Tracking accumulating snow for Wednesday evening
Road Conditions
Sun looks to be plentiful throughout the region, but highs remain in the single digits Thursday and winds stay blustery Friday.
In this Weather Wednesday we compare last week's snowstorm in the south to the Valentine's Day Blizzard of 1895.
The Great Gulf Coast snowstorm of 1895 left up to 30 inches of snow in and around Beaumont, Texas, and more than a foot and a half in Houston.
While not warm by any means, we have at least climbed out of the frigid below-zero temperatures.
In this Weather Wednesday we look into how the term 'wind chill' came to be and how it has evolved since then.
Record single-storm totals from across the Great Plains region suggest that snowfalls of up to four feet are possible, although rare.
Temperatures go from the teens below zero to teens above zero in two days.
In any given winter, the coldest temperatures have historically occurred any time between late November and the middle of March.
Much of the area remains well below zero for a blustery start to the week.

Running washing machines, taking showers can help prevent freezing.
When making a post on social media about how cold it is here, the wind chill number is used much more frequently than the actual air temperature.
