Mike Ventrice talks of a negative EPO as March arrives. Too little too late?

Lucky! I wish we were having a record wet start to the year down here.
Hey if yall can complain about no snow all winter then I can complain about a lack of rain

I wish areas farther south could get in on some cold rain action! All we get is drizzle...
Models had our area getting up to 1 inch of rain with this event and it looks like most will be seeing less than 0.25 inch.

I wish I could give you all the rain that we and the folks up north of me have been receiving for the last six weeks. The rivers are way too high here, my front lawn is turning into a swamp, and I'm sure you're aware of what happening up in Jackson, Ms

Growing up in NTX in the 70s-80s, we could count on some sleet/ice and a decent snowfall or two. What happened to the once-fabled Dallas ice storms?
Of course I remember many, many busts back then as forecasting wasn't as advanced. But that was still the good ole days.

It has to be due to the concrete. Only 2 hours North, this is the first year in a long time that we haven’t registered a single digit low.

Be careful what you ask for. There is nothing desirable about a history making ice storm.
In the 2000 storm here in Denison, it was in the mid-20s on Christmas Day with heavy rain. The ice buildup in trees and on powerlines was horrible that afternoon and overnight. I stood on my front porch that night watching transformers blow on my end of town as power lines started coming down.
I was the news and sports director for two local radio stations and worked three straight days from dark to dark relaying information to our listeners. I was on the air every 15 minutes.
The roads weren’t too bad as a whole, but the bridges were and there was a fatality accident or two. No one had power or generators, the newspaper had problems printing and delivering, and few people could see any of the TV news. Radio info was all many people had.
The power grid was crippled here in Grayson County as big transmission towers crumpled, power lines snapped, poles buckled, and big trees came down. The tree damage from here to Broken Bow, Oklahoma was extensive.
Thousands went without power for days to weeks - the street directly behind my house was without power for right at two weeks.
Big snowstorm? Yes, give me all you want. Crippling ice storm? No thanks, you can keep them.
