SNOW IN TEXAS!!!

i have to amend my previous remarks...

After reviewing several observational datasets, the NWS can confirm the flash and boom was NOT thunder or lightning, but instead a likely meteor. We continue to monitor feeds from astronomical agencies for official confirmation of a meteor. #miwx

Supposed to go to 14 degrees tonight, freeze all the roads and be dangerous tomorrow. On the news tonight was a clip of Interstate 20 between Canton and Lindale-a solid line of 18 wheelers with a few unlucky cars thrown in-that can't go anywhere because of the ice on the road. TX-DOT was trying to sand the Interstate so the trucks could move.

Schools closed again tomorrow.

@Carol Dee Texas knows how to throw a SNOW PARTY! Snow, cover everything up, ice all over and we all go out to PLAY! The stupid ones go have wrecks and boost the body shops business. Then, before we are REAL sick and tired of it all, it melts and goes away. Gonna be 65 degrees on Saturday.

this storm has been a hard hitting one in the south, be safe...

@canesisters surely you are not at work this morning?

 

[canesisters]

Yep.
We're supposed to be closing around 10:00 ... but I'm listening to the guys on the radio and we have a truck stuck in the back right now and they can't figure out how they're going to drag him back onto the road...
I can't leave until he scales out...
