OK --- just taking a poll --- How many of you people believe in Global Warming now, after all of these snow storms?

Thanks, my orangeblooded brother!

No problem. It looks like you might get a quick 2 maybe 3 inches before this comes to an end after midnight.

newp. never really did lol

I believe it's now 'climate change' . We can't even get models right 12-36hrs right, why in the world should we believe they will get it right tens, hundreds, or thousands of years in advance?

EDIT: The VERY VERY VERY HEAVY Snow that im extremely concerned about is From Waxahachie to Granbury line, primiarily over the entire Johnson county. However From I-20 southward in Parker County watch for Heavy snow, but not as heavy as the other snowband.

NOTE:Moderate-Heavy Snow moving into Southern Dallas County. Now aproaching Dallas.

Signifigant Note: Radar indictaes backbuildingwith a devolping snow band Im now tracking from 15 miles West of Breckenridge to East Central portions of Parker county, developing snow band needs to be watched closely as intinsification is now in progress...(Moderate to Heavy at this time)

Ha, I was wondering when someone was going to ask that. I have heard some people say that these types of snow storms are caused by global warming.



Yeah, what global warming.......

What warmed the earth to end the ice age? Those dang Conservatives and thier SUV's.......

Well I never believed we cause any global warming. But if I did believe this one storm wouldn't change my mind on it. Just like one hot winter wouldn't make me believe it.


It's the weather. We can't control it.

moderate snow starting again on the west side of Fort Worth. Drier, fluffier flakes are now falling that are accumulating at a much faster rate.

Man Im starting to love this backbuilding/training ! Deveolping quicker than I thought, now on Radar and expanding...

i still believe in it to a degree... The idea behind global warming isnt to say that we wont ever set any new cold records, or that we wont have unusually cold winters/cool summers. The point is to look at the big picture and the climatology over many years, not only a small snippet. IMO, the evidence is overwhelming when you look at the big picture. But anyways, back on topic... To the person who lives in waco, i bet its torture.. but if i were you.. i would be taking me a road trip this evening (to the north)

This band seems to be falling in colder air as well. Roads are going to be very treacherous this evening.

[Weatherdude20]

Never believed in it either, but I like Ntx's climate change theory.

Orangeblood, what are temps at your place?

The earth goes through trends we only have stuff that goes back 100 years, or so. We've seen cold trends, and warm trends. None of which has anything to do with us. I don't think we could collectively doom the earth forever in just a 60 year time period. Considering how long it's been around.

[Ntxw]

To note CBS stated tomorrow's morning commute won't be as bad as it could be with temps now predicted to be around 30 (also NWS changed to this also). I would refute this with a thick snow cover and cold air advection working.

[Weatherdude20]

Ah, its getting hard to track 2 of the bands... Its getting so caught up almost in a huge glob... Lol

[Texas Snowman]

Roads going down hill quickly in Grayson County...
