And temps keeps dropping, now 53. Your "snow" made me look and I do see snow has creeped into the forecast for Twin Cities. Friday looks decent but will start at 30 degrees.

Last night at 9 pm, warm and humid:

do you have to carry around a stick to beat off all the women who try and jump in with you in that thing

I saw my area is projected to get 2.5" of rain tonight, which going from memory is approximately 10x the amount we've had in the last 2 months.

Wet and 2.5". Your wife is one lucky woman!

Raining nicely in Lincoln....not enough to wash all the Nebraska nasty away but a decent rain thus far.

That would take a Hurricane Helene type of rain...and that might not be enough.

 

[FerShizzle]

this will be the first weather adversity pick up of the school year. it will be peak critical thinking by all parents involved for sure.

Remember you always have the option to pick up early. Even 10-15 minutes can save a lot of hassle in the pickup line.

LOL. At my age that never happens. Well, once last year at local golf course. Nice looking gal with nice clothes and expensive looking handbag started talking to me as I was getting into the car. Thought, this is strange since nobody talks to really old guys. And figured it out quickly as it was soon revealed she was 100% cray cray and maybe off her meds. Not axe murder crazy or full street schizophrenic but clearly a bit delusional. It was a bit unnerving.

Don't take that gal home just rent a room.

Was she standing on a curb when you first saw her????

Back to weather...pea-sized hailed 30 miles east of Ames. 5 minutes of "cow on a flat rock" rain too.

pea sized, pretty respectable....

I remember trick or treating in a snow storm in N. WI in the early 90s.

 

[Kinch]

Van Buren County, one inch. Looks like Grinnell had 2.5 inches. South of Knoxville 2.9 inches.

Don’t think you should talk that way about your wife, she may read CF!

Finished combining Tuesday after a 2 week breakdown. Guage has 2.2” of rain in it. I guess it is better to be lucky instead of good.

Congrats.…. Now get that equipment cleaned up and put away. It could snow any day now!

It may have been the wrong decision but I pulled the plug on tillage until after this rain, hoping to not stress things out as much.
