    I’ve seen quite a few pictures this weekend on my friends’ Facebook accounts showing them decorating Christmas trees for the season.  Although I suspect most of them are using artificial trees so far ahead of Christmas, plenty of people still like the smell and look of a live tree in their homes.  Here are two…

    November 27, 2015

    This combined satellite and radar image today shows the moisture streaming northeast from Tropical Storm Sandra into the front draped through Texas and points northeast.  Fortunately for the Southeast, most of this moisture will  not affect us but could cause flooding in the central US.
