What Say You Weather Manny

[Kori Ellis]

So Manny, by your rainbow drawings, it will not be snowing at 6am? But it probably will be at 6pm? What about in between? When should I sleep? I don't want to miss it :dizzy

[timvp]

We weren't here. We were at All-Star weekend.

I also wasn't in town during the 1985 "snow". I've never seen snow in San Antonio.

And never will.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

I also wasn't in town during the 1985 "snow". I've never seen snow in San Antonio.

And never will.I WAS SICK AS PISS AND MY PARENTS WOULDN'T LET ME OUT THAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DAMN YOU MOM AND DAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! just kidding about the whole damning part, BUT I WAS SICK AS PISS AND MY PARENTS WOULDN'T LET ME OUT THAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MannyIsGod]

6pm tomorrow is more likely. The next model runs will be out within an hour I believe, so I'll check then.

Its just a model prediction, so we'll see. But I do think we'll see snow in parts of the city.

[MannyIsGod]

I have pictures of me making snowmen during the 1985 snow.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

I have pictures of me making snowmen during the 1985 snow.BASTARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[midgetonadonkey]

I want to make a snowman.

[Das Texan]

i should go dig up the plans for the snowball war on the southeast side of san antonio.

[midgetonadonkey]

i should go dig up the plans for the snowball war on the southeast side of san antonio.

I am so fucking there if you do.

[MannyIsGod]

The latest run of the NAM brings snow in later today as early as noon. Its just the latest model run, but take it for what its worth.

[midgetonadonkey]

Is it a shit load of snow where it will gather on the ground or will it melt as soon as it hits the ground?

[MannyIsGod]

I doubt anything will melt that hits the ground, but it says about .25-.50 inches of rain, which would translate into 2-5 inches of snow.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

I doubt anything will melt that hits the ground, but it says about .25-.50 inches of rain, which would translate into 2-5 inches of snow.

2-5"!

This city will need the National Guard once tomorrow's over.

[MannyIsGod]

Jess and I just went out to our corner store and the ice coverage isn't that impressive here. All of the trees and plants have it, as well as the signs and what not, but anything attatched to a heated building is still fine as are the roads.

However, the roads looked like they might be starting to ice over themselves.

[timvp]

I gotta go outside and fix a hole in the fence right now. :depressed

I'll give the updated weather report when I get back in. If I'm not back by 4:45, call 911.

Thanks.

[Porno Shakespeare]

Its snowing here

[Kori Ellis]

Its snowing here
Where is here?

[Porno Shakespeare]

nevermind.

its just rain mixed with the smoke from the fire.

put it out.

[Kori Ellis]

nevermind.

its just rain mixed with the smoke from the fire.

put it out.

I was relying on the rain to put it out.

[Porno Shakespeare]

When JBL is done fixing your hole, tell him to start on the fire.

[MannyIsGod]

.discussion...
Thickness Values At Their Lowest Today And Tonight, Reaching 546
Over The Northern Most Counties. Since 540 Thickness Does Not
Enter Our Area, Removed Mention Of Snow But Left Sleet. Upper
Heights Rise Thursday And Friday While The Massive Surface High
Shifts East. A Dry Wedge In The Mid And Upper Levels Will Move
Into The Area Thursday And Friday. But Another Digging Trough In
The Northern Stream Flow Will Increase Southerly Overrunning Winds
With Drizzle And Light Rain Hanging Over The Area. The Atmosphere
Remains Unstable Aloft With A Chance Of Rain Continuing. We May
See Some Drying By Tuesday Next Week When The Upper Troughs Phase
And Slide Across Texas.

In The Meantime, Temps Remain Well Below Normal Through Saturday, With
Freezing Rain Ending By Wednesday Noon. A Slow Warming Trend Will
Raise Max Temps To The 50s And 60s Over The Weekend.

[MannyIsGod]

Thats a pretty worthless discussion. The forcaster doesn't believe the cold air will be high enough in the atmosphere to cause snow, but thats basically all he says.

