27 degrees out here and it feels like tshirt weather. LMAO

stfu

Got down to -19 here in SUX. Already up to -11, so things are looking up! Could break freezing Monday.

I would rather have the cold than snow.


10 today, 36 on wednesday

You must not have any snow on the ground?

That's what I thought we got over a foot of this shit piled everywhere

very little. We have been spared so far this season.

It's supposed to be in the high 30's/low 40's next week in KC with rain forecasted basically all week. Until the snow melts, the drains might be overflowing which will be fun on the roads. Especially if it all re-freezes overnight.

Windy changed the map set up in the OP. In some ways it is easier.
But you cannot add the isobars to the radar map. it looks like the others have it automatically.

I don't know about anyone else, but I think I've had about enough dense fog with temps right on the cusp of turning it all into freezing fog to last me for a long, long time.

Supposedly it's going to get up to around 60 in KC next week. I may break out the shorts if that happens, lol.

It's been crazy up here as well. Although we've had freezing fog almost every night since Sunday. Sunshine today. A nice change.

Yeah, we even had some of that out here in the desert.

You joke about the shorts and shit. After the snow we had like 10 days or something where it didn't get above like 4 and there was consistent wind. It was ****ING COLD.

Anyway, I went to an equipment auction that had some stuff I wanted to bid on. Anyway, it was like a high of 35 with not much wind, everything covered in snow. I brought all my shit. Boots, coveralls, Heavy parka, facemask, double gloves all of it. Barely above freezing with snow on the ground? That's cold, man. Nah, hoodie and a beanie was enough. I left the rest of the shit in my pickup. I was shocked.

Ditto. There is a line in Westen Minn of sun and clouds, it is just not moving.


We had the Winter Open at the golf course today. Six holes, tennis balls, 6 foot circles as holes.
Other years there has been snow on the ground and fairways were wide with "rails" This year, WET! Open grass, a few ponds, very little snow and 40 degrees. Cloudy.

The tennis balls collected water and squished when you hit them. Collected a lot of water when they rolled.

We had 50-75 people and expected more this afternoon.


Could be almost 50 Thursday.

I read that some dude was saying that in mid Feb another vortex was coming. He stated that when the wind over artic slows down, it dips down.

Dunno.

I heard the spit jet stream will join together later this month. So that would bring more cold south. Hey, for me the second week of Feb is usually the coldest week of the year.

Just hoping we still go shy on the snow. I can handle the cold. People are even bigger idiots in the snow.

I'll take the snow. Just MOTHER**** the 70 MPH wind that came with the last one.

Sunny and 37 today. We won't know whether to shit or go blind.

I know we are in the glow of the SB

But I am also in the glow of the sun. Yes, the sun. That magical yellow orb in the sky.
It is 54 here today. Amazing. Daily record.

The rodent hath spoken. Early spring!

WTF, KC...

https://i.imgur.com/wJmEZIX.png

It's still 60 degrees here at almost 10:00 p.m. Weird. I actually had to open the windows today and they're still open. Supposed to get up around 70 tomorrow, February 27.

Of course, the low tomorrow night is supposed to be 27.

:spock:

Swatted 4 mosquitos this evening while out disc golfing. In February, in shorts and tshirt. Currently fighting a bunch of oak mite bites on my head and neck from being outside most of last weekend. It hasn't been cold enough over the last 4-5 years or so to kill them off over the winter. Same with ticks.

This isn't your grandparents' kind of February...

It is going to be a crazy week.

65 yesterday, snow tonight, 70 next week.

77 in SUX yesterday, record high temp for February. Possible blizzard conditions this afternoon, back up to 70 on Saturday

Its going to be a pain day tonight and tomorrow with the change in pressure. You migraine sufferers be ready also.

very good observation.

Lots of water. Rub your forehead, temples and neck. Shut off lights. Tylenol or excedrin migraine.

and stay off the roads with those who are idiots. Already started this morning for me.

My last period class is going to stink. although the front has already passed me. But the temp change will be crazy.
in the neighborhood of a 70 degree feels like change. 65 yesterday, -10 windchill tomorrow morning.

This shit isn't normal but enjoyable as hell.
In Iowa we are seeing highs of 70. Tulips are up way to early, I had to go get wood chips and bury them. Been out on the motorcycle, been out fishing, been disc golfing. Its just not right though. Also we are in a severe drought. Absolutely no frost in the ground and its already been to warm and the wind is drying it out even more.

change the windy map to temperature!!!!! Viewer option

Yay, 50-60 degree drop and 50mph winds coming in.

First day of track practice was yesterday.

My poor kids. LMAO

Oh ****. ROFL

I'm expecting a migraine at some point tonight or tomorrow. This kind of drastic temp/pressure change is almost always a migraine trigger. Sucks.

always watch the barometer

Wild fires around the Texas panhandle with 40-70 MPH winds. The town of Canadian is surrounded and people are ordered to shelter in place.

40 homes burnt in Fritch.

This is Not Good!

That's kind of where that super-rich billionaire has that ranch, isn't it?

Canadian? I remember flying over the private runway a lot tooling back an forth from Clarendon & Amarillo to SW Kansas.

