Winter Storm Warning downgraded to a Winter Weather Advisory. As far as I'm concerned, this 'winter storm' sucks. The stupid NWS jumped the gun, and put us under a winter storm warning 2 days in advance! OOOOOO..and jim flowers is a moron. 8-12" what a moron. now's it's 4-6, cut in half. Just shows why meteorology is such a great field to go into....nobody is going to lose their job over being complete idiots. :D

Exactly what they thought would happen... they said there was the possibility of the thunderstorms in the south to "steal" the gulf moisture away from us. The originial forecast thought the thunderstorms would not steal as much moisture as it did. Regardless we could still get a few inches and mess up the roads for a bit.

Here's a picture from outside the window at 10:20am CST. The picture is of low quality as the camera isn't liking the snowflakes too well, nor the low visibility.
