Ice storm looming

Another warning email from Troy Kimmel, who teaches meteorology at the University of Texas. The temperature is dropping through 33 degrees in our neck of the woods and rain is moving into the Austin area.

"Radar indicates that precipitation covers much of the Hill Country and will move northeastward to overspread the IH-35 corridor counties of Williamson, Travis, and Hays Counties shortly."

I hope to be able to post a few more times before bedtime. Don’t expect any power failures before morning, if then. Could be we’ll get lucky and avoid them. Mr. Boy went to bed excited about possible snow, but that rare occurance isn’t expected until tomorrow night at the earliest.

UPDATE  At 11:40 p.m., Troy is tracking thunderstorms over Mason county, southwest of Austin. If they move in here, we could have more flooding before dawn and they might as the rain generally is moving northeast. Interesting times.
