I hate that the national weather media decided to name storms and creates a frenzy with weather, and some techie created a map that you can highlight an area and it determines that 11.4 bazillion people who live there will be affected by storm system Gacy/Dahmer/Lecter/Aggy. When I was a kid, storms weren't a big deal until the National Guard had to be called out. It happened twice that I can remember, when highways became unpassable and cars were stuck. They would roll out in deuce and half's, throw people in the back and take them to a shelter Where you at, Wally?

I've only changed a tire once and it was on the shoulder of I-35 a few years ago. Our insurance's roadside service said they would come in 3 hours. Called the phone number on the back of my driver license and they said they don't change tires. Fuck it! Changed it right there.

February 7, 20196 yr I'm in Fargo this week and they shut down the offices in the middle of our UAT. On top of that, most retail places are closed and it's a proverbial white shit storm out there.

February 7, 20196 yr Yep, and I will be in Minneapolis in a few weeks. It's great dontchaknow, yah? Long term for fargo anyways is colder than average end to February but with less storms. I assume mpls will be similar
February 8, 20196 yr Fuck we are getting some kind of frozen white balls in central Austin. Sheeeeeeiiitttt
February 8, 20196 yr 8 foot drifts up here in the mountains of Western Travis Co. They're talking about helicoptering food and supplies in.
February 8, 20196 yr We are getting legit snow. Light and not sticking but it’s not sleet. I’m preparing to kill and gut a neighbor and use his carcass for warmth.
February 8, 20196 yr Oak Hill was getting hammered by sleet and snow. Highway was solid white with it at one point.
February 8, 20196 yr Thoughts & Prayers to all those in Austin Meanwhile in Minnesota and the Dakotas

February 8, 20196 yr Just now, Trey3216 said: Quite a bit more than a day or two most years. It's pretty far above sea level, right? Makes sense they'd have a legitimate winter.
February 8, 20196 yr 1 minute ago, Al_4_ISU said: It's pretty far above sea level, right? Makes sense they'd have a legitimate winter. Lubbock is 3202. The Panhandle might as well be Canada for most Texans. Edited February 8, 20196 yr by UnivTex34

That and they get those fronts that barrel down the Eastern edge of the Rockies. Lubbock isn't quite Amarillo in that sense, but they see a lot more than DFW does. It's pretty wild the stark contrast in frequency of winter weather between the NW edge of Fort Worth and Dallas. Just how the jet stream dips here
February 8, 20196 yr Want to see what the weather is doing up in the panhandle? here is a link or link's https://abc7amarillo.com/resources/ftptransfer/kvii/schoolnet/schoolnet.html https://abc7amarillo.com/weather/cameras

February 8, 20196 yr So is this the last cold snap of the "winter"? Back to 60s/70s next 10 days it looks like.
February 8, 20196 yr 1 hour ago, LonghornJones said: Niagara Falls...but yeah. Careful, or Claire will find out you're a virgin.
February 8, 20196 yr Big shitstorm of graupel coming down hard Bee Cave area. 71 is getting slick. Careful until that shit moves out. Will melt on the roads, though... all the warm weather the past week has trapped heat, plus temps are generally above freezing (but not by much) areawide. But if you get caught in it as it's coming down before it melts, it's very slick. Oh, yeah, if you don't know what graupel is, GTFO!!!!!!!!!!! This guy knows.

February 8, 20196 yr My 18 year old called me a little while ago to tell me how cool it was that his car hit a patch of ice on an overpass and started to fish-tail. I'm pretty sure a micro-second of loss of traction doesn't qualify as fish-tailing, but whatever. The kid has never lived anywhere but Austin.
February 8, 20196 yr Fucking told you guys there was such a thing as graupel. And I did not think it could happen this far inland or this far south. I blame the zebra mussels for this lake effect bullshit.
February 8, 20196 yr 2 hours ago, phdhorn said: Okay, Sybil. We have never seen you two on the same thread together, soooooo
