deep east texas
A strong arctic front sweeps through the area Wednesday morning bringing some very cold air to to the area. Winds will be very gusty during the day Wednesday making it feel like its in the teens and 20s all day. Layers are strongly recommended with highs Wednesday in the upper 30s.

Overnight lows by Thursday morning will drop down into the teens area wide.

Look for highs by Thursday to struggle to get above the freezing mark. Highs stay in the 30s to near 40s through the weekend.

An upper level disturbance moves towards the area in two pieces. The first wave arrives Friday bringing a chance of a light wintry mix of sleet and snow.

The second arrives by Saturday afternoon bringing with it the potential for wintry precip. Depending on exact timing, and placement of features a wintry mix may develop across portions of East Texas.

The main threat with the second wave looks to be more freezing rain, cold rain, or sleet. Needless to say, more details will be forthcoming in the coming days. Stay Tuned!

Have a great day!

i've done what i can to protect the plumbing,from a winter freeze..and i put a 55 gallon barrel in the bathroom,and filled it with water.just in case the pipes do freeze up on me..

I'm in FL, and supposed to be in the 30's tonight.
For most Floridians, that's arctic. For me, though, not too bad.
Just like last night, just means we need to blanket the horses, and put tarp around the henhouse (to cut the wind), and blankets around bunny hutches.
I already put a little kerosene in the diesel.
 
Currently 13 degrees and sunny, 5-10 mph ENE wind, with a 5 degree wind chill factor.

Thanks for letting me know.

Not bad for a day. Our last rain got us about 3 inches as well. They're calling for a couple more tomorrow. For that part, I just hope it rains some this summer...
 
The small creek in the front of the property feeds three ponds here. They are staying full, but the creek is just a trickle most of the time now. I'll take as much rain as nature can muster right now. I'm just hoping we don't go into the hot drought conditions again this summer.

The weather sounds like you should get some tomorrow night. Hope it doesn't get too bad there. They're saying 60mph winds here.

I don't worry about the forecasts as they are wrong more often than right. If you are in the path of a really bad storm, well, that's what insurance is for.
 
everything here,is good to go..everything got saturated is all...

Sunny with clouds, high winds and snow squalls today. Most of the snow is melted in the exposed areas. Still a lot of snow in the trees and protected areas. The snow just melted off the garden area.

All we had was a couple inches of rain and some wind. Another line forming near the Mizsippi River. We'll see what that does...
