thats weird when I hear a pro met saying be patient everything is on track I feel pretty comfortable :D

So, to back up your forecast, you have counted out how many people have said things are on track? Everything looks good to me, if anything, I think someone is gonna get more than what they are expecting here. But nothing that is gonna change anyone's life or anything. Sit back and enjoy our snowstorm. It's gonna be a real one for a change.

I know we have members near El Campo, Jeff. Perhaps if Big O from the Corpus area is viewing he can offer an ob as well.

This event, for some time, has been forecast to be a Thur Evening into Friday event. As srainhoutx noted, there was a hiccup when a few jumped the gun and said by midday today, but other than that, I see the event unfolding about as forecast....no need to panic.

Hello and welcome to the forums. I would really feel very good when a pro met tells me to be patient, we are on track. I would usually take that to the bank.
