Snow Yet? - Page 15

OMG we had snow all day today.

Yes, yes, you've all had snow for weeks. But I live in South Texas! You get snow in Dallas on a pretty regular basis, but not down here. On Sunday--the day before yesterday--it was 75 degrees, and we took the kids swimming. No shit. Today we got 2 inches of snow, and they let school out early.

3" - 22" they don't know. 25-60 mph winds they don't know. Thursday is all they know.

we have a warning, or a watch, or whatever, but who knows what's going to happen. We've had some significant melting, so there's lots of ugly dirty snow everywhere. At least it will cover the dirt.

Griff · 02-23-2010, 08:18 PM

We're in play here for the next few days as well.

squirell nutkin · 02-23-2010, 09:05 PM

about six inches today and we're set for another 8 tomorrow. A lot of knuckleheads off the road, business as usual.

Hang on, I just looked outside and it's DARK! and there's a less bright sun out too.

Oh no, we're fucked.

First wave missed us. We just got some rain. Yay!

Tomorrow we might get 1-6 inches of snow. At this point, that's nothing.

Statement as of 2:36 PM EST on February 24, 2010

... Winter Storm Warning in effect from 4 am Thursday to 7 am EST
Friday...

The National Weather Service in Binghamton has issued a Winter
Storm Warning for snow... which is in effect from 4 am Thursday to 7
am EST Friday.

Steady snow is expected to develop Thursday morning... generally
between 7 and 10 am. The heaviest snow should occur during the
afternoon and early evening hours... when snowfall rates of 1 to 2
inches per hour are possible.

By the time snow begins to taper off late Thursday night... storm
totals of 8 to 12 inches are anticipated... with localized amounts
of 12 to 18 inches on the hilltops... and where any heavier bands
are able to set up.

Important considerations for this storm will be both the heavy wet
nature of the snow... and increasing winds late Thursday afternoon
and night. Sustained winds should pick up to 15 to 25 mph by early
Thursday evening... with gusts of 30 to 35 mph. Scattered power
outages... and some tree damage... can be expected.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A Winter Storm Warning for heavy snow means severe winter weather
conditions are expected. Significant amounts of snow are forecast
that will make travel dangerous. Only travel in an emergency. In
addition... heavy wet snow could cause scattered power outages.

Snowed overnight in Scotland. 11,500 people (approx) without power.

Not a sniff of it here.
Thank goodness. The 'rents are flying into Gatwick tonight - I don't want them home too late as tomorrow is my first day of school! About the only reason you'll ever hear me not wanting snow.

Felt stupid for having ambulance take me to work yesterday on merely wet roads, then bring me home on mildly slidy ones. Although they did have to pull over and active the 4WD on the Excursion, so I felt a little better.
