If 20 inches of snow wasn't enough,we are in for heavy thunderstorms,straight line winds from 60 to 80 MPH,and a cnaNCE OF THE FIRST EVER,Minnesota tornadoe in December. It is a balmy 55 degrees right now,but the shoe is set to drop--starting in a few hours. I am making ice and have moved the vehicles away fro any trees--as much as I could. They are expecting a lot of downed trees and loss of power. I am trying to prepare for whatever comes. High temp tomorrow,mid 20s. Kind of reminds me of the big Armistice day storm that killed so many duck hunters. Tom

Latest I read--winds could hit 100MPH south of us. Sounds like--no sleep tonight. They also said the storm is moving so fast,if a warning is sounded-head immediately to the basement. The normal 12 minutes leeway time, does not exist with this storm. Our sun is now gone as the clouds move in. Still in the 50s and --dead calm. Tom

70 down here in Central Iowa. Clouds really moving in and a little bit of moisture starting to blow around. Sure hope this has been over hyped.
Just livin' the dream...and paying full price for it!

little breezy here today. weather people said downed powerlines were likely so i drained the old gas out of my generator and changed the oil. put in fresh gas and let it run about ten minutes. so far lights are still on

Charging cell phones gathering flashlights and filling up buckets of water when I get home from work. If everyone is right this could be a rough night.
Moosetrot and if they are wrong you can pour the water out tomorrow no harm

It's all because of global warming , just ask the liberals . It's a wonder we're not all under water for the last 5 years . The earth is going to do it's thing like it has for billions of years . No taxes or anything else is going to change it . LMAO @ The WWLF and it's add for donations for polar bears . What are they going to do with the money ? Make an ice making machine to refreeze the north pole ? Fools are born every day .
