And you can connect to the SbitX via your phone, PC or tablet: With your sbitx connected to the home wifi, just open sbitx.local on the browser of your phone/tab/pc and start operating your radio! With the bigger screen of your PC or tablet, you can have an expanded user interface of the sbitx.

It is supposed to start this evening, and the radar agrees. 5 in overnight.

They were wrong. It is barely covering the grass, which is fine with me.

Well, maybe the same guy is working there as was working here in December of 2017?
That forecast was "1/2 to 1 inch on grassy surfaces" - but weather.com had "snow" in their hourly forecasts for a LOT of hours. I believed them - and I have the picture of a wooden ruler buried 7 inches into the snow collected on top of a garbage bin. Elsewhere in the county had up to 12 inches of snow. One local TV weather-guesser had laughed on air at the storm model that predicted 8 inches - so much for meteorologists without extensive experience in local weather...

I now understand. We are on the Rain/Snow line and it is melting as fast as it is falling.

Now it is sticking again.

It is really sticking now. We have about 2 in of sloppy wet snow but the roads are as slick as greased Owl Poop. I will get out with the blower later so it doesn't freeze tonight.

Blower almost couldn't handle it, very heavy. The first layer is gone.

Glad I am not further west right now.
It is slowing down as there is only a light coat right now, but it most likely will freeze overnight and the roads will be really slick tomorrow morning during the commute.

No more this morning so I timed it just right. The plow did put a ridge at the end of the drive though.

Phooey...forecast lows for Monday are in the teens. I guess I'll bring some firewood in while it's still nice.
Other SE Louisiana folks are going to be chilly, especially if the winds accompanying the cold front take down power lines.

But But it's cause the earth is getting warmer don't ya know. And the "experts" in the 1970's blamed the changes in the weather on "Global Cooling" - their kids / grandkids now say it's "Global Warming" or "Climate Change". 'Scuse me for asking, but what caused the Ice Ages and their thaws when there weren't enough humans around to affect the weather? How can the "experts" be certain none of those factors apply to our current weather? Just more liberal ignorance, arrogance and incompetence - consider what they proposed for Pres and VP and how many ignorant people voted for incompetents to have those offices. Maybe we need three months without power, water, sanitation, grocery stores and pharmacies - and with machine guns protecting the US borders and 5 inch naval guns protecting the coastlines. The recovery might be months to years, the illegals would not want to be here and most of the liberals would starve or die of thirst. Are you ready for that "three months" and its aftermath? As in you'd be OK if it started with loss of power and water two minutes from now?

Well they were wrong and that's good. No new snow this morning. The forecast has 3 in withing 24 hrs and 13 within 48. Sure hope that is wrong also but the radar is sure blue west of us.
