L.A. is facing hurricane-force winds and wildfires today while Dallas braces for up to 8 inches of snow. Yes, fly to Texas to see it snow.
Here at home, snow will come in dribs and drabs. No one big knockout snowstorm but rather a parade of clippers. A coating Thursday night, maybe 1-3 inches Saturday night into Sunday, a couple of more inches the third week of January?

No major snowstorms on the way, and a January thaw is still more than a week out.
