TRAIL/WEATHER CONDITIONS

Good Tuesday Afternoon...

Found your winter coat and hat yet? If not, you better find it fast...even though Bulcher didn't receive enough moisture yesterday to even report, the mist that fell was just enough to make for messy conditions this morning. This morning on our way out to the park, we found that roads were very slick due to a layer of ice coating the surface making things a slow go up in our area. Well not much has changed since yesterday...as of 12:45 p.m., we have a current temperature of 27 degrees as it is cloudy out this afternoon. We have a current wind chill of 16 making it feel even colder out. Our area is under an ICE STORM WARNING and will be until tomorrow (Wednesday) morning....as the area prepares for another round of freezing rain/ precipitation. Not expecting to see the sun or much of a warm-up for that matter...high is suppose to be 30, so it is doubtful that we will even make it above freezing today. We have not received any substantial amount of rain yesterday or today thus far...however, we do have a slight drizzle falling on and off this morning. So even though the weather is so cold now...lookout...the weather this weekend is supposed to be GORGEOUS....good thing Texas weather changes so quickly!

Please note that due to extremely dry conditions...a BURN BAN is now in EFFECT for Cooke County and thus at RRMT, Inc. NO open pit campfires or open outdoor grilling permitted.
