3/4 weather thread

as long as it doesn't melt until the ground is thawed!

Not sure but it didn't really seem like the ground froze much to begin with.

I'm in WI, sorry. Definitely frozen up here, the run-off was so bad the couple rain-following-snow fun times that we had flash flood warnings.

More than an inch.

Much more.

That is what she said when it arrived.

As much as I hate snow, we need a lot of moisture to replenish the water tables. The past couple of years have been brutal.

KCCI played it brilliantly the other day with a "cover our a**es" type article on its website. The article's headline was something like, 'Any change in the track of storm could alter snow totals.' Nice. Way to get out ahead of things in case the 1-2" prediction turned into a 10" drubbing, which it did (and yes, that's what she said).

That's kind of the way weather works.

Far from a soils expert, but it appears a lot of area south of I-80 is right on the edge, based on average 4-inch temps.

Should I buy my beer now or later???

 

[bellzisu]

So we are not going to see another St. Louis lazy low or whatever Ed called it yesterday?? Which might be the first time I heard that.

Buy it now so you can enjoy it while trying to determine if you need to buy more. You cannot go wrong with this methodology.

Probably just didn't want to say "Texas or panhandle hooker..."

No if you want a name the next one will be more like the clipper variety.

When I lived in the Panhandle, I heard the term "Panhandle Hooker" used by the meteorologists frequently. Definitely caught me by surprise the first few times I heard it!

Ok, its almost March.............time to warm up and open up the golf courses. Seriously i think the courses around here have been open by March 15-20th the past 5 years. Don't want an April start.

Agreed! I'm pretty sure this is THE year that my golf game finally takes the step to that next level!

As far as us needing moisture goes, I'd be perfectly fine with overnight thunderstorms for 3-4 nights a week.

 

[Al_4_State]

Snow in NE Iowa please.

Man, hope this crap stops for my wedding on March 16th!

If not, you could offer hot chocolate to those attending. Maybe get married in an igloo? Have a snowman officiate? Ride off on a snowmobile? Just some ideas.

 

[isumellie]

Yeah I love these threads also but that is because I do not have to deal with any of the snow!

hope it doesn't overlap the Big12 championship game where ISU takes their revenge on the Jayhawks.

Can we stop doing weather threads like a week out? Maybe start them closer to the actual day....

Just my two cents. I'm sure I'll get ripped by all the weather gurus here. But c'est la vie.

 

[JP4CY]

Good call on that one. People might not go out for a St. Paddys party on the 17th, so they'll be amped up for the 16th.
You having an open bar? I didn't get my invite.
