Snow Next Week?

[easjer]

I don't mind the snow at all.

Blowing snow coupled with negative wind chills? Yeah, that sucks.

People who drive normally, 65-70 on the freeway while on their cell, when it's snowing? Yeah, they suck, too.

That is what is making me most nervous (and why I want work to close - though my boss just announced that if it hits 32 - it is 35 right now - she is sending us home) - people here drive crazy in pouring rain and don't know how to drive in snow/winter conditions.

it's funny how different people react to snow because of where they live. People who aren't used to it want it to snow, yet they normally live in that region where it doesn't because it doesn't snow regularly there. Like they wouldn't move North so they could see snow. Conversely, the people who normally choose to live in the areas where it snows hate snow. Like I hate snow, but I don't think I would ever move somewhere where it doesn't snow because I like all the seasons. Yet if it snows here today I'm pissed off. Like my girlfriend in college grew up in Miami and loved it when it snowed here and couldn't get enough of it. She moved to California a couple years ago because "It doesn't snow there"

I grew up in Michigan and always loved having a white Christmas, but the last one I got to have was in 1995 Now we have to move wherever the AF tells us to go, which so far has been San Antonio and southern California. Zero snow in both places.

That snow band coming in from the west just look weaker and weaker with each new frame from the radar. They just switched the New Braunfels radar to snow mode and its showing something just south of SA in Atascosa county though and that seems to be spreading up into South San Antonio (near the Police Academy - Palo Alto area) but who knows if thats really falling and hitting the ground.

You're like the Grinch, Manny - delivering bad news so close to Christmas.

It is in fact snowing right now.

Still melting on the ground, but they are saying on the weather that it will likely stick and to expect 1-3 inches in the city.

Crazy, no? I walked through the falling snow to get to my office. I wish they'd shut us down, but apparently not. A lot of schools are closing early; the worst is supposed to be here around noon.

Big, fat flakes. Even me, who didn't want it, is sort of enchanted by it.

You live in San Antonio?

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Didn't you try to brave that weather in a leather jacket, Manny?

I have to admit, I did laugh at that.

A lot.

[Jekka]

No snow here in MI, either. It's actually pretty disappointing.

I cut my grass this week. I don't remember ever having to cut my grass later than Halloween.

We had some snow in Ann Arbor last night - didn't stick, but we had a good hour of it. It's supposed to snow in Oklahoma while I'm there next week. Go figure.

[MannyIsGod]

Jess made me buy a real coat. I'm using it today as a matter of fact. I probably would have died had I only taken that leather jacket of mine. is perfect for San Antonio, not so much for that bull you call Winter up there.

[desflood]

Smart girl.

[MannyIsGod]

Des what side of town do you live on? I think its snowing on the south-east side right now. Depending on how bad you want to see it its jut a car ride away

[Jekka]

Imagine taking off from San Antonio where it was 60 degrees last January, flying to Denver where it was 70 degrees - then boarding another plane to Michigan where it was -10 degrees. I lost 80 ing degrees in 2 1/2 hours. It was brutal.

The first breath of that air that I took literally made me choke.

Yes, but the look of sheer shock on your face was pretty priceless.

[RGMCSE]

sucker mother er!!!!! I'm so jealous right now. If we had snow here, I was going to go to the closest golf course to play a round in the snow. A stogie, ed rum and my driver!

Jekka, I have to ask about your avatar - is that something that you actually saw? In certain parts of MI, that's actually somewhat common. Just go a little further north and it's a moose instead of a bison.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

I'm sure that was a Kodak moment.

Yeah... I think maybe even to see snow it's not worth going anywhere near the south side

[MannyIsGod]

Des, its a picture from her stay in Yellowstone. But to keep in the spirit of the thread I hiked a peak there in June (or maybe May - can't remember - probably the end of May) and I had to wade through 2 feet of snow.

I've seen more snow in the last year than I the rest of my life 10 fold.

Yup, I spent the summer interning at the Yellowstone Research Library, so bison jams were pretty frequent. It took FOREVER for me to see a freaking moose out there, and I was in the UP in late October and didn't see any moose up there either. Apparently I am moose repellent.

Has it hit Floresville?

[easjer]

You live in San Antonio?

Snow falling right now north of Del Rio and just west of Junction. Band is moving south east at a decent clip. If this makes it to SA then most of you will be happy.

On the coast its already raining so if you live near Mookie you might see a good amount of snow later today too. Easjer and Houstonians will make off the best I think though.

Nope.

[MannyIsGod]

Katy - maybe. Call your home and find out! The radar is really flaky for these things unless they're heavy because light snow barely shows up.

[katyon6th]

It's my mom's aerobics hour. No way she's going to answer the phone right now.

[Soul_Patch]

Looks like we are stuck in the middle of the dry area.

raining/snowing south east and north west of us...

[spurs_2108]

Friend say they see flurries in Floresville.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Freezing rain? I'm sure that's a pleasure to navigate in TX.

[katyon6th]

Yeah, spurs_2108, just got off the phone with my mom. Flurries galore in Floresville!

Definetly snowing in places that map doesn't show. Thats the problem with most of the regular radar products.
