Tuesday, January 29 -- 7:00PM
What a crazy day. At noon, it was 73 degrees (the new record high for this date), and by 4:30PM the temperature had plummeted to 23. For all of you math-impaired types out there (like the wife), that's a 50 degree drop in a little over 4 hours. That's not a record temperature drop, but that's still just plain nutty. And did you get a load of this freaking WIND? All I can say is WOW!
This bodes well for the upcoming winter storm that will effect the region Thursday night into Friday. Plenty of cold air in place...plenty of Pacific moisture combining with Gulf moisture headed our way...All indications are that this storm will have a heavy band of 8-10 inches of snow somewhere in the region....the million-dollar question is, "where will that happen?"
Answer: I have no freakin idea. 50 miles north or south of a given line could be the difference between a ton of snow, and just a few flakes.
But...I said it yesterday, and I will say it again: if I was a betting man, I would lay odds on widespread school closings in the STL metro area for Friday. I'd throw a buck down on that!
When I know more, I will post an update.
Til next time.....Think Snow!

I saw a report on G4 saying that winter weather patterns can affect the proper functioning of plasma televisions. Did you catch that episode? Oh...I forgot...your plasma t.v. is on the fritz:) Greg
