under the clouds. Once they left, we've made it to fitty tree! Asian ladybird beetles are coming out of the woodwork, literally. Think I'll go out & pick up white pine cones when AZ St. is done clobbering IA St. Mrs. Cheviot is running errands so Poppy & I might sneak a glenn nap in before she gets back.

Send her a text sending her a few more places, longer nap :sleazy: :happy1: :rotflmao:

There was a mosquito in the house a couple days ago. :scratch:
Squashed it.
It topped out at 54 at the ranch this afternoon. Supposed to make mid-40's mañana. Hopefully they're 4 degrees low like they were on today's forecast.
-
sounds like some rain this morning..
-
:scratch: Right around feezing for temps in your area too, mike. So, the roads could get pretty dicey. The hourly for LP has rain from ~ 7:30 to around 10. Drive careful & walk like a penquin if you gotta go out. :rolleyes:
-
seen that too Gunner, no travels this morning for me
-
Looks like it is supposed to start here around 0800. We can use the moisture but sure do not need the ice. However it comes bring it.
-
Looks like we get another free pass today. Revised forecast gives us a high of 53 under partly sunny skies. Need to get outside & enjoy it. Might be the last one of these for a while altho looks like a 40 degree high mañana.
-
Looking at the river this morning. It is darker due to the snow melting I suppose. I also see a bigger dark spot that may be a crack. If we get the wet heavy snow it won't be good for the river or the lake. 34 and 85% humidity right now. Very humid outside, can even feel it when you go out.
-
some rain drops coming down...
-
Left Grand Rapids at 7:00 this morning, fog and no visibility until Walker, Nevis to Wadena slippery than crap and then 29/210 to Alex the road was damp. Added about 25 minutes to my drive time. :happy1: :happy1:
-
Still saying 3-6". Ending in 7 hours. Nothing yet.
-
It is 35 and it is officially snowing here.
-
Back from FF. Saw 53 on the trusty Dotch pickemup thermo meter on my way back. Clouded up & cooled down a tad to fitty.
-
My phone says 37 here. Out putting the new battery in the truck had a few dribbles but nothing wet. It's tolerable but a damp chill
-
It is just out right raining in the Bemidji area right now. Most of the snow we had is going to be gone here in just a bit. 32 degrees and rain. Never a good combination. I just shoveled about quarter inch of slush off the porch.
-
We have 33 and snow yet. Probably have 3 maybe 4" on the ground now.
-
:scratch: Can't really tell but it looks like they might've got an inch or 2 down by us. Kind of looks like they could've had a little freezin rain too.
-
We had 30 to start this a.m. Supposed to rise to the low 40's by noon then taper off to about freezing by 5 p.m.
-
looks like we did get some rain/snow over night.. ice coating on the sidewalk..
ok it's snowing now...
-

Just filled the bird feeder and good that I did. It was snowed in. It didn't take long as the wind was cold. The dogs didn't dawdle neither. We got back in the house fast. Hanging in there at -9 yet.
-
I went out and spread a wheelbarrow of sawdust on my trail in the woods. Filled the wheelbarrow full of firewood and hustled back to the shop. Didn't dawdle out there.

Back to the office after dutifully returning the wife's car home to her. 8 above outisde so I plugged in the dirt-burning milkhouse heater under my desk. Thought of roony warming his tootsies while napping by a nice wood burning stove. Life isn't fair sometimes... :pouty:

We have -21. With a breeze our feels like is -37

Whoa, guys! Normally I envy y'all who get to live in the hinterlands, but not this morning. Brrrr.
-
No kidding. Sometimes the wind here levels the playing field but not this a.m. Some wind chills overnite of -23 when the low was -6 but nothing stupid. Definitely felt colder doing chores last nite when it was above zero yet than this morning. Damn wind sucks it right out of you.
-
it is a heat wave and warming up this morning. Only -13 and rising. Was -17 when I got home. Once it gets past about -10 its just plain cold. I started my truck this morning and the Duramax just groaned instead of swearing at me today.
-
Minus 1 here headin for 15 today. But, we're under a winter weather advisory for tomorrow, freezing rain, sleet and snow for the most part of the day.

talking snow here in the morning, less than an inch... oh well... we will see then.. have a good time tomorrow..
-
Talking < 1/2" sleet & snow here tonite but the potential for .1" - .2" of ice accumulation tomorrow, topping out around 32 for a high. The worst thing is it could carry on into the evening. Not exactly what we were hoping to hear. :huh:
-
I see after it got light out we did get a slight amount of snow over night.. and it looks like it could snow at any time too..
-
Have had a wintry mix including snow, freezing drizzle & of course, the dreaded graupel. Mostly snow presently as a small cell passes over us. Temp is around 30. Should be the high. Appears we'll get more weather as the afternoon goes on so a good day to have Poppy cuddle up and help me nap.
-
getting more blue on mn511.. time to head out... stay safe all!!
-
Sure is dark and gloomy out. I turned the game on and I may take a dutchnap.
-
Ran a few errands today and stopped at a grocery store. Got maybe 5 items. Cashier asked if we were stocking up for the big storm coming in. I must have looked confused. This may become my everyday look.
Anyway, she told me we might get a couple inches of snow. I may have upset her when I told her I didn't think 2" of snow and no wind would be called a "storm" in Minnesota in December.

A very fine mist & 30 when I headed to HH a little after 4. Got a guy who works for the county that's usually there & he said the state guys were loading up on brine & heading out as he was leaving work. I 35 from Clear Lake to about Manly/ Forest City/Hwy 9(~ 20 miles) was nothing but black ice & there was quite a few tractor trailers in the ditch, jackknifed, or on their side. Minutes later a couple guys walked in that had just been over there & they said it was worse than that. They said they felt kind lucky to make it back to town when they did. It was a wintry mix on my way home & the streets in town were even starting to get pretty slick. :doah:

4:30 am and maybe a 1/2 inch! :doofus: :scratch:

:scratch: The hourly says snow this morning, a break about noon, then more this afternoon. Close to 2" possible. :confused:

Nothing here yet as far as snow but it is windy. Pitch black out yet.

Strong south wind. Snowing pretty good. Looks like they're calling for 3-5" here in sw B.E. county. I may get to use my snowblower. Cool.
-
My sister and brother in the Cities said it is a mess there.
-
Looks like it's snowing pretty good up at the lake on the resorts's camera.

It's still coming down up at the lake, Geiger's railing looks like it must have about 2" on it.

Snowed for a long time here in Warroad. But fine snow so maybe an inch or hair more.

