The cold front that we are all interested in was pushing across Arkansas late this afternoon approaching Little Rock.

It was a warm 74 in Little Rock while Fayetteville had 54. It was in the mid 20s over Northern Kansas.

Interesting that parts of Arkansas are under both a Tornado Watch and a Winter Storm Watch. Slgnificant ice accumulations possible late Friday/Saturday.

Hail has been reported in several Arkansas communities this afternoon, up to one inch in diameter.

Some wind damage...uprooted trees...at Clarkridge.

Alrighty -----

The other day Michael asked what the "anti ice storm" dance was. Since I wasn't sure myself, I refrained from answer. Today I have that answer.

The anti ice storm dance can only be done on ice itself, and on ice skates of your choosing. You can be an experienced skater or not. Basically, you start by skating at a high speed, then go over a large hole in the ice that you didn't see. Your legs then go out from under you and your arms flailing wildly in vain to regain balance. The dance itself ends when you land upside down on your shoulders and the crowd starts clapping demanding a standing ovation.

I do NOT want an ice storm, but I also do not want to attempt this dance again.

Any takers??
