#32 Postby sertorius » Sun Feb 01, 2004 3:29 pm
Ok: I cheated!! I checked the NWS-we are still in the game for 5 inches of snow tonight and tomorrow-a far cry from yesterday and even this morning, but I'll take 5 inches anytime-esp. considering the past 4 winters!! Looks to be a good plum of moisture rising from the south-our temp is still 33 deg., but Emporia to my SOUTH is 32 with freezing rain-Topeka is at 31 and my parents in KC are at 29!! Our temp did the same thing last weekend!! I'll see what happens later today-maybe this next batch of moisture will cool it down to below freezing and when the low moves out of Texas it will intensify enough to give me some good back side snows-even if it was below freezing, we wouldn't be having that much-our area has been dry slotted a little bit-not complaining, but this is nothing new-that's why we're 20 inches below for the past 3 years!! Well, if I get 5 inches with some 30 mph wind gusts, I'll be a happy camper-the rain today just really bummed me out-silly I know-to be bummed over the weather is pretty silly, but man I thought I was going to have a big dump this time!! have a great day!!

and it is comming down at a pretty good clip-temps. holding at 29-looks like maybe the storm is trying to track a little bit south 
we have a big break after this band moves through which may allow our temps. to rise-hopefully not above 32-I'd be real disappointed if we wound up having rain today!! I'm getting ready to take my son out sleding behind my bike!! There is a pretty good coat of ice on the roads right now!! If any weather experts can tell me that I will stay in all snow or just a little sllet and snow, even if it's not the case, I'll pay you!! Just let me think it will not rain-I'll live a lie today LOL!! Have a great day!!
It seems to me the wind has shifted a bit to the North-maybe it won't warm so much here-I think the freezing rain/snow line is developing right between Lawrence and Topeka-hopefully it will stay south of me-but this break in the action may allow it to warm?? I don't know-I don't know much-I'm just all freaked out-I want some heavy winter weather!! My son and I just got back in from a bike/sled ride-it is chilly and the roads have ice underneath the snow/sleet-we've prob. gotten about an inch-inch and half!! Hopefully more later if we don't get dry slotted!! Hopefully no rain-need all snow!!
So much for the "Quad City Crippler"....
