Yep, not news to our friends north of here, but we got 12.5" of snow yesterday in a 24hr period. Shattered the old record by 5".
My 40 yr old Burr Oak has 2 large limbs broken, my maple just one, one limb landed on the roof, have not gone out to assess the damage yet. It is melting now, and no more is expected soon.

That's like a light dusting here in Michigan!
Dang global warming all over my front yard.
Stay warm!

Toasty 47 here in Austin. Hope nothings busted. Good luck, enjoy the mud for the next week.

Dang...they must be hauling that warm water from the melting ice caps by tanker truck up from Galveston on I45 after it made the long journey around the Keys.
Amazing what a determined Global Warming ocean current can accomplish.

Yep Benny and I lost power about 2 am. There are about 7 blocks without power over in my neck of the woods. They don't know when it will be back up. I'm at a buddy's house for the night.

Forget red and blue — color America white. There was snow on the ground in 49 states Friday. Hawaii was the holdout. It was the United States of Snow, thanks to an unusual combination of weather patterns that dusted the U.S., including the skyscrapers of Dallas, the peach trees of Atlanta and the Florida Panhandle, where hurricanes are more common than snowflakes.
More than two-thirds of the nation's land mass had snow on the ground when the day dawned, and then it snowed ever so slightly in Florida to make it 49 states out of 50.
At the same time, those weird weather forces are turning Canada's Winter Olympics into the bring-your-own-snow games.
Who's the Great White North now?
"I'm calling it the upside-down winter," said David Robinson, head of the Global Snow Lab at Rutgers University in New Jersey.
Snow paralyzed and fascinated the Deep South on Friday. Snowball fights broke out at Southern Mississippi University, snow delayed flights at the busy Atlanta airport, and Louisiana hardware stores ran out of snow supplies. Andalusia, Ala., shut down its streets because of snow. And yet, Portland, Maine, where snow is usually a given, had to cancel its winter festival for lack of the stuff
Our sled dog race got postponed till March (They hope ) because, though are temperatures are normal 20 degrees during the day, (A couple over 30 ) we have not gotten much precipitation, last week we got flurries 1 day but it was melting as soon as it hit.
-
In 2 days of flurries we got half as much snow as Dallas did in a day. What's wrong with this picture? ???

Lost 2 major limbs in the front and an entire tree in the back. Luckily, nothing hit the house.

Some advice for you guys that have never seen this white stuff. Do not eat the yellow or brown snow.
