tunafish Posted Saturday at 05:11 PM Share Posted Saturday at 05:11 PM At the kids soccer game in the rain. Made 3/4 the way through the game before we had several claps of thunder. Not a single person - ref, parents, coaches - considered calling the game until I said something. Total f*cking morons. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They fully defoliated all trees of the Populus genus - aspens, balsam poplar - and moved onto other hardwoods. Their squashed bodies stalled a train north of HUL, and a neighbor in FK had so many piled against his Bilco door (worms couldn't pass the metal flange atop the foundation) that he used a snow shovel to transport them by the thousands to his burn barrel. People would open their door and see hundreds heading over the threshold, sometimes resulting in those folks temporarily moving elsewhere. Only 4/10" by 9:30 and not much since, with the last decent band now overhead. Maybe reaches 2/3", probably less, but even dz at mid 50s is nasty. Your storytelling makes you an American treasure. I can barely remember what I had for lunch three days ago. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a pretty extended period of dry and often sunny that line came through with heavy rain. Still pouring. No thunder however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully people east of here are at least getting in and OK Saturday this afternoon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be quite breezy too far SE areas with the LLJ passing overhead. But I guess that is better than upper 40s/lower 50's and a heavy rain Someone laughed 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