This is a fun weather type of thing that I think about every summer and winter. Tomorrow as you know is the shortest day of the year. Here in Baudette sunrise is: 8:09 Sunset is: 4:25. In Luverne sunrise is: 7:55 Sunset is: 4:51. So in the same great state sunrise is 14 minutes different and sunset is 26 minutes different. SO 40 minutes shorter days here in the winter and appx 40 minutes longer in the summer.
Baudette days now are 8:16 long and Luverne days are 8:56 long.
This is the first time I thought about this: That may have an effect on hunting start and stop times?????
-
Interesting point. I know the times are different east to west, but I never thought about north and south. Go figure. I checked the sunrise and sunset tables for the northwestern Minnesota town of Hallock and the southeastern town of Caledonia. The sunrise times were 8:18 for Hallock and 7:36 for Caledonia. That's 42 minutes difference. Interestingly, the sunset times only varied by two minutes. 4:34 and 4:32. Strange for sure.
-
Actually, I look at that quite often as I keep here & Inger both tabbed on TWC's homepage. Like today here we're just 1 minute short of 9 hours from sunrise to sunset, 7:39-4:38. But at the lake the day is only 8 hours & 26 minutes long as it's sunrise to sunset times are 8:01-4:27. Then in the Summer those times are reversed as the days are longer at the lake. That's on 2 locations roughly 400 miles apart.

That is about how far it is from Baudette to Luverne. About 400 miles

During hunting season all I go by is the sunrise/sunset table in the hunting regulations. Those are different than weather apps. Sunset is usually later in the regs.

:happy1: its pretty much what i do also..........especially in the morning.
as far as the evening.........it depends on if we have an anterless permit. if its getting to the point where you cant tell if it has horns or not..........i'm heading out. i'm not taking that risk.............i'd rather let a deer walk then make that mistake........... :doah: no wanna go there!!!! :tut:
-
The MN regs usually show sunise/sunset tables with fixed +/- time deltas as you move from east to west - something like 4 or 5 minutes for each band on the map.
Frank Watson publishes a Weather Watcher calendar that has a sunrise/sunset chart/map that is more accurate each month. The time offset bands are not actually vertical across the state, they are slanted. And the closer it gets to the solstice, the more they slant.
So especially later in the season, when you follow the legal shooting times, it may be lighter or darker than you expect depending on if you are in the north or south part of the state.

I followed the dnr's sunrise/set for years. But now it's so much easier on the weather apps where ever your standing , spot on. I am worried about getting rid of the time change, we all will be sleeping in with it getting light later in the morning. Rooster hunting might start at 10 vs 9...

Gorgeous start to the day so far here. Should make the mid-40's. Fog was already lifting around 7 a.m. It's great to see the sun after such a long stretch of cloudy weather. Almost looks like the lawn has greened up again after the rain totaling .7" at the ranch & .87" in Bugtussle the past couple days.

a very nice sun rise this morning.. the fog here here has been clearing up as sunrise rolled in for us.. even better looking outside now!!!
-
Was outside about 8 and could feel mist on my face. Now it is light snow. The ground is as slippery as an ice rink from all of the melting we had. It didn't soak in just made puddles that froze.
-
Was some miniature graupel here around lunchtime. Roads remain in good shape for New Year's Eve. The ditches might be a different story... :scratch:

really lite snow here..

The weather ball will soon be Lavender & Pink.
I'll be labeled a racist for this but oh well.
Anybody notice after Floyd & Covid every station has a black lead anchor? There are minority reporters everywhere also. Now I'm not saying this is bad but it just hopped off the page for me.

i dont watch many other news other then #4. i know the noon anchor , Sheila Reeves is black, but the 5-6-and 10 broadcast is still white ...with frank and Amelia, shafer and max for sports!!
the CBS evening news with Nora is mostly white with mixed race field correspondents.......and no i'm not racists!!! but i sometimes find it not hard to be with some of the other races acting the way they do!!!!!! :confused: :confused: :bonk:

I watch very little TV news or weather except Sunday morning. According to them, the TC & a few counties surrounding it are all that matter. The rest is truly just rocks & cows in their eyes. Hadn't been paying attention much but you're right dutchy. It's been happening elsewhere too in places such as the U of M, where DEI hires have accelerated as researchers have retired and they've actually bothered to fill the position or have created new ones, funneling the money to push the green raw deal agenda. That's fine but trying to decipher the info thru the thick foreign accents during presentations is challenging. It helps if they include a written summary on a thumb drive so you can try to figure out what they said later.

Thought we might see a dusting this afternoon here in SC MN but that's looking unlikely at this point. Also cutting the predicted accumulation for Saturday nite down to <1/2". Will make it much more difficult to track sasquatch... :coffee:

I think the skiff of snow we got was the big event. Doesn't look like much is going to happen now.
-
We wound up getting more than I thought we would after looking at the radar late afternoon yesterday. It was falling apart before it got here. .4" at the ranch & . 3" in Bugtussle after dark mostly. It got the ground white, most of it anyway. Talking 1" - 2" of snow Saturday nite here.

Looks like about 3-4 inches here. But now the wind is going strong. 25 mph gusting to 35. And Temps dropping. probably not worth using the snow blower until it settles down.

I saw an overnight low of -12°F. Will it be significantly colder up north? Just my opinion here but , -12°F isn't that cold for this time of year. We've all seen colder. I still like the cold.

-
saying -16 and -21 Sat night and Sunday night here...
-
NWS forecast calling for lows of -9 Saturday nite & -14 Monday & Tuesday nite. Sunday's high -2 & -4 Monday. Yee hah. The good news is next week looks more promising once we get past Tuesday, with highs back in the upper 20's & low 30's, possibly sailing on thru the end of the month like that on some longer term outlooks. Also some indicating more potential for snow as we move into Feb.
-
snowing good now!!
-
Got graupeled on yesterday about 4:30 in the afternoon. Temp is up to 36 now with wind out of the NW at 15 mph. Have been gusts over 20. When you get out of the wind, it's downright pleasant. Waiting for the other shoe to drop over the weekend. Some chilly temps ahead but we're lucky there isn't much snow cover or it would likely be much colder.
-
I messed around in the woods for a while after the wind went down a bit. It was nice and comfortable. It sounds like the wind will be doing its thing tomorrow.
-
Nice March evening. Wind is down. Got the round bale put in place while wearing my Speedos... :coffee:

Wind really picked up. Bird feeders is a swinging in that wind!

At the retirement luncheon a buddy said 64 MPH gusts were recorded in Grand Forks this morning. Windy as heck here too. Looks like a blizzard on the country roads. Gonna be some drifting.
-
The wind is still NNW @ 22 here, so the WC is -9. Windchills of -25 to -35 predicted for tonight here.

