In the eye of the storm

Started snowing lightly at 1 pm.At 4 we already have 3 inches of heart attack snow.The worst is yet to come.
With the way the snow is sticking to all the trees,a lot of them will end up going down.

Right now it is sliding South of us by about 50 miles.

It’s about 80 here.

Ditto.

But they're supposed to get snow out in western Oklahoma.

Got about 6-7 inches here so far. They're saying another 5-8 tonight and 11-17 tomorrow. Going to be lots of water around again next week.

At least 10 inches on the ground in eastern South Dakota and that is just the start the weather folks say. Come midnight Friday we may need a periscope to see daylight.

Hope it peters out before it hits Michigan. I'm ready to dock the boat for the summer.

Ice storm forcast here thru Friday morning,,along with some MORE major flooding

So far just high winds here. Gusts of 60mph at my house. This is the beginning of 2 storm systems rolling through.

Prayers sent for those of you in the eye of the storm.

Ice/rain most of the day switching to snow now I'd rather have a foot of snow then a inch of ice on everything it's bad for everything powerlines, critters and trees.

About 6 inches at 6 pm. Snow has slowed down for the time being.

Charlie

you guys got a tall tree or something out there seems like that storm is just sitting there

Have you lost power yet? Weather Channel showed stats on power outages and lot's are doing without today.

In my part of South Dakota we got a break this afternoon as the storm pushed further north than predicted and formed a hole over us so our snowfall rate is considerably reduced. Think we are at about 18 inches but mostly a guess. The most recent forecast for us is up to another foot in the next day. Waiting to hear from Jediknight who MAY have gotten considerably more snow than here.

Nothing here yet, but maybe tonight.
