Subdeacon Joe Posted January 21, 2017 Posted January 21, 2017 Looks like the Sierra got a lot of heavy, wet snow last night. Quote
Calamity Kris Posted January 21, 2017 Posted January 21, 2017 (edited) WOW!!! Would you believe we are supposed to get up to 71 today??? In January, in the midwest. I guess since it is Missouri stranger things have happened...... Edited January 21, 2017 by Calamity Kris Quote
Allie Mo, SASS No. 25217 Posted January 21, 2017 Posted January 21, 2017 Hi Joe, Alas, there has been no snow in my area. There has been a plethora of rain. I went out Thursday and believe that with the rain since then, I will only be able to get out with Hubby's truck. Our road will be hopelessly rutted. It was really bad Thursday. It isn't due to stop raining until Tuesday! Regards, Allie Quote

Michigan Slim Posted January 23, 2017 Posted January 23, 2017 Ohio reporting. Ground saturated, streams running bank full. Temps high 40s/low 50s. Uncomfortably anticipating a seasonal, meterologic Sunday punch! Ah, a weather report from a fellow turd herder! Yep, my plants have been running flat out for two weeks. Every sump pump and leaky pipe joint feeding us. I swear, the entire town would flood if these millions of gallons of water a day didn't make it to my plants. Quote
Allie Mo, SASS No. 25217 Posted January 23, 2017 Posted January 23, 2017 Today in Fiddletown, CA. Big fluffy flakes are falling. 1 Quote
Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted January 23, 2017 Posted January 23, 2017 (edited) Wow. Don't send that stuff this way, Allie Mo. ED: I would post the Mt. St. Helens webcam shot, but it is almost all white with snow and fog. Last time I looked the dome was still building. Apparently, if you see it at night you can see the glow of the lava beneath the dome. Scary stuff for the PNW. Edited January 23, 2017 by Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Quote
Allie Mo, SASS No. 25217 Posted January 23, 2017 Posted January 23, 2017 Our snow is already melting and will probably be gone by 2:00 pm. Quote

Allie Mo, SASS No. 25217 Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 It is so cold that we still have patches of snow two days later. Quote

Birdgun Quail, SASS #63663 Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 (edited) I hate snow. but.... 2017 should be a good year for California wines. Edited January 25, 2017 by Birdgun Quail, SASS #63663 Quote
Utah Bob #35998 Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 I hate snow. but.... 2017 should be a good year for California wines. Hopefully. But too much water is a bad thing for some grapes. Quote
Birdgun Quail, SASS #63663 Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 (edited) Hopefully. But too much water is a bad thing for some grapes. True. But, most snow melt off will be used for irrigation, which has been in short supply. My brother-in-law has a small vineyard in the Sonoma Valley that his uses to make a very nice Pinot Noir. He's happy! Edited January 26, 2017 by Birdgun Quail, SASS #63663 Quote
