redkneck Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 Storms came in after midnight last night and then the hail started. Went for over an hour banging on my window and finally I took my truck up to the truck stop to get under the awning (my 2 car carport only holds my wife's truck and the rest is all my table saws etc). I was afraid I was about to have another ins claim and another $500 deduct. Luckily it never got larger than about 3/8" and no chipped paint. This morning you would swear there was snow on the ground with all the white drifts still under eaves and on the side of the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 Good thing you had no damage. Woke up to hail and high winds here Thursday morning early, tornado watches were in effect too. Luckily here last night all we got was more rain, which we really did not need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are looking at possible flooding here if all the rain they say is coming shows up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 Thankfully missed us for the most part. We got a little rain last night, which we did not need. Standing water in a lot of fields around here with 20+ inches of snow melting off, the field tile in my field sounded like Niagra Falls. Sure will be nice to see things dry out a bit so I can get some dirt spread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily here last night all we got was more rain, which we really did not need. We missed it Thurs morning, but was coming down at my boss's house that lives about 50 miles north of me. Been a bad weather year for sure, but at least the drought is not a problem for a lot of us in the south for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 Wow! Good thing you didn't have any damage done! Hail can be more dangerous than a lot of people think! I've been watching the Weather Channel and seeing how much bad weather has been going on down south. You can send some of your rain up here once our snow melts if you get tired of it It rained up here the other day and for the past two days, it's been extremely foggy. Yesterday we couldn't see more than a couple hundred yards out the window, but the visibility is a little better today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckee Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 Geesh we've been getting those nasty high winds and cold temps here too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 You just can't catch a break, William. We are looking at possible flooding here if all the rain they say is coming shows up. There is and has been water standing here in places where I do not remember seeing it standing in the past. We did have about a week of dry weather and managed to get a good bit of dirt work done, but still have more to do. Thankfully missed us for the most part. We got a little rain last night, which we did not need. Standing water in a lot of fields around here with 20+ inches of snow melting off, the field tile in my field sounded like Niagra Falls. Sure will be nice to see things dry out a bit so I can get some dirt spread. Yep, could use a week or more of dry weather here and some sun and light winds. Have water standing everywhere, mosquitoes are already terrible. We missed it Thurs morning, but was coming down at my boss's house that lives about 50 miles north of me. Been a bad weather year for sure, but at least the drought is not a problem for a lot of us in the south for now. Wettest summer last year I can ever remember, followed by more snow than I can remember. Will be interesting to see what we do get this summer. Someone told me the farmers almanac was calling for a drought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 Someone told me the farmers almanac was calling for a drought. I hope so. I have a lot of landscaping to do, not to mention hundreds of feet of drain tile to lay. :camera: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunt or be Hunted Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 Missed us up here! just a lot of rain!! But we need it. We have been having small field fires here and there its so dry. So this is something we need. Glad nothing to bad hit you all down there John!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkneck Posted March 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 We have been having small field fires here and there its so dry. Us too Jeremy. Last week I bet we got called out to 10 fires with everybody burning leaves in the dry spell we had. Don't have to worry about any of that for a while.

Shaun_300 Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 Nothing much here except sun and warmer than normal temperatures. Supposed to get a little rain here Sunday. All next week the highs are between 50 and 55! Pretty soon we'll be golfing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