Wind really picked up. Bird feeders is a swinging in that wind!
Are you sure it wasn't just you wobbling back and forth after one too many toddies? :scratch:
Presently 5 above with a wind chill of -13 presently. Supposed to get up to 10 but at least there'll be 15 - 20 mph winds gusting to 30. :coffee:

-
I see Waseca topped out at 1.4 above zero. Overachieved once again. Yet more concrete evidence of global climate change... :coffee: I feel better about their forecasting prowess here at the ranch. We only managed -1 for a high. -12 forecast low for tonite. -6 for a high tomorrow. Bought some lithium batteries for the outdoor temp sensor as recommended in the instructions. Says it may not function properly in temps under -4 F. So far it's been right in the ballpark but always striving to maintain accuracy. 🌡️

-13 here at the moment. took the garbage out and didnt feel 1/2 bad with little to no wind. started the vehicles this afternoon.....fired right up!! :happy1:
finish watching thefootball game......then snuggle :sleazy: with the dawg :pouty: :shocked: more the nlikely!!! :bonk: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

Great! Now some fruit or vegetables will die driving up prices causing a world catastrophe which will be blamed on some fat guy in the White House! Dang Climate Change! :taz: :taz: :bonk: :rotflmao:

Was -22 when I got going this morning...-11 now. If it snows where theres a football game going on thats a good thing. Otherwise I don't care.

dutchy.....the college national championship is tonight......where its played at.......i dont know!!!!
was -22 when i went to the store at 4;45 am.......-10 now and it felt warmer this morning then now.....damn wind!!!

Swapped the alkaline batteries out of the outdoor thermometer sensor with some lithium batteries last nite. Some of the units I've had in the past required that the batteries be removed for a specific period of time before replacing them. When replaced, they also needed be replaced in a specific sequence between the outdoor sensor and indoor display. Nothing in the owners manual about that other than it would take 20 - 30 minutes for the units to sync up. They did right about on schedule. Not a fancy device but it's a handy reference before venturing outside. Seems to be in the ballpark when comparing to local reporting stations.
Happened to look at the temp & windchill readings not far from where I lived in ND once upon a time. Temp at 9:30 a.m. in Rolla ND, it was only -26 but the wind chill was -56. 23 mph NW winds didn't help matters. Not exactly balmy here but it isn't nearly as brutal as it's been there. Remember days that were colder there too but they were calculating the wind chill differently. Good days to stay close to the fire regardless. :coffee:

Playing in the dome in Atlanta. Don't think i'll bother watching it. I think the player budget for OSU is higher than the Twins.

was watching the college national championship game and decided to see if all that inauguration :bs: was over, and noticed all the delays and closings scrolling on the bottom of the screen.
oh yea it was finally over!!!!! :happy1: :rotflmao:
something i noticed.....it seemed like draw a line across the state about st cloud. yea there were some schools north that were closed but most 2 hours late. but south alot of closures??? especially down in the big city! :scratch: :doah: not understanding that.
my union buddy friend that lives north of deer river says that school never starts late and rarely closes............no mention of it tonight yet. but down the road grand rapids starting 2 hours late.
-
I have -20 right now during the rasslin match. No way I want my grandkids out in this weather, not the way parents dress their kids these days.
-
Went to HS basketball game in Waseca. Drove the Impala. It started right up at home. Went togo home and it just wouldn't start. Tried and tried. The warden and I were trying to decide wtf we were going to do. I tried one more time and it started! Thank the Lord! It's good to be home. 17 below on the car thermometer.

That is a terrible feeling Roony. Wasn't a big deal when younger and had lots of buddies to help. A little more challenging now in early middle age. :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

-20 overnite & -17 at choretime. Luckily chores are only a half hour to 45 minutes when nothing is birthing. Wind was worse during evening chores than this a.m. The only thing I'm having problems with (other than glenn of course :rotflmao: ) is getting the gaiter adjusted on my face so it doesn't fog my glasses up. Must've had it right last nite but this a.m. when I got in the lambing barn my glasses fogged up and I couldn't see squat. There's a ram in with that group so you're defenseless if you can't see him fixin' to take a whack atcha. Pickemup was a little grumpy about starting but it took off. The windows were all thawed off by the time I showered & hopped in to head to Bugtussle. The frost is like it's glued on so don't even bother to scrape it. Had rocketed up to -14 by then. See in Waseca it's reached -11. Things are lookin' up. :happy1:
-
Won't be long and we will be complaining about the humidity & skeeters.

It's still gonna be cold doing chores methinks. Says it's 9 above but the wind is blowing out of the south at 20 mph, gusting to 26 for a wind chill of -10. Stood outside for a while fueling up. Pickup was thirstier than I thought so had to jump back in the cab to stay warm. :cold:
-
Man just went outside to tend the fire and grain Bucko. That wind is howling more than it was earlier. Gusting to 31 I see.

A guy I know is fond of saying "there is nothing colder than being on the north end of a south wind.

We have gotten 3"-4" of snow this evening and it is 4 above.

Now that I look out it looks like we have a good 3" too. Looks fluffy. I need to plow that up today and that will help with dog turds too. LOL
-
Florida had over 9 inches of snow over night
-
Wouldn't it have been terrible to go there for a week and have it snow? What a bummer.
-
I do know some folks that are there!!! :rotflmao:
-
We had just enough snow overnight to turn the ground a little white again.

THIS, is why they changed it from "Global Warming" to "Climate Change"

I got graupeled on again just before getting to Owatonna ~11:30. Wind has been gusting up to 40 mph this afternoon. Once I get done dicking around outside, it'll be time for some cocoa, maybe some popcorn & a glenn nap.😴

Man it IS cold outside with that wind. We had more snow than I thought. Just got done plowing. Will fill the Ranger with wood tomorrow when it will be nicer. 13 here now.
-
Finished blowing snow and put the blower away. On my way to fill bird feeders noticed big swaths of the paths were already drifted over.
-
It started spitting some light snow ~ 11:45 & coming down pretty good now. TWC's site is still sayin 2-4" but the 24/7 cable radar channel said 1-2" last I checked. :confused: Wind has picked up too.
-
slowing down now.. less than an inch for sure.. but Sunday night they are saying 3 to 5 inches maybe...
-
Have yet to see any snow yet today. As long as there's no graupel... :coffee:
-
still some lite snow here..
-
On and off up here in da northland. I doubt we have an inch yet. But a few times with the snow and wind is couldn't see the other side of the lake! :rotflmao:

exact same here, less than an inch easy and really thick at times..
-
At least 2" up on this end of the driveway & it might've been closer to 3" when we got down to the road. Went & got a paper after they'd plowed CR 35, which was ~ 9:30. The wind is starting to blow the snow around pretty good now again. :rolleyes:
-
As of 11:00 this morning, no snow, no wind. Lots of clouds and 38°.
-
4-5” here in the beautiful Brainerd lakes area. Just got done snow blowing. The wind does seem like it’s picking up.
-
done snowing here, now wait for the township to plow the roads and then fire up the snowblower
-
It's icing a little here in God's country.
-
Got some sprinkles here in Bugtussle. Not showing up on the radar but is on the BWH windshield... :coffee:
-
couldn't wait, got everything done until the township goes by
-
thinking we had maybe 3 inches. we also got some freezing rain after i got to the store... my windshield was iced over.
i heard grumblings on the news more on wed and mayhaps the weekend but didnt pay much attention......i was busy. :doah:
-
We've been getting a real fine light snow since late morning here, plenty of wind to blow it around too. Very little to no accumulation when I went to check the mail ~ an hour ago.
-
same here Gunner, all afternoon on
-
Same here. Got us all plowed up but have a light coat from todays light snow.
-
-3 here and the sun is so strong that water is dripping off the buildings here at the ranch.

