Pond Boss Forums GENERAL QUESTIONS Pond Boss Winter Storm

Sitting here at the farm listening to sleet hit the building. Thunder, lightning, and limbs falling already. I'll be curious to see how things look after the sun comes up.

1/4" of anything frozen usually brings the Metroplex to a standstill.

Looks like a lot of people are in for a miserable weekend. Were setting at 15 degrees and expecting a low of 4 tonight, time to load up the fireplace.

Tomorrow's high is predicted to be 21 for the start of Muzzle loader. Brrr

I have 3 inches of frozen sleet in my rain gauge and the DFW metroplex is pretty well shut down. It won't get above freezing until Monday. I knew I should have bought a coat.

You win (or lose) - I'll take snow over ice any time!

Now who was asking that I send some precip down that way???

Next time be more specific!

Yeah, I know. Begging never works out well.

One degree here this morning in the south eastern part of the state, western Nebraska woke up to minus 20 degree temps this morning.

So far no precipitation here but they are talking about possibley 3-7" of snow starting late Saturday into Sunday.

-15.3 for a low last night. Up to -11 now. It is a dry cold.

Don't give me that dry cold stuff. That is cold cold from my lattitude perspective.

Dwight, I think it was the .3 that really made that minus 15 sound too cold for me. Ouch.

Current Weather

Dwight,

Is the Hardwick you live near the one southeast of Minneapolis? I was assuming you were much farther north.

Got about 5" of snow thus far, and still falling. I believe they have scaled back on the precip. totals, however. They were calling for 10-12" by the time it was over.

Lost front wheel drive on the mule while plowing snow this morning....joy.

We are in the far southwest corner of Minnesota. 40 minutes from Sioux Falls, SD.

Your and our latitudes are about the same.

Still over 200,000 people without electricity in Dallas alone.

Here at the farm, 60 miles east of Dallas, I've got a lot of work to do next week. Limbs down everywhere, and fencing down also. My trees sounded like shotgun blasts when the limbs broke this morning.

Another round coming late tomorrow.

But you get so much cooooooooolder!

Actually Dwight you're about 300 miles north of me in latitude - maybe more.

Your latitude is 43.7750° N. Mine is 41.4642° N.

BTW I meant to say southwest of Minneappolis not southeast.

Just had snow here. Thankful we did but skies are clear and it is going to get cold tonight.

We had some thunder and lightning here in southern NJ along with rain.I probably shouldn't complain considering what the rest of you guys are dealing with.

And to think my Sunday morning paper is waaaaay down at the end of that driveway

Which poses the question; is it there yet?

First snow of the year (and it's supposed to continue all day) and not near as bad as a lot of you have it, but still hard to find the motivation to leave my fireplace heated, cozy living room to get bundled up and start plowing.

Yet, my reward will be that Sunday paper

That don't look too inviting.

It's just cold here, no snow.

The ground is taking on a pretty good freeze, which hasn't happened is a number of years. Usually we get dumped on, then the freeze comes in. The snow insulates the ground.

Snowing here again. 88 hours below freezing.

Lovnlivin, if that thing hangin from yer tree is a Voodoo doll of Bruce wearin his pointy tinfoil hat. stick a ice cycle in his a** for me.

Nope, sorry Bob-O that's Marv, named after a great man that made him (RIP, Marv) and he's been hangin' around with me for about 12 years. Unfortunately lost his right hand a few years back and gettin' a little rusty but gets a warm greeting from me every day!

My pickup made it less than 75 ft from the house today. No weight in back, lots of ice and an unmotivated driver.
