Be glad it missed you.

It looks like Amarillo may be just on the edge of the storm and miss the bulk of the storm which is already moving northward.  However, there are some road closings mostly going out of the city.  This is at 10:30 p.m. CST.

Thanks for the update, Joyce.  You would think people would start learning to stock up and not have to make these last minute runs to the store.

In Amarillo, we had rain last night and all day today, Monday, with the wind changing to blow in from the north and the wet, sleety type of snow starting around 4:30 to 5:00 p.m.  It looks like ice on the windshields, and a lot of it is still melting as it hits.  The prediction is for 8 to 12 inches of snow, so folks are preparing to become snowed in.  Certain things have flown off the grocery shelves, like crackers and stuff to make chili.
