    We are looking at about half a inch along the US67 corridor plus or minus 3 counties NE corner all the way down to the SW Corner by Shreveport. It is part of a bigger front that will deliver snow from roughly Hurricane WVa all the way down through us and eventually Big Piney Texas. Then move east into Georgia etc.

    For us the snow is nice and welcome, but ultimately not a problem. The Icing is what I am looking at. They say 30's to 40 after the sun rises in a few hours then down below freezing after the sun sets around 5 PM tonight (Tuesday, central time)

    LZK in little rock is flip flopping back and forth between snow-sleet-freezing rain back to just straight snow then around and around every 4 hours. Always back to snow so I think we can count on that much. Personally I prefer the icing to show up as well, I have a acre of parking lot I need to engage the 4x4 on my tahoe and see if it needs maintenance before the real brutal winters set in.

    Another tune from him would be Jack and Diane. It was in the early 80's and pretty blatant enjoyment of each other and riled the staff at the school when the comprehended what was pouring out of our optomistically built music room.

    5 foot peaveys yea wide. tubes all over humming

    magic marker saying -11 get 4 deaf people around it and we soaked in the music.

    Our assistant principle on the second floor. Had a green metal govt desk. His coffee started bouncing as they swing into "Born in the USA" which was quite the tune back then. Even more potent today considering how we are getting hollowed out.

    One job I had. A gal's ring tone for the Terminal Manager was: "### Hole Calling... ### Hole Calling."

    Well figured out my bunk heater doesnt work below 20degrees. Works fine above those temperatures. I wonder if my fuel is gelling up just enough in the lines to clog the filter and lines. Hmmmmmm

    It don't get better than this....
    At home... Listening to Lynyrd Skynyrd... Favorite songs I relate to driving. Free Bird, The Breeze, Tuesday's Gone... then ones like Sweet Home Alabama. Used to crank that in Alabama.
    A company who is actually getting me home for my 34's. If not... He actually asks if it's ok!
    Enjoying it...
