Since about One 'o'clock we've had this huge storm front passing through town. It's spawned four or five tornadoes, including some powerful ones that ripped through Arlington. Thankfully the worst of it passed over where I am. Spent most of the afternoon watching news reports on the storms progress.

We end up by default watching the ABC affiliate's ( Read more... )

After months and months of over 100 degree weather, we've had our first break. It's not even 80 degrees outside, and everything is just hunky dory. This morning when I went into work at 3:30am it was actually cool, it's been 80 degree weather even at night for a while ( Read more... )

Once again, there's snow in the forecast. Most of it is supposed to be showing up tomorrow afternoon, which will mean a nasty drive into work for me Thursday. Though I am hoping now that the Super Bowl is over and there's less reason for God to torment Jerry Jones, maybe it won't be that bad ( Read more... )

The weather men lied!Instead of a "light dusting" of snow they were predicting, we've gotten five to six inches of the stuff since midnight. When I got up to go to work this morning, it was already ankle deep in places. Against my better judgment I did go into work, and it turned out only a handful of people showed up as to be expected. We didn't ( Read more... )

We are expecting snow tomorrow which is certainly going to be loads of fun going to work in. The ice from Tuesday is still around, but for the most part the roads are clear. I'm doubting it's going to be a lot of fun for the next few days ( Read more... )

When I went into work this morning it was chilly and wet, but when I got out at 8:30, everything was glazed in ice. It took at least half an hour to get the windshield clean enough to even attempt driving. On the freeway, I kept it 30 or under the whole way home, and was lucky I was going the opposite of rush hour. I only had a few minor swerves, ( Read more... )

I missed posting anything Sunday, I ended up getting off work late and spent the afternoon watching Northern Exposure since I was just too tired to do much else ( Read more... )

We usually get at least one good winter storm in January. "Good" as in a day or two of icy weather followed by a quick thaw out. We are more likely to acquire ice accumulation than snow, though the progress of climate change has made snow a lot more frequent in the past few years ( Read more... )

We had a nasty tornado producing thunderstorm roll through Dallas County this evening . Two big weather cells rolled though, thankfully both of them went around my immediate area. Did hear the sirens go off around us, and kept a close eye on the news, though I think the WFAA weatherman gets way too enthusiastic at watching the tornado footage ( Read more... )

Been without internet access for most of the day. Probably a falling branch knocked the phone lines down around noon today. So I spent most of the day puttering around the house, trying not to go stir crazy ( Read more... )
