April Blizzard Predicted next week

[Whisky]

Guess I’d be owly too if I picked my beer brand “ironically” like a millennial and drank hamm’s eh short…

Wait, when the hell did Hamms become the millennial drink? I always thought it was PBR.

My snowblower is in the back of my shed, buried under shovels, and behind my lawnmower and grass barrels. My patio furniture is on the deck and porch. I have mowed my lawn, and my mother's lawn. My motorcycle is gassed up. Took the sandbags out of my truck.

the only thing I could have done further, would be to have washed all my vehicles.

I've done nearly all I can, to promote this storm.

Thanks for taking one for the team! ;:;bowdown

I feel bad for all the ranchers who are calving right now, but what this will do for the upcoming grazing season will be exceptional, for sure. It is kind of sounding like the Dickinson area to near Bismarck up towards Minot might be the bullseye area. But seen it before where they say to expect 12"-16" and we only see 4". Or they flip it and say 4"-6", then we get 16". But this one..........expect nearly 2 feet or more. Pretty confident I can fill my gas tank up in the snow blower for this one. Might be able to even make some gas money clearing driveways.

Don't you dare fill that tank up yet!

Pretty much the same here, I have half my patio set up, but everything else on the list the same. I will have to pull the blower out this evening and put it back in the garage for what I hope to be 24"s of heavy wet snow.

Doesn't sound like this will even be the heavy wet snow shit. Low temps and shit she might be more powder than anything. Been awhile since I've seen a 2 foot snow with 50mph winds.

Juuuust about ran the sump pump house out to the yard and flipped the diverter outside. Ha! Not today, Ma Nature. Gonna keep that sucker pumping into the main drain as long as I want.

 

[Slappy]

There are two systems behind this one projected to drop moisture in the Missouri watershed. The second system around the middle of next week will certainly be one to watch as well.

Yep, there's been an inkling of a second round come next week. Still a bit too far out for the NWS to really have much confidence in it materializing, but it's been on the backend of the models for several days already.


Damn chains fell off my snowblower's tires during the last event and I haven't put them back on yet. Might have to plug in the tractor and just push a path.

I have a couple large piles of deadfall I need to spark up. This storm should give me the necessary fire break to get that done later this week.

This is was what i was about to do plus pick up another back up pump until that national weather service video that was just published on facebook. They were just saying the liquid content ratio is 10:1 and said the areas that are getting 30 inches will only equate to 3" of liquid which aint enough to flood my basement anyway

PBR is too expensive now, Hamms is still cheap for the poor millennials that don’t want to work hard…..

Use the tractor to build a couple of giant fire pits out of snow........

Eric starts talking about this storm at about 11:40 and then gets into the next shit show coming on Sunday/Monday.

 

[LBrandt]

Well I have been watching Mother Nature predictions and the deer have been feeding in the Pasture north of the house the past few days. When they do that we got shit coming and that a fact Jack. LB

 

[Obi-Wan]

I did my part to keep the snow amounts minimal. I put the blower back on the tractor and drove it into the shop in case I have to blow my way out. I put the blade back on the UTV and backed it into the garage to push my way out if needed. I loaded enough wood in the house to burn the fireplace for a couple days if the power goes out. And of course I stocked up on beer to survive in case I get locked up with the misses for a few days.

 

[Kurtr]

Just rain down here hope it keeps coming and we hit all the next systems. Will take wet over dry years every time
