Christmas Eve "Lull" - Don't be Fooled!

So many of you woke up this morning to 2 to 5 inches of fresh snow... a few moderate snow showers are still pushing through our viewing area, but nothing compared to what's to come, so don't let the lighter snow right now fool you into taking a longer drive to go visit family. The snow will ramp up again this evening just as many are expected to head to evening church services. Check out our closing ticker to see if your services have been cancelled.

If you look down in Texas and in Oklahoma, you can see all the snow and moisture that's on the way for tonight and into Christmas morning. That's the real part of the storm - the snow we saw last night was just the leading edge of this powerful storm. Those really dark blues are intense snowfall rates, so we're going to see those move up here and spread out tonight and into Friday. This system is really quite large and powerful and it's going to bring all that snow we've been talking about. It will definitely be one to remember and several snowfall records may be broken from this storm. Here's a look at what the National Weather Service put together to take a look back at the current records for Christmas:

Try and stay off the roads to have a safe holiday!
