Lots of sun and lots of wind today.

Moderate rain. 1.02" since midnight.

A nice stretch of dry sunny weather is finally on the way. More 70 on the way. Easter weekend is looking spectacular!

Rain/snow mix just changed to all wet snow here. I already have an inch! Insane north to south gradient!

Yesterday 3 years ago was a weather day I wont forget! March 31 2023 2 seperate severe thunderstorms passed over mby! I produced ping pong size hail (largest of life). Fortunately the hail was short lived, avoiding extreme damage. However mine and many neighbors got new roofs that summer. But the cell producing a F3 tornado was incrdible! It crossed Wapello county mostly as a rotating wall cloud, including Ottumwa City. We have a basement but with no wheel chair access we loaded my disabled son into his van and went to the local hospital half mile away. The dropping funnel passed over my land!! About 1 mile from my land it touched down! Quickly becoming a monster!! See photos just 3 to 7 miles from my home. The twister pics below are not mine. But most of the aftermath pics are!