Anyhow, precip seems to be moving back into town right now, so it'll start getting even nastier soon.

[timvp]

I gotta go outside and fix a hole in the fence right now. :depressed

I'll give the updated weather report when I get back in. If I'm not back by 4:45, call 911.

Thanks.

Wasn't that bad. No wind, so that helped. Things are frozen out there but the ice on our car looks like it's melting.

Is it still supposed to be < 32 degrees?

[MannyIsGod]

Its below 32. Did it rain at all while you were out there? The radar is picking up rain moving back into your area. But the 2 weather stations closest to you are still well under freezing at 28 and 29 so I doubt it is melting at your place.

[timvp]

Its below 32. Did it rain at all while you were out there?

Not raining yet.

[Kori Ellis]

The rain is just starting up here again I think.

Here's some ice pictures.

[MannyIsGod]

Fuck it, I'm going to sleep. The next model run comes out at about 7:30, but theres no way I'm staying up for that. Those of you that have to work will probably have to go in considering that the rain is staying just to the NW. The NWS seems pretty convinced the airmass is too shallow for snow, but we'll see.

[Kori Ellis]

Fuck it, I'm going to sleep.

I'll call you when it starts snow here :drunk

[MannyIsGod]

lol

[ObiwanGinobili]

Well Emo got off work at 3:30 am.... didn't make it home untill 5:30.
He said it's pretty bad out there mostly because you can;t be sure whats ice and whats not.


Also - all of our stirs are covered with ice. How am i gogin to carry 2 kids down 3 flights of icey steps in an hour to go to the Dr.s?
And the Dr is in Stone Oak...

any roads in/near/to Stoen Oak closed??

[Das Texan]

wow what a nice surprise.


281 has huge portions shut down.

35 is closed from san marcus to austin.


no drive to fort worth today as a result.

*pumps fist*

all this ice outside, the ground is dryer now then when i went to bed last night and my car has ice all over the truck and the rest of my car is dry as can be.

awesome! southside again getting fucked!

[TDMVPDPOY]

you guys must be enjoyin the cold weather over there, since you get snow = melts = water :D

unlike down here, fuckn hot weather for the last couple of days and we are in the summer season, and power blackouts, and stupid water restrictions :(

ya there is no water of any form where i'm at right now.


not liquid, not solid, not nothing.


fuck this winter storm! but thanks for closing the roads around me

:fro

[Spurfect]

so this morning I go out to check weather conditions and my car. as I'm walking up the driveway, right when I get to the top I slip and fall right on my ass. Didn't see that one coming! I make it to my car (i have to move it in case I can't go to work, because it's in the mailman's "way")..anyway I make it to my car to move it, and I can't open the door. it's pretty much all encased in ice (the whole car). I try for a while but nothing.. so my dad (who almost fell as well but I warned him about the "danger zone") goes out there with a knife and eventually gets it open. I couldn't see ANYTHING through the windshield and I couldn't turn the wipers on or even lower the window to look out so I pretty much had to drive into the driveway with my driver's side door open so I could peek out and make sure I got in and didn't hit any of the other cars.
now THAT is TEXAS weather! :lol :lol

[Das Texan]

fuck the mailman.

he can go around.

[Shelly]

I lost my cable AND internet last night.

It was tragic.

[katyon6th]

Apparently people in other states who are prepared for shit like this have ice picks? What the hell? No one told me.

[Spurfect]

fuck the mailman.

he can go around.

our mailman is a douche. if I have my car there he'll leave a note in the mailbox saying he won't deliver the mail if there is a car parked out there. it makes no sense because ALL he has to do is GO AROUND it's not a big deal! :cuss

[TDMVPDPOY]

are u goin to surprise the mailman? :D

[Das Texan]

you should send a letter to his boss.

some of these fucking mailmen are the laziest fucks on the planet.

