How's the weather out there?
« on: July 29, 2014, 09:34:54 AM »
I heard some scary reports of big rain storms in the area.   :-o

Maybe we can use this thread for anyone to report the latest weather/salt conditions.

Here's the local radar as of 10 AM EDT.  Nancy reports that Mike Crawford posted on Facebook with a photo of the storm heading towards him.

Current Flash Flood watch.  Shows 0.2" for yesterday for the report.  Heavy flash flooding in SLC last night.  Still raining here 1.5 hrs North of SLC.  Looks like Wendover forecast has rain possible until next Tuesday most days but the heavy rain looks to only be possible through tomorrow and possibly again next Monday.  It's Bonneville though so I expect that to change.    Whomever is doing their rain dance etc. is allowed to stop.  I would rather my freshly planted sod die than SpeedWeek be held up due to rain!

Stop, hey? I'd prefer it if that person would be encouraged to STOP doing that dance.  if necessary, shoot to hobble him. :cheers:

Isn't it supposed to be something like 115 degrees F, with negative 5% humidity?

Ha!  Jon I am all for that! Ha that made me chuckle for a minute.  Whomever knows who is doing said rain dance will be rewarded handsomely for information leading to the "ending of the dance".  :evil:  Who is willing to donate to this fund?

Steve,  It will be!  Don't even doubt it!!  You will be getting the chance to run that little green machine soon!  Can't wait to see her on the maiden voyage!
