A derecho is a thunderstorm. The airport gust was under a clear sky, after the storms went through.

They haven't posted all of the individual storm surveys yet but that's where I got the summary.

:Lin:

Insanity.

Cant complain much about the NWS and local weather people. THey were calling that 3-4 days ahead of time

Near record highs here today. Then snow and cold for the next week.

what little snow we have is going away fast! It will be replaced tomorrow.

Not exactly typical Christmas Eve weather.

I ****ing love Global Warming. Lets figure out a way to melt the ice caps without polluting the atmosphere too.

Weird that I had to move back to the desert from Colorado to finally see some good soaking rains. It's rained harder, and for longer twice in less than a month that I've been here than it did all 2021 while I was in Denver.

Shorts and tshirt today during a Christmas Eve disc golf round. Thanks, climate change.

I am liking this warm Christmas thing.

Snow tomorrow

Maybe our pilots can chime in a little on this too

Major winter storm coming on Saturday.

Have fun with that. I just get the cold. High on NYD? -2. yes. -2

Got friends going to Webster SD this weekend ice fishing. Thinking more ice in a glass than actual fishing.

Winter classic hockey at Twins stadium on NYD.

I will start a new thread Jan 1

And at 5pm... guess they we're taking any chances with global warming this year. :eek:

We are 13. It’s going to feel like the depths of hell after the goddamned 50s and 60s we’ve been having.

There is a reason why the lowest two layers of Dante's Inferno are cold.

We have been really cold over the last week, but today we hit 24, which is going to feel like summer. The only problem is, the wind is also going to pick up, so the wind chill will still be below zero.

We had a nice warm start to the winter, but Mother Nature is making us pay now.

Got our first snow of the season a couple of days ago. Didn't amount to much, but it was just wet and heavy enough to cover the dish. Normally I don't need to go on the ladder and broom detail until mid-January.

We're supposed to get hit hard on Saturday - up to eight inches, starting in the afternoon. And as luck would have it, I have to go to my dickhead brother-in-law's wedding in Chicago on Saturday, which is also, of course, New Years Day. There really should be a special place in hell for people who get married on or near national holidays, especially during winter. I can't even begin to express how ****ing thrilled I am about the prospect of driving 35 miles home in a ****ing blizzard because that ****ing asshole can't be a normal person and get married in ****ing June like everybody else.

:cuss:

Hopefully the weather people are wrong, and it won't be a big deal, or, more preferably, be a huge deal and hit early enough that I can use it as an excuse not to go. I hate weddings anyway. And I pretty much hate my idiot brother-in-law no matter when he's getting married.

Oof. Chicago in a blizzard = no bueno. Be careful, man

No one should get married on NYE or NYD. No one.

One of my wife's best friends got married three days before Christmas once, and she was the maid of honor. Another ****ing asshole. So in addition to the normal hemorrhaging of cash that comes with the holidays, throw in paying for the wife's dress, hair/nail appointment, plus driving all over hell and creation to accommodate that bitch in shitty winter weather. God I was pissed.

We really aren't friends with them anymore, and that's the main reason why.

I will allow your reasons.

Am I seeing it right that Omaha is getting freezing drizzle now?

not seeing anything now, I am looking around for reports

edit NWS: Light Freezing Drizzle Fog/Mist

https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClic...7&lon=-95.9403

Yep

I had a buddy do it. Got married in BFE SE KS. Ice storm. I was like really dude? He tells me, “**** off. I wanted the extra deduction on this years taxes.”

ROFL

I handed off the mantle of the cheapest **** ever.

How much snow is west Shawnee and Lawrence getting? Whats the bottom line?

Looks like just a few inches

If you follow weather and have any year end comments or data. Put them here.
I will ask mods to close this thread soon.

My year end data at school

Very cool displaced!

I look at the "feels like" temps

110 heat index
-39 wind chill

that is a 150 degree difference

Even in December just normal temps

High 58.1 Low -06.8

There are very few places in the US that get that kind of differences.

You'll probably break the coldest night on the first day from last year!

I had 20.46 in of rain at my place in 2021. The average precip for around here is 28.5. If I figure in the snow we had using a 10:1 ratio I'd put my total precip at ~22 inches. Which is about 23% below normal.

February: **** you

Spring and Summer: Pleasantly mild

Fall and Winter: Great Temps, Dry as hell. 90 mph sand storm for 6-7 hours.

January: -20 windchill, 45mph wind, and it's only the first ****ing day


Sorry my data points are not specific.

32 and dropping fast with sleet here in western Illinois... guess I can't complain, its been unusually warm up until now

Outside of the sandstorm day this has been the best weather through Nov-December I've ever experienced.

65 degree days in late December? Dude, I dig it. This great weather has basically shortened Winter to 2 1/2-3 months.

Well, that is until Mother Nature goes on the rag and we get freezing temps until May.

Yep its been trending that way here close to a decade now, cold and rainy waaay too far into spring

Well they completely missed the forecast here in KCMO…I know the low pressure is hard to track but JFC you would have thought that one model would get it right…

What did they get wrong

Seems like a weak snow storm to me, maybe a quarter inch of snow with a little sleet mixed in currently.

Well, we survived the trip to Chicago. Left immediately after the ceremony. Roads were getting shitty but there was next to no traffic, so it wasn't that bad. Passed up on the free post-wedding Italian dinner, but it was certainly prudent to leave when we did.

Between covid paranoia and the weather, there were only about 15 people there total. Definitely the smallest wedding I've ever attended. Almost seemed comical to have that few people in a big downtown cathedral.

Anyway, thank God it's over and we got home safe. And I probably won't have to endure my idiot BIL again until Easter. :thumb:

All the people that moved here after seeing a couple episodes of Yellowstone, or during Covid, are about to get a reality check. LMAO It's time to bring the brass monkey inside.

We are going to be I the ballpark of those temps with wind chill, holy lord I can’t imagine that with our winds.

Gonna suck for a few days

Please advise how much snow Joco will get

That'll be a hard pass from me

This a thing? lol

I shouldn't be surprised..

2 to 4 inches is what I heard

Okay so 0.75 sounds good

People love that yeehaw soap opera something fierce. I’m sure it’s a real thing

I assume some people are also pushing northwest as Colorado and southern Wyoming/Cheyenne get more insanely expensive, and then don't realize they've gone too far until they're buried in 4 feet of snow with 40mph winds and a -40 wind chill and you can't go outside because you'll die.

Weather.com has it at 1 to 3 inches expected early Thursday morning, starting at around midnight while the temperature drops to 0 by early morning. Hopefully they get their pre-treatment down tomorrow night.

That shit makes it worse, not better
