Hi folks!
I wanted to put a thread up for people to check in at for all the DFW Rennies snowed in currently. I know our friends elsewhere around the country are laughing at us because we barely have a few inches and are still getting stuck, but unlike the rest of the country that deals with this on a regular seasonal basis, it is NOT the norm for us. Texas roads and Texas drivers + this weather = baaaaaaad idea!
The temps are supposed to keep dropping with not a whole lot of a chance for things to get better for the rest of the week.
We're -3 in Denton currently. Brrrrr!
Be safe, people! This crap is nasty!
Anyways, Elo here, checking in! Also, I'll post photos up later!
We almost always get similar weather to Dallas here in central Arkansas, but this winter storm went north of us. I'm concerned for Rani and other Oklahomans...OKC wind chill a couple hours ago was 30 BELOW. That's not a big deal for those in Minnesota, Wisconsin, etc., but that's on the chilly side for this part of the country!
It's just windy here in Maumelle, with rain and mist. Temperature is dropping though...
Omaha will end up with about 6" of light, dry snow. Add high winds and arctic temps and it's miserable.
Not as bad as the poor folks in MO. How you guys doing?
We're good here, Merlin! Scally and I went on a little adventure this morning at around 1am to the local grocery store to pick up a few things we were low on, and couldn't get until payday (which was at midnight, thanks to direct deposit ::) ), and there was already 2-3 inches on the ground, with 8-10 inch drifts. It's now 3-5 inches on the ground, with 2-5 ft drifts, but the wind is blowing so hard that it's having a hard time accumulating. Very day, powdery snow, though, and no layer of ice underneath, so the roads are actually not too bad. We're safe and warm here, and I hope everyone down there is, also!
Somewhat typical winter day here in God's country (Iowa) :) - snow, cold, wind, can't see sh*t, let's go for a drive :D

Hah, yeah, not here in this region. 4-8 inches of snow, and 2-4 inches of ice on the roads.
North Texas isn't made for this.
Day 2 of pretty much all the area schools shut down. UNT on Day 2 of campus being closed also.
Stay warm, friends!
I have to say, for once I am in the little belt of sunshine...and I am glad the snow and cold missed us this time in Eastern NC......Will be in the low 70's today..... Hope all of you in the Blizzard warm up soon
Snow stopped yesterday and I cleared the steps 23 of them to be exact lol. hauled wood up for more heat and took a yardstick down to see what things looked like. 10 and 1/2 inches in flat spot with a nice 2 foot drift by the truck. Not fair Rani we got ice up here in my corner not much but still yet not even fair. Might dig out the truck today so it is ready to roll as needed. Doing good here have coffee & Baileys coke & Rum Cigs and Tater Soup plus plenty of wood for heating.
It's coming, Lairde Guardn...it's coming.
Rabbi, you're welcome to come to Maumelle where it's a balmy 21 at the moment—today's warming up nicely!
It's still a little chilly for a faire, but I love the cold...hate the hot. I've never been able to figure out why I've stayed in Arkansas. I think I'd be happier in Colorado.
El Paso is closed, Fort Bliss is closed. I have the day off, now what do I do?
it is minus 5 at 0700 hours today but fort hood is open
Bliss are weenies

We almost always get the ice first, and usually it's JUST the ice, breaking every tree in the state, downing power lines and usually killing several people in the process, so this has been a real blessing. In fact, I can't remember the last time it snowed here
without laying a thick sheet of ice down first! It's been awesome to play in, although it's all powder, and won't even make a snowball, much less a snowman! It's hovering around 5 degrees outside, with a windchill of -11...

Merlin, maybe you and Nim need to move up to the mountains with Scally and me, when we go!
I'm fine...tho Elo knows that! lol...our third roomie is having to commute to work in this! :( luckily, UNT is closed thursday as well for us...nearly a whole week off school! The power outages better stop so I can get bunches of sewing done! :D
Rolling black outs FTL! Blah!
Going on Day 3 of the campus being closed. I would be thankful but I have several deadlines that I am going to have issues getting done as materials/resources are on campus. Let's hope my Prof's are feeling forgiving...

You don't know how tempting that is.
It was 21 degrees in Elgin this AM. I hate cold weather. Chances of snow later this week. Meow Manor is cold but I am OK.
You are going to have things ready for us in a couple of weeks, aren't you? This is your territory to protect, My Queen!

that is what is great with todays techno gadgets Telecommute!
Got it bad here in Ardmore, about 1/2 inch ice, then 3 inches sleet then 4 inches snow and so cold I saw two jackrabbits trying to jump-start a squirrel! Relieved that UNT is closed as I have to drive down twice per week for classes, never would' ve made it. Bring on spring, bring one Faire season!

