I'd have to sneak past Gunners place to get there,  and he won't let me!

      Not pretty out there. I live on an east/west state highway. Since 8:00 this morning, one pickup truck, one JD tractor.

Wind, rain nor snow will keep him from Inger. 

Roads are good up this way.  Might be some blowing snow in open spots that could be slippery.
Majority of it stayed south.

well with chicks the likes of what Iowaboy posted.........

Got some paths shoveled so Poppy can do her business more easily. Thought the snow was deep right north of house but it's worse on the south side, up to 3'  deep. Snow has stopped but the wind is still gusting up to 40 mph. Prolly wait for that to go down before getting after it with the skidsteer. Cage but no cab.

      At 2:20 this afternoon, I saw my first MNDoT plow of the day. Not complaining. I know them folks have been kind of busy the past few days. Kudos to them.

Took the warden to work around noon. Barely made it off my gravel road to one the county deems worthy of plowing. Its still plenty windy out there. I'll take my pickup when I go in to get her. Its a 2wd but the clearance underneath is nice. Not sure how much we got but it was great plenty. I see there was a major pile-up on 35 down in Iowa. Some people are having a bad day there.

[Gunner55]

I checked 511ia, roony, & there's ~ 20 miles of I 35 a little north of Ankeny still shut down. That stretch from Story City, which is ~ 15 miles north of Ames, all the way to Des Moines, which is ~ 45 miles, is a lot like driving in the TC during rush hour, all the time. 

[roony]

Yes we have a son and his family in KC so we drive that stretch a few times a year. Just drove it on Sat and Monday. We saw a few close calls.

[Dotch]

Remeasured after moving the crap. Well over the 8.2" I measured earlier. 10.4". Probably the most miserable snow removal job I've ever done between heavy, wet snow, & 2" - 3" of mud on top of frozen soil. Yard looks like a disaster area.   

[roony]

Yes Dotch, twas quite a mess.

He must be going to stop there on his way up again....................as they had the porch light on already when we came home today.             

[glenn57]

 :scratch:fishing! They're still yapping about a potential snowmaggeden Tuesday nite into Wed?

That may change ny plans!

[mike89]

[Rookie]

A fire weather watch is out for SE No Dak and NE SD and western Minn. tomorrow and Monday. Winds up to 60 mph.
That means critical fire weather conditions are forecast to occur. Very windy and dry conditions forecast.

[glenn57]

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

[Gunner55]

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

So, it must've been 90 in there about noon on Friday ..................when you were still "visiting" ................wasn't it?  Asking for a friend!!     

[Gunner55]

My 10-day (TWC's site) says 56 with only a 22% chance of moisture on Friday, but then on Friday night cooling off to 38 with a 76% chance of ~ a 1/4" of rain. Then 41 & a 70% chance of another 1/4" of rain on Saturday but cooling off to 14 Saturday night. A 70% chance of 1-3" of snow then too. That's a long way off, so I got to believe they'll change that. Even if it is as they say, it won't stay long & we sure can use the moisture.

[glenn57]

I was more concerned about driving home in sh!tty weather and roads but not really anymore. I may head home Tuesday for sure Wednesday.

I shoveled out the fire ring  we shall see where that leads!

Lots of water on the ice yesterday afternoon. 

[Gunner55]

Same out on the bay, the puddles in the yard grew some too. Not much snow left up on the roof but the downspout by the egress window on the south side was sure running pretty good yday afternoon. I think that wind was responsible for a lot of the snow damage yday.. Already been out to the barrel & it's blowing pretty good for so early again today. Only 31 on Tuesday but sunny & dry, is what I see.

[glenn57]

I can deal with 31, I got heaters!

Was windy yesterday too, almost had whitecaps  in my 8 inch holes inside my fishhouse.  Nuttin to bank the house with.
