Better and better …
The good news is, the Winter Storm Watch is canceled. The bad news is, that’s because it’s now a Winter Storm Warning.
Statement as of 7:52 PM MST on December 19, 2006
… Winter Storm Warning remains in effect from 6 am Wednesday to5 PM MST Thursday…
Snowfall will become widespread late tonight and continue into Thursday with total snowfall amounts of 10 to 20 inches. Northwinds at speeds of 10 to 25 mph will cause some blowing and drifting snow.
Remember… a Winter Storm Warning means hazardous winter weatherconditions are imminent or highly likely. Significant snow accumulations are occurring or expected. Strong winds are also possible. This will make travel very hazardous or impossible.
The half-good news is that the 10-20 inches is through Thursday evening. It should be about half that by tomorrow night.
That said, we’re going to be watching the weather. If need be, we’ll leave for the airport much sooner and try to go stand-by on an earlier flight, rather than waiting for our 6 p.m. take-off. Except … hrm … flying Frontier, which only flies to SNA three times a day (morning, evening, night).
Well, heading for the airport early is probably a good idea, regardless.
All together now … I’m dreaming of a White Christmas …
