Crazy wet! This is as sopping wet conditions that I have witnessed here in Iowa since 2010. In 2010 we had near 50" just in the growing season! It has rained on 13 of past 18 days. It's not the amount of rain, just 5.67" so far. It's the continuous moisture and no sun or wind to speak of. With the tropical rains from the pacific tropical system yet to come. Seems Iowa is primed for a flooding disaster? All outdoor work is totally haunted. My son's company's was able to squeeze in 200 acres of lawn mowing into just 2 days! But it was a mess. Farming has to be at risk. Fields are swamps. I honestly don't know how these millions of acres of grain we be! I've seen soybeans pop out onto the ground before and sprout in these conditions! Can't imagine the yield and quality losses coming? Folks like Snodgrass talk about harvest windows? Really? Windows won't work! Iowa will need 2 weeks of sun! @Grizzcoat keep us informed on any records of observations. Keep in mind my area has been one of the drier areas!

Fellow White Sox fan here too… got to see them win on Tuesday night when I was in KC. Watching the coverage of them clinching on Thursday was an amazing and emotional moment after the last 3+ seasons. Let’s go SOX!

The heavy wet snow snapped trees and wires causing seven million dollars damage. (26th-27th) (David Ludlum) (The Weather Channel) 1987— Freezing temperatures were reported in the Northern and Central Appalachians, and the Upper Ohio Valley. The morning low of 27 degrees at Concord NH tied their record for the date. Temperatures soared into the 90s in South Dakota. Pierre SD reported an afternoon high of 98 degrees. (The National Weather Summary) Here in Michigan. 1965- Wet snow mixes in with rain across parts of western Michigan for a very early taste of winter. 1998-The temperature reaches a high of 89 degrees at both Grand Rapids and Lansing. The warm weather fuels a severe weather outbreak across the region as a cold front arrives during the late afternoon. A severe thunderstorm produced softball-sized hail in Clare County which smashed skylights, dented automobiles, and damaged roofs and antennas. Damage was estimated at up to half a million dollars.

Not gonna lie, I'd like to see a return of road cam tim for one season. The tim that would cheer for the thaw out and debunk your own snow totals. I think it'd be an interesting watch @TT-SEA I know those warm outlier EPS members call out to you like the green goblin mask
