weatherfan2012 Posted March 21, 2018 Report Share Posted March 21, 2018 The fact we are likey getting 4 to 8 inch is a win considering all the misses we finlly got one that formed right in our region.just like some went over board with the foot plus idea some went over board with the bust idea a few hours ago.we need to remember late season events are complex and considering the complexity of this storm I think the pros did a very good job over all.any one that really thought this would be a foot plus in 95 and in the citys sat there expectation to high as models don't factor mixing and melting to well which is why many stated to cut the numbers in hafe.over all I think the 4 to 8 inch idea with more north and west and less south and east looks to be the right call.this amount of snow is still very impressive for March 21 and our idea for a late season past snow event varfies for this la nina winter.

That should be sufficient to kill half of us off. Really, this winter has been seriously weird here this year. I don't think I have been this chilled in a Texas winter.

Andie Posted April 13, 2018 Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 The areas of the Panhandles of Texas, Oklahoma, and northern Colorado into Arizona are dealing with drought. This drought is expected to intensify and expand this year. Fire season is upon us and having lived around wildfire I am not looking forward to this summer. I live SW of Ft. Worth and we have already had a 2000 acre fire just down the road from us. A 500 acre fire is big, so anything beyond that grows exponentially. Oklahoma just battled a 120,000 acre wildfire last night. We have scattered showers today but it was preceded with some large lightning strikes capable of setting off wildfires.

If it were any other state it would be a national disaster but "Oh well, it's just Oklahoma, they're used to it." Lol. Careful down there, friend. I remember the Bastrop fires years ago and that was awful. A bunch of men in my little company that I worked for here at the time sent aid for all of those folks. It was really sad.
