Snow Day...
Well no precipitation overnight. But as of this morning, boy, how things changed! And conditions changed fast! As of 11:30 a.m., we have a current temperature of 33 degrees. Around 7 to 8 a.m., it started snowing & hasn't stopped since. It is currently coming down now. Everything is covered & accumulations are mounting. It is hard to tell how much snow we have received so far, but it looks to be around a good 4 to 5 inches on the ground already...and it is coming down really really hard now, so there is no telling what our final snow accumulation total will be...so we will keep you posted on that one. (So much for the forecast yesterday that said our area would miss the bulk of the storm and would only have 1 to 2 inches...that forecast went out the window fast!) Long story short...we have beautiful snow....all the schools in our area have already closed and while roads don't seem to be too bad now, in spots, things are already starting to get slick. What we anticipate throughout the day you might ask: well more snow...it is supposed to snow all day today and so far, that looks to be pretty accurate. We even saw one local forecast for our area that had now increased our potential predicted snow total...up to possible 7 or 8 inches for our area...but we will continue to monitor the situation. We have already topped out at our "high" temperature of the day, so it will be a cold one too! Road conditions are supposed to continue to get worse as we go thru the day.
Stay warm, be safe, & as of right now, we are accepting weekday appointments for winter snow trail riding, but we can advise you already that there appears to be big drifts that we have already encountered....so only 4 wheel drive vehicles are recommended. And yes, snowmobiles are welcome. Don't forget to bring that sled also! And last but not least....don't forget the camera!
There is a winter storm warning for our area as issued by the National Weather Service. See below for details:

If you are thinking of a Valentine's Day Weekend Winter Getaway...Bulcher, Texas is the perfect snow destination!
This is looking to be a repeat of the Christmas Snow we received....while we're not quite to the 8 inches + that we received over the holidays (or just yet), if the current heavy snowfall keeps this up...we'll be really close if not surpass what we received 2 months ago! That snowmobile is already looking really good for this weekend!