[CubanMustGo]

OK. To help prevent slipping on ice you can sprinkle table salt on concrete and other surfaces. That will essentially lower the freezing point (salt water has a lower freezing point than pure water). May not work if you have 1" of ice already but should help on things like steps and the like. It'll take a little while. There are commercial products which will do a better job but I doubt anyone down there has them :lol

Re your car: after you get your door open (!) you can start the engine, turn the defrosters on full heat and let the car warm up for 15 minutes or so. Eventually, once the engine gets nice and warm the ice on your windshield will start to melt from the underside and you can take your ice scraper or some equivalent and easily clear the mess off. Since you won't be able to use your wipers it's not a bad idea to towel dry the windshield after you get all the crap off of it. If you have rear window defoggers, turn them on too and eventually they will do the same thing for your rear window. :

[Shelly]

I just walked to the mailbox. I survived.

It's cool to see l'il icicles everywhere.

[Spurfect]

you should send a letter to his boss.

some of these fucking mailmen are the laziest fucks on the planet.

I thought of that.
my dad is the one that bugs me about moving my car. I told him that our mailman is so freakin lazy that he probably won't come around today cause of the weather (they'll find any excuse)
He doesn't think so, so I had to move it.
ok whatever... I do need to find his boss though. I have always thought that it is B.S. we have 4 cars here and always have to play musical cars to make sure there is not a car on the outside in the mailmans way
:rolleyes

Well, sometimes. It's really just an educated guess. For example, Del Rio is reporting light freezing rain and Austin and Waco are reporting nothing at this moment in time.

That's the key Accuweather gave.

Hey TIMVP! When you post your snow picture, make sure you're wearing sandles! Weren't you wearing sandles in the snow in CO?

My internet connection keeps going down. Stupid TW

[Horry For 3!]

I say, ice is bad.


I didn't know it froze over outside. I was checkin outside to see if I could make it to work, busted my ass on my sidewalk, like 8 feet away from my apartment door.

Yup, I called in, no way I am goin to be in that shit if I can't even make it past my sidewalk.

[Das Texan]

i wonder how i could get to castroville from the southeast side of town with 90 closed.


interesting.

[Horry For 3!]

P.S. It is horrible in San Marcos

[Das Texan]

P.S. It is horrible in San Marcos



35 is supposedly closed there.

[Horry For 3!]

35 is supposedly closed there.
It wouldn't surprise me. We have some thick ice over here. I don't even think I would be able to get my truck door open if I could even make it there :lol

[ObiwanGinobili]

I lost my cable AND internet last night.

It was tragic.

my prayers were with you in your hour of need.

[ObiwanGinobili]

Apparently people in other states who are prepared for shit like this have ice picks? What the hell? No one told me.

I remeber growing up we had ice picks, salt, sand, and these ice shaver things that looked like a large spatula attached toa warm fur lined glove that you used to knock the ice off your windshield.
My dad kept all that in the trunk of the car incase ir froze over while we were out someplace, and he kept the same kit in the mudroom to the house.

Of course he also had those rubber and spike things you slip o nteh outside of your shoe, and the car had snow tires.




truthfully I don not miss out that bull shit.

[Shelly]

my prayers were with you in your hour of need.

:lol Thank you!

It's starting to rain or whatever again here.

[SpursWoman]

My kids won't quit bitching and whining. I think I might need a little prayer sent my way before the day is over. :spin

Were you w/o power or something it has been all over the news. Next time walk on the grass when it is icey. Its a little safer than the sidewalk.

[Shelly]

Freezing rain or sleet is falling pretty hard now

[Horry For 3!]

:lol

I don't watch the news. I didn't really expect everything to freeze over because when I went home last night at 12 from work, everything was alright.

[Shelly]

My kids won't quit bitching and whining. I think I might need a little prayer sent my way before the day is over. :spin

They're off from school! What more do they want? :lol

My oldest won't get up until noon. The youngest is already outside. I did have to make him change from his PJs.

