Wallace,

DFW may get an inch of snow tomorrow, but looks like sloppy winter storm in the Valley tonight.

My Kansas in-laws are at Long Island just south of the bridge at Port Isabel.

And they're not happy.

If anyone needs a link to the local NWS office...

Mike, it was December 25th, 2004 when it snowed on SPI. We were at the house we had here and got many good photos of snow on palm trees.

For those who might think we have it easy here onSPI, be aware that it in very low 30's and the forecast is for ice and snow later today. Now, I don't mean to say that our weather is anything like Ernie's of Ralph's, it is not. I can only imagine how difficult it must be for all trying to maintain some comfort in their coaches.

The bright spot for the day; we aren't in Chicago.

Ernie,

I remember those ice storms in north Texas, Kinda stops everything until it thaws! I hope your power doesn't go out with those state mandated rolling blackouts we had around here yesterday, or if it does I hope the genset is working and you have lots of diesel, Mine is in the Bird barn with just the electric bathroom heater on low. Keeping it a toasty 50!

I guess Bim got out of your place and back to the hanger just in time, huh?

We are pretty lucky here - about 19 right now. Very cold for this far south, but dry. Supposed to snow tonight. Actually will start snowing south of us! They are saying maybe SPI will see snow again? I got caught in that when it last happened in 2003(?) I think it was.

Everyone stay safe! And warm.

mine is not buried in snow- but 2 inches of ice. It is on 50 amps, propane went south 3 days ago. No way to get propane. I have all electric heaters on. hot water in my house shower is frozen.

From high 70's on Monday to mid 30s on Tuesday, to a high of 28 in San Antonio today. In the teens now. I saw a report that said it was colder in El Paso, TX today than Barrow, Alaska! It's crummy weather over most of the US. Many of our members live in the affected path of this storm. Even Australia, where we have a resident member, got hit by a Cat 5 typhoon.

I hope that everyone is warm, dry, off the roads and safe!

On the other hand, there ought to be some interesting Bird of the Week photos out there. Send in the pictures of the Birds buried in snow!

Stay warm everyone.
