    Ok. Totally weird to see a blizzard warning on Bourbon Street, but that is how we are starting 2025.




    Blizzard Warning issued in Texas, Louisiana as deadly winter storm slams South | Fox Weather

    HOUSTON – A powerful and deadly winter storm sweeping across the South is dumping heavy snow across Houston and other major metropolitan areas along the Interstate 10 corridor, prompting the first-ever Blizzard Warning along portions of the Gulf Coast.

    According to information provided by Uvalde County Constable Emmanuel Zamora, a major crash involving "several fatalities" was reported east of La Pryor, Texas, along Highway 57 in Zavala County early Tuesday morning.

    "First responders on scene indicating slippery roads while responding to accident," Zamora said in a Facebook post. "Medical helicopter could not respond to assist due to weather. Prayers for all involved."

    If they haven't done so already it's only a matter of time before Trump and the boys claim that the weather anomaly is proof that global warming is a hoax.

    I wonder if cars will be stuck in Atlanta for a week like last snow storm? Texas has a very poor record on winters storms. Fingers crossed.
