This is spose to last us till 5 PM , wouldn't shock me if they extended this forecast ...... Just hope it doesn't cause many traffic related issues.... And the worst over before night fall... We got 8 inches of rain here overnight. Half hour south they got 10"+ I had to come in to work late today because of water on the roads. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did that amount help with the overly dry conditions y'all experienced back in the summer and fall ? Or did it come down so quick it was more run off then was soaked in ? My weather system can't be right.. I'm showing 1.63 inches and i know that's not right... What I'm thinking is this thing has a auto reset .... When temps falls below 26.5 .. If that's right then the amount i show is correct or dern sure close... It does have an temp pre alarm that triggers 30 minutes prior to the set alarm most likely to give you time to let your vehicle warm up..... So that might also refresh the rain amount in the records...... I don't care for that auto mess, and never have needed an alarm to wakeup.... When i wanted / needed to. Gauging by the amount of water in ped from my storm shelter .... I'd say 1 or a tad more is right....... For the longest time i had been thinking of getting a dehumidifier ...... So..... I finally located one that will hand,e this size house.... I've had it a couple months so far so good inside stays about 40-50% and that's perfect! So all on all things are good except this crazy weather..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Everything is still shut down, no travel advised. They pulled the plows because it was drifting in as fast as they was opening the roads. I got about 80% of my place opened up but now I have to go chase down fuel tomorrow so one way or another, I'm going to town. The kids got an extended Christmas vacation. They might possibly go back Thurs or Fri. The 7 day shows no precip and 25-30 degrees so back to normal. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My WX radio just went off with a Tornado Warning. As usual it's north of us. We are getting heavy rains and some wind but fine so far. The truck needed washed so I'm cool. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fishfiles 20,145 Posted January 9, 2023 Yesterday I was up before the sun and seen a glistening reflection on the ground in one of the cameras , was like the moon on water , I was thinking it already rained during the night , when I looked at other cams they were dry , I went outside and water was coming out the well house under the door , I opened the door and water was blowing right out the top the pump , fitting was cracked , how I did not get shocked I don't know , flipped the switches off and bleed the system down , lucky for me I had everything I needed right there , spare fittings , tools , glue , etc , got it fixed and running and took longer drying everything off than fixing it , about 30 minutes later after I was picked up , it started raining and rained pretty much all day till the late evening ---- I was pretty lucky , making a list right now to replace fittings and get some fresh glue and cleaner 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

_Wilson_™ 6,567 Posted January 12, 2023 BOOM!! Hail.....had a near miss just a few ago... Still have data coming in from MTEARS .... Y'all stay safe out, and FF ...this mess you wouldn't miss at all.... Most would not like to see this.... But as of right now no hail damage .... If it had been back during crop season... The damage would have been very costly! .... You can clearly see the formation (hook echo) 2nd,and 3rd image (small white area zoomed in) temps started at about 65 now 50 and plummeting ..... Pressure dropped all the way to 28.92 @ 1:00 PM CDT now @ 4:25 PM CDT 29.03..... That's a big change in such a short time... Dead give away... Things were going south very quickly.. @Wormy how's things over yonder ?? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
