**** me.

Can I has?

2” sounds like our annual total.

12 degrees and -7 degree wind chill here east of Colorado Springs. Just another lovely spring day on the front range.

Rained last night, then sleeted then froze here in Garden City. Now blowing like hell. Sucks to have livestock in this weather. Just have showpigs now so they are in the barn under the heat lamps! Please stay on electricity! Most schools around us closed.

We do need it bad but wish we could share bub

So the state snowplow truck went in the ditch and laid over.

Stay safe kids.

What they doing that drunk on a Monday morning already?

Tornado this afternoon in Garden City Kansas

That was yesterday, unless a blizzard snow tornado hit again.

It just had to hit all of the good stores. ****.

The city is more protected, that tornado exposed them inside their bubble. I know we had sustained 80mph with gusts to 100 a few years ago.

I'm talking for hours. My entire farm looked like the great sand dunes. I have pics of my kids hanging out like they were on the beach. Had to use the drag to pull all the sand off the yard. It was insanity.

That map is old as ****, at least 10 years +

It doesn't have Menards, or any of the mall. All of that land is developed in the mid-part of that green tornado path.

Hard freeze of 20 tonight, then into the mid 70's on Friday.

I think I've dated this weather pattern before.

Yes, we're under an elevated (or is it extended?) risk for severe weather with golf ball sized hail and larger, and of course the tornadoes, here in northeast Oklahoma. Be careful.

Edit: I guess it goes all the way to Texas, could be a rough night.

LET’S DO THIS SHIT, MOTHER NATURE, YOU ****ING ****.

I’m hoping I didn’t pick the wrong time to make a trip out to western Kansas.

Tornadoes have to come from clouds. Western Kansas is the safest place you can be right now.

Yeah, but the forecast shows clouds forming before too long. Of course, it's a weather forecast, so there is a 50% chance it is completely wrong.

Hopefully it is only half wrong - wrong on tornados and hail but correct on the rain. You all have gotten a little dry since my last time out.

Agreed. The early corn I was going to roll in is too dry to plant. FML

I didnt know you could roll corn too. I thought that was just for beans.

I’m guessing you didn’t get much out of what popped up last night?

That's just farmer slang for plant the shit.

Just wind.

Judging by the radar in the OP, you’re getting another shot at it.

Got a sprinkle!

And now wind.

They’re calling for ZOMG bad storms. But weather underground is calling for 60% chance and .25.

Those things are not congruent.

I don’t know that I trust the radar map in the OP, it is showing my location in Iowa City when I’m actually in Des Moines. Take what is showing you with a grain of salt.

Bueh and Notorious waiting on forecasted rain:

My buddy at Garfield says its "dire" But he said kochia is up and growing.

Funny. Good friends of mine grew up in ol Parkers prairie.

Apprehension and stress is growing well around here.

The one positive is some amazing deprecating humor. The locals really know how to dish out the dark stuff. I would say it's so funny it brings tears but that's just reality setting in.

Looking at it on my phone at just this moment I am now in the middle of Cheney Reservoir west of Wichita. I've no idea if I'm supposed to be boating or drowning though.

​“From these immense prairies may arise one great advantage to the United States, viz: The restriction of our population to some certain limits, and thereby a continuation of the Union. Our citizens being so prone to rambling and extending themselves on the frontier will through necessity be constrained to limit their extent to the west to the borders of the Missouri and Mississippi, while they leave the prairies incapable of cultivation to the wandering and uncivilized aborigines of the country."

- Zebulon Pike

"This region which resembles one of the ancient steppes of Asia has not inaptly been termed 'The Great American Desert.' It spreads forth into undulating and treeless plains and desolate sandy wastes, wearisome to the eye from their extent and monotony. It is a land where no man permanently abides, for at certain seasons of the year there is no food for the hunter or his steed."

- Washington Irving

My early pres worked. My fields are damn clean. And we haven’t gotten ****all to germinate new ones. In ditches and stuff the kochia is slow and stunted.

Great Grandpa says,"Hold my beer" Sigh

One does have wonder why those earlier generations decided that area was better suited for crops than cattle.

draining the Ogalla aquifer

They hated their future kin.

That's the conclusion I came up with.

The upside is my family can travel anywhere else and it feels like a step up. Wichita is a vacation!

As usual having trouble finding pastb48 hour rainfall totals for the area

When Imperial, Nebraska is wetter than us, we got major problems.

Is there anyone that has a weather station in the area????

I can look around if I have your general location.


Maybe you could install one.

Not sure how much so far but well over an inch yesterday and its steady down pour level rain now 45 miles south of Arrowhead Could be dicey tonight they keep saying, hope we can skip the severe shit. 40 MPH wind yesterday was quite enough

All we got was 50 MPH wind and no rain.
