NWS says it's warmed up to 30 degrees now. It was 25 and snowing when I got up this morning. I don't know how much moisture it will be when it thaws, but my rain gauge has and inch and a half of snow in it.

Darn Bird, the weatherman was WAY off this time! and you where farther from where they said it would be. I figured we'd hear from Eddie or Foreman since thats where they showed most of the activity, maybe even Don.
Just alittle ice on windows this morning hasn't really been that bad,my rain gauge busted but we have had probaly 5in.rain since last week.Attachment 297885Quote:

Our family has been sick, luckily no flu, but bronchitus and upper respiratory crud. I had to get on anti biotics (Zpack) and it really helped. It seems to have knocked back the crud and my cough has gone down to a minimum but it seems to be creeping back. Hope I don't need another round of antibiotics. Doc said she usually only gives steroid shots if she hears wheezing in the lungs. I do everything to cough out the phlegm so at least something is good about the coughing.
I know some snowbird must have left the door open up north before heading down...I just hope they have a neighbor who can shut the darn thing and soon!
I hope you get better soon, Kyle. We got our flu shots early and have escaped that so far. We all passed a head cold around, but that has been our only problem so far this season.Quote:

I did get a laugh yesterday while the DFW Metroplex and east was in a snowy slippery mess. Our continued lack of precipitation paid off. We only had a few little sleet balls on the deck and steps. The storm went south and east of us.:thumbsup: Of course, I think our worst storms are in February. There's plenty of winter left for us to get our butts kicked.
Jim, it was cold last night, stepped out around 1am to get an armload of wood and you could feel the cold more than usual. Shoot, it was so cold I'm sure I heard squirrels putting quarters in the dryer vent hoping it would come on!:D BUT today we have a "warm front" going to a high of 51*!! Pefet temps for outside work if the wind isn't howling.Quote:
