incoming weather

[Gunner55]

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.

[mike89]

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. 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.

and i reckon your right there with him!!! then your sending it to me!!!!

thinkin this storm is a dud and the weather terrorists totally suck.

i've lived here for over 30 years......and i've learned in that time the city doesnt plow side streets till the storm/system is about petered out...........they plowed about an hour ago!!!!!!!

[mike89]

yea i dunno……..this storm of the supposed century sure hasnt been so vicious yet!!!!

read this some where else, who said the storm was going to be that big????   I never seen that!!!   

by the way I'm not complaining at al so far...

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.

[HD]

10-12" here so far at 4am.
Just plowed the drive.
Heavy & wet....be careful, don't have a heart attack....

[roony]

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.

[LPS]

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". 

[LPS]

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.

[Gunner55]

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.

[LPS]

Ok, I just saw some snowflakes.  I mean actual snowflakes.  LOL

[mike89]

windy here

[Gunner55]

Started coming down harder ~ a 1/2 hour ago here.

[Pulleye16]

yeah, only about 5" here

[KEN W]

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. 

[LPS]

Just enough snow to make the driveway white.

[mike89]

come on down and get some here!!!   

[Gunner55]

  He doesn't have to go that far!! Probably got at least another 1" since ~ 8 here.

[mike89]

some folks were real busy!!!   

[LPS]

How much snow do you have Mike?  Glenn is it snowing there?

[mike89]

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...   

[Dotch]

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. 

[Gunner55]

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 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.

[mike89]

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...   

[glenn57]

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.

[mike89]

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!!   

[roony]

The grass is greener after this precipitation. Good to see!

[Gunner55]

Just came in , & 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.
