Although I don't post very often, I do read/lurk on a daily basis. Even though this event wasn't exactly what we thought it would be, early on...I really, really appreciate all the discussion. It's comforting to know that no matter the day, or time, I can get a pretty dang accurate forecast for our ...

We are getting a heck of a lot of pea-sized hail, lots of thunder and lightning.

I prefer my weather from the "all-knowing", here at KHOU. But for those unlucky peeps that don't know about this site, it might have been a good thing to go with something new! Maybe that will give the powers-that-be at "The Weather Channel" a hint to get back to the basics...

Well finally.....

Dish, the No. 3 U.S. pay-TV operator, plans to introduce a new station called The Weather Cast, a 24-hour weather service it described as "all weather, all the time" to replace the Weather Channel.

Maybe a side trip to Vegas, then?

That's the new plan! My brother claims any time I get West of San Antonio, I end up in Vegas. And, darn it, looks like it might just happen again!

That sounds good, wxman! Thanks so much for the help! We've pretty much decided to skip Sequoia...It's really just too "iffy" this time of year. We will be traveling with a Corvette and a new Camaro, in the bunch, so snow chains and such are really out of the question. I've read that posse...

Since it's so quiet in here, for the moment...I thought I'd see if anyone has any thoughts on the weather for the week of March 8-12. Our plan is to spend one night in Tombstone, AZ then to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon on Monday, March 8...then to Sequoia National Park on Tuesday. I know this i...

It continued to snow last night until around 11:00 pm. I was surprised! However, it stayed right at/just above freezing. Overall, I'd guestimate we received 3" of snow. This morning is quite stunning...bright sunshine and sparkling snow! I'm ready for spring, now...

Well, it's still snowing here. And we (my daughter and grandkids) did manage to eek out a snowman:

Still snowing pretty good, here. Keeping fingers crossed it will stay this way for awhile!

YAY! It's snowing BIG flakes in New Waverly! Now, if I can figure out how to post some pics...

We are trying so hard to plan a trip for March 5-12, to Tombstone, AZ then to South Rim of Grand Canyon, and finally to Sequoia Natl. Park. This crazy weather is driving me nuts! I've told the family (and we're talking LARGE group) that we will really just have to wait and see, as far as weather, fo...

Here's the scoop on Hawaii, according to the article: Weather geeks turned their eyes to Hawaii. In that tropical paradise, where a ski club strangely exists, observers were looking closely at the islands' mountain peaks to see if they could find a trace of white to make it a rare 50-for-50 states w...

I just read this article from the Associated Press. All I can say is "Wow!". And to think we might be in store for some more... :D There was snow on the ground in 49 states Friday. Hawaii was the holdout...More than two-thirds of the nation's land mass had snow on the ground when the day d...

Still a very cold rain here in far southern Walker County. I'll be up for awhile, and will report in if it does change to snow. (Keeping fingers crossed! Oh wait...then I won't be able to type... )

It has been raining here, most of the morning...(nothing new, these days)...and it seems to be getting colder. I know we might have a chance at a little snow. But, with everything everything so water-logged I don't see how any precip has a chance of accumulating. My poor little grandson has been try...

Completely O.T.: redneckweather, have you ever driven the "3 Sisters" drive, in/around, Leakey? I had lunch in Leakey, back in July...a little family-owned place...quite tasty!

This dreary, damp, cool weather is for the birds. If I wanted to live in Seattle or Portland, I would move there. Bring on some cold or sunshine or anything but this...

I'm lovin' this whole new look. Much better than paging through all the garbledy-gook from the other site. Thanks to the "powers that be".