And they have both Universities AND hospitals there! ;D
You folks down south got it worse than we did in upstate NY.
The news scared all the schools into closing and we only got 3"
and no ice.
My sweet, loving little (brat!) baby PELTED me with chunks of snow! Not cute little kid snowballs, because the snow is too powdery for that... noooo, these were the large crusty things that break off the tops of the drifts, and HURT!!!
So I, being the kind, understanding, self-controlled grown-up that I am... pushed her down in the stuff and rolled her in it until she looked like a powdered sugar doughnut!!! :D I TOLD her to tuck her shirt into her pants... and her pants into her socks! It's not MY fault she doesn't listen... LOLOL
I would almost say thats cruel lol but I would have done the same thing. Glad you two are enjoying this stuff it hurts my old broken bones too much but I did play in it long enough to get the truck dug out.

Goodness gracious, Ryk! You commute from Ardmore for class? WOW!
Caught word early today that UNT is closed for Day #3.
I'm actually kind of ready for classes to start back up. This missing a lot of classes is gonna make everything wonky!
We're on Snow Day #3 of no school. While I'm enjoying the time to get stuff done around the house (I've never been this caught up on laundry!) I'm dreading all the days we're going to have to make up. Especially since its suppose to SNOW very early Friday AM which might mean 4 straight bad weather days. I'm hoping we might get waivers so we don't have to make up these days.
The good thing is that we're fine, we're warm & we have food. A bit low on milk but other than that we can last through Sunday or Monday no problem.

Wasn't my call and they called off work tomorrow as well. I'm from Iowa it ain't got bad in Texas anywhere yet.
Being rigged to telecommute has its drawbacks...when everyone else is getting a snow day, I've got no excuse not to work. But I usually argue to recapture that free day elsewhere. Seems to me, it's only faire ;)
Well we were iced in for two days but now are back online. If we had known the streets were so bad we would have stayed home another day. Granted we were getting alittle stir crazy. And what was nice was we were running low on bread but yay we had a bread machine and all the fixing to make bread. There was something nice about a pot roast cooking away in the crock pot, and fresh bread baking away to make a snow day just a little bit better.
I certainly hope that there's none of this nonsense going on in two weeks...
It would make for a very intresting opening to Sherwood to say the least. And the camper would need to be right cozy. It was bad enough at TRF this past fall when it was 33 degrees! Now it is getting down to 19 or less at night.
I was hoping to be able to stay home today, but alas the boss was adamant that everyone come in today. A co-worker lives nearby, and is originally from PA, and better at driving in these conditions, so he picked me up at the bottom of the hill I live on. even pulling my car out of the driveway, I suspect would have resulted in a pitiful little slide right down the inch and a half thick sheet of ice that covers from just above our driveway to about halfway through the intersection where it's cleared from the wee bit of traffic that's gone across it.
Later today one of the bosses is taking me to the grocery store to pick up a few things and refill our 2 propane tanks that I toted down the hill with me on the way out this morning, so we'll have heat tonight and tomorrow at home.
Oiy, this crap is ridiculous.
Watched one of my old co-workers get her Jeep caught up on a curb when I went out earlier.
I made it home okay but I'm not leaving now, even though I need some art supplies.
School is closed for Friday.
I'm not a fan of this. No school, work, or capability for socializing; and no art supplies for projects makes for an incredibly cranky Meg.
The roads are not bad here, just a bit slushy in places, with mostly hard packed snow, and a little rutted ice... so why is everyone STILL driving like they're riding in bumper cars?!? I'm in a mini-van, for cripes sake, and I'm not having any problems, so why are all these people in their huge 4x4 SUV's fishtailing like they're swimming in the ocean?!?
Oh, and that whole "no price gouging during an emergency", thing? Obviously doesn't apply here... >:(
Oh yeah... and school is out again tomorrow. At this rate they might as well just start year-round classes. ::)

