    Several weather models are showing a potential major winter storm for north central Texas Thur/Fri. That could be big trouble for the Cotton Bowl. I lived in the DFW area and a couple of inches of snow can wreak havoc. Some models are showing up to a foot. Here is the Euro for Fri morning.

    We haven't had much snow but we're in the middle of a prolonged cold spell here in Southern Ontario, we won't be above freezing for the next 2 weeks by the looks of things!

    Same here. The existing snow is just a hard, crunchy ice pack. Looks like a little warmer in a couple days.

    21 now in East Tennessee . . . going into the teens the next few nights. Ugh!

    It's not fun when I can't sit outside and sip my coffee to start the day.

    Yeah, but the other nine months of the year are wonderful there. 26 here in NE GA with real feel at 16. Looks like we have some snow coming on Friday. Time to shut down the state! :D

    As a former three decade resident of the Big Bend area, I can confirm. In 2011 I had 12” icicles hanging from my eve. It falls into the freezing category annually.
