Who got hit by weather?

In article .com,
says...


It wasn't just the Eastern US -- the storm *just* missed us. Keokuk, a
short hop from here, got 6+ inches of the white stuff, and the Quad
Cities got even more. We just got cold, cold, cold.



Well, you've had your share this past year!!

Really? Where do you live?

A 45 mph gust in two years makes me think you live in a sheltered area, or your
meter is way off. A 45 MPH wind does not usually blow over semis, ect.

I was thinking the same thing. Shoot, during the spring we'll get
gusts to 45 pretty regularly -- and storms with winds over 60
routinely.

GA rules!

Amen, brother...to a point.

In conditions like you describe, I'm happy to let the heavy metal and
the pros do the flying. Of course, NOTHING was flying during the worst
of that ice.

My buddy in Springfield, IL says they only got two inches of snow --
but over an inch of ice. Entire trees and power poles were snapped
off like twigs, and he was on generator power (he lives in a rural
area) for 24 hours.

I'm really, REALLY glad it missed us!

I was weathered in and grounded, but I am at home at 4n0...freezing rain, snow to about 5"...pretty amazing how little
of the storm actually hit us compared to what happened all around...

Now that is a low pass!

About a foot of the white stuff in northern Michigan...
Gotta love it!

Not a flake here, everything was south of us.

45mph wind gust on my backyard wind meter, fastest I have had in 2 years
of owning it. Lots of trees uprooted, signs down, semis blown over,
crazy.

Indy, my weather station is in my backyard but I do live in a neighborhood.
I would like to put the weather station on the roof of my house but I'm
trying to not look like white trash...

Really? Weather stations are like couches on the front porch? I want to
put up a weather station on the side of my house some day but didn't
realize there was a stigma associated with 'em.

I would think you would want to put them where they are out in the open to
measure wind speed.

Do they make any with magnetic mounts that I could stick on the roof of one
of the parts cars in the front yard?