Lots of folks do seem to think it at least exempts them from using even rudimentary common sense, or any type of caution at all...
Here in Nocona, TX, we got pretty much what Ryk and Jezz got in Ardmore. A nice layer of ice, then sleet, and then the winter parfait was topped off with several inches of snow. We drove a couple of blocks to the local grocery store today, and it was still an icy mess on the roads. Our office has been closed since Tuesday, and since schools in Wichita Falls are closed tomorrow, we will be, too. I've been online looking longingly at garb...
no ice no snow yet, just cold has h---
oh and the rolling black outs,,
tracking the new smart meter electric read out on line how the heck did i use that much electricity and I am not home 12 hours a day?????
Ok it is offical!
We stayed in texas due to the great climate ( no trees but great temperure range)
I was born a yankke, I stayed in the south transplanted texan ok yankess left their dam door open it is snowing here shiner bock
oh well I am not going to work tomorrow these fools do not know how to drive in this shiner bock,
warming the tea pot and getting shcnaps out
ah.......
Way to adapt...
Brrrr! Cold. Spring/Summer and Faire now please.
That is all... :(

I agree! :) We actually got a light dusting of snow here in Magnolia. The novelty has worn off for me already lol. Tropics anyone? :P
We got more snow here in Denton...its all fluffy and pretty so we played in it for a bit...campus will be closed saturday as well...and its supposedly going to snow again on Wednesday of next week...I hope it dies down enough that I can make it to Flogging Molly in Dallas on tuesday...I've already got tickets...
I have gotten some bad news tho. Apparently UNT has lost 5 students to the roads. Lets pray we don't lose anymore...,
Fortunately, this morning the boss looked at the 3 inches of snow that fell overnight, and combined with what was still falling, decided that he didn't want to drive 30 miles to the very hilly area when one employee lives to pick her up in his big 4x4 truck again, and declared the office closed for today AND the rest of the weekend (he originally told us Tuesday to plan to work tomorrow).
I just wish he'd taken video of her trying to get into his truck, which has a lift kit on it so the mud & ice covered running boards are about 3.5 feet off the ground, and she's only 4'10"!
it's melting it's melting my pretty

Yep Elo, I was living near Decatur and moved to Ardmore this last summer. It's not a terrible drive - a short hour, and this is my final semester. I have f2f classes on Tuesday and Wednesday and two online. All my others had been online until this semester. Apparently the state of Texas wants you to take Govt. and Humanities in person!But, I will have that Diploma this May!! I'm kinda ready to get back to class too, and back to normal and back to Faire!!! UNT is closed thru Saturday! They say its the longest ever weather related closing and I heard that some students had been in fatal accidents, hope it's not true. Here's to this stuff clearing up! It snowed all day in Ardmore, we got about 5 inches today (Friday) of fluffy snow.
all the snow is melted and roads are clear and it is 29 degrees at pm the heat is on da da da
We're currently getting more snow... and it's been going on all day. Not much more accumulation yet, but we weren't supposed to get any more until next Tuesday!
I think we ended up with just about 3 or 4 inches. The streets were pretty much clear until that last inch fell. I think now they're talking about more tomorrow and Monday. I'm going to need to get to the office this weekend if possible for one thing, then I can telecommute the rest of the time.
It's nice out today, and the streets are melting. Clear blue skies, and not a cloud in sight... Of course, that means we'll have icy roads tonight! :o
We'll see if we get more on Monday/Tuesday, though.
We have some things at work that HAVE to get out Monday. I'm looking at possible snow again, so I'm going to go in on Sunday and get things set up. Then if I can't make the commute on Monday, the processes can be run remotely. This has been an odd winter so far.
Today was reminiscent of the time we lived in Chicago. When it reaches 32 degrees, after a few days if 8 degrees and the occassional 40 mph wind, it's actually quite comfy outside with jeans and a t-shirt! Sidekick lectured me on the importance of a jacket. :P
sunny and 66 degrees loving it
More cold & snow looming.
Here it comes,...
Oh the joys of Winter in North Texas. ;D
If it weren't for the fact that I telecommute on Wednesdays anyway, I'd be excited about the 6 inches we're supposed to get in the morning. The bad thing is, Nim will have to stay at the hospital tomorrow night...essential personnel. I hate sleeping alone...
BOHECA, more of the white stuff from the heavens will soon be up on the ground. Looks like some time Wensday afternoon East Arkansas will get it, they say 2-6 inches, We'll see. And of course it will all start just as I'm coming to work, which means I will be stuck here cause everybody else is going to call in sick. Think I will pack a little extera in my duty bag for work.
ok temperture dropping and the freezing rain is starting, so tomorrow will be roller skating with the car, glad i dug out the cable chains
Everybody ready for round two?
:D
always the ribber thanks rani
"Clang" Round two bell, it's on
Well, I made a batch of my chicken-rice soup the other day...still have some of it, but I can always make a batch of my beef & barley. I'm about to get several of my soups dialed in to near perfect...
I won't have my main squeeze, so Abbe will have to keep me warm tomorrow night. She's so sweet and affectionate! She'll enjoy the snow big time tomorrow! She tries to eat it all... Abbe is my smaller dog. She's only about 100 pounds...
Merlin, it might turn out to be more than a one dog night... ;)
I've got fixin's for my chicken noodle soup and my hamburger stew, plus a 15 bean soup I can put on, as well.
AccuWeather.com says it's 15*F here with a -3*F wind chill, and when I took out the garbage just now (without my coat, because of course I though... it's only 30 ft... ::) ) it certainly FELT like it!!!
Quote from: Rani Zemirah on February 08, 2011, 08:14:50 PM

