Was supposed to snow around midnight-1am. Bone dry until 230-3am. Then rain. At 4am ish the snow started. In 20 minutes it coated everything and kept dumping. Checked radar. It showed us in the blue snow up until 4am. At 4am radar showed us under green in the rain. I guess the radar got confused. By 425 I was rolling out. Had to stop 2-3 miles down the road to clear the slushy snow from under my wipers. Drive another 2-3 miles and it had turned to rain. It is now close to 7am and there is almost no slushy snow left. What a bizarre night.
I don't know the meteorologist but the Facebook page is quite good. They often show the early predictions and why they are or are not trustworthy. Then they will show updated results as the weather event becomes closer. Finally when they are occasionally wrong they also will explain how the models or their predictions messed up.
I don't find them to be alarmist at all TBH.
That was not the meteorologist I was referring to. He may be great. Never heard of him.
I just didn't want to publicly bash the one I had in mind. I do realize snow is the toughest weather to predict.

You guys want snow come visit me! Got about a foot on the ground from over the past couple days and another foot/blizzard winds tomorrow. I’m in Marion, IA which is basically Cedar Rapids. The politicans will be happy when the caucus is over so they can jet this place.
Well hells bells. Done packed up and moved south. Winters are so much better they said. Calling for 1/2” on Monday. Grocery stores will be bare by tomorrow evening.
Pshhhh get the generator out buddy!Well hells bells. Done packed up and moved south. Winters are so much better they said. Calling for 1/2” on Monday. Grocery stores will be bare by tomorrow evening.
Told T a little bit ago that we need to fill up the gas and diesel cans. That is on our agenda tomorrow.Pshhhh get the generator out buddy!
Yeah I have to restock in that department…. Filled up the mower and mixed up 2-stroke for the remainder of winter. Gotta refill the cans tomorrow.
I have a feeling the saws will be heavily used here in the next few weeks…..
Yeah, we had a lot of flooding and a few trees down. Duke contractor came out to survey the damage. Formulat a plan for the reclamation…..
I bought Case 521E wheel loader this year. ODOT trade in with 1150hrs. So far I've gotten to drive it to a parking lot. One subcontractor moved 2 of his wheel loaders. I did stage one backhoe and 2 bobcats. We still have 2 backhoes and 2 wheel loaders to stage. We were going to yesterday but this storm fizzled out. May as well leave them in the stables until needed. Been a disappointing start to winter.
Snow to the north of me, snow to the south, here I am, stuck in the middle with you. (Oh wait. That's not the right words to the song.
)Don't they sort of look lonely? Oh well. Part of the business I am in. Who needs Vegas when you can gamble on the weather?
High winds forecasted for today. With the saturated ground we have, should be an interesting day……
