The weather service was way off on that one.

(wind chill about 8)...That Canadian air mass from the north is colliding with a line of thunder storms coming up from the south, right over us, producing thunder ice. We're suposed be waking up in the morning to snow and have between 6 & 12 inches by the time it's over tomorrow evening...on top of the ice. Not a big deal for you northern boys. But we usually deal with a lot of ice during the winter, not a whole lot of snow.

We got about 2-4 inches of rain around Springfield, depending on where you were last night. We are supposed to get about 2 inches of ice today and the 5-8 inches of snow tonight.

Highs of only 72....burrrrrr! Better check the antifreeze!!! | | | | | Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 197 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 197 | Well, it was about 4 degrees when I left for work yesterday. This morning I put on a pair of flannel-lined Carhartt jeans to be better prepared. When I let the dog out I found out it was a relatively balmy 32. But the wind is howling today, unlike yesterday. Quite a difference in temp but because of the wind it feels about as cold as yesterday. Hopefully it will warm up enough today to melt away some of the packed snow and ice. Be careful today, everyone.

Tiny,
Which south central Kansas town are you in? That would be Ark City (about 50 miles S of Wichita). Actually I'm not IN Ark City. We live almost two miles N of town on US77.

I'll be moving to McPherson in a couple months and I have a great uncle who is the vet in Winfield. Just wondering how close I will be to other stovebolters!