[Shelly]

It's POURING ice!

[SpursWoman]

They're off from school! What more do they want? :lol

Their internet connection upstairs to quit fading out apparently ... I let them PPV a movie so hopefully they'll STFU for the next 1 1/2 hours or so. :dizzy

[01Snake]

Heavy downpour of ice pellets over here in Stone Oak.

Cars are trying to go up the street infront of our house and sliding back down. Classic! :lol

No, it's fun if it's you, too...as long as you don't hit anything. :nerd




There's freezing rain here now, too. (1604 & Lookout)

[1369]

Sleeting like a bitch here at Stone Oak.

No work today. I'll think I'll have a beer and make the little monkeys fetch me icicles.

[Slomo]

:lmao

You do realize we still have not had any snowfall this winter? While temperature between -2 and -10 Centigrade would be normal. we have like +15 Centigrade over the day. Same time last year we had almost half a meter of snow in and around the capital and a few meters in the mountains.

I don't blame it on global warming though - I blame on the fact that I've bought the most expensive and hard core winter tires ever, so we're guaranteed a snow and ice free winter. :flipoff

[KEDA]

we have had some accumulation here in Bulverde.

and there was no way in hell I was gong to drive from here ALL the way to Walzem and 35 today. Not even a little bit.

but I will go outside and take some pix and post them in a few minutes, its kind of cool to have everything covered in white!

[Shelly]

:lol @ Slomo and sorry!

Weather Channel is reporting light snow/ WTF?

[Shelly]

i think it's raining now?

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

-

its kind of cool to have everything covered in white!

Racist. :lol

[spurschick]

I got the call early this morning to come into work at noon. Now I'm wondering if I'm going to get another call.

[ObiwanGinobili]

My kids won't quit bitching and whining. I think I might need a little prayer sent my way before the day is over. :spin


oh I'm praying hard. your kids and mine included. They've been up since 6 and they need to STFU already. :lol Apparently Dora is a re-run :blah god forbid.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

I got the call not to come into tonight, but my guess (and I wasn't originally scheduled to work Thursday) is that every school in the area will re-schedule tonight's game for Thursday.

Yikes.

[ObiwanGinobili]

And I didn;t have to cancel the Dr. appointment - they called and canceled on me.
Jennifer (the kids dr.) called me form hom actually, she didn;t even go to the office. Man I like her. :spin

[KEDA]

my question is why is Shelly complaining about the cold? Shouldn't it be like it was a few weeks ago for her, you know, being locked in the freezer and all.

[Shelly]

Who's complaining? Last time I checked, I didn't look like Manny! :lol

I love this weather. However, I complain daily from May-October about the weather. The freezer was awesome!

[johnsmith]

This shit cracks me up. 13 pages dedicated to a winter storm.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

This shit cracks me up. 13 pages dedicated to a winter storm.

It's a little better if you change your setting to 40 posts per page (only nine pages then).

I was supposed to go in at noon then they updated it and told us to stay home the whole day!!!

My husband closed his office today and quite possibly tomorrow also. Since most of his patients are of the geriatric persuasion, they don't even show up if it's raining! So he beat them to the punch and cancelled everyone.

southeast.


and only about 5 miles or so total.

My son has called me three times in the past 45 minutes since I got to work.

"It's snowing in Kerrville!!!!"

"Can I take my skim board outside and slide across the grass?"

"I'm hungry. Can you order a pizza for delivery??"

[shelshor]

Up here in Austin, it's 29 degress, according to the thermometer on the porch and it's still about 90% sleet and 10% those nice big wet fluffy snow flakes

[01Snake]

Snowing in Austin per KSAT

[Kori Ellis]

I want some snow here. There's some good sleet happening, but let's see some snow!

He's only seen snow once, ever. That's when we went to Denver for AllStar 2005 (?). It will do him some good to be buried in the snow. After that maybe he won't keep our airconditioning on 63 all the time.

