The wintry mix of precipitation continues to fall at this hour...

Cool video. My daughter lives in Frisco and works in Irving, so I'm guessing she might be late to work this morning. ;)
One of my most vivid weather memories is of a thunderstorm morphing into thundersnow in Bartlesville, OK back in the early 70s.
I have to check your blog for the weather in my area, since our Houston area radar is "down for dual pol upgrade".

Thanks for visiting. I think it was just enough to make snow lovers happy and not cause too many problems.
The dual pol upgrade will make for better weather information in your area and the region. I actually made a post about that last year, which you can view here:
