We'll have the occasional snowstorm/icestorm. Last big snowstorm was in 2011.

Thursday morning will be a record.

Go to Grove every year for paddlefishing, so I kinda watch. They got hit earlier this year too.

Would be interested to see the snow totals of like there and KC so far this winter compared to us.

Yeah, they were calling for a dusting, or maybe an inch of snow, and we got 5-6 inches instead. :D Around 3 weeks ago.

My brother slipped on the ice and broke the **** out of his leg at work today down there.

:(

I haven’t gone out to measure yet but, unless something major not being forecasted happens overnight, we might hit 6” here. People have been freaking out the past two days about a possible 16”… I had my doubts, and all my weather apps were saying 8-12”. I looked at all of the individual models on Windy and saw one or two that had the 16” prediction, most were in the 8-12” and one was closer to what it looks like we are going to get.

Typical media taking the worst case outlier and promoting it. Though in fairness, they did call the bitter cold temperatures pretty spot on. That part of the forecast I actually believed though, those temperatures have been making at least one appearance a winter has been pretty reliable the past several years.

I was able to measure what is on the grill and I had 9 inches of snow. No clue how accurate that is though because of the wind. Parts of the patio have no snow and there are some huge drifts in the yard.

**** that sucksssssss

I ate shit last week on the melted, refrozen snow that turned into a sheet of death. It happened so fast and I dropped so hard I'm ****ing amazed I broke nothing.

Hopefully it's a quicker recovery break.

Daylight will tell story out in the rural areas. For sure have 8 plus inches on farm but as fluffy as it is drifte=s will be the issue. Cattle guys are calving now so will be imperitive they get to calving pastures with hay for baby calves to bed on and hay in all pastures for cows. So the roads will get tractor tire open but wee dont have township plows so it mostly up to us. This is Bates/St Clair county line country. Cass we have about 5 if i guess right, ill be plowing here about 10am

I49 is a mess going south Some jackleg semi driver rear ended a giant snowplow MoDot truck yesterday

8 inches at least here in Clinton. First time I can recall my furnace running all night

Back in the 70's we had a massive blizzard. They used the ANG here to fly C-130's with hay and drop them to the fields to feed the cattle.

I remember that. 3 days and nights in the kitchen. Dad brought my 90year old great grandmother to our house from town on a tractor. We had electricity, Lytton did not.

Dad shoveled snow out of the attic.

Hopefully the cow guys got their critters close to home and some shelter. Most guys here moved calving to March to avoid this kind of noise. But I'm sure some guys are calving now. Makes a guy like me happy he's not a cowboy.

Rear ending a snowplow is all time idiocy.

Ouch, that's really too bad, and it was super slick out. Nobody here (in our household) even ventured outside. Now it's a nice and clear sky, and has got all the way to +7 degrees. There were still semi's all over the place, interstates closed this morning.

Hope he gets OK!

Edit: The weatherman said because we got more sleet and freezing rain, it held the snowfall amounts down. We got around 3-4 inches, but it was on top of ice. 75 was closed most of the day yesterday south of Tulsa to Okmulgee with a sheet of ice, and it looked like a parking lot with multiple wrecks/stuck in the ditch/median.
