TRAIL/WEATHER CONDITIONS

Another Monday...

Well let's see...right after we posted our blog yesterday morning before 11 a.m....that period of time must have been the calm before the storm because right around 11:30 a.m., it came a downpour of rain. It didn't really last all that long, but oh it came down. After that, even our campground area looked like a swamp area with puddles standing everywhere. Getting stuck yesterday was normal & it seemed to be happening to everyone. But yesterday (temperature-wise) was actually a really nice day to be outdoors. After that downpour though, we did not receive any more rain yesterday or overnight. This morning as of 8:45 a.m., we have a current temperature of 34 degrees. It is a cloudy and cold day! Only supposed to see highs today of around 44 degrees. We have received NO rain thus far today. Brace yourself, because yes, another round of snow is heading our way. Here in the Red River Valley they are saying we may only see a dusting of snow though and may miss the bull’s-eye of the storm. Last time (aka February 11th) the weather forecasters said the same thing and we received 8 inches of snow, so be prepared for anything. We'll keep you posted. There is a special weather statement for our area though as issued by the National Weather Service. See details below:

... WINTER WEATHER EXPECTED MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY...

AN UPPER LEVEL STORM SYSTEM WILL APPROACH FROM THE WEST MONDAY NIGHT AND WITH COLD AIR IN PLACE... AREAS OF SNOW WILL DEVELOP OVERNIGHT. THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR ACCUMULATING SNOW AND TRAVEL IMPACTS ACROSS MUCH OF NORTH TEXAS LATE MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY... ESPECIALLY SOUTH OF A BOWIE TO DALLAS TO CANTON LINE.

A WINTER STORM WATCH IS IN EFFECT GENERALLY ALONG AND SOUTH OF A LINE FROM CISCO... TO WAXAHACHIE... TO ATHENS. NORTH OF THE WATCH AREA... LESSER AMOUNTS OF ACCUMULATING SNOW MAY ALSO IMPACT TRAVEL. AT THIS TIME... SNOWFALL TOTALS OUTSIDE THE WATCH AREA ARE EXPECTED TO RANGE FROM A TRACE TO AN INCH WITH ISOLATED AMOUNTS OF 2 INCHES.

AS THE EVENT NEARS... CONFIDENCE IS GROWING THAT THE HIGHER SNOWFALL AMOUNTS OF 2 TO 4 INCHES WILL STAY SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 20. HOWEVER... ANY CHANGES TO THE TRACK OR STRENGTH OF THE STORM SYSTEM COULD AFFECT THE SNOWFALL AMOUNTS AND AREAS IMPACTED. RESIDENTS AND TRAVELERS ACROSS NORTH TEXAS SHOULD MONITOR THE LATEST FORECASTS FROM THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN FORT WORTH.

*** Have a nice day & look on the bright side, if we do end up getting any winter weather...it will come in tomorrow and be gone by Wednesday...typical Texas weather (ever-changing). And thankfully it will be long gone by this weekend....so it's never too early to start thinking about what you'll be doing this weekend!
