Looks like it is heading north

Well I just want to say again, the weather people have a hard time predicting what is going to really happen. The weather has changed a lot through out the day. I do not think we are going to get all the snow they predicating but I am happy we are not getting the ice. Well they have called and there is no school for Wednesday. Enjoy your day off!

Time is 1:04 PM

Well since my last post we went from no snow to about 2". The weather people and news reporters on TV are making us laugh. They all have such funny hats on. I have taken some pictures and will share them with you. I think I will make a little show of all my pics to play in class the next time we are together. Have fun and be safe!

The Big Snow

Well I thought since I am going to be snowed in that I would blog about the storm. As many of you know I am a certified weather spotter with the National Weather Service, so I was thinking I would keep you posted while keeping them posted as well.

As my morning classes know before we had our early dismissal yesterday, this is going to be some storm and it has been years since we have had anything like this. Part of this is do to the weather pattern change from a El Nino weather pattern in the Pacific Ocean to a La Nino weather pattern. And also just plain timing of 3 weather systems coming together in the mid-west.

The last big ice storm you should remember from 2006. But the last time we had record snow in the area was in 1982. So get out your yard sticks and measure away. We have our all set up in the backyard so I will try to get some pictures and post them as I get a chance.

Check back soon...... so as of 9:00am in Carrollton the precipitation coming down changed from a wintery mix to snow. Enjoy your snow day, listen to some music, make some hot chocolate and enjoy a little nature!
