How's The Weather By You?

Bit of a strange day here, thunderstorms predicted again, the tornado yesterday fizzled out due to the cold air thank goodness, going into town to get something to be able to put spots on my concrete Lace Monitor.
 

Thanks for thinkin' about me TWHRider, but that snow's just in the high country. Right now it's 28 F degrees here, with a light wet snow coming down...not sticking to the streets or sidewalks. Still have around an inch left on the grass from the last snow.

It's hairy in the Dallas area when the weather is bad, one year I visited my sister in Plano, and she drove me back to the airport. Night before there was an ice storm, so driving to the airport was quite the experience...like driving on an ice skating rink. Stop lights were optional, whoever could stop did. :eek: Glad my flight wasn't delayed.
 
Rkunsaw...are you getting that freezing rain? It was predicted here, but we have above freezing temps today, 35 degrees right now, and the rain is about over...whew..was not looking forward to ice.

Oh darn..I was looking forward to seeing those Black Friday shoppers lined up in the sleet four hours before the stores open..Ho, Ho,Ho!

Would not want to be near DFW airport during the holidays, let alone during icy conditions. Been there done that for many years. The first two years I lived in Dallas I spent half my life stuck in airports in the winter Usually, getting out of Dallas was not the problem. Getting back from or going to Amarillo, Denver and Durango Co, Albuquerque and Silver City NM, Altus, OK, on connecting flights was the killer. I read a lot of books:rolleyes:

I was paid to be there, otherwise my FWA would have not seen the seat of an airplane. The weather is so unpredictable in some of these areas you never knew what you would be facing when you opened the motel room door in the morning. Getting to the airport was the real challenge. I knew I was in trouble the first time I landed in Durango and the only rental cars at the tiny airport were four-wheel drive SUV's...sure enough stuck there on several trips.

You hit that one just right, as weather that bad is a fairly rare occurrence in the Metroplex. Maybe once a year, or every other year, usually around January. Plano is a rough trek trafficwise to the airport in good weather conditions, let alone icy ones. You were brave souls for trying it.
 
Today, it looks like it's the East Coast with the most weather problems.

Had big soft snow flakes falling yesterday afternoon for a couple hours just north of Houston, TX ... that was a pretty sight.
Kids, home on Thanksgiving break, loved it.
Today is just cold.
 
We got the tail end of the US storm but just buckets of rain and winds over 100km. I have a tree down in the front yard and one in the back yard but they didn't hit anything and not in the way so I'll deal with them later. Picked up various empty garbage cans that blew all over the place and had one lawn chair that blew off the patio into the driveway.

It is quite warm out though so can wear a sweater instead of the old winter coat. No idea what the forecast is but I can see clouds, dark skies and blue skies all out of the front window. Kind of eerie actually.
 
It was 23 degrees at 8:00 am this morning. I put all my pre-cooked Thanksgiving side dishes and pie out on the porch overnight to keep cool instead of loading up the fridge, and it all froze.

Hey you folks would know, is it true Eskimos buy refrigerators to thaw their food in?

We had a gentle rain that snuck in quietly Jilly, didn't get any heavy stuff, didn't need it really got flooded out all round other day and that's still keeping everything happy.
 
It's been cooling down since midnight with the rain that has moved in .... currently raining lightly and 18.9C which is pretty cool for this part of the world just before Summer. It's not a cool as some of you in North America will be experiencing if this forecast is correct:
