I was stunned there wasn’t a FR thread on it (at least I don’t remember one) at the time because it was historical.
There may have been others (but I don't know about them)... however, these are the ones that I posted... :-)
Oooops... mistaken double post... :-(
Wow. I remember looking at some point and not seeing one, but maybe it just wasn’t in breaking news or got added later.

You know... I put a couple in breaking news and the mods took them out, so I didn't do it for the later posts. I'm not sure why... because I thought that this kind of weather and with it hitting so hard and so fast, it was "breaking news" but apparently not, according to the mods.
In fact, I put the first post I did for this storm system in breaking news and it was taken out, too... LOL..
I'm not sure if this one is still in breaking news or not... but, as I said, apparently some people don't consider this breaking news... :-)
[P.S. -- it's breaking news to us here in Oklahoma... :-) ...]
It is 65 degrees at my home right now with sunny skies but I am well prepared. Hard to believe there is a winter storm on its way.
Same to you — stay safe and warm!
Our weather people tend to over hype around here although they missed the blizzard until it was right on us.
Can you believe it is 65 degrees at my house right now in Norman and sunny. You would never know a storm is on the way.
Trivia — This date in 1983 the Santa Monica pier was taken out by a storm off the Pacific. I remember that storm as we lived in Yucaipa and we roof tiles moved by the wind that night. I stayed up all night watching live reports and saw the pier crash. Several weeks before we had eaten at the restaurant in the pier. Really sad to see it go down.
It is 65 degrees and sunny here this Wednesday afternoon and we are not supposed to get any precipitation until well after midnight.
BRRRRR Bump!

Yes, indeed... here in Tulsa it got up to 60 degrees, like they said it was going to. And the sky was real blue with just a few clouds around -- such a great day for the winter season.
But, from the west, the clouds have now started moving in and they are starting to cover up the sky. So, you can see the storm system start to move in. The temperature is still quite warm here though and so the cold air hasn't hit yet.

It's going to be, but it's not here yet. Today it got up to 60 degrees in Tulsa. It's still almost at 60 right now. So, the cold air hasn't hit yet.
The clouds have started moving in from the west, though and so the storm system is inexorably moving this way... :-)
Just to think..., in less than 24 hours from being a nice sunny, clear sky at 60 degrees, we'll move to rainy/icy and sleet and snow..., and it could be a very bad one, too.
