Severe weather season is here

[Dakota]

A week after the blizzard, it's 50 degrees outside and the snow is disappearing.

As a followup to the Dodge flag pole breaking, this link is a video of the deflection prior to breaking.  You can hear the metal stressing.  (Harry Baals is a former mayor.  Yes, really.)

Very interesting article. I do wonder what the parents were thinking when they named their child Harry Baals. Reminds me of the song a Boy named Sue, LOL.

Some crazy drifting down near Chatham, ON.  You can barely see the cars on the road.

This helps me understand why you canadians tuck your cars away for winter.

I mean, we get cold and snow here in New Jersey but.... omg!

I can occasionally take my car out in the winter but only when theres no salt left on the roads.

We got 22" of snow here in Minnesota within 32 hours.   
This is a 22" Weber grill..     The grill is 39.5"(100.33cm) tall at the lids handle...

Tornado sirens going off here in eastern Iowa.  Crazy!

So far other than a severe wind/rain storm it has been an extremely mild winter so far, temperatures in the 30's, 40's and above 50 a couple times. That has now changed - 10-12" and still snowing. Not that severe but my back is not feeling so good as it's heavy, wet stuff. How many days till spring?

Trees and power lines down everywhere. Lost power Monday around 4:30pm and estimate for restoring it is today (Wednesday) around 10pm. Thankfully we have a generator so at least heat, well pump and some lights are working.

The Challenger dodged a bullet on the 31st.  Tornados blew threw the area.  This one was just south of my town.  No damage here.  The same system damaged my aunts shop where the Challenger was being stored.  The metal ceiling stayed intact even after the entire south side of the roof was blown off and both overhead doors blew in.  The car is dirty but there is no damage that I can see.

Wow thats crazy!

Wow. Close call!
Wendy and I just drove back from the Phoenix area with the 5th wheel. A few days before we left, on the news, we were seeing tornado reports, high winds etc. We waited for two calm days to tool across Oklahoma and Kansas. From the perspective of a Northern Ontario Canadian, it's strange having to watch the wind before you drive. I thought once we were south of the snow there would be nothing to worry about....wrong....I'd rather deal with snow than wind. Maybe it's what you get used to?

Glad Your car made out ok. Hopefully none hurt in the area?
