Big Storm Comin'
« on: January 31, 2011, 07:46:32 am »
Well...We got anudder storm headin' in ...2 storms actually.

We could get anywhere from 10 to 24" in the next 3 days.

Yeeehhaaaa windy too!! I love it when we have blizzard conditions  8) 8) 8) >:( >:( >:(

Ok...I'm tired of it now. You just get one cleaned up and then it gets to -10° for a few days

And then it warms up and snows some more.  ;D ;D ;D ;D

There's gotta be some place I can go where it's not like this!


Beenthere should get good use out of his wing the next couple of days  ;D ;D

Yeah, over here, the amount of snowfall predicted seems to decrease with each day closer to the expected arrival of the storm...

tyb525,I hope "over here" will be the same.  ;D  There is something coming in on Wed. Looks like we might got some snow this time.  :( Most we got was 8 inches in one storm,most was below 6.

We’re expected to get hit with it too.  They say 12-18” on Tuesday and Wednesday with high winds and lows as low as -11.  Mary done went to Wal-Mart yesterday and stocked up with “stuff”.  I got another box of firewood cut but the yard was too soft yesterday to bring it to the porch with the Terex. (We’re rednecks you know.) We probably have a cord on the porch now but it’s better to have too much than not enough. 

Mary blasted off for West Plains already this morning trying to beat the freezing rain and ice coming in.  I’ll get the bucket on the Terex with the glass cab and heater so I can be ready to do battle again.

Girls are off to school.  I'll bet they'll be home after they eat lunch.  They've already missed 4-5 days to snow.

Local weather report on the radio this morning said we could get “historic amounts of snow”.  :'(

Don't get to cocky Corley, she might shift  ;)   It started out that we were not supposed to get much, now we are in the 8 to 12 inch band.  I hope this is one of those times when the weathermen are making much adieu about nothing.

I do too. We are in the 13"-20" band in a 48 hour time frame.

Time to cut a load of firewood today and get the tractor ready for a day of plowing.  >:(

Burlkraft you are suppose to keep this junk on your side of the lake.  :D

Oh no not another big snow storm!!!! sail_smiley sail_smiley candle_smiley yikes_smiley

I guess I better get ready to hunker down at the tiki bar for a hard blow... oh and warn the tourists about the danger of too much sun 8)

Weather guesser says it's going to get in the low 70's. but maybe it will rain Wednesday or Thursday  to break up the monotony.

We all have our crosses to bear.

Freezing rain just came out of nowhere and is falling now.  I talked to Mary and she’s about to cross I44 at Rolla, MO. about half way point to West Plains. She ran through some light rain and junk. 

She said near home she spotted a convoy of 15 electric utility trucks heading north.   I would think they’d just get snow north of us.  I’d thing the bigger problem would be down in southern Missouri and Arkansas with ice.  Maybe they’re getting out while the getting out’s good.

The predicted snow line is supposed to be 10 miles north of us and the predictors are never wrong. ::)

Hey, it could be worse. Snow is a pain, but it eventually goes away and most everythings back to normal. Me and TR could send you some of them big black clouds that go round and round real fast and demolish everything in their path. Looks like we might be getting a few.

Yep,  I was right. The girls got on the school bus at 7:00.  At 9:00 they anounced that they would be letting out school at 12:15.   :-\
