I don't think thats a good thing for us. there is just not a lot of 'source' cold this year

Take what you can get before the cold comes and locks in for a while. Always nice to score some snow on the heels of a cold wave.

I believe there will be a pretty stout warm nose as this low starts to tilt and strengthens over the KS/MO border. if the storm was weaker it wouldnt draw up so much warm air but this season all the storms have been known to pull up that good Texas air. Its going to be the battle of the warm nose and the cold nose for those along I-70
