Well we still got the big winds here until midnite, some of them are more than 50mph and you can hear the house groan. It stopped snowing around 5 or so. I shoveled between the house and garage door, a couple of times this afternoon, but it just filled back in after while. I think it was about 8" total of snow. We had rain for 3/4 of a day before that, so a lot of the snow landed on standing water. Going to be down to 11 tonite that will firm things up.
Im glad to see this really, as the river here down to 6' and the lowest its been in over 20 yrs. Thier predicting another drought next yr, so we are going to need all the rain/snow we can get this winter, and so far we have been getting rain every couple of weeks.

Dang Ronnie, surely that's rare as frog hair to get that cold down there???
Almost one of my favorites, when people ask how I'm doing I sometimes say, "Fine as frog hair."
Wind has finally died down here. Supposed to get down to 28*, so Texas will be colder than OK for a change! Might want to come North, Ronnie!
That just don't seem right, going North to get warmer. It's already been down to 20 twice here and the older I get the less I like cold weather and I'm older than dirt now.
