WilkesboroDude Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Poor Frank Strait from Accuweather...didn't see the Winter Storm Watches from the NWS for Texas. Didn't even mention it after doing a whole video for the South-East the other day. OK, first, it's snowing in West Texas early this morning. This is making me even more dadgum angry because I wasn't looking closely enough to see this back on Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's the link to Frank's blog, it's a pretty good write up: http://www.accuweather.com/en/weather-blogs/strait/friday-morning-grumpy-update/3569946 Although I think he may have been on the sauce a little bit, heh.

Cold Rain Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 [QuickRant]. I think DT has a hard time telling time. He always promises an update by a certain period or time and it's substantially late every time. [/QuickRant] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess if they're trying to build credibility with 3rd graders, then well done. I don't understand why they don't try to at least feign a little professionalism.

Just so I understand, are 30's and 40's - with overnight temps in the 20's - considered seasonably mild? I'm only asking because I'm wearing clothes that would suggest that I am either uncomfortably chilly without them, or I really dig winter wear. And I'm pretty d*** positive that if I started sewing my corn and cantaloupe seeds, they would audibly ask me what the hell I thought I was doing.
