Warden Callaway Posted January 22, 2024 Posted January 22, 2024 Most of Missouri is shut down from ice storm. Glad I don't have to get out.
J-BAR #18287 Posted January 22, 2024 Posted January 22, 2024 Icicles are small here, only a few power outages reported. Nothing like 2007, yet, thank goodness. Stay warm!
Okie Sawbones, SASS #77381 Posted January 22, 2024 Posted January 22, 2024 That same storm is dumping a lot of rain on us. Hopefully it'll fill our tank (pond) back to normal levels.
Stoney Bottoms, SASS #52760 Posted January 22, 2024 Posted January 22, 2024 It has not been fit to be out for over a week. I'm bored, I cleaned my reloading bench, I picked up the junk on the floor, another day I organized the shelves. I found the box of brass shotshells and they are loaded, and I came across the box of paper shotshells I got at an estate auction last summer. The brass is stamped Sears sportsman, Federal Cartridge, Buffalo, Canuck, Winchester Ranger, among others. I loaded them all with black powder, and some got a star crimp while some I cut down and gave them a roll crimp with an antique roll crimp tool. Did I mention, I am bored.

Yul Lose Posted January 22, 2024 Posted January 22, 2024 We’re getting some pretty good rain, 2.4” since midnight with more coming down hard. Gotta hunch you folks to the east might get pretty wet from this storm too.
The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted January 22, 2024 Posted January 22, 2024 Most intense ice storm I have seen since moving to Springfield, MO in Oct 2019. Very slippery outside.

Very slippery outside. Our lights flickered a few times but the power is still on. Temperature is now 33F but I only have one factory original kneecap left so I'm inside for the duration!
Chickasaw Bill SASS #70001 Posted January 22, 2024 Posted January 22, 2024 39f with light rain in NW AR , most of the ice is gone on the main roads be a lot warmer that the crap we have had for the last week or so CB
Warden Callaway Posted January 22, 2024 Author Posted January 22, 2024 Not the worst I've experienced. I can't tell if it fog or very fine show. Radar shows it past us.

Fire Truck was definitely going way too fast for the road conditions.

PF Since midnight we’ve gotten right at 2.75” and it’s still raining so don’t put yer slicker away for awhile. Correction on the total, I thought Mrs. Lose emptied the gauge, she didn’t.
Michigan Slim Posted January 23, 2024 Posted January 23, 2024 I slept in an hour this morning. Let the salt trucks do their thing. Glad I did. People were parked funny all over the place.
Rye Miles #13621 Posted January 23, 2024 Posted January 23, 2024 It's all iced up here, rain later and up to 40 so it should melt some.

Correction on the total, I thought Mrs. Lose emptied the gauge, she didn’t. Started raining here about 1000 (Mon 22) and continued til 2000 or so. Today after heavy morning fog, we've got basically sunny skies. Don't know how much we got but a lot. Looks like San Diego caught hell with lots of flooding. Are you up around Escondido? Stay safe! PF
Warden Callaway Posted January 23, 2024 Author Posted January 23, 2024 Today was the first day it got up over freezing. Freezing rain and snow yesterday. Today I made a Mule run to mailbox. I spun on wet ice so put it in 4WD. Here's what's the road looked like.
Old Man Graybeard Posted January 23, 2024 Posted January 23, 2024 Yesterday I called Midway USA to place an order….they were even shut down

Grafs, I'm assuming retail maybe internet business was closed. The factory where oldest son works shut down. Gunsmith Frank in St. Charles was closed. Some restaurants. FedEx didn’t deliver. Right now it's hard to see past yard fence.

PF About 8 miles N.E. Of Escondido.
Warden Callaway Posted January 23, 2024 Author Posted January 23, 2024 Poor farmers and people that have to be out. We just saw the headlights of the neighbors that rent our pasture out feeding their cows. Of course they are work hardened into it. But it's work that has to be done.
watab kid Posted January 24, 2024 Posted January 24, 2024 i really feel bad for all of you there , when we get that its horrible , lucked out this year so far , we are getting +30-40s this week , unheard of here in a long time , no sun , but no snow and so far no rain , good luck to all of you , stay safe
Warden Callaway Posted February 9, 2024 Author Posted February 9, 2024 Got up to 70 yesterday (February 8th, 24) but excessive wind. 23 gusting to 45. I'm sure it was higher at times. More crap out of trees that were storm damaged last year. I rode some trails last Wednesday and have a lot of new places to clean up.
The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted February 9, 2024 Posted February 9, 2024 Got up to 71 in SW, SGF. Wind was strong enough that we took down the bird feeders. Now they are say'n a good chance of snow by Monday.
Warden Callaway Posted February 9, 2024 Author Posted February 9, 2024 Mary dropped out what was left of old box of cereal yesterday. I made note that no birds or squirrels were out. Just now a bunch of Bluejays flocked in to clean up the cereal. Found first deer sheds a few days ago. Really the Jones Boys found them by their hay bails along our drive and left them for me. I ended up giving them back to them. Probably the varmint that lost them. Note the bald spot. Taken on trail cam about 100 yards away.
Blackwater 53393 Posted February 9, 2024 Posted February 9, 2024 Been pretty nice here the past few days. Mid 50s low 60s and mostly sunny. The weather guessers say it will remain moderate temps, but it’s liable to rain all weekend!!
J-BAR #18287 Posted February 9, 2024 Posted February 9, 2024 Maybe Punxatawney Phil was right! I can live with this in early February:
Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474 Posted February 9, 2024 Posted February 9, 2024 Up to 34F. here today and no rain, snow or sleet. Except for a couple of intense storms, we haven't had a lot of snow this year and what we had, we are slowly losing. It happens like that once in a while.
