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 Tom I just finished reading a great book about that storm. Beav lent it to me because he doesnt know how to read . Sounds like a good time to bunker in and make some moundaster2!! Pat

40 below here this morning. Supposed to be 31 above by Saturday. Not looking forward to that.
Stay out of the Bog Master You would rather have 40 below than 31 above? You must still have young bones in your body.

Lee. was that protein tub full? We had it easy today. 21 degrees when I got up, that was the high for the day. It stayed about 18-21 degrees until about 02:00 PM and it started down. About 03:00 it started snowing hard with a 25-35 MPH wind. It is down to 7 above now and they show three below for the low. I usually show 6-8 degrees colder than what the weather does during the winter. We have our share of wind, but it wasn't bad today. Be Safe.

Just parked my trucks away from any potential falling trees.
Brought in a a couple extra armloads of wood.
Got plenty of food/beer for a few days.
I have a strange feeling things are gonna be bad/worse then most think for you all in the area being outlined.
Ice/wind is a horrible combo!
Good luck,be safe.

swampgas chili and schmidt beer makes for a deadly combo

Lots of thunder and lightning here for the past hour or two and some heavy rain to accompany it. We have had dense fog here for the past 24 hours which was unusual too. I don't think we are to get the strong winds that the more southerly areas are supposed to get, though. Good luck and be safe to those who will be and are affected.
I'm just happy to be here! Today I'm as young as I'll ever be and and older than I've ever been before!

Wind chill 3 above here winds blowing pretty good it was worse before you could hear the racket in the house but the weekend snow is crusted so it’s not going anywhere.
Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

Had heavy rain for about an hour. Rain stopped a while ago and the wind has started to ramp up. Temp is still around 50 but that is headed down hill. The wind is supposed to turn into a real problem over night. Filling containers with water now,I expect we will lose our power sometime over night.0
