Welcome back to Iowa from Florida BWR. Now we will show you how stupid that decision was!

On a sad note, it looks like most of Earl's website links don't work anymore....

Truth be told, I'm already depressing thinking about winter. The only saving grace with this COVID stuff was being able to be outside. COVID not going anywhere coupled with snow and freezing cold is going to really take it's toll on the ol' psyche.

I'm supplementing with Vitamin D already.

Winters in the midwest are soul crushing

Snow in October through December is fine, almost fun. Snow in January through April is depressing.

Would a derecho in Iowa in December be called a blizzard or just another crappy thing to happen in 2020?

Timing is a bit off for the Baylor game...need to work on that.

Not at all. Two and three stages don't need to come out for a few more months.

One thing I am not a meteorologist. but we will not get the 3-4 inches of snow that the map is predicting for central Iowa. It is too warm for anything other than snow showers during the night which is predicted for this weekend and next week.. Also the ground is too warm for anything of substance to stick to the ground. But it is 2020 so we will probably get 2 feet of snow with 100mph winds.

Its going to be way too warm for snow.

If we do, I hope the NW windchill is <30 since they are on the east sidelines. They made us deal with the heat, they can deal with the cold!!

I probably won't even mount the blower on the tractor till next month even. will use the mower one last time to pile the leaves up still.
