[tangle tooth]

      Listen to three different forecasts and get three different forecasts. About the only thing they agree on is strong winds.

All the forecasts have the snow staying down by Hwy 2, no mention of the big winds either. I did see 52 out in the garage about 3:00 yday though.

Bite your tongue!  I heard a little thunder off to the west last nite during chores. Apparently we got .01" of rain in Bugtussle from that little ditty. Today, the NWS is saying a quarter to half an inch of rain starting early afternoon, then changing over to all snow by ~ 11 p.m. 4" - 8" of snow depending on when it changes over. The worst thing will be the wind gusting to 45 mph, hence the "Blizzard Warning" designation. Heard that CFS co-op is closing all locations for tomorrow in anticipation. Tractor has 3/4 tank of fuel & can dump another 5 gallons in the skidsteer. Not sure I really want to put the chains on the tractor for one fricking snowstorm but if it may force my hand.

Snow is coming down pretty good in the Brainerd lakes area, and the wind is picking up.

After checking the gauge in town I checked at home before lunch. .02" from the overnite at the ranch. Has been some occasional drizzle so far this afternoon but that's it. Looks like they expect that to get serious in an hour or so. A tenth to a quarter inch of rain changing to snow, w/6" - 11" of snow forecast & lotsa wind. I bet it'll be 70 & clear at roony's...

[mike89]

it appears that the majority of the snow has passed here..  wind is sure cranking.. 

[LPS]

Still very dark here but no snow of course.  I see the wind has picked up though.

[Gunner55]

No snow, 33 with a N wind at 11 here.

It's funny how things change so fast, earlier our county wasn't even listed to get much, now it's 5-9 on the cellular app with blizzard conditions early morning. The drive in butt early tomorrow might just suck some..

Then again it is hockey tourney time...

Where are you near Bobb?  I just walked down the driveway and back.  I think it is about 250 yards.  Was cool and windy but I need to put some miles on and get back in shape.  Felt good.
