January 2020: Unsettled WX Week Ahead
I’m so sorry for you and your family, Montgomerycowx.
….and the GFS once again doesn't remember that it's January....
I am so sorry for your loss and this terrible news! Your family will be in our prayers!MontgomeryCoWx wrote: ↑Sat Jan 11, 2020 2:08 pm Thank you all. I was able to clear most of the tree debris and hook the horse up to the tractor and get him to the driveway.
Waller Equine is supposedly picking him up today.
I’m not going to touch the barn yet until insurance arrives tomorrow .
Just heartbreaking MontgomeryCoWx Wishing for comfort & peace for your & yours - hugs to those kiddosMontgomeryCoWx wrote: ↑Sat Jan 11, 2020 8:50 am We had a tragedy at the house. We were under the tornado warned cell in Magnolia and our barn was destroyed and my boys new horse (Christmas present) was killed in the storm.
150 yards to the SW and our house would have taken the brunt of that wind.
Hard coming back in and telling your 7 and 4 year old their horse is dead 2 weeks after our 15 year old dog passed.

The hook echo near Caldwell last night was confirmed an an EF-1 tornado today. Barns, trailer damage, trees down.
updated LSRs - anyone with damage should report it so it's documented for this event

This winter the models have only been a tease, nothing more. I can't recall the last time they were so wrong with model runs outside of 5 days for the entire winter season. I dont see anything else happening for cold weather this year. Hopefully next year will be better.Kingwood36 wrote: ↑Sat Jan 11, 2020 6:31 pmWasnt there suppose to be a change that would allow us to have cold air come down?
