Winter Storm

[Gavin Allan]

We've got a coat of ice on everything and it is sleeting now. Supposed to get 14"-18" of snow today/tonight!



Too bad I haven't gotten around to hooking up the used snow blade I got cheap last summer for the John Deere- I'll probably have to order some missing parts for it...

This picture was taken a few minutes ago. Notice the coat of ice on the shingles. The weather forecasters just mentioned a term, "convective snow" which is building over the city. Basically a thunderstorm, but with heavy snow instead of rain.

The news just reported a plane has crashed south of Luther, OK, just west of Edmond (a suburb of OKC).

Rain right now in St. Louis, but ice line is just a bit west, moving this way. In a short time it will be freezing rain here. Snow to follow.

Please send the snow over this way! I am 30 years old, and when there is a forecast for snow here I actually have a hard time sleeping waiting to see it. I have been a weather nut since I was about 7, and love all bad weather. Being here on the east coast I have hurricanes to look forward to as well, but snow is not to often found here, especially accumulating snow.



That tundersnow is a pretty unique event. You can get 6" of snow in no time, go a half mile away and have none.. Just like a storm in the summer.

And here I was complaining about it being cold (dropped into the 40s last night).

I guess I better shut up and slink away with my tail between my legs since I am such a wimp. LOL



:blink:

Bill-E, we got snow in Wichita this morning for the first time. 1 degree wind chill at 19 degree temp. 20 mph winds. My Trac is cold and I am warm at work!:lol:

pffffffft 2 night ago we were at -42 degrees celsius and got a foot of snow.... amateurs!!!

 

[Keith McElroy]

WOOHOO! Snow is on the way. The snow blower is gassed up and my finger is itching to hit the 4WD button on the trac.



Plus, I work from home tomorrow anyway.

 

[Chad Merry]

Figures we may get snow and my ST is still in the shop... My front hub went bad and was causing some vibration issues. Hopefully I get it back this evening.

 

[Keith Lewis]

Just rain here so far...any of the freezing/frozen stuff won't show up until this evening.

 

[Nelson Atwell]

The snow is picking up now.

It was 70 when I got to work this morning. Now it's 37. Winter is here.

This is from about 10 minutes ago. I think I should make this my Christmas card.

Love the updates. I havea friend that lives in Bartlesville and he said they were getting some too...

 

[Lauren Y]

My boyfriend thought it funny that he is up here & his home state is getting the bad weather! That's living in New England for you! It was a nice 60 degrees here today -no worries-this weekend it will be about 45 & we have to put up the Christmas lights!

 

[Nelson Atwell]

Hi Lauren. Glad you are still here.



My only childhood memory of Rhode Island is of my mom carrying me through waist-deep snow.

 

[Roy Smith]

We are in S.C. , we never have any fun!!!!

 

[Keith Lewis]

Got 0 snow here...just a bit of ice from where the rain didn't evaporate which is quickly melting

 

[Ryan Schaecher]

We were supposed to get upto 1/2" of ice and upto 4" of snow....



We got....



NOTHING but rain.... The roads are dry and no ice can be found anywhere but in the drainage ditches and less than 1/8" at that.



Oh well. I'm here at work. I did loose power for 4-5 hours due to high wind.... my daughter's playhouse was missing half it's roof and the grill was on it's side.