In that case, I'll have to snuggle with Denali, too. He's my Malamute. If I were to hook him and Abbe, my Akita, up to a sled, I could be in OKC in a couple of hours (if the snow gets that thick), to join you for some of
your soup! Denali probably knows the way... He was a rescue that was found wandering and slightly injured near Tinker AFB in `04.
Awww... how sweet! I bet they'd really like my soup! Let me know if you're headed this way, and I'll make sure to put on an EXTRA big pot! :D
Scally has decided lately that she wants a Husky when we move to Colorado, because she wants to train it to pull. Might have to take a road trip back up to Alaska in a year or two and introduce her to Susan Butcher...
Sand storm out here, thought I was back in Iraq until I realized it wasn't red sand. That's nice, mud showers tomorrow.
We had a Husky before we got Denali. When Lady Avatar died, it broke our hearts. She was such a sweet animal. We had her for about 14 years.
One thing about Huskies is they tend to be on the hyperactive side, according to my vet, and my experience with this one. Malamutes are like super-sized Huskies, but tend to be very gentle, and not as hyper. Denali picked up a baby bunny he found at the dog park and handed it to Nim. The bunny was about half the size of your computer mouse. Didn't hurt the bunny at all.
The sled Huskies are not known for being friendly, gregarious animals, but the pet Huskies are good if they're dealt with early. Avatar never EVER barked at any other dog, or anyone...except me, and only because we were playing. She'd be on the other side of the fence from a neighbor's dog that was barking it's head off, and she would just stand there looking thru the fence with a "WTF are you barking at?" look. I've never seen a dog that didn't bark. She did, however, have a way of staring at you that would completely unnerve you.
It's still in the upper 40s here west of Fort Worth, I am not looking forward to the ice that is predicted. Brought some work home, just in case it's bad enough that the boss tells us to stay home. If not, well, there's a co-worker who lives nearby and is originally from PA, and therefore more experienced driving on slick roads and is willing to pick me up.
Looking at the weather map, Raevyncait, the temperature differential is crazy. It's 17 in OKC and 51 in Dallas, only 200 miles away.
We aren't expecting ice in central Arkansas, but they are calling for 4-5 inches of snow...a little less than earlier expected. As long as it starts AFTER 5:00 am Wednesday, we'll be reasonably okay here. Nim will leave for work at 5, and I'm telecommuting.
If they close campus, I'll be able to claim comp time that I'll use to go to faire, so I hope it snows like a ... never mind!
Still doing nothing here, although it was predicted to start around 6-7... who knows, maybe this one has them all fooled this time. :P
Memphis, is like freeking out right now, there calling for 1-3 inchs and theres like mad rush to wal mart for everything, saw that one on the news. Good thing there going now, because they can't drive even when the weather is nice.
Ok, the snow is finally here... but school was cancelled before the first flake even fell! LOL
Hamburger stew tomorrow, for lunch AND dinner! :D Mmmmm...

