Monday afternoon, my most trusted weather source had my area getting 18-20 inches. Yesterday morning, it changed to 12-16. By last night, it was down to 8-12. As of this afternoon, it's now 6-10. 18-20 just doesn't happen here, ever. For some reason, it always gets warm before a storm arrives. We couldn't get out of the teens for the past week and out of nowhere we hit 50 degrees yesterday. I live by North Manchester where they were predicting 15 to 20 inches, we probably have about 7 or 8 though. They are never right about their predictions lol. We haven't had hardly any this year until now. Edited February 2, 2022 by Hoosier51 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's from Texas but don't see why it wouldn't be applicable anywhere.

There is a bit of discussion on meteorologists and their predictive abilities. The guy pointing at the green screen is more of an actor probably. But a good amount of chemistry and physics is used to understand our weather systems, although predicting anything in the future is a coin flip. People who crap on meteorologists for getting it wrong quit science after 8th grade. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that because I know from personal experience how dumb I am and then I look around and can tell it's way worse around me. 😂 We are screwed 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted February 3, 2022 Report Share Posted February 3, 2022 Toughest decision today is when do I do my first round of shoveling. 2 or 3 rounds or 1 big one later tonight? Hope everyone is safe here in the Midwest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did a little plowing and shoveling last night just to keep busy, but I think I'm going to wait on round two until tonight or in the morning since nobody can really go anywhere right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in the country so wide open fields around me...30 mph winds has caused lots of drifting on our property. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in the country so wide open fields around me...30 mph winds has caused lots of drifting on our property. Also my experience is if clear it multiple times it can cause the drive to freeze over with ice from any melt or thin layer left behind...if the snow is left the ground layer is pretty insolated and stays warmer. Don't get me wrong...I wouldn't want to try to dig out all at once of a foot and half of snow so making it manageable is a good idea but if I don't have any place to go...I'll just wait and hit it up really good once it's finished off. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting ready to do again. Any form of water whether rain or snow...he just stays inside. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will turn 9 next month and he has absolutely no desire to walk through the snow anymore. We have a covered front porch and he will just stand there and stare at the snow and turn around and walk back in if it isn't an emergency. He has always hated rain. He actually did go out with us for about 5-10 minutes yesterday when the kids were playing in the snow and did a little bit of playing in it, but then wanted back inside ha. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always liked the seasons and weather changes....what I've never liked is the dreary weeks on end without seeing the sun up north....almost depressing and I'm appreciative of the sun for not having to deal with that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was late night and I have no clue what he was up to? It was a actually a decent song and then all of almost every other word was an F bomb!! It went on for a minute or more until you heard the screech of the needle sliding not so gracefully across the vinyl!

He is theatrical, that is for sure. I remember him during the 2012 tornadoes. He was caught somewhere between tears and pure hysteria. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
