Days like this make me appreciate living here.  Talking to my buddy in Dallas, he's dealing with ice, and I just got home from an 82 degree day with sunny skies and a nice balmy breeze.  Tonight it will drop down to a chilly 65 most likely, with a little less breeze.  

I'll think of you poor SOB's while I'm having a margarita with steaks I just tossed on the grill.

You folks in Texas have no idea what a winter storm is.  Come to Colorado.  How much snow do you guys have that they are canceling school for?  a foot is a delayed start and 2 feet is canceled.  Cheaters.

Aye, ice as well Egle, but never fog.  My school district is, in my opinion, one of the most strict regarding cancelations.  Regis Jesuit High School closes when we get an inch of snow "just in case".  But seriously they are closing schools in the mountains now.

Chilly 65?

LMAO at 65 Im still in a Tshirt and working outside.

We're "supposed" to get anywhere from 3-5" tonight and another 3-" tomorrow
which for here is a nice sized storm.
Dont feel too bad for me though as it has become my tradition to BBQ during the first major storm of the year, Blizzards, and The Coldest day of the year.

The toughest thing for me tomorrow will be deciding on if Im doing Steak,Ribs, or a Beef or Pork Roast.
Might even throw a few shrimp on for good measure.:aok

Always wanted to go to Min during the winter for the Ice festival.
Always wanted to do that sledding thing down the side of the mountain and across the lake too. Looks like great fun
Had a Brother in law who's parents lived there and they used to say "As long as the cars will start. Nothing closes down. Least of all School"

I remember my days living in Atlanta.  An inch of snow shut everything down.  I moved there after living in New England.  In NE an inch of snow didn't make the news.  Personally I like snow.  Covers up the cr*p and I mean, he** it's winter time.. there is supposed to be snow.  It also makes hunting Black Bear a whole lot easier.

For crying out loud!!! It was down to 28 degrees the other night. The daytime temp barely got to 57!!! It made riding the motorcycle a bit chilly with just an unlined Levi coat! BBBBRRRRRR!!!! Fortunately today it's back up to 65. It's been over 46 days since any precip in Tucson.

It was 86 in dallas this weekend.


I have no idea why they call it a "winter storm" we had very little ice and almost no snow.

Well it was cold anyhow.

I was actually thinking that a small plane from South America was forced to drop its "cargo" over Dallas.  Easy to mistake the white substance when you never get real "snow".

My feelings exactly.

I come across people when they say its gonna snow who moan and groan about it and I tell em "If you dont like snow what the hell you living in the northeast for?

Did you get any Bear?
From the latest reports I've heard something like a couple hundred have been taken so far.
And a couple dozen protestors arrested:aok

Myself personally would probably end up shooting  one of the protestors.
Then saying "oops, thought he was a bear"

We're supposed to get 6-8 inches of snow here.

But the problem is that I am at a walking campus.  So pretty much unless it is impossible or dangerous to walk to classes (at most 15 minute walk in clear weather), classes won't be canceled.

You folks in Colorado have no idea what a winter storm in Texas is like. The schools arent closed for the snow they are closed for the sheet of ice covering everything.

Ahhhhh, don`t break out the crying towel just yet for us. Had about 3 gallons of venison chili simmering when the ice hit along with a bottle of JD #7 and a stack of DVDs. Life is good. :)

I wasn't hunting myself this year.  Went out with some friends who were though (I was there for comedy relief and to take some pictures).  Followed some tracks but didn't get anything - ironic as every other time I've been up in NW Jersey I've seen at least one.  Personally, I think my friends make too much noise while moving and tracking (but that is just my opinion).  Last I heard somewhere over 170 were bagged.

We got that storm up here yesterday, got stuck on 128 for 2 hours. We had big time thunder snow. Not just the random flash and rumble of thunder, it was like being in a thunder storm, constant flashes and booms, got 5 inches of snow in an hour and a half.