T Boone Pickens, yeah, somewhere in there. He bought up all the water rights in the area. Hope he turned the sprinklers on

https://twitter.com/bill_line/status...7Ctwgr%5Etweet

My temp graph last 7 days.


currently 19.8F with a wind chill of 4.8
and a small glaze.

With a high of 60 and a wind chill of 4.8-a 55 degree drop of how it feels on your skin in 36 hours.

Tornado warnings in Chicago

Just saw that. I hope Dorothy (Fraz) doesn’t get carried off. Though, OZ might seem like a nice respite from the Chicago shithole.


Seriously though, tornado warnings in Chicago? In February? Go home Mother Nature, you’re drunk.

Tahoe/Donner Pass expecting up to 10' of snow between Thursday-Sunday this week.

Oh, that's T Boone country. Go figure.

Yeah, we went from 74 to "feels like" 8.

Mother Nature is a hell of a tease.

I have a trip to Tahoe scheduled for this weekend to chase the storm, but it's looking like it'll probably be too much, sadly. Probably going to have to cancel. :banghead:

Fire and ridiculous wind is a ****ing horror show.

In 2012 there was a big fire by Johnson, KS and that crazy bitch was moving 43 MPH. Obviously they had to put it out with tractors and disks and the fastest a tractor will go is 26.

**** that.

It was 72 earlier today, now it's 42. Supposed to be down around 20 by 8:00.

And then in a few days, back up in the 70s.

As far as I can remember, we've gone the entire month of February with almost no measurable snow fall; got a bit of rain here and there, but it really hasn't been cold enough for anything more than that, except some light flurries that barely stuck the grass and melted immediately. Strange, but I'll take it over a typical one.

Friends of ours traveling back from their trip to PHX stopped in shamrock TX for the night. Said they drove thru 60 mph winds all day. Never been thru anything like it. Smoke and dust, difficult driving conditions.

Went to a steakhouse for dinner and got kicked out as they were
evacuating the town. Ended up going to elk city Oklahoma for the night.

Wildfires in Texas, tornadoes in Chicago, blizzard in Iowa. Mother nature can be a crazy bitch, and it's not even March.

It stormed like hell in the Chicago area, and there were several reports of tornados in the suburbs and the rural area west of the city, but it looks like the damage was relatively minor. High winds and a little hail as well. It was pretty nasty when it went through by us around 7:00. Of course the weather shamans on WGN were trumpeting it like it was the apocalypse, and the wife was glued to that shit until I told her to turn it off. :shake:

Glad no damage Fraz

Thanks. It was no big deal where I was. Glad I wasn't out driving in it, though.

Who wants to start the Texas fire thread? It's massive.

Most of the people I know live in Gruver, Perryton, etc, just north of it.

Hog?

Yeah, the whole East side of the panhandle up in flames going into Oklahoma now. The cold front seemed to hold the smoke down at ground lever creating an unsurvivable environment. Lots of towns evacuated.

Had to drive an hour to Amarillo yesterday and the trucks were really leaning. Very stressful drive

Heard they even shut down the Pantex nuke disassembly plant. Wow.

Yes, They evacuated it and told only essential personnel to stay. I heard it is storing more plutonium than what it was designed for right now

Jesus ****.

Stay safe down there man, I'm telling you, fire is ****ing scary as shit. Dude on the FD here told me there was a 60K acre fire up in Nebraska around Goethenburg too. After the snow I figured we were good to go. Guess ****ing not.

quite the drop today

You guys get thunderstorms while Bueh and I look at this from our picture window:

https://media2.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2...IXSw/giphy.gif

The entire midwest could get rain for 4 days and no one would complain

Heh. I went to colorado springs for a couple days and I'm staring at this storm that's supposed to dump 15 inches of snow tomorrow.

Check the forecast for home (where I make money from moisture). ****ing crickets.

OH WAIT

They changed it to 49% of .08"

And a ****ton of wind.

I’ll be in Salida and Monarch the next 4 days.

Just got back from south of Wichita today.

Both places are far wetter than we will ever be. ****!

Slight chance of damaging hail this afternoon.

Apparently, the shit out in west central Kansas is going to turn to snow tonight into tomorrow?

This is the most dysfunctional early spring I can remember in recent years.

Supposedly.


I think there was a tornado on the ground over by Garden City.

Nothing but a lot of wind here in NC Kansas thus far, but it is Kansas, and dysfunctional weather should be part of the motto for the state. I hope the expected two nights of freezing temperatures don’t nip things too badly. We’ve had mostly warm weather for the past six weeks, and a freeze like this is not easy on the greenery.

Tornado did some damage. Several buildings damaged and I saw a picture of a piece of lumber through a windshield of a dealership pickup.

Not great Bob.

I-70 is shut down in Colorado

https://www.cotrip.org/map.htm/@-104...ving,chainLaws

5-6 inches of wet snow and plugged up my snowblower. It is supposed to rain, so that will melt is some. South facing driveway wont hurt at all, even with clouds.

2 hour late start.

Have two inches of rain so far and still coming down. Needed this bad.

Got a little bit of snow with 60 MPH wind. :Lin:
