Been busy as a bee lately and with it being spring in January not felt much need for posting. But with wintry conditions back I'm back, though I never stopped reading. We've had rain/sleet/snow mixed at times here and been in the low 30s since around 4:30 this afternoon. The entire area is sitting about 5 degrees below the MRX forecast lows.

by **Jed33** 2013-01-14, 11:21 pm

Yeah, cold air is definitely pushing in easier than mrx thought.
