I love cold weather as much, if not more than the next guy but its beautiful outside today. 70 and breezy. A day like this here and there in winter isn't a bad thing.

I've been quite happy with how the weather has been. Sure it's miserable today with blue skies and no rain but tomorrow is looking much nicer. Keep that rain coming!

18Z NAM just took a huge step towards what I have been expecting. Much more Canadian like for tomorrow night. Snow makes it into the far NW portion of the Metroplex. The shortwave is stronger, slower and further south, at the strength it shows the shortwave it would be capable of producing heavy snow right under its center.

The last two 18Z runs have highlighted western N TX as the area to watch with runs in between showing some light snow at least.

It’s the bottom of the ninth. We’re down by one with two outs, but a runner just got on base and our most powerful hitter is up to bat.

What will happen?

Yeah I am going to Chicago in under 3 weeks but it still wont be the same up there


It definitely isn't the same. Snow in Ohio is fun, but its not like Snow in Texas where I spent most my life.

That's because she left us a strike. So you're saying there's a chance...
