A winter wonderland here in Abilene, and all throughout the Big Country. Are you loving it or hating it?
Since 7 am, the snowflakes starting falling and Chief Meteorologist, Randy Turner tells me that it isn't expected to stop until 7 pm tonight. That's a lot of snow. Here in Abilene, we have seen between 3 to 5 inches of snow, and so far we have heard that Albany has had the most snowfall...reporting 8 inches today!
With the Winter Olympics starting tomorrow here on KRBC...it's funny to hear that Vancouver is having to ship in artificial snow for the games, when it just keeps on coming...here in the Big Country. Clearly, we do not have quite enough for the skiing and snowmobiles in the Olympics, but lots of people have found fun things to do with the Snow.
I found road conditions to be a little slippery this morning, but as more and more drivers traveled them, they weren't so bad. However, it's a little scary how the temperatures are expected to drop overnight and all that pretty white snow is expected to turn to ice.
How are you preparing for this storm? Stocking up on supplies today and calling into work tomorrow?
The KRBC team will be at work in the wee hours of the morning, letting you know about road conditions and what you can expect around town, if you do have to venture out on the Abilene roads. Be sure to watch the KRBC newscast throughout the night and into the morning tomorrow! Be safe everyone!

AISD NEEDS TO CONSIDER THE SAFETY OF ITS STUDENTS, PARENTS, AND STAFF WITH THESE WEATHER CONDITIONS. I HOPE TO SEE THAT THEY MAKE THE RIGHT DECISION TOMMOROW, UNLIKE TODAY.
ReplyDeleteHopefully, everyone had a safe commute in today's conditions...and I hope AISD gets a snow day tomorrow too! I remember how exciting it was to get snow days when I was in High School...I lived in Massachusetts. It took a lot to get them to cancel. Watch Abilene Today tomorrow morning, and we'll let you know all the closings and delays!
ReplyDeleteUMMMMM, I don't think I really believe that school should have been closed yesterday. However, I do believe that school should have been delayed yesterday as appossed to today. The roads were almost perfect or at least normal conditions this morning as appossed to the slushy, slippery conditions of yesterday morning!
ReplyDeleteJust my opinion,

Jen, I am in total agreement with you. Roads were much worse yesterday. I was slipping and sliding at the beginning of the day when the snow was fresh! Today, I saw no icy roads, just slush. Oh well, hopefully the kiddos enjoyed their late start though!

I know blogs are for openly expressing your opinions, however, this is not our blog it is Brittany's. So, I hope the rest of us reading this blog don't get offended by her blog as what anonymous said shouldn't reflect her opinion of KTXS, Ellen or stupidity.