[Kori Ellis]

Did you take pictures of your icicle toes?

No, just the deck and chairs and stuff.

[SpursWoman]

:lol @ me. I just went outside in my robe with no shoes on to take pictures of the icicles.

I locked myself out of my house early yesterday morning with no shoes and just a thin t-shirt on. I had to run around through the freezing swamp that was my back yard to the front and ring the doorbell like crazy ... Chris was in the shower and my kids were still asleep upstairs. My feel are still numb. :oops


Did you get any good pictures? :lol

[01Snake]

Manny still asleep? :lol

Speaking of icicles, Caitlin just pulled one off of a neighbor's car that was about 8 inches long and about an inch in diameter. She put it in the freezer. :lmao

The sleet stopped again. It has been really on and off here.

[angel_luv]

It is so weird seeing all your pictures since I am stuck in the mall with no view of outside.
It feels like just a normal day except that people are calling every fifteen seconds to see if we're open. :pctoss

[PM5K]

I didn't know SC still had grass...

[Kori Ellis]

I didn't know SC still had grass...

She has some nice shrubbery. You should have gone down there and mowed her lawn when you had a chance.

[spurschick]

I didn't know SC still had grass...

I don't.

[Faccia di Angelo]

Those are some great pics. I tried taking some video of the rain coming down but its too cold to even have the door open! lol And my poor doggie still has to go outside to pee! I've been making her hold it for the past couple of hours.. oops

[tw05baller]

i havent had any sleet at all in schertz. just freezing rain. schertz always gets screwed.

[Jimcs50]

are the schools closed in SA too?

Tell them NO! And your boss should let you go home!

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

The sleet just started getting harder when I went to grab the mail.

[Jimcs50]

pussies!!!


I am at work....and I am not going home

[Jimcs50]

yes


Thankyou for answering so promply.

:)

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Damnit. Not only did I not know about this, but there was a lecture by Chuck D at Laurie Auditorium today/tonight, which is now postponed.

I would have taken off work to go see that.

[tw05baller]

WTF? as soon as i posted that, i heard a little tapping on the back door. i looked out the window and it was sleeting little pellets. :lol

[angel_luv]

Three more hours to go.

Angel is getting grumpy; I guess I need to try harder not to.

I can't believe that people are actually here wanting to shop. What could you need so badly that you come out on a day like this?

[exstatic]

WTF? as soon as i posted that, i heard a little tapping on the back door. i looked out the window and it was sleeting little pellets. :lol
Yeah, it took a while to drift out to us in the far, far NE.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Warm clothing would be my first guess.

[angel_luv]

Warm clothing would be my first guess.


:monkey

[MannyIsGod]

I woke up to sleet. The last model runs from about 7 this morning STILL predict snow. That it is sleeting this hard at 1pm makes me really want to believe that snow is coming. The next model runs come out soon, and the NWS should have a new discussion soon. I expect them to put the mention of snow back into the forcast.

The damn tempature hasn't gone up at all and has even dropped a bit here. Everything is now covered with ice. I'm going to go outside in a bit and take pictures. If I die, Joe can have my TV if Jess doesn't want it.

[MannyIsGod]

Oh, and if you're at work that just sucks. Things probably got much worse after I went to bed this morning consiering the temp continued to drop and the rain started up again. Just bad timing.

[Kori Ellis]

Oh, and if you're at work that just sucks. Things probably got much worse after I went to bed this morning consiering the temp continued to drop and the rain started up again. Just bad timing.

Yeah the temperature was 32/33 at 7am this morning. Now I think it's 29/30.

I woke up LJ to come see the ice/sleet but he said to let him sleep until it's actual snow :lol

[katyon6th]

Katy! :)

Where've you been ?

I've been around. :)

I stayed at my office for about 2 hrs, cancelled appointments and brought work home (ha!). Can you believe we actually had 2 people come in to interview today? That's determination.

