Under mandatory water conservation here. So many leaks, so many people running water to keep pipes from freezing demand is double what it normally would be and the water plant is struggling to keep up.

That's colder than we are. Your looking good for Sunday. People will find out who has the broken pipes. Stay safe brother.

We are looking at 15 tonight up to 27 tomorrow. Back down to 14 tomorrow night. Then slow warm up in store with rain most of this coming week.

It's been cold here for a couple weeks hit low 30's a couple days for the highs, -14 for the lowest, lots of single dights lows. Getting ready for Plumbagedon next week when it warms up in the 40's. Disappointed in my Toyota, the outside air temp only goes down to 0* and gets stuck. I'm expecting the birth rate to be high this December. Happy Winter everybody!

Thought I would post this forecast map. Getting serious for NW part of Arkansas. @Smitty335 @Caper Freezing rain is expected over a significant portion of the state late Sunday night into the morning hours on Monday.

I hate freezing rain. We had some today just out of the city. Lots of cars and keeps in the median.

Saying freezing rain to start tomorrow night here. .1" predicted then it will switch to rain. However with a high of 36, it wont take much of a temp change and we will have a mess.

@Caper , is this a up-north snow version of a FJ40? 🤣
Regardless, I would like to take it for a spin.

Definitely would be harder to flop on its side.
The old FJ was pretty good in the snow
There was a full buss on my moms street that had slid backwards and was blocking the other buses from getting by. I went in front of him and took out my chain and hooked it up to the FJ on the tow hook I had on back, and stood in front of the driver with the other hook in my hand. He said you'll never move it full of people. But you can try.
I hooked him up and tightened the chain, put her in L 2 and popped the clutch with the old 6 ply on her, she dug through the snow and then through the ice and started hopping. Inch by inch she pulled. And once she got going, it pulled that buss full of people about 300' up to the top of the hill. Everyone on the buss was clapping and going crazy. The driver came out of the bus and shook my hand and said, if I didn't see it , I would never believe it. 😊

It is extremely slick here. The freezing rain came as forecast. School is on a 2 hr delay. My work just went to a 2 hr delay and if you can work from home you are encouraged to do so.
