New Poll, Possible Severe Weather This Weekend

The old poll has closed and the winner for our favorite cold weather fix was hot chocolate.

We had 73 voters, and the results were as follows...

Hot Chocolate -- 38%

Soup/Stew -- 23%

Chili -- 21%

Coffee -- 16%

I posted a new poll today.

No surprise that coffee was in last place. I think that is just a fix for many people any day of the week, regardless of the temperature. I know I enjoy a cup in the mornings, esp. the smell as it brews.

Well there is something showing up in the forecasts that we haven't seen in a while, potential severe weather outbreaks.

Can you believe it is already that time of the year?

The battle of air masses will soon start taking place as warm air from the south meets colder air from the north.

Computer models are showing there could be strong to severe storms over the southern plains (Oklahoma and Arkansas in particular) during the first half of the upcoming week.

A new storm system is moving into the western part of the country today. This time the bulk of the energy is hitting California, and that is good --- much of the state is in a drought.

Along with the rain comes cooler temperatures. Las Vegas, for instance, is expecting highs in the 50s and lows in the 40s for the next several days.
