Came looking for the weather thread....

It's really ******* cold, and it's not changing until next week at the earliest.

 

[MeanDean]

Not that it affects anyone else, but we have tornado warnings here right now. St. Lucie Co./Martin Co. Florida

Very dark, lightning and rain.

There have been three NWS blast-warnings so far on the phone.

 

[AgronAlum]

Ankeny just cancelled classes for tomorrow. It looks like almost everyone else is on a two hour delay.

60% chance of snow for Thursday

Not an Iowa State home game this week, so no chance. Our next 10 inches of snow will be next Tuesday into Wednesday.

Doubt it has anything to do with weather.

You'd think with politicians in the area all of the hot air would warm things up.

 

[Cyched]

Been freezing and snowy here all weekend, but fortunately some reprieve this next weekend

Looks pretty minimal

I'm sorry guys, I have tried to hold off as long as I can (as someone posted the same thing a year or so ago), but I just have to....

Waiting to see a 8-14 day outlook from the weather experts to see what latter half of Jan will be like. Weather.com has mid 30s and rain????? for Tues-Thur next week.

Yeah that has me worried as there is no place for the water to go at this time.

What's the deal on the weather next Wednesday? It's showing warm enough for rain, but the NWS said they kind of doubt that it will get that warm with the snow cover.

In Madison it's going to go on the snow/ice packed streets.

And then freeze.

Next week could be a sloppy mess:

What’s everyone’s best strategies for clearing roofs and gutters to prevent ice damming? Just a long handled broom or are there better tools?

Hardware/home stores *should* have a roof rake you can purchase. Fairly inexpensive when I bought mine 12 years ago up in MN. Probably $40. Multiple connected poles with a scoop on the end. Or there's some that you can push up and let the snow slide down a tarp/piece of plastic.

Roof rakes are great, but they will immediately fill your gutter. Then you have to spend time cleaning out your gutter. Kinda sucks.

I have a few drifts that go all the way to the gutters. So they’re already full. Just kind of worried with the warmer weather and rain potential coming that I should take care of those drifts.
