  1. 68 degrees at midnight on Nov 9th. Pretty impressive.
  2. 6th 70+ degree day in a row here. Another on the way for tomorrow. MLI hit 76 today. That latest 80 at MLI is Nov 1st, so they gave that record a good run.
  3. MLI hit 73 for the 3rd day in a row. 71/73/71 in that stretch. Very nice albeit boring weather.
  4. 73 at MLI today, 71 here. More of the same on the way.
  5. Very windy this morning, with gusts up to 40mph. Pretty much taking care of the remaining leaves on the late trees. Gonna gamble and plant a sugar maple out back. It says you're supposed to plant at least a month before the ground freezes, so I may have waited a bit too late.
  6. Cedar Rapids is dead center in the middle of the slight risk today. Cedar Rapids is killing it this year. Derecho, multiple early season snows, epicenter of potential severe today. If luck continues maybe you guys can breach the 1ft mark for a snowstorm this winter.
  7. They should have painted triple phaser on there somewhere dammit.
  8. Just a few days ago was the anniversary of the record earliest measureable snowfall for part of the sub, 1947.
  9. She sounds like she was in a glass case of emotions.
  10. Margin of victory with cutters always seems a bit iffy due to dry slot issues, positive-tilt warm-sector convection robbing the cold-sector precip, overaggressive WAA, etc. Hybrid clipper systems is where it's at.
  11. ^ NIce pics Hawkeye, thanks for sharing!
  12. New guy came in at 20z and was like nah, and hacked 100 miles of the north section off out your way.
  13. Definitely will see a nice recovery later today, but as many have mentioned the cap remains the biggest issue. A lot of the guidance is popping off convection by early eve, so I'm leaning towards there being at least scattered activity like Hoosier mentioned. The substantial plume of steep mid-level lapse rates is very nice to see.
  14. That pic reminds me of the movie The Burbs with Tom Hanks. Next door neighbor had basically no grass, and had that extreme contrast going from Hank's yard to that one.
  15. On the plus side the dandelions appear to be thriving.
  16. Extremely impressive vids. The aftermath videos showing huge amounts of tree debris in front of literally every residence is amazing as well. These vids were shot on Pine Wood Drive NE in northern Cedar Rapids, pretty close to Hiawatha. The church losing it's roof is River of Life Church. Church viewed from the northwest side.
  17. Pretty sweet sunrise out back this morning. Won't be mowing for awhile though.
  18. Man, we just can't buy a decent storm around here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In all seriousness was hoping we could get a decent rain out of this event. There is a cell heading this way, but the overall trend is naso good.
  19. This August mini-drought has been enough to decimate an aggressive onslaught of July crab grass in my yard, so I guess that's a plus lol. 0.72" for Aug here.
  20. This video is pretty incredible. Might rank up there with the pine tree video. Near the end siding is ripping off the garage he's shooting the video out of.
