Kelly 1,033 #3 Posted April 17, 2011 I hear you, last sun. it was 87 and I got sun burnt, today it was 29 with the wind chill, and calling for 4-6" of snow tonight, anything over a 1" will be a record for us on this date. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky-(Admin) 23,122 #4 Posted April 18, 2011 Hopefully we are all done with the snow and cold temps for this season here in lower New England. I just opened my seasonal camper (Massachusetts) for this year and I have all the water hoses hooked up so a cold snap would really suck . Mike..........

stevasaurus 23,274 #12 Posted April 21, 2011 I am starting to think that we have already had our spring and summer. I have seen the birds heading south again. I heard chirping that sounded like, " frig it, I'm out a here". I am leaving the snow blades on at this point. :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,599 #15 Posted April 25, 2011 Mother Nature may be a joker, but no one is laughing around here. Several tornadoes in the St. Louis area, the strongest an EF4 with winds up to 220 mph, reported over 2000 homes damaged, some were literally wiped out completely. Most have probably heard about Lambert Airport being hit - technically it wasn't hit by the tornado as the tornado followed a path right down I-70 (the airport is a little north of I-70), but it was winds that caused the damaged at the airport. In all, 7 tornadoes were confirmed in the St. Louis area and surrounding areas alone. I'll take the white stuff any day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,599 #18 Posted April 26, 2011 Hey Dan "dkopp": Everything OK in Poplar Bluff? We're hoping your levee holds! Steve Also, I heard there was a tornado west of Poplar Bluff, not to mention the killer one in Arkansas also. With the flooding, levee breaks, and tornadoes, southeast Missouri is getting hammered.

dkopp 1 #19 Posted April 26, 2011 I'm high and (somewhat) dry. I live on the west side of PB and not in any danger of flooding at my house, but those on the lower east side are under. Not to mention 10 miles of Hwy 53 and just about every county road out there. It's super flat in the bootheel and the water drains slowly. Last night about 5:30 it rained hard for about 2 hours. Got 5 inches total last night and that brings the grand total up to 14 inches since Thursday night. Anybody got a set of pontoons for my little Murray mower? How about one of those underwater weed-wackers? Bad thing is, it's not over. We are inline for another round tonight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dkopp 1 #20 Posted April 26, 2011 Here is a link to the USGS website on the current stats of the Black River at PB. It's not as high as it was back in 2008, but it could surpass that if we get enough rain tonight. Actually, back in 2008, most of that rain fell to our northwest and pushed it up that far. USGS Website for Black River @ Poplar Bluff As far as I know, the levees are holding, but water is going over them at certain spots. Had reports of funnel clouds last night but no damage to speak of that I've heard of. Thank God! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
