It has "warmed up" here to about 25 above zero - but heavy snow falling with about 12" expected by tomorrow afternoon. It's okay - I've seen a lot worse.

Within approximately 48 hours we're forecast to have another 10 inches on top of what's already fallen. It's supposed to "take a pause" and then start up again tomorrow night/Wednesday.

It hasn't reached us yet but my cousin in Siloam Springs told me this morning they have been told they are under a "rationing" of electrical power.