snowin pretty good here........ :snow5: :snow5: :snow3:

Kind of a "wintry mix" falling here presently. Some freezing drizzle & light snow. Nothing remotely close to us on the radar, that's how light it is. Of course one stupid, uncooperative ewe decided to start the lambing process outside, during chores, in the dark. Dumb as in dumb, chit as in chit...:rolleyes:

We are close if not to the 3 inches already
-
Same here. I had to towel the dogs off when they came in. They looked like snowdogs.
-
Dumping good here too. Probably 4-5" so far. Bring it!!
-
I agree, Scenic, with how low the lake was last fall when we pulled our gear I won't be :violin: :violin: :violin: :cry: :cry: :cry: at all about how much more snow we get before it all starts to melt.
-
maybe 1 to 2 inches here last night...
-
I just spent 45 minutes or so on the Grizzly & on my 2nd pass I seen the county plow coming when I got down to the T where the blacktop turns to go south. We have 3" just about everywhere except for on this end of the driveway where it drifts more & out on our gravel road there was more too. My hands were getting cold & the wind was picking up already when I said it was good enough for now.
-
guessing we may have 3 inches here. but good gawd is that wind plowing!!!!! :surrender: from the north.....wonder why..... :sleazy: :mooning: :rotflmao:
just gonna put the blower shoot straight up and let the wind do the rest!!!!!! :happy1:
oh yea......checked the weather on my phone about 3;45 am and already a winter storm warning has been issued here for saturday!!!
-
Debating whether I want to put the chains on the tractor in anticipation of the weather terrorist's predictions for 3" - 7" of snow on Saturday. Pretty sure if I do it'll be a lite dusting. If I don't, we'll get a foot. :embarrassed: At times like these I have ask myself, what would roony do? :scratch:

I would take a Glenn nap.

Great idea too. I am taking one as soon as the wife leaves. :sleazy: I am thinking now that we got a solid 4". Drifting pretty good in the driveway. With the wind from the west it doesn't feel to bad outside here at the moment. I see gusts up to 37 are expected.

Ooh I'm scared now! :rolleyes:

Judging by the dog prints in the driveway we got around 2" to 3" last night. :happy1:
-
They sure hyped up this storm, and we ended up with nuttin south metro....
-
So far, judging by cat and chicken prints, we have no snow here in SW Blue Earth County.
-
Just a few itty bitty flakes started coming down here.
-
About 3” in the Brainerd lakes area and still snowing. My get another 3
-
Looks like 3-4 inches here. Roads are completely covered.
-

I walked out about 7:35. It had just started snowing. I light north breeze.
-
still not sure how much snow we got but I'm thinking pushing 5 inches.. got it all cleaned up for this round.. now to just wait for the next round
-
Looks like it's outta here for now. 2.3" storm total. Landscape is white.. Looks & feels like winter again. :coffee:
-
Snow is pretty much done. Still got a fair north wind. I can still see plenty of grass.
-
Nothin here overnight but I still spent another hour or so out there cleaning up again. I put my Gor-Tex on just to stay dry, it wasn't bad at ll. :happy1:
-
i got water dripping from my foyer and garage roof!!!!!! i noticed this about a week ago even on the deck...........the sun is getting to have a wee bit more power. the little bit of snow on the deck would slowly puddle and dry up!!!
in the words of the famous LPS.............spring is near!!!!!!!! :cheerleader: :dancinred: :rotflmao:
-
I think the sun is getting more potent. Quite a bit of the dusting of snow we got yesterday is gone.
It's been almost a year since I used my new snowblower.
-
We have 1 day in the 10-day with the high in the double digits here & that's Friday. There's ~ a 40% chance of snow that day too.
-
yea enjoy today.....its the warmest its gonna be for most the week!!!! :doah: :cold: :cold:

Started snowing here about 1:30 or so. We still have brown grass and big cracks in the ground.

I hear ya, spose your truck doesn't even warm up before shutting it down, that's hard on a vehicle. Talking -5 when I go in tomorrow but sinking further to -10 by 6.. I tell ya tho the angle of the sun makes it feel better when it's out nowadays.
-
It is -1 here and could see -27 tonight. Like you said even though it is this cold the sun and no wind really helps. Just picked up dog doo and had to put the dogs in the house. Jakie's feet get cold fast. He now runs to the pasture poops quick and runs back to me and we go in the garage to tend the fire. Then we get all ready and run to the barn to grain Bucko. Then run to the house and get them inside.

:pouty: gonna be short lived......terrorists are saying -15 to -20 tomorrow morning!!!!!! :confused: when i head to the store at 4;45. days like that i wonder why??????? :scratch:
I hear ya, spose your truck doesn't even warm up before shutting it down, that's hard on a vehicle. Talking -5 when I go in tomorrow but sinking further to -10 by 6.. I tell ya tho the angle of the sun makes it feel better when it's out nowadays.
i start it up and let it run 15-20 minutes on mornings like that
-
When we get around -10 or below, we usually let Poppy out first to do her business, then put her back in the house. Those little hind feet get pretty cold pretty fast on mornings like those. Talking -12 tomorrow so we'll probably go that route. Sunday nite thru Tuesday nite sound worse.
-
About this time of year I get pretty tired of winter.

WCCO @ 4:00 said 10 more days of this before temps get back to near normal. Except for Friday, when they're talking snow, 1-2", mainly for the SE part of the state. :rolleyes:
-

Amen, Roony. I just try to keep busy and not think about it.
The thing is we all bellyache about it, but then it seems like all of a sudden we have mosquitoes and humidity to beech about.

My dog does not like when it goes below zero. I have some booties that they use for sled dogs, but I haven’t bothered to use them. I just let him come back in sooner.
I did buy him a jacket that Costco had for about $10.00, but I left it at my second house. He really seemed to like it. I looked for another one, but all they had left were for little dogs.
-
We have thought about getting booties but wasn't sure what sizes.
-
The booties I have had for my dogs were not expensive and are meant only to be used on snow. They wouldn’t last long on pavement or gravel. They also weren’t very expensive. Almost like a sock with a Velcro belt to hold them on. I bought blaze orange just in case one slipped off in the snow, which only happened once.
Size is measured by placing a foot on top of a measuring tape.
I had tried more expensive ones that had rubber soles and went quite a way up my Gordon Setter’s legs. Didn’t work well—he flailed around in them and they made a graceful dog look like a klutz. Plus they were probably 4 times the price.

