Here in North Texas near the Red River it was 43 at midnight and is now 18 with about 2 inches of snow pellets on the ground which are usually gone within hours. Probably be here for a couple of days if one believes the forecasts. Hard to believe I was having a Mart on the front porch Saturday night...
My sweetie in Chicago just called me. In between &%)@!*$ ??? words, he has been on the road for 3 hours trying to travel from Englewood (S. Side) to Evanston (N). He is on Lake Shore and said all you can see are the tail lights in front of you. Looks like they are going to close Lake Shore at some point. Problem is, this storm came in a couple hours earlier than they thought, and thus, did not send people home early enough. He has water with him, but is starving...no snacks in car. No idea when he will get home.
Here in St. George UT (SWmost corner of Utah, at the AZ border), even we’re getting a bit of weather here. Don’t let the sunshine fool you, when you open the door the winds are absolutely howling. Must be 40mph or so. We’ve gone down at least 30+ degrees.
Stay in and warm.
