4+ inches of rain in a day is character building, you'll be okay

Single digits and below coming to Nebraska. Think I saw -23 predicted for Valentine area. Global change in Nebraska for sure. Or is it climate warming....

Put on some rain clothes. Fish night crawlers right in the front of the bank everyplace you see a small eddy. No weight. Just let it swirl into the eddy. Walk real soft. Use a long pole to stay back a bit. No bite after 4-5 minutes walk down to the next little eddy.

We got my mother in law a life raft after our last glacier outburst flood here last August.
Please don’t think I am being insensitive with my request to jbyrd to mind his safety….

Blue cold and snow coming here all next week.
Thick ice again.
Lots of nuisance beaver jobs to do, but I ain’t doing it through the ice.

We had freezing rain last night and earlier today. It was hard to even walk safely here. Conditions were much worse for driving.

Surprisingly, all 3 customers scheduled to come out today made it. They were all 30 minutes late or later. Among those, I had a pickup for Santeria and one for Voodoo. The customers for Santos, Santeria, Voodoo and Vudun are some of my favorites because they are friendly and reliable. My second through 5th best repeat customers all practice some Voodoo off shoot.

We've been getting heavy rain for the last few hours. .?

Ours has been rain, then snow, then sleet, and then back to rain.

We haven't gotten anything like those pics you posted. Now if we get a massive temp rise, the snow will melt off quickly and do that.

We're fixing to have a wild ride, snow and 30 mph wind depending on who you listen to up to 6 inches of snow and temperatures in the mid teens for highs Tuesday and Wednesday with lows below zero..

I set two 330's at the bottom of a couple crossovers partially submerged. I'm betting when I check this afternoon that want be the case. Lol.

Weird, I might have been in Vegas the last time it rained then. Did some training there in May I think? Rained on one of the nights I was there.

Saw Pikeville was underwater, called inlaws up there and they are fine, live up a holler on a hill side.