Great info TT. Thanks.

looking at the extended forecast........the weekend of 22-23 looking like spring is here!!!!! :rotflmao: :rotflmao: in to 30s!!! spearchuckin closes that weekend.......but i'm gonna pass on that.....i'm good with pike till fishin opener!!!!!
pretty tempting to head north then. for sure a trip in March though!!!

Up to 0! (and the crowd goes wild!) Tomorrow could be nasty here with winds up to 30 mph out of the southeast. We've got ~3" of snow to blow around now & with another 2" - 4", might be interesting. Shearing on Saturday so trying to keep the brood ewes dry may be an adventure. Fortunately there are only 16 or 17 of those. If I peel off some hunks off the round bale with the pitchfork and toss it inside, that might appease them until they can be shorn. The wife put some gloves on the floor register to dry after getting them soaked with lamb goo last nite. Poppy found them & chewed the tips off the fingers. Will likely be seeing Poppy terds with blue yarn in them in the yard. :doah:
-
her own blue man show!! :rotflmao:
-
At least its pretty calm today. You must have more snow than we do Dotch. Don't let it all blow over here tomorrow.
You always get all the snow and wind.
-
Gee wiz, were up to 10 above here and in the sun it ain't half bad. Pretty sad what one gets used too.. Looking at next week it gets pretty fugly before it gets better.
-
I agree it was surprisingly nice out today.
-
Temp was an improvement this a.m. but that SE wind gets your attention. Something's afoot and it might be 4" - 7" of snow. Heavier going east from here according to the weather terrorists. That I can deal with. It's the cold that's supposed to follow that takes the fun out of it. :coffee:
-
they are confused for here.. first it's 1 to 3 inches and then it's back to an inch.. I'll find out when it's done I guess.. :rotflmao:
-
Light fluffy flurries here now. Gonna head down to fill up the truck, then I font give a rip what it does.
Me and da dawg are just gonna hang out :happy1:
-
Just started snowing here.
-
started snowing here to about 35 minutes ago
-
Punched out at 1:30, by the time I drove 3 blocks to the freeway it was almost a white out.
-
Just started snowing here.
Similar start time here. Looks like it's about outta here for the time being with predicted amounts of less than an inch for tonite. Tossed a bunch of hay in the lambing barn to coax the brood ewes inside. There were a half dozen or so that were stubborn but they all went in by 3:15. I thought about putting the chains on the tractor but decided to see how it behaved w/o them. For the amount of snow we have and what's predicted, it should be fine. Looked behind me when scraping a path and noticed the bale spear was still on the 3 point! I had visions of poking a hole in a car, shed or garage door so took that off. :embarrassed:
-
kinda let up fpr a while, coming down again.........almost looks kinda purdy with it coming down, fluffy flakes and no wind!!!!

I think around the 24th there will be a big warmup. Spring is just around the bend.

18 degrees here today with the fresh fluffy snow. Everything looks so clean except around the bird feeder. lol To bad it couldn't stay like this instead of getting sub artic.
-
Hey Gunner, how much snow do you think you've gotten since you got back up there :scratch:
We had 4" just last Saturday & there was close to another 2" earlier that week, so that's at least 6", glenn. Tuesday it'll be 3 weeks this time around. Only paper we get up here, mike, is the Shopper twice a week. Our 10-day actually has 26 for Saturday the 22nd & 36 for the 23rd right now. :confused:

Yeah, we do go get 1 of those almost every week. :bonk:
-
Temps of -20 to -25 tonight & -25 to -30 Monday night forecasted, which means WCs are s'posed to be near -45. I do see a south wind in our 10-day on Friday though. :cool:
-
Looks like we need to get through this next week and then 40's!!!
-
Yep. Looks like we start a decent warm up next Friday. That might change.

The wind is gonna be brutal the next few days. The paper today said a chance of rain a week from now...

Here's a quick question for all you fine folks.
When you want or need to look at a weather forecast for the next couple of days, what source, or sources do you trust? I tend to go to NWS but our local TV station has a much better radar.
-

It's a union gig, some inside work and lotsa outside also. Shooting for 4 yrs, I'll only be 60 but if the stars aline I'll be done with full-time. Here's a quick question for all you fine folks.

NWS is usually tough to beat, but when it comes to phone apps like one meteorologist pointed out, they only have 1 source of info. Hourly is usually pretty close in temp is usually close but that's about it.

I see they've changed our 10-day a bit already. :bonk: Cooler on Friday now but Sunday through Tuesday have gotten warmer. Back to a WNW wind by Tuesday though, so it won't feel that nice then. Not gonna be surprised if they revise this 1 a time or 2 again. :rolleyes:

I wish we had local news and weather. Our local TV station is KEYC. We no longer get local (Mankato) news and weather in the mornings, noon or weekend. That all comes from Rochester, now.
We only get local news Monday through Friday, evenings and 10:00. It sucks.
-
Our local news comes from Fargo. How f___d up is that? They all bought areas years ago and that is still the way it is. I would rather have the Cities for the local so it is MN news not ND news. 6 miles east of here they get Duluth as the local news.
-
its the same here....all out of the cities!!!!!!!
even at the cabin.....the channels we get all come out of duluth........different weather there then where we are at. if ya want local up there the radio is what we have to go to. either Bemidji or grand rapids!!

Watching the #4 there's alot of schools closed or 2 hours late scrolling across the bottom of the screen including here ROCORI.

We have 3 cable stations that are 24/7 weather, 1 is out of Grand Rapids, & 1 of the others is out of Bemidji. But I usually go to the other 1 that is 24/7 local radar that's never more than 5 minutes old. That channel also has a constant NWS forecast for this area with current temps for both Bemidji & GR. I will check once every AM & see what WCCO's version is for the day too.

