Good morning bloggers,
Here is your 7 AM update on the snowstorm moving through. There are many school closings and we are staying on the air through 8 AM to keep you updated on NBC Action News. Travel conditions are worsening this hour. But, you will be able to get around. If you are going to work or must travel this morning try to leave 30 minutes early as it will take a little extra time to get around. Snowfall rates have increased during the 6 AM hour and some heavier bands of snow are now developing. Take a look at the radar at 6:30 AM:

And, it is cold. Look at the surface map from 6 AM this morning. It is in the teens all the way into north Texas this morning. This cold air mass will have a hard time being moved out by our next storm due in Thursday. We will talk about this next storm system later today.

We are expecting 2 to 4 inches of snow from this storm system in most areas. Your participation in the NBC Action Weather Blog is very much appreciated. Later today we would love to have your snowfall totals as we prepare our graphics for the weathercasts on NBC Action News. Meteorologist Jeremy Nelson will be going into the final stages of this storm at 11 AM this morning and then Jeff Penner and I will have complete details on this storm, storm #2, and another Arctic blast due in this weekend on our weathercasts at 5, 6, and 10 PM. Meteorologist Brett Anthony is off this week.
Have a safe and great day! Look at the wild ride of weather that continues on the blog at www.LRCWeather.com
