Looks like I have a shot of the worst of that going just south of me, maybe.
Yes, primary is today.

I'm in Memphis in a little guest house built in the 1930's... I'm battening down the hatches!

It's been skirting around us all day, but the big red blob just appeared on the radar to our west, and the trash cans started blowing across the yard.
It is primary day in Arkansas, and I put off going too long. Now I'll have to wait til this little line passes.

Ohh Karen STAY SAFE!
I think that storm system is the same one that came through Phoenix yesterday. It was a bugger. Moved fast, but very cold air mass!
I was attempting to ride in it! - OY!
I could see problems when it hit a warmer air mass! YIPES!
We even had snow on the hills in the north valley.

And it begins...
That storm finally started up here. We're looking at 7-11" of snow tonight and then another 4-8" tomorrow. Some reports are saying 20" total might be a sure bet. Thunder and winds of 33-37.
Sob....and I read an article this morning that says this storm pattern we've been in for the last couple of weeks is going to continue...
I feel for y'all on the southern path, but, I'll trade you your rain for my snow...of course, I'm not sure my basement will tolerate the rain anymore than my roof loves all that snow up there. It is a no win...just gotta accept it....a persistent upper air flow has been carrying low-pressure systems from the upper Pacific Coast south to Colorado, Texas and New Mexico. The storm systems have gathered moisture from the Gulf of Mexico, then tracked north and east, right into a sweet spot over northern Illinois. . . And looking ahead for a week or two, the professor sees almost an endless supply of those systems...Last edited by Thorn; 02-05-2008 at 01:17 PM.

Been VERY windy all day here in the Big Easy. Feels like there's now a chill in the air. Was in the low 80's F today, supposed to be 20 degrees or so cooler tomorrow. Thunderstorms tonight - just in time to chase the Mardi Gras revelers in around midnight (much to the delight of NOPD)