The wind here is gusting out of the south at 25.
-
Hi so far is 21 F at Waseca & 18 at the ranch. Sustained 22 mph here, gusting to 29. Making the wind chill ~ 7 above.
-
20 here
-
It made 19 here at the ranch earlier & has fallen back to 18. Was out repairing a manger, moved another one with the skidsteer & unloaded some feed. Wind is raw. Damn glad to be back in the house until choretime. Maybe I can convince Poppy to snuggle for a bit so I can warm up. 🥶
-
It got up to 23 here. A heat wave of 26 in Mankato!
-
Something that's apparent here in my travels is there is more snow cover than farther west. More standiing corn stalks, unworked bean stubble, hay & cover crops catching more snow. It's likely keeping us a few degrees cooler.
-
I think you got a little more snow there too.
-
With the sun getting stronger, we lost some of our snow. We didn't have much before. We got to 27°.
-
Upper 30's to low 40's here through next Thursday according to our 10-day. :happy1: That should take care of a little of our snow.

but then again you could go over and shovel out our road it,,,,,,,,,,, :sleazy: :happy1: since your always lookin fer something to do!!!!! :nerd: :nerd:
one thing i've noticed that past 3-4 days.....its been warmer up north then around here???????
-
Went to check the mail ~ 2:30...................& the thermometer out in the garage said 39 then. :happy1:
-
I was a tad surprised to see 46° on our thermometer. Not a lot of wind, either. Looks like more of the same tomorrow.
-
Nws says its 50 at the Waseca airport. Much of the snow is gone.
-
44 here and plenty of snow yet...
-
54 now, really overachieving!.
-
I see that. Meanwhile we topped out at 49. 48 the last time I checked...🌡️
-
i havent checked the temp lately...... but just came in from outside and i'm beginning to see more lawn and places were its nothing but slushy snow!!!!
-
We had 46 on the 1 in the garage around 3:00. Could hear the downspouts running pretty good then too.
-
44 was the highest I seen today
now I see we have a shot at some rain and wind gusts.. always interesting.. 33 for a low...
-
It got to 42 that I saw yesterday. When I put the wifes car in the garage it was raining here too. Just dropped to 36 from 37 as I was looking at it.
-
The radar looked pretty green up your way from early afternoon on, LPS. It even had a little blue in it at times. I was wondering how much of that actually hit the ground up there. :scratch:
-
Good morning, campers. Clear, 36° and barely a breeze this morning when I let the hens out. No frozen water to deal with.
Scrounged around yesterday and got my pile of scrap metal even bigger. I have to either get my scrap guy out here or find a different guy. Minor issue.
Might be a good day to see what fishing gear needs some attention.
Stay safe, everyone.

When I put the car in I thought well cool it is raining. Then I realized it was coming down harder than I thought and hurried up and got back in the house. Felt kind of good.
-
for all the green on the radar yesterday here we didn't get a drop here..
-
Never thought I'd see it but we have mud again in areas where it's thawed. Everyone was howling about how dry it was but the snow had enough moisture in it (~1/2" worth) to make it muddy. The worst place is on the north facing slope going to the main barn. It's mud on top of frozen soil there and you can easily fall on yer asset if yer not careful. Looked like we might get a sprinkle last nite but didn't see anything.
-
I was just out & I had to walk like a duck or I'd of been on my :moon:. It was nowhere near that bad yday. We have 8-10 large pines on the north side of the cabin & there's a south facing slope just this side of that. We have a lot more grass showing in that area today than we did yday. There's hardly any snow left on the garage roof & it's almost all up near the peak on the back side of the cabin as well. With that wind & the way the downspouts are all running already, I expect a lot more of the snow on the cabin roof to be gone by tomorrow too. :shocked:
-
yea kinsa wishing i'd of headed north to fish......oh well...... another time.

A few scattered sprinkles moving through. Fish houses made a mass exodus off St. Olaf Lake today. Water ponded here and there on the ice tonite. Still a few houses when I went by just before 4 p.m. :coffee:
-
It's starting to look like our warm spell could be about over here as the wind is expected to switch back to WNW early tomorrow here. Upper 30's for temps but that WNW wind near 10 will make it feel colder. More wind & mid 30's for Thursday & Friday, while barely making 20 with winds @ 20 for Saturday. Sure, was nice change after that bitter cold stretch. It looks nice again on Monday but back to normal after that.

Yes me too. Things are looking up. I was looking through an old Conservation Volunteer from 2007 and at that time there has only been 3 days since they started keeping track that had not had frost. July 17, July 21 and August 7.

Wowser! We went up to Vermillion once over the 4th of July and wished we would have brought winter clothes.

I remember drinking a beer in downtown Calvin ND on the 4th of July, prolly '82 or '83. There was frost on the roof of the guy's car.

raining here now... light rain...but rain!!!!! :scratch:
-
dry here...
-
A few hours ago, forecasts put our rain chances st 50% before 1 a.m. Ran around covering stuff up, putting things away & closing doors down just in case. Change that. Now 20% with the system appearing to have tracked south of us. Another worthless NWS forecast. If these little woke bastards only knew. 6 hours lead time please or I can guess better than that POS forecast based on the radar. Changing it last minute may make you appear correct but it does nothing for the end user.
-
Looks like a carbon copy of yesterday so far. Topped out at 48 at the ranch. Clouds are thinning out. I see the last of the fish houses are off of St. Olaf Lake. Still no robins as of this a.m.
-
Got a little sunshine here now too & it feels like the wind has backed off a bit from ~ 8-8:30 this morning. TWC's site now says 37 with a WNW wind @ 7 for a WC of 32. Got a couple people out on the bay, 1 with & 1 without a tent. Our gauge in the garage said 38.8 when I just checked it.
-
Beautiful day here, light breeze and 55 the pick em up said. Forgot to mention seen 2 crotch rockets on Sunday driving like a holes. While playing with the pooches earlier heard another. Just think a week ago we had the bibs on, today I dumped the hoodie.

Our clouds are back & they're still talking a 50-60% chance of some snow between 8:30 & 11 tonight.

I think I've been fighting that almost since we went home in November................then on Tuesday it acted kind of strange again. So, after the webcam did boot, I saved that URL to my favorites & deleted the old shortcut I had been using. It works much better now. :confused:

Looks like we'll get today & tomorrow then cool down Saturday. Will be a comfortable day for us to shear however.

Along with his pop cans, boober would be picking the patio furniture up over at the neighbor's several blocks away today! 54 mph gust reported at Waseca at 12:55. I'd believe it. I was at DG a little bit ago. I thought the roof was gonna come off! :shocked:

seen a brand new house that just got shingled in the last couple weeks getting peeled off from the wind...
-
44 and gray here, still saying rain over night with some snow too..
-
Current forecast here looks like rain likely tomorrow after 2 p.m. then snow mixed with rain in the evening hours, becoming all snow by 2 a.m. Accumulation of 3" - 7" possible. When I was in roony's hometown at the DQ ~2 pm., the snowfall amount in the forecast had been drastically reduced. Looks like we're more than likely on the northern and western edge so it's possible it may trend east if past storms this winter are any indication.

