Hurricane Force Winds - 17 Inches of Snow -1,600 Homes Without Power - Historic Blizzard Amarillo, Texas

Time to start living each day as it is your last. It has been 88 for the last 3 days in South Florida. The world is in trouble and I dont think we can last for much longer, hopefully I am wrong!

Holy dog shit! Texas? Only drought and massacre happens in Texas, Private Snowball.

Very clever full medal jacket Japan!

many things are picking up speed now in their intensity, timing and strangeness.

Thanks for update DR. Acula ! Going to be quite a show!

Crazy weather!

Hodographs are very favorable for tornadoes tomorrow across the central/eastern portions of the Carolinas. Being I live in North Carolina though, and severe weather is always 'all or nothing', I'm not excited. [link to www.twisterdata.com]

The big guys are giving it to each other with tesla howitzers ie scalar weapons.

Now the weather gets really fucked up in specific areas as we are seeing, Spain (that is the weak link in the EU and out of the blue, cold front!, taken care off ;).

And the best part about this, its not atomic, cant be traced other than an act of "god" ( in this case most be Baphomet given the guys with the finger on the trigger! LMAO).

Peace to all, nothing to do but to chill and enjoy the fireworks.

When I lived in Washington DC, a half inch of snow would paralyze the city. One year we had a 14 inch snow storm and there were calls going out on the radio for people who had four wheel drive vehicles to help transport peope to the hospitals since no ambulances could travel.

So yes, it IS newsworthy that it snowed that much in Amarillo. I'd be surprised if anyone even had so much as a snow shovel down there...

NWS MOB doesnt appear to be to worried about the Tornado Threat

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF SOUTH CENTRAL
ALABAMA...SOUTHWEST ALABAMA...NORTHWEST FLORIDA AND SOUTHEAST
MISSISSIPPI.

.DAY ONE...TONIGHT

WIDESPREAD HEAVY RAIN AND PERIODIC STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS WILL
CONTINUE TO IMPACT THE REGION TONIGHT. A SQUALL LINE IS EXPECTED TO MOVE
ACROSS THE AREA THIS EVENING INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. DAMAGING
STRAIGHT LINE WINDS...LARGE HAIL...AND ISOLATED TORNADOES WILL BE A
THREAT. STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS WILL ALSO CONTAIN FREQUENT LIGHTNING
ACTIVITY.

A FLASH FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT...WITH ADDITIONAL RAINFALL
AMOUNTS FROM 1 TO 3 INCHES FORECAST TONIGHT...WITH LOCALIZED TOTALS UP TO
AROUND 5 INCHES POSSIBLE WHERE HEAVIER STORM CLUSTERS MOVE REPEATEDLY
OVER THE SAME AREAS. THIS ADDITIONAL HEAVY RAIN COMBINED WITH
SATURATED SOILS ATOP SATURATED SOIL WILL LIKELY LEAD TO RUNOFF AND
PILE UP OF WATER IN LOWER LYING...POOR DRAINAGE AREAS. FLASH FLOODING

A STRONG COLD FRONT MOVES EAST ACROSS THE REGION LATE THIS
EVENING...BRINGING AN END TO THE SEVERE WEATHER RISK IN ITS WAKE.

Our Panhandle gets rough weather quite often, like that 3+ feet of hail last Summer.......

Right on. Here in Lubbock, we only had about 4". The biggest problem down here is our lack of equipment to combat events like this. We don't exactly have a fleet of snowplows to clear the roads, and very few people have snow shovels. Adding to the snow problem is the sustained 45 mph winds with nothing to slow them down. West Texas isn't known for it's hills, so when the wind starts howling, there's nothing to stop it.

It's that dam global warming...........

It's definitely interesting.

Never heard of that much snow in the 30 some odd years I've lived here. That's... unheard of. We don't build houses for super cold and blizzards. That's just... wrong.. LOL

Don't here in Central Texas we are just getting major wind. It's like a freaking hurricane out there. Someone's trash can got lodged up under the back of my car this morning. I have NO idea whose it is nor where it came from.. LOL.

Guess I have a new trash can?

Sunny and Warm here with NO snow on the ground ... and I live in snow country!!

Enjoy the white stuff! It does melt ... eventually.


(And NEVER travel out in a Blizzard. It seems that people who do NOT live in the snow belt always want to "test out" their 4 wheel drive vehicles ... and voila LOTS of em either get stuck and have to abandon their baby OR get in an accident that takes Thousands of $$$ to fix. Up here we call the S-T-U-P-I-D I-D-I-O-T-S)

new trash can!!!!! heck yeah!

Stay safe amidst that wind!

The Weather Channel‏@weatherchannel

Record rainfall of 2.54 inches has fallen as of 5pm today in Jacksonville, Fl., breaking the old record of 1.77 set in 1960.

AccuWeather.com‏@breakingweather

Reports of possible tornado that damaged vehicles and downed power lines near East Houma, Louisiana at 5:41 pm EST.

Thank you.
Luisport, Doorbert and CowgirlK are some of the main weather folks here. I have much to learn, and I have learned a lot from them, but I do believe i have a ways to go before i can be compared to them.


Props to them for their hard work.
but yeah i agree GLP has some fine folks who tirelessly work to keep us all informed of many many different fields :)

thats one of the reasons this place is awesome!

Tell me about it. Sitting here in Brisbane getting drenched in rain again! This for Western Australia [link to www.bom.gov.au] And all the while Victoria is still on fire. It's happening everywhere.

moved south

Wow, that's the kind of reaction I have when I see those northerners sniveling at a mere 92 degree day and talking like they are about to croak at 100.

It's all in what you are prepared for, doncha know?

Stay safe and warm. Beware of the joyriding assholes who have ZERO experience driving in snow OR hurricane strength winds.

Well living in Amarillo it was one nice Blizzard, I'm snowed in.Work called off schools closed, oh well.
