A lot of central Iowans were introduced to new terms that year. First derecho, then a snow squall...

What is this water stuff coming from the sky this morning? Should I be concerned that I’ve angered the gods? Or have I done right by them? I think I’ll need to sacrifice a pig on my BBQ either way to be sure.

 

[KidSilverhair]

What the heck is this green and orange and yellow stuff on the radar? What does it mean? I’m scared! Somebody hold me …

Sidewalk was wet in Ames this morning but less than half a tenth in the gauge.

 

[dafarmer]

.25” of rain, now to get the combine out of the shop. 2 weeks broke down.

Itty bitty drops for about 30 seconds when I let the dog out in the middle of the night in the southern Iowa desert. No visible signs that such a miracle occurred this morning though so maybe it was a dream.

Enough to knock the dust down in spots, this ain’t gonna do ****.

Fine by me, I got 2 days of harvest left

I was told there would be no math.

If they were trying to make it simpler they failed

No kidding. Two categories with temps that overlap and watch vs. advisory sounds pretty much the same. Baby steps, I guess.

 

[NorthCyd]

So basically they are just using the wind chill temperature to issue warnings so they don't need to differentiate if it's a warning based on wind chill temp or normal temp.

Be a lot simpler if they narrowed their verbage to this:
It’s going to be cold.
or
It’s going to be stupid cold.

Or wicked cold if you're in Boston.

 

[MJ29]

People barely understand watch vs. warning, and now we have cold weather warning and cold weather advisory.

Just tell me how many layers I need to keep my nuts from freezing.

Alright, now it can rain. Harvest is done and equipment is in the shed. And perfect timing too
