It was 22 this morning but 49 this afternoon. My worst inconvenience was my anchor rope was frozen in a puddle in the back of my truck, I’ll take it 

February looks pretty mild.

 

Hey @TnRiver46 you might want to go stock up on essentials to ride out this monster coming your direction.

Well, Knoxville's gonna be out of TP and beer for the next month.

At this point they’ve cried wolf so many times I don’t think many people will panic

I just checked the local weather and they are only predicting rain, 68 and sunny today 

 

we will be doing some fishing Super Bowl Sunday 

Another crazy day here. Rained pretty hard yesterday afternoon and throughout the night, then just cloudy and light flurries today until this afternoon when the wind machine turned up! Hard out of the west, and cooling off at the same time. I let the hounds out for a minute and the short haired one basically did a lap around the yard then straight back to the house. The husky was in his glory though. Didn’t come in for half hour or so, just sitting there with his snout into the wind, ears back and a very content look on his face ?.  

We are starting to move into our springtime weather pattern.  Warm weather during the first part of the week then a cold front moves through on Thursday or Friday.  Cold temps or worse just in time for the weekend. 

Not sure which of you fine folks left the door at the Mason Dixon line open,

but we certain appreciate it up this way.

Guess you might as well just go ahead and prop that bad boy wide open !

I forgot to report back, it rained 

We might break a record and get into the 70s today. 

We're having a one-day return to winter tomorrow

That was wild yesterday.  An all-day rain on Feb 14.  I don't know how much I got, but I heard that the Twin Cities metro area received about an inch of rain.  It really ate away at the snow pack.

 

Course, now its all frozen.  But it'll melt again this weekend. Haha

We hit at least 64 today!

Today is our one day of spring...

Next week looks like inbound moisture for a large contingent of the country.

Which will really help our situation - it's already much better for us, but more moisture is still welcome

I don't think the rain on Tuesday was included in this week's monitor.  I got over an inch of rain that day.  Regardless, a wetter pattern going into spring is certainly welcomed.

Moisture overload down this way, 2” overnight. Some snow flurries today that were predicted for last weekend, their crystal ball must need windexed

My buddy’s wife sent me that, I think the creek is diverted thru a little mini aqueduct that you can see in the pic . I haven’t driven by there in a while, can’t remember 

Massive midweek storm here Tues - Thurs.  This model may be a bit on the generous side, but its very likely that a large swatch of the Midwest from Sioux Falls into the Great Lakes region will see significant snowfall, and the Twin Cities appears to be the bullseye.

Wow - sucks to be you. I just checked our forecast and we’re supposed to be within a few degrees of 70 a couple of those days ? Looking at the 10 day and highs don’t dip below 40 here in Indiana during that period. I’m pretty certain this Feb. will go down as one of the warmest on record…which means we’ll probably pay for it in Mar and/or April ?

Ya - We're about to get hammered - @gimruis and I are practically neighbors.

 

Count @Deephaven in that too - he lives just across the lake from me.
