  1. saw a few partially melted flakes mixed in with the larger rain drops earlier in Clinton. Think it stayed all rain at home where there was less bright-banding. Just light rain now @ 40 degrees.
  2. Got colder than expected here this morning, as it got down to 33. Probably had frost in at least some patches. Looks like first freeze on the way for tonight.
  3. Feels like fall out there today with temps near 50 and spits of cold rain.
  4. First frost here this morning (patchy) at 34 degrees. Was in the low 40s till 3am due to lingering clouds, but plummeted after that.
  5. They should have painted triple phaser on there somewhere dammit.
  6. zzzzz. Pretty quiet start to the month. Hopefully something of interest later on in the month.
  7. Just a few days ago was the anniversary of the record earliest measureable snowfall for part of the sub, 1947.
  8. She sounds like she was in a glass case of emotions.
  9. 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.
  10. ^ NIce pics Hawkeye, thanks for sharing!
  11. New guy came in at 20z and was like nah, and hacked 100 miles of the north section off out your way.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. On the plus side the dandelions appear to be thriving.
  15. 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.
  16. Pretty sweet sunrise out back this morning. Won't be mowing for awhile though.
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. Nothing's gonna compare to the pine tree vid, but these two are pretty good.
  21. Glad things are getting more back to normal there. Definitely a pain in the ass to be sure. Found the location the infamous falling pine tree derecho vid was shot at in Cedar Rapids. It's on Greenfield Street just west of C Ave. This looking back towards the house where vid was captured.
