Drone footage of the tornado damage last night. The neighborhoods are toward the end. At least F3 but some houses collapsed so maybe F4.

Right now they’re saying a strong EF2 they might upgrade it to an EF3 though since I’m sure they haven’t finished the survey. Edit: having seen some more of the footage I’ll be surprised if they don’t upgrade to an EF3. The really scary part is there was little to no warning.

We had (typical January) ice on Monday, skating rink on the late afternoon sidewalks, then it melted. Today's one inch of constant afternoon snow was forecast to be a dusting.

I was looking at the storm path from what came into California a couple of days ago. Big storm out in the Pacific and it didn't stop in California.

@seedcorn , didn't I understand that you live north of Indianapolis?

I see Fort Wayne is anticipating quite a lot of snow.

The Rogue Valley downslopes and upslopes kept us from having any rain or snow this week. But Grants Pass and northward got hammered. Another Alaska storm coming in tonight.

I'll take an earthquake over a tornado, any day.

There was several inches of rain in the sheep's food dish this morning so it must have poured last night although I slept through it. Back to blue sky and fluffy clouds, though, today so the sheep will hopefully dry out. The rain is okay, though, the garden got planted three days ago and rain seems better than water from the hose

I think that the Weather Service guidance may have been off by several miles too far north.

@PhilaGardener , check in sometime and tell us about your neighborhood. ... gee, that sounds like it's too close to sea level but it looks down right chilly there so ... there goes the highways!

Today was a high of 68 and sunny. We did have a small rain shower pop up but it only lasted about 15 minutes. A cold front is blowing in overnight and we have a low of 32F

The sheep are still wet but the garden is sprouting so it's not all bad.

the wind was calm this morning when i put the trash and recycling out so i shovelled the bit of snow off the driveway while i was out there. in my crocs and thin sweat bottoms. i had my circle scarf on to keep me from breathing cold air but it was 28F so not too cold. took about a half hour to clean off the drive and just as i was coming in the wind kicked up a moment. the sun and air can get at the drive now today to melt and evaporate any remaining snow and ice out there. i hated to leave the snow on it yesterday as i did, but i didn't feel the best and thought it better to not go out as it was a lot windier and colder during the day.

Currently 37F this morning it’s not supposed to get much warmer and the wind chill is in the 20s. Had a little bit of sleet this morning but nothing stuck.