And why is Steve Browne still on my TV?

[MannyIsGod]

Man, I love Steve Browne because of the way he explains everything. I already know most of what he explains, but I enjoy listening to him.

[spurschick]

My friend and her husband are here for the meteorologist convention and says that all they are excited as hell that this is happening while they're here (considering that SA doesn't usually get this kind of weather). She's just annoyed that she's pretty much socked in at the hotel and can't go out to see any of her friends while she's here.

We went to sleep at 8:30am, so I'm trying to let him sleep.

[katyon6th]

I drove pretty much between 35-55 mph to and fro work today and there were people driving at least 70 out there. Why are people so stupid?

Our sleet has changed back into rain, which is leaving water everywhere and is probably going to freeze over pretty bad.

[trueD]

Here's a pic of our bud lighter on our 10,000 gallon pool. It has been frozen over since last Friday morning, when the low temp dropped to around 20 degrees. Keep in mind, this is Sacramento!

why does it keep changing?

[SpursWoman]

It's regular-raining back over here, too. :fro

[MannyIsGod]

Pockets of warm/cold air. We're right on the boundry right now for sleet/freezing rain.

[Horry For 3!]

It is snowing in San Marcos now

[SpursWoman]

its been cold as fuck in this area the last few days what the fuck? and my sister calls me a week ago and tells me its like 70 degrees in NY.... what is the world coming to....

[Horry For 3!]

It was snowing pretty good for awhile but it slowed down though.

[MannyIsGod]

I think this main column of precipitation is moving south along the front endge of the deeper cold air. I think thats why its raining/sleeting harder on it because the shallower air leads to easier and better overunning and lift. Because the deeper air gets less overrunning, you don't see as much precip over it (although it doesn't take much precipitation to give you inches of snow).

The radar loop I just looked at covers 3 hours and its easing south. In another 3 hours at the present rate the layer will push past San Antonio starting from the NW. Shelly and Kori will probably see anything before I do.

[Jekka]

The damn tempature hasn't gone up at all and has even dropped a bit here. Everything is now covered with ice. I'm going to go outside in a bit and take pictures. If I die, Joe can have my TV if Jess doesn't want it.
Considering that using the universal remote alone is a challenge for me, I officially bequeath the TV unto Joe should anything happen to Manny.

[scott]

I'm walking over to the Flying Saucer now. Who is with me?

[MannyIsGod]

Nice. I knew it was snowing in Austin, Boerne and Del Rio but if its moving down to San Marcos then it is moving south. Looking good for San Antonio.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Considering that using the universal remote alone is a challenge for me, I officially bequeath the TV unto Joe should anything happen to Manny.

According to my attorney, these statements constitute a valid agreement.

[Slomo]

Yeah the temperature was 32/33 at 7am this morning. Now I think it's 29/30.

I woke up LJ to come see the ice/sleet but he said to let him sleep until it's actual snow :lol:lol

LJ is one cool guy!

Oh and now that I've seen the pictures:

Pussies!

Throw some salt and gravel on the floor and go to work! For stuff like that you don't even need winter tires!

You better show me more serious stuff in the next hours! I want to see the ground actually being white, not just to look like somebody dropped his shopping bag and the sugar got spilled...

If it makes you feel any better I was 2 hours late to work that day. Oh and if your building a house in my neighborhood, keep your driveway as short as possible. I wish someone would have given me that advice. :bang

[samikeyp]

BTW Christy, nice house!

[MannyIsGod]

Veronica, the longer you stay the worse roads will get.

[samikeyp]

Manny...is Jess back yet? Flying in could be an issue.

[tw05baller]

:depressed my sleet is gone again.

[katyon6th]

And the darker it'll get. Scary.

Go home now, Veronica.

[SpursWoman]

Go home now, Veronica.



:tu

[CubanMustGo]

Go home now, Veronica.

