Talk about, report, and complain about weather here. It does not matter where you live. Talk about what you got. Snow, wind, hail, storms, virga, meatballs. Give information about what city is close to you. Pics are great too.
This map can be used by anyone and moved to your area. It is customizable for you and gives a lot of information.

To be fair, the reason I like it is decreased workload.

For the record, I'd like to find the author of Field of Dreams and fucking throttle his soul. Motherfucker from NY thinks Iowa is heaven. Live here in January you fucking moron.

I had a path cut and told them "stay to the left". Of course, when I got down the to assess the situation, they were 4 feet too far to the right. :-)

Hilariously, dad told me the coldest he's ever been ever was in Iowa. Him and some other guys did a Deere tour in I wanna say the late 70s or early 80s. If it was a Gold Key thing it was like 82. He said the high for the couple days he was there was like 0 and -20s as the low. He said there was a damn snow drift in his hotel room one morning. :-) Just brutal cold everywhere. Said the only place he was warm was the foundry. God I laugh every time he brings it up. He damn near shivers every time.
Dad hates the cold as much as anyone I've ever met.

If the average high in the summer was 60, would that be no good? 65? 68? 70? Note that we're talking about the daily high.
tell ya what man, after going thru a 3 year drought that finishes off with one of the largest bush fires in recorded history, it's done nothing but fucking rain, man!
right now it should be 90-95 F.
we are averaging a high of 68 F w/fucking rain. There is morning dew on our cars (even when not raining, man) at what is supposed to be the hottest time of the year.
Still snowing like crazy here in NE Iowa.
Forget about even trying to keep up with shoveling or plowing because the wind is at 30mph. Not looking forward to going home from work because that's when the physical work begins. Plow, Shovel and get all my heating wood to my elevated house on the lake/river.
Soooo ready for sand between my toes. [Reply]
Glad I used the rare sunny day yesterday to shovel my Jeep out from the foot and a half already on the ground to hit the liquor store for the weekend. [Reply]

That is so foreign to me, it's like trying to learn atomic physics. I can understand the concept, I just can't see it in my head. [Reply]
