…SLEET AND SNOW POSSIBLE OVER NORTH TEXAS TOMORROW…

AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE WILL MOVE THROUGH NORTH TEXAS TOMORROW. WITH AMPLE MOISTURE IN PLACE AND TEMPERATURES IN THE LOWER 30S…THERE WILL BE A CHANCE FOR LIGHT SLEET AND SNOW NORTH OF A LINE FROM CISCO…TO BURLESON…TO ATHENS. HEAVIER PRECIPITATION WILL OCCUR SOUTH OF THIS LINE WHERE WINTER WEATHER ADVISORIES AND WINTER STORM WARNINGS ARE IN PLACE.

TOTAL ICE AND SNOW ACCUMULATIONS ACROSS NORTHERN NORTH TEXAS ARE EXPECTED TO BE RATHER LIGHT. HAVING SAID THIS…EVEN A SMALL AMOUNT OF WINTER PRECIPITATION CAN CAUSE TRAVEL PROBLEMS. COMMUTING TOMORROW MAY BECOME PROBLEMATIC AS PRECIPITATION BEGINS TO FALL. IF TRAVEL IS NECESSARY…DRIVERS MUST BE ESPECIALLY CAUTIOUS AND ALERT FOR ICY PATCHES ON BRIDGES…OVERPASSES…AND LESS TRAVELED ROADS.

SOME FLUCTUATION OR CHANGE IN THE STORM TRACK COULD OCCUR IN THE NEXT 12 TO 24 HOURS…RESULTING IN ADDITIONAL AREAS BEING INCLUDED IN AN ADVISORY OR WARNING. PAY ATTENTION TO FUTURE FORECASTS REGARDING THIS DEVELOPING WINTER WEATHER SITUATION.

We (my city, not the metroplex) didn’t see much actual ice, so chances are we won’t see much – if any – snow, but I hope, I hope, I hope.

In the Pink

It’s all Janet‘s fault. She sent me a video of Snape dancing to a Scissor Sisters song, and I had to play too. Plus, I was suffering from writer’s block brought on by the extremely clunky and not user-friendly Audi website.

And so I uploaded my face, and a different image of good ol’ Severus Snape, and made a video of my own, which, in the words of a good friend, is “fucking hilarious,” – and oh, it so is.

But it’s also got me thinking about how much I’ve always wanted to dye my hair pink (see icon added to corner of blog). Another good friend pointed out that since I’m not working in corporate America, I actually CAN dye my hair pink, but I’m kind of chicken. Actually I’m a LOT chicken.

But still.

Oh, and…for those of you who are curious. Here’s the link to the video.
