up until this evening we were still looking at snow this week, they took it out of the forcast though
Bryan, this site, http://155.84.70.101/reports/LVNT2.TXT, will give you hourly updates on the pooling level of Lake Lavon. The normal level is 492 ft (sea level), right now it's 484.24 which is up by 2 feet in a couple of days. I'm glad to see it coming up, but don't need an 8 inch rain all at once.whatabudro said:We need it too, last I checked Lake Lavon was 12 feet low

I'm just north of Lake Lavon's Clear Lake Park and have received 7 inches since Friday night with it still coming down. Channel 4 in Dallas said earlier that some areas have received up to 10 inches. It's typical Texas weather, either feast or famine, whether it's rain, ice, heat, you name it.
I guess the rain put out all the fires didn't it? Mother Nature can be rough, can't she? I read an article where some of the fires were moving at 40 MPH. That's twice as much as the speed limit in most school zones. I went to Louisiana yesterday to get my mom, round trip was 13 hours. Saw three vehicles in the median on I-20 just west of Longview that were probably the result of the heavy rains on Sunday night. One was a new F150 that was buried up to the axles (looked like it just drove into the median), the other two were a Ford Explorer and a Toyota Sienna van that appeared to have flipped over but were back on their wheels. All of this was in a stretch of less than two-three miles. All of the vehicles had police yellow tape around them, probably waiting on a good tow vehicle to get them out. I figure the rain made them "hydroplane" off the road.roosterdiesel said:We got an inch of rain and a dusting of the white stuff yesterday. More cold and rain for tomorrow. We're soakin up like a sponge!
