I've had a contractor out and confirmed that damage is relatively minor, but widespread enough that I need to push for a roof because replacing individual shingles will look horrid. Glad to hear that a month isn't entirely out of the ordinary. I was just hoping to get on the books to get stuff fixed this summer (two sides of my house need siding as well) and know that every day that passes reduced those odds.

Mine was about a week, but he was a 3rd party contractor who flew in from California. He obviously got paid by the number of reports he submitted because he was worthless. Wouldn't even on the roof, wrote up the wrong shingle type and ignored the tree laying on top of the AC units. I ended up having the construction contractor resubmit the claim and West Bend didn't even blink at it. I think they knew the original adjusters were garbage.
Almost lost my old vintage 1996 Big 8 ISU basketball hat this weekend. Big gust blew it off my head and I chased down it just before to blew into the Minnesota River backwaters. It's my standard birding hat. Would have been pissed to lose it.
Coworker and I talked about this back in March. We talked weekly, they are in St. Paul. Getting a new bunch of snow every time we talked, it was nuts. Said I should watch out when it melts but I'm east of that watershed. Then they got that 90f week too and rapid melted a bunch.
Sure but is the wind gonna blow 50 freaking mph every day? Doesn't matter how warm it is if you can't enjoy it. Worst spring I can ever remember.
Imagine if the Des Moines, Cedar, Iowa rivers etc. were full right now feeding into the Mississippi
Nearly a foot in northern Iowa. It was a little further into May, IIRC.
It was nearly 100F 3-4 days after
Went walkabout in a nature preserve around 5 p.m. Supposedly 50 something outside but wind was gusting in the high 30's. Wore a light down jacket. Should have worn a stocking cap. Forecast is exactly the same tomorrow with temp 50's, wind 15 to 20 with gusts pushing 40 mph. **** this ****.
I leave Wednesday for a 10 day vacation. I expect the weather to be 72 and sunny in central Iowa for those 10 days.
1st-3rd with most of the snow falling on the 2nd.