saying 1 to 3 inches of snow now.. we will see :rotflmao:
-
Listen to three different forecasts and get three different forecasts. About the only thing they agree on is strong winds.
-
All the forecasts have the snow staying down by Hwy 2, no mention of the big winds either. I did see 52 out in the garage about 3:00 yday though.
-
seeing some white stuff in the air...
-
Bite your tongue! :rotflmao: I heard a little thunder off to the west last nite during chores. Apparently we got .01" of rain in Bugtussle from that little ditty. Today, the NWS is saying a quarter to half an inch of rain starting early afternoon, then changing over to all snow by ~ 11 p.m. 4" - 8" of snow depending on when it changes over. The worst thing will be the wind gusting to 45 mph, hence the "Blizzard Warning" designation. Heard that CFS co-op is closing all locations for tomorrow in anticipation. Tractor has 3/4 tank of fuel & can dump another 5 gallons in the skidsteer. Not sure I really want to put the chains on the tractor for one fricking snowstorm but if it may force my hand. :undecided:
-
Snow is coming down pretty good in the Brainerd lakes area, and the wind is picking up.
-
After checking the gauge in town I checked at home before lunch. .02" from the overnite at the ranch. Has been some occasional drizzle so far this afternoon but that's it. Looks like they expect that to get serious in an hour or so. A tenth to a quarter inch of rain changing to snow, w/6" - 11" of snow forecast & lotsa wind. I bet it'll be 70 & clear at roony's... :pouty:

-
it appears that the majority of the snow has passed here.. wind is sure cranking..
-
Still very dark here but no snow of course. I see the wind has picked up though.
-
No snow, 33 with a N wind at 11 here.
-
It's funny how things change so fast, earlier our county wasn't even listed to get much, now it's 5-9 on the cellular app with blizzard conditions early morning. The drive in butt early tomorrow might just suck some..
-
Then again it is hockey tourney time...
-
Where are you near Bobb? I just walked down the driveway and back. I think it is about 250 yards. Was cool and windy but I need to put some miles on and get back in shape. Felt good.
-
Watching the news... ALOT of schools closing down south and blizzard warnings down dotch and roonys way.
Snowing here now
-
lite snow again here.. can still see some grass, but not much
-
Yeah, glenn, WCCO @ 4 already had quite a few closings down in the land of rocks & cows. Just checked 511mn & it's only the SW corner of the state, so far.

You got old timers lps?? South metro, you had my address..lol.
-
Still raining here in the land of rocks and cows, but in Mankato, the land of unicorns & fairies, it's snowing. Looks like it should change over to snow here within the hour. The gauge appeared to have ~.15" - .2" of rain in it. Will try to get the liquid measured before it freezes & starts snowing for the most accurate reading. Wind is ratcheting up. N wind at 26 mph, gusting to 35.

I knew I shouldn't have broke out the patio furniture.. :scratch: :rotflmao:
-
Gunner check 511 now... WOW all the color...

this is his fault!!! :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :happy1:
-
Big advantage of being retired. We don't have to go anywhere till Friday. I do feel sorry for folks that have to be out.
I bought a bottle of Windsor Canadian while I was out today.
-
rut roh, raggy...the rain changed over to snow earlier than anticipated & it's really comin' down. Could wind up being more snow than expected. :doah:
-
from what I'm hearing on the news, roony and Dotch got plenty of snow.. maybe Bobber too
-
There was a lot of purple on 511 north of Bobber's neighborhood when I hit the sack last night. Had to be at least 40, maybe 50 crashes, so the tow trucks will be busy most all day, I would think. :crazy:
-
I'd dumped out .66" of rain about 8:30 last nite when it was changing over to snow. My yardstick measurements came up with 8.2" but it is really hard to gauge. There are 2' drifts and areas where it has virtually blown clear. The guy in Ellendale measured 10.2" of snow and 1.84" of liquid equivalent precipitation. Currently looks like it's simmering down some.
-
It's a mess
-
just looked at 511.....still plenty colorful. :doah: accordingto that alot of roads are closed in the southwestern part of t he state....even I90!
lookin at the webcams up north...........looking good!!!!!!! :sleazy:
-
Long as the road to Inger is open you should be good... :coffee:

Not pretty out there. I live on an east/west state highway. Since 8:00 this morning, one pickup truck, one JD tractor.
-
Wind, rain nor snow will keep him from Inger.
Roads are good up this way. Might be some blowing snow in open spots that could be slippery.
Majority of it stayed south.

Got some paths shoveled so Poppy can do her business more easily. Thought the snow was deep right north of house but it's worse on the south side, up to 3' deep. Snow has stopped but the wind is still gusting up to 40 mph. Prolly wait for that to go down before getting after it with the skidsteer. Cage but no cab. :pouty:
-
At 2:20 this afternoon, I saw my first MNDoT plow of the day. Not complaining. I know them folks have been kind of busy the past few days. Kudos to them.
-
Took the warden to work around noon. Barely made it off my gravel road to one the county deems worthy of plowing. Its still plenty windy out there. I'll take my pickup when I go in to get her. Its a 2wd but the clearance underneath is nice. Not sure how much we got but it was great plenty. I see there was a major pile-up on 35 down in Iowa. Some people are having a bad day there.
-
I checked 511ia, roony, & there's ~ 20 miles of I 35 a little north of Ankeny still shut down. That stretch from Story City, which is ~ 15 miles north of Ames, all the way to Des Moines, which is ~ 45 miles, is a lot like driving in the TC during rush hour, all the time. :thumbs:
-
Yes we have a son and his family in KC so we drive that stretch a few times a year. Just drove it on Sat and Monday. We saw a few close calls.
-
Remeasured after moving the crap. Well over the 8.2" I measured earlier. 10.4". Probably the most miserable snow removal job I've ever done between heavy, wet snow, & 2" - 3" of mud on top of frozen soil. Yard looks like a disaster area. :embarrassed:
-
Yes Dotch, twas quite a mess.
-
Long as the road to Inger is open you should be good... :coffee:
:rotflmao: I'd have to sneak past Gunners place to get there, and he won't let me! :pouty: :rotflmao:
:tut: He must be going to stop there on his way up again....................as they had the porch light on already when we came home today. :sleazy: :kiss: ;) :rotflmao: :rotflmao:
-
:scratch:fishing! They're still yapping about a potential snowmaggeden Tuesday nite into Wed?
That may change ny plans! :confused:
-
no snow here during that time
-
A fire weather watch is out for SE No Dak and NE SD and western Minn. tomorrow and Monday. Winds up to 60 mph.
That means critical fire weather conditions are forecast to occur. Very windy and dry conditions forecast.

:scratch: not sure about around home but plenty of snow up here.

