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.

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:
Title: Re: incoming weather
Post by: Dotch on February 02/20/23, 09:46:21 AM
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.

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.

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.

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.

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:
Title: Re: incoming weather
Post by: roony on February 02/22/23, 08:10:26 AM
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.
Title: Re: incoming weather
Post by: glenn57 on February 02/22/23, 08:39:07 AM
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!!!!!
Title: Re: incoming weather
Post by: roony on February 02/22/23, 08:55:10 AM
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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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".

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. 
Title: Re: incoming weather
Post by: Steve-o on March 03/02/23, 11:10:52 AM
Really?!?  I know we had a lot of snow, but I didn't think it was the most precip ever.  Where is SROC?
Title: Re: incoming weather
Post by: Dotch on March 03/02/23, 11:46:41 AM
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:

 :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.

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.

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.

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.    ;)

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.

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:

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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:

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.

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.

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.  🤞

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.

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:

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.

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.

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:

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.

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.

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.

Right after the snow storm our temps turn to the 50's.  It will be wet as heck for awhile melting that snow.

Anybody concerned about flooding again this year?

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:

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.

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.

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:

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

 :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:

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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:

That's good my mom lives just east of Princeton and she said last weekend they have only gotten 1.5" of rain since spring.

Yep, dry as a popcorn fart. Only mowed grass at the shop once this year.

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.

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:

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:

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.

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.

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.

Title: Re: incoming weather
Post by: Dotch on August 08/09/23, 11:07:40 AM
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.   
Title: Re: incoming weather
Post by: roony on August 08/09/23, 12:28:52 PM
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.

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!!!!
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.
Title: Re: incoming weather
Post by: LPS on August 08/10/23, 07:16:08 AM
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.

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.

Post by: Dotch on August 08/11/23, 07:10:15 PM
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
Title: Re: incoming weather

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.

When I looked at the forecast this morning it said around 2 pm and a 50% chance and a 100% chance tonight

Post by: Dotch on August 08/13/23, 02:01:21 PM
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:

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:

Slight chances here for Tuesday-Wednesday but that's as good as it'll get for a while.

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.

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...

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.

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.
Title: Re: incoming weather

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.

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:

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:

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.

Post by: Dotch on September 09/26/23, 08:51:52 AM
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.

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:

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.
Title: Re: incoming weather
Post by: Dotch on October 10/11/23, 10:45:16 AM
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.     
Title: Re: incoming weather
Post by: Dotch on October 10/11/23, 07:03:03 PM
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.

Title: Re: incoming weather
Post by: Dotch on October 10/12/23, 11:03:45 AM
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.

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.

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.

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.

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:

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.

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.

Post by: Dotch on October 10/26/23, 11:41:45 AM
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.

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:

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.

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.

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".

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.

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.

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.

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.

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:

there was frost in the ground here but after the next few days???   I don't know..   
Title: Re: incoming weather
Post by: Dotch on December 12/24/23, 11:19:25 AM
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.

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.

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.

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.

      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.

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.

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:

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:

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.

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.

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:

It's not throwing in the towel yet here. Still snowing with visibility ranging from a couple hundred feet to half mile.

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.

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.

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.

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:

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.

Post by: roony on January 01/18/24, 10:53:12 AM
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.

We are going to have 30's for the highs along with some 40's for the next couple of weeks it looks.  Will be close to 50 middle of next week.  Mayhaps Dotch will get his lawn chair out and relax a bit.    :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

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.

Post by: Dotch on January 01/26/24, 10:15:00 AM
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.

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.

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:

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. 😋

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.

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.
Title: Re: incoming weather
Post by: Dotch on February 02/27/24, 03:22:17 PM
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:

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.

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.

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.

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

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:

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:

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.

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.

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.

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.

Yup.....snow on the way.....6-8 inches here by next Tuesday.
Title: Re: incoming weather
Post by: Dotch on March 03/20/24, 03:30:28 PM
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.

Post by: KEN W on March 03/20/24, 03:46:30 PM
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:
Title: Re: incoming weather
Post by: Dotch on March 03/21/24, 09:37:12 AM
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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Hey gunner in your outside travels,  is there a crust under the snow?

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.

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:

Baxter, I thought they were on the outside edge of the heavy map stuff?

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

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”.

: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.
