***Official 2024 Weather Thread***

I'm really having trouble deciding when to go dig out. If I go now I will certainly have to again. On the other hand, the wind is supposed to blow all day tomorrow too and if I wait till Sunday the wind chill is supposed to be -40.
I'll probably regret it but I'm waiting. Add more clothes and wear the snowmobile helmet. Drifts will be back if I do it today.

They will be, but they may be more manageable the next time. Take the punishment all at once or try to split it.

Same here. Gonna be really tough to sit in my house for the next 4 days. Expecting a jump in the birth rate 9 months from now.

Also, thank you Lord for YouTube TV and Cyclonefanatic.
 
How much snow on the roof before I need to worry about knocking it down? The wind has blown a nice drift on the front of our garage roof.

Similar thinking for me this morning. I eventually went out around 8am. Thankfully I did, I had a drift that was about 4.5ft tall towards the end of my driveway. Had no idea it was that tall/deep looking at it from inside the house. Unfortunately, I'm going have to back out there this afternoon, hopefully much quicker the next go-around.
 
we live on a hill with no wind break and open rolling hills of farm fields to the north and west. Our gravel road runs east/west and the road is lower than the field to the north. Waist high snow drifts all the way across the road and a large chunk of our drive way is waist high. Thank God I have an old skid loader.:).

Tree outside our house. Eeek.

Took me about 50 minutes to blow the snow we got last night and this morning, I would say we have another 5/6 inches at least since the first storm, so I guess it's now time to get ready for the wind to blow it all around and me forced to go out again and blow out the sidewalk and driveway again.

Worst part about the whole thing, was watching TV with the wife last night and my keg of beer ran out, I knew it was low, but I figured it would last the weekend. Called over and ordered a new one, but no way I am driving 20 miles on these roads, so I had to get out and make a beer run to the store. Side streets down here are horrible, and many have not been plowed yet.

What kind of beer...might be worth the risk. Running out of beer is not good.
 
LOL, they aren't going to up their travel so they can spend two days/nights out of their own element.

As long as their plane can land, the game will be played. The airport does a great job of keeping runways clear. The airlines are the ones who typically cancel flights out of caution, but with their flight being a charter, as long as the airport does not close, they will likely make the flight.
I've come to grips to the reality that there won't be a mbb game tomorrow. I guess I was thinking teams would travel more than 24 hours ahead of gametime, especially during a break in classes. Now that I read more of this thread, obviously not the way it's done. Oh well, I'll just watch the replay of Tuesday night as a substitute!

I’d put the chances on their being a game tomorrow at 99%.