Maybe not for long, my 10-day has 5 of the next 6 days almost 50 or higher. :scratch:

My 10-day (TWC's site) says 56 with only a 22% chance of moisture on Friday, but then on Friday night cooling off to 38 with a 76% chance of ~ a 1/4" of rain. Then 41 & a 70% chance of another 1/4" of rain on Saturday but cooling off to 14 Saturday night. A 70% chance of 1-3" of snow then too. :scratch: That's a long way off, so I got to believe they'll change that. Even if it is as they say, it won't stay long & we sure can use the moisture.
-
I was more concerned about driving home in sh!tty weather and roads but not really anymore. I may head home Tuesday for sure Wednesday.
I shoveled out the fire ring :sleazy: we shall see where that leads! :rotflmao: :happy1:
Lots of water on the ice yesterday afternoon.
-
Same out on the bay, the puddles in the yard grew some too. Not much snow left up on the roof but the downspout by the egress window on the south side was sure running pretty good yday afternoon. I think that wind was responsible for a lot of the snow damage yday. Already been out to the barrel & it's blowing pretty good for so early again today. Only 31 on Tuesday but sunny & dry, is what I see.
-
I can deal with 31, I got heaters! :happy1:
Was windy yesterday too, almost had whitecaps :rotflmao: in my 8 inch holes inside my fishhouse. Nuttin to bank the house with.
-
There were at least 5 or 6 wheelers out on the bay here. Brother rode ours over to that NW access yday & he said there were 4 truck & trailer rigs all parked out right in front of the access. All were already turned around for a quick, straight shot to load & go too.
-
:scratch: :confused: good grief. :bonk: good thing i gotta drill a couple holes for the shavings to put on my beer. :rotflmao: and a can cooler. :rolleyes:
-
Just hit 50 here. Was out getting water to run off driveway. Pushed the burn pile up. Ran the dogs. Break time.
-
We made our 52, right about that time too.
-
hit 56 here and nicer tomorrow :happy1:
-
Made 54 at the ranch. The patches of snow shrunk significantly.
-
next Saturday's weather looks like it could interesting here... but we have 5 days in between here and there... so we shall see!!! :scratch: :confused: :rotflmao:
-
:scratch: An 80% chance of thunderstorms on Friday night in the long-range forecast here & WCCO's map makes it look like it could get here by late Friday morning. :confused: That could easily change by tomorrow though.
-
I remember the St Patrick's day storm in 1965. It was a doozer. A drunken Irishman who live about a mile and a half west of us got stuck on the road by our driveway. Dad and another neighbor got him in the tractor bucket and took him home driving in reverse all the way for fear he'd fall out.
-
'65 was a dandy, especially with all the flooding that followed. They had to deliver some of us to and from school in an Econoline van that spring. The roads wouldn't allow for school bus traffic without them rutting the gravel (crushed rock) roads up or getting stuck. The flooding on the Root River was spectacular to look at over by Cummingsville west of Chatfield.
Watching to see what this weekend develops into. So far, looks like the projected track and forecast are indicating rain after the mid-70's high on Friday. We're positioned to be on the east side of the low this time as it passes according to the map I saw earlier. High Saturday sound like 46 with a 19 degree low Saturday nite. Then back to winter for a few days. Just March doing March things... :sad:
-
I recall all the flooding in and around Mankato back then too
-
Careful out there, kids...
-
this friday is a beer and fire day.........or else!!!!!!! :rotflmao:
-
Was 58 around 1:30 when we left Bemidji. Just got home and it is 48 here on the north border.
-
saying 62 here.. and going down to 17 tonight!!!
-
Says 54 in Waseca presently. It'll need to hoof it if it's gonna get to 65 like they forecast.
-
61 here now. Light rain at 7:00.
-
Unreal! Just mixed up a manny and was going to sit on the deck with it. It was 48 here at 3:24. It is 39 and dropping fast here. Windy as heck too. The last I looked it is supposed to get down to 7 tonight and only about 30 for the high tomorrow. Oh well the ol freeze dry thing kicks in now. Oh ya, I am back in at my desk now. Was a short time on the deck. Didn't even get to sit down.
-
and i was just outdoors......still pretty nice here, as i was also pondering if i should bring my patio furniture up and rotate my winter / summer stuff in the back shed.....like put the snowblower away........BUT i dont wanna do a boober.....do it and it snows a foot!!!! :pouty: :rotflmao:
-
Ya I'm chomping at the bit fer the dance floor furniture, yard is just too wet to sit and entertain pooches. If they weren't talking rain /snow this weekend we'd be looking good. The chuckers can hold fuel til May as far as I'm concerned. The pick em up said 67 at one point coming home today, until I got close and it dropped to 63....coincidence??? Just kidding darling!! :bonk:
-
They took the snow chances out, & the wind has went NNW @ 16 & it's 41 here. It will get below freezing tonight & stay there all day tomorrow
-
WOW!! the wind really picked up!!
-
Forecast here is for 65 again on Friday. Colder and 2 inches of snow Friday night and 5-6 inches more on Saturday. :thumbs:
-
Still talking mid-70's here on Friday. I see the words "patchy blowing snow" have been added to our Saturday night forecast however. Sorta how our last go round started from 4 days out. :scratch:
-
They way it's shaping up further west will get the brunt of it, they can have it. I'll bring more wood downstairs just in case.
-
Not incoming weather but I've been reading about the blizzards of 1888. How weather prediction and preparedness have changed.
fascinating.

:scratch: Some blue (<1") on the radar heading our way, the hourly says ~ 60% chance for 11:00 & 12:00.

Hey, Tangle. What are you reading? That sounds like something I’d like to check out. I’ve read several accounts of the Armistice Day blizzard, but I don’t know much about 1888.
Of course, I was pretty young back then.
-
I read a couple of those books a few years ago. People survived in hay piles and then when they got up to walk the frozen blood went to their hearts and they fell over dead. Scary stuff.
-
:scratch: I noticed about mid-morning yday that the big driveway puddle out by the new shed looked like it shrunk about in 1/2 from when I 1st went out there ~ 8. It was a bit softer out there by then too. :cool:

i'm kinda surprised the ground is still as hard as a rock around here.......talked to the good neighbor lady thr other day...... her hubby does some stuff for the Kreamer outfit intown........they do all kinds of dirt stuff........she said the grave digger guy said frost was at about 5 ft.
-
Frost depth is starting to decrease. It was 20" at Waseca on the 10th. The walk in door on the barn is closing & latching again. Yard has firmed up as well. The LeSueur River was up substantially yesterday as the snow continues to melt. Most of what's left is in the road ditches, grassy areas & along rivers & streams.
-
There was a little water running out of the side of paper mill in GR 3 weeks ago. Then 2 weeks ago they had a couple gates cracked a bit & close to 1/2 of the river upstream of that bridge was open. Last week the gates were open a little more & it was all open upstream, plus probably at least 75 yards downstream of the bridge too. This week the Mississippi was close to 1/2 open where that big bend in the river is just east of Cohasset. Last week the next dam downstream from there, where the DNR has an office by that campground only had a small area on the south side open. This week it's open upstream just past that railroad bridge & downstream of that dam at least 50 yards. The puddle out between the garage & the new shed has shrunk from what it was when the neighbor just got here on Monday too. :confused:
