Arctic Wars
It's all over but the screams of agony now (shouting for most of you). The arctic
air continues to blast southward, and our storm system is finally moving over
land over the Southern Cali area.
You should have your Braum's bread and milk bought by now, as well as your Cherry
Pop-Tarts. No Taco Bell unless you stocked up on TP, however. A winter storm
warning covers most of the area, as does an extreme cold warning.
Our fine friends at the NWS and our media partners (also fine friends) have all
the info you need to come through this what has become a "Storm of the Century"
type of deal safely.
I have this sneaky suspicion somebody's gonna get close to 2 feet of snow,
and we all know what that looks like!
One more caution...it's not the snow that'll get ya, it's the cold. Don't mess
around with it this weekend.
Time to hunker, or whatever version of hunker it is you do. Turn to your
trusted media sources as well as your local NWS offices to stay abreast of all
the latest weather info, and keep you and yours safe.
