Winter Weather 1/22

[jsb]

A couple of inches are probably likely but I don't know that I would get too crazy with the one this weekend. Next weeks will probably be a lot like yesterday/last night. Quad Cities also mentioned that it could be colder than the next couple of days and possibly break records.

So what day is the one next week?

Man we got dumped on in Monticello. 6+ inches with ice underneath.

A popular blogger said this of that snow storm this weekend: "The EURO is just off the charts with snowfall from this system. It's so extreme I can't even put it up to avoid a social media melt down."

I shoveled $hit on the farm and scooped feed, grain and snow. Never had a snow shovel. Just used the tractor and loader.

Eh, snow is just white $hit that doesn't smell...you still have to shovel it...not scoop.

That post seems pretty reasonable and insightful. Outliers are a fact of life, keeping them in proper context is what's important.

Streets are pretty much clear now in Des Moines

Here is a tip. Just put the target over SE Iowa. Freaking brutal. So much for 37 and rain. Just going to be another 5-8" snow. Have already damn near doubled our Yearly totals.

Ended up with another 6.5" near as I could measure. Parts of the hills in the yard are easily 2-3' deep. We've gotten nearly an average year's worth of snow in the last 12 days. About 22". I can now sled off the deck which is 4-5' above the ground level.

Let's further derail this thread....do you say "snowblower" or "snowthrower" or "plow" (or something else) for your machine that easily clears a lot of snow off of your driveway?

Interestingly enough, the Canadian model (the CMC), agrees to a point with the Euro model. It gives 1.5" of liquid equivalent to Eastern Iowa and Western Illinois...given the temps, this would equate to about 20" of snow. Will be interesting to see how this plays out over the next several days...

They can have it.

These are actually separate things:

I use a snowblower. Or a snow blower.

It is a scoop shovel because it has sides on it to contain the material. Other types of shovels do not.

Ugh, I listened to this guy boast this morning about how he predicted the actual path that last night's storm followed which was why his snow fall estimates were the most accurate. That was enough to make me change the channel.

Do you mean ATV?
