Not much into news and that means I get behind on weather, yesterday it got a wee bit hectic with ice, small amount of caution and it was pretty safe; wouldn't know it from the pile ups though.
It's been several years, like 1984 since I saw a real winter, but that's aside the obligatory two week ice storm here and there.
So, hows the other four-State areas doing besides AR? Anyone else kinda find it strange that here it is almost the end of Jan and winter has yet to visit? -I don't care for winter, but it sure gets milder every year, as an observation.

There people almost beside themselves Friday and trying to leave work early -I think they were really beging to be stuck at home for a couple of days and as we draw into Feb the panic has set in that it might not happen 
Had to drive my Daughter South out of town Friday evening, forced to use back roads because traffic was at a stand still from wrecks on the highway; granted it's much harder on the back roads, heck of a lot safer regards traffic though.
Wouldn't mind a sprinkle of snow for a change. |

| My security settings won't go there, but I suspect OK had it's share of ice, I did say a wee bit of snow. Ice is like rain around Arkansas, if it rains it may have well iced. 
People can't drive here in less than perfect conditions. |

It has been to chilly for the last few days. I hate it and look forward to sweating my balls off again. I am not an eskimo and was not built for winter.

I am ready for the cold weather to go. I am ready for summer. I'm tired of being cold. I thought I was going to enjoy winter, but boy was I wrong. |

You should know how I feel about the cold. I rode my motorcycle that next day and boy was it crappy.
When the sleet started falling I was working on Rodney Parham. Within fifteen minutes of leaving that job site, I was almost hit three times. I then decided that work was over and headed north of the river. There was a three car pile up in the middle of the river bridge. It wasn't even slick yet!
If that little groundhog rat sees his shadow, I'll personally find his furry little butt and see what they taste like C'mon Spring!

I think the last serious cold 'snap' around here was back in 1984 or was it 1985, the Vette had snow up to the window.
I'm convinced we are going to see less ice and snow and harder storms. You fellas down LA will probably get the worst of that mess and Tornado's around here and North.
I'm waiting for leaves in Spring too, can't be soon enough.

Got from 2-3" of snow in Fayetteville. Roads were clear by 8am and by the afternoon most were dry. There's still some snow in shady areas, but I imagine it will be melted today. Was nice while it lasted. |

Was beginning to think winter was a myth, the stuff of legends in South Central. |

Sorry I missed you Kiwi.
It was sixty degrees today and I couldn't help but to ride.
Hopefully there is something to this global warming thing 
Heck, I may blow off the superbowl to go riding again tomorrow.

Well, it all changed today, now I can't figure out what's next. I got into a wee bit of a debate today regards which month Feb/March was going to worse for the South Central area, in the past though the weather as such and the axis of the planet and us; always has been Feb and then a rather jumpy period through the first of March.
My memory may not be as good as others, is it Feb or March before life settles into true Spring?

I have seen it snow on April fool's day though.
Seventy degrees today baby! Whoo-hoo

You still alive Joe, did that bucket help? Four killed tonight with tidal waves of 1/2 mile wide tornadoes, settled down now but that sure was a rough ride.
boognish Had a restless night and woke up to 82 inside, currently 78 and Thursday is due for freeze -Man this is messed up.