Memphis is my Home Town! Born and raised in Frasier! Frayser Blvd at North Watkins! Frayser High School graduate!
Thing is, they drive the same here in Dallas, Texas!
Memphis drivers were about as crazy as drivers could be back in the early 70s. I went to college in Memphis. In the two years I stayed there, it snowed only one time, and there was no trace of it remaining by 10 a.m. One of my suite-mates was from Mexico City. He'd never seen snow before, except on a mountaintop in the distance. He was running around like a crazy man!
Around here, you show someone a picture of snow and they'll slide into the ditch.
Waiting for the snow...know it's coming...they've already closed campus. Nim's about to leave for work. I won't see her for a couple of days :'(
Merlin, at least you can talk to her on the phone... Not the same, I know, but better than no contact at all, right?
Everything is winter white around here, now, but it looks like it's stopped. The sun is trying to break through the clouds, but it's not expected to warm things up at all... still supposed to stay in the teens all day, with -2 by morning. Glad I don't have to be out in it!!!
I think every district in the area closed today. The western outlying areas (weatherford, santo, gordon, granbury) didn't get a lot of precipitation that actually stuck around long enough for the temperature to drop and freeze it in place, so my drive to work this morning was pretty much a piece of cake, and I expect the same going home and in the morning. That being said, 7 DEGREES is TOO COLD for me! There is a reason I don't live north of the Red River. I DON'T LIKE COLD for days and days! I'm ok with the occasional freezing day or 2, but days on end drives me NUTS...
I see blue sky... and sunshine!
It's tapering off...looking at the radar, it should be ending here soon. It's a decent snow for these parts...looks to be close to 6 inches. Time to put on the crampons and take Denali for a walk. I live on a very steep hill...the crampons are necessary so that I don't break my freakin' neck.
Nim and I are normally in touch via IM, Rani, but that's not conducive to snuggling and playing smacky-face.
well for February 9 I did get about 3 inches, of which the bottom most layer is sleet.
Of course it's not, Merlin, but it's better than homing pigeon! ;)
DonaC, I hope you and the Don are not having to drive it that!!! If so, then be careful, and try to stay warm!
Well, it's all most 9 p.m. and were still getting snow, we got about 7 inches on the ground now here in Forrest City Arkansas. And it is some kind of cold out side.
I'm just glad I'm not in NW Ark...some spots up there got 25 inches. I don't remember that much snow in a single snowfall around here before. Maumelle/Little Rock area has 6+, and I'm not sure what Conway got (where i work), but still snowing some here in Maumelle and in Conway. The campus is closed for tomorrow, too. Certainly nothing moving around here! The dogs are sure loving it!
On the radio here in Houston this morning, they were saying that areas of Oklahoma and Arkansas had received more than 24" of snow.
Rani, are you part of the movement they mentioned ... to change the state's name to Snowklahoma? ;) ;D
Take Care,
David Baldock
According to news reports I saw last night, OKC got about the same as what we got in central Arkansas...between 5-6. The huge amounts of snow were in the extreme NW part of Arkansas, which is mostly upper elevation in the Boston and Ozark mountains.
Not me... although I got a bit of a kick out of Gary England calling the first storm to hit... Snowpocalypse... :D We didn't get as much this time as we did in the first round, though. Only about 3 inches or so here at our place, I think. I know the northern parts of the state were hit really hard, though.
Of course, next week it's supposed to be in the 70's, and this will all just be another weather story... but this will be really good for the land.
Since I grew up in Little Rock, I have friends who still live in Arkansas. One of them posted a link to this video today:
YouTube - Crazy Arkansas Redneck Doin' Donuts In Th' Snow ! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKN32xfhLlo)
Take Care,
David Baldock
Somehow, I knew that was coming... :D Shipley's or Krispy Kreme?
Better then that Daylight Donuts
I know most people aren't going to like to hear this but the old farmers almanac is calling for a nother bad round of this at the end of the month, get ready.
As long as it waits until we return from Sherwood, I don't mind!
let me share with you a little story of donuts and arkansas. in the late 70's I was managing a pizza hut in wynne arkansas, just across the street was wal-mart. it had been snowing for several hours and had about 3 to 4 inches of snow on the ground, around 2 am I noticed headlights going around and around in the wal-mart parking lot. there were no other cars around and none parked on the wal-mart parking lot so this guy was just having the time of his life. after a few minutes and many circles later I guess he got a little over confident and lost his bearings, came out his last loop and found the only light pole in the middle of the parking lot. that car sure looked funny sitting there with both of it's headlight looking at each other from around the pole.
DragonSlayer, what's your 20? You still an Arkie?
no, live in dallas, been here since 1980
If you come to opening weekend, make yourself known... the photo is accurate...
I will be there every day, I work at the dungeon. I wear the red and black skeleton armor, don't have much time to get out and about but I'll be there at the castle if you want to stop by.
That's actually an attraction that I've never visited. I'll try to remember to come by...14 centuries wreaks havoc on one's memory...
Here's an interesting Snow Sculpture (http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/168073_150761521647368_106811962708991_310592_4639151_n.jpg) that was seen in the Hillcrest area of Little Rock, AR.
Ya, thats something that you would see up in Hillcrest! Not surprised, at all.
