North Texas "cold snap"

And I know you walked into your house and said "Honey, I fixed it!!" right!!

Haha! NO, but I did call her and say that the porch light is on! Funny how some things we usually take for granted sure look good when you've done without them for a while!

See....The whole thing started with a loose light bulb...

Looks like this next Sunday-Monday could be another verse to the same song!

Yep.. looks like for us anyway it will be a rainy event, they did say it "could" snow, but unlikely.

You guy's in Oklahoma might get slammed again. My brothers FIL lives in Hugo Ok. he lost some limbs on the last one, but kept the power.

Hugo? Is that in Oklahoma? Yes, I think they dodged some of the bullet from the last storm.

I really hate to sound like a complainer because come July I'll be praying for rain but for now I wish it would dry up some. Man! It's some serious sloppy mess around here with all the melt. I've got mud in places I've never had it before!

LOL depends on where the Red river is on any given day, actually he lives a few 1000 yards from Ft. Townsen, just east of hugo, nice country..

As far as the "mud", I remember those melt months while living in Colorado..nasty!!!

Hey Bird and Western, are you getting as much snow as I am this morning? I have about 3" on the ground and beautiful big flakes coming down quite heavily. I don't have any reason to go out (no animals or anywhere to go), so I'm just sitting inside with a big steaming coffee mug while watching the snowfall.

We don't have that much yet, Jim, but the forecast is for 3" to 5" today. The pictures are from about 45 minutes ago and it's still coming down. And, like you, I don't have any reason to get out today; got plenty of groceries and coffee on hand.

Bird, I have almost no wind here, and the snow is really coming down. I'm sure I have at least 3" of accumulation even if I have not measured it. If it keeps up all day as they suggested it will, this could end up being much more than forecasted. Here are my pictures from 10 minutes ago.

EDIT: I added a screen capture of the NWS radar showing this storm stretches all the way back out to Abilene. The Hwy 287 shield is right above my location and you can see that you are just beginning to get the full "benefit" of the storm. I think we are in for a goodun'.

How about PEANUTS?

Jim, those pics look a little familiar! Sorry, but you guys can have it for a while!
