We will still get some snow, but the blocking high (or was it a low?) that has been letting the icy cold air down from Canada is going away and now warmer Southern air is going to be able to flow up toward the Northeast. Hey, I'm just relating what the news said tonight.....

I'm not getting my hopes up yet....we still have the rest of this month and march to contend with,and as New Englander's know all too well,we can get nice weather,then all of a sudden,get smacked with a foot or two of snow.It would be nice though if the people on the news do indeed turn out to be correct! :O)

TRfour is right - it has been unusually cold down here in DFW. I haven't been to work in a week as the fire sprinkler system at work burst and flooded the building. What a mess!

Mother Nature has been known to give all of us a dope slap, every now and again...
