We got snow today, and for a while it was falling at the rate of 1
inch every 10 minutes. It was amazing to watch -- and a bitch to keep
up with shoveling...

But 6 inches of ICE? Jeez.

The pireps looked pretty bad down around ORD yesterday. Even the big boys
didn't like it.

It's still too cold and dry to snow here, I think the dew point yesterday
was something like -19. But I suppose that's what will happen up here when
it finally warms up, we'll pay for it one way or another.

What made this storm so unusual was that it was so *cold*. We were
getting absolutely dumped on, and it was still only 5 or 10 above
zero. Very unusual.

Now, we're back in the deep freeze.

Last week I was only kidding, but I really did sit in the lawn chair
yesterday to get some sun. It's freakin' spring down here.

Not so fast... the prog charts are showing a long reaching cold front that
will eventually stall out around the border of Texas and Mexico and I see low
50s and even low 40s in your seven day forecast.

While 40s and 50s might be spring to us in the Northeast US, 9 out of 10
Texans interviewed admitted that 40s is just freakin' too cold to sit out on
a lawn chair and give their face more sun-induced wrinkles.

Just a temporary blip... the Cardinals and Robins are already setting up
their nests... Grocery stores are stocking suntan lotion...