Yes! At least now you have a chance to see icy patches. Darkness not only means you can't see them, but the loss of what little daylight you have now means the bridges, overpasses, and roadways will freeze up even more (loss of radiational heating). Get home, girl!

[angel_luv]

Veronica, the longer you stay the worse roads will get.


Oh, that's true.
It should only be for an hour longer than I would have gotten off.
I don't get off till 3:30.


They don't want to bring in my release for just that and I live close.

I was joking with security that if it gets bad out there I am going to spend the night in Select Comfort. :lol

[Jekka]

Manny...is Jess back yet? Flying in could be an issue.
I got back from breezy 75 degree temps just in time :lol

[MannyIsGod]

Here's the problem. When we get these heavier showers, the liquid melts the existing ice a bit, but the moment the rain lets up it starts to refereeze. The kind of precip we're getting right now is flat out horrible and is going to make things really bad. If the temp right now is still at 30 degrees, theres no way its getting above 32 for any extended period of time. And if things melt a bit just to refreeze, then its worse than if the ice had just stayed put.

[MannyIsGod]

LOL, all of the transguide camera's are frozen.

[MannyIsGod]

As Slomo said, we are wusses when it comes to winter weather, but then again in Europe they die by the hundreds when the temps go into the upper 90s. :lol

[MannyIsGod]

Shelly and Kori, what is coming down at your place right now?

[angel_luv]

I am here till 5 pm. I just hope it is not dark or sleeting then.

[Slomo]

As Slomo said, we are wusses when it comes to winter weather, but then again in Europe they die by the hundreds when the temps go into the upper 90s. :lolShit, I forgot about that :lol

freezing rain

[MannyIsGod]

Its gonna get interesting right around 5 or so. Thats when the sun starts to really stop having an effect and by 7 I bet the freezing rain just ends and wet get nothing but sleet/snow the rest of the night.

[Shelly]

now it stopped and it's raining slightly.

and now back to freezing. I can tell by the sound it makes when it hits my windows.

[MannyIsGod]

Its starting to come down here. I think its rain though.

[01Snake]

I've got a noon flight tomorrow with a connection in Dallas. Will I be okay or am I looking at getting delayed? I think my biggest problem will be getting to the damn airport.

[Kori Ellis]

Just because it may be snowing at Kori's house, doesn't mean it will at mine!!!

:lol

That's right. If the rain history is an indicator, it will just snow at my house and the surrounding areas will be dry :lol

[trueD]

its been cold as fuck in this area the last few days what the fuck? and my sister calls me a week ago and tells me its like 70 degrees in NY.... what is the world coming to....It's scary! Now, if Sacramento could just cool down a little in the summer, all would be right in our world...

[trueD]

^^^ Sorry.

Back to S.A. snow news...

[tw05baller]

steve browne said a pocket of sleet is passing through bexar county right now.

[MannyIsGod]

Bulverde and Borne seem to be as far south as the snow has gotten so far. I think(hope) that'll change after sundown though.

[angel_luv]

If it snows I hope it waits till about 7pm tonight and stops in time for conditions to improve before the Spurs game tomorrow.

[Kori Ellis]

Bulverde and Borne seem to be as far south as the snow has gotten so far. I think(hope) that'll change after sundown though.

The temperature has dropped at my house a lot in the last two hours. Earlier I went out with a robe only and I was okay. Right now I went out with jeans and a sweater and I was freakin' dying.

It's a lot colder. But it's only freezing rain right now. No sleet for me.

Same here. All of the rooftops down the street are starting to freeze over.

[MannyIsGod]

My temp has come up about half a degree according to the personal weather station down the street. But I was explaining to Jess that after a rain shower comes through, some of the water evaporates which really cools down the air around so thats probably whats happening there.

[Kori Ellis]

Same here. All of the rooftops down the street are starting to freeze over.

Yeah it's ridiculous how cold it is now. I don't have a thermometer on the porch but I'm guessing something around 28.
