Statement as of 11:31 AM CST on March 06, 2008


... Snow Advisory continues for Johnson... Ellis... Kaufman... Van
Zandt... and rains counties...

... Winter Storm Warning in effect until 6 am CST Friday...
... Snow Advisory no longer in effect...

The National Weather Service in Fort Worth has issued a Winter
Storm Warning... which is in effect until 6 am CST Friday. The
Snow Advisory is no longer in effect.

As an upper system moves across North Texas... heavier snow bands
will continue to develop across western North Texas. Snow will then
spread east into the metroplex this afternoon and into northeast
Texas this evening. Snow total amounts of 3 to 5 inches are
expected in an area running from Eastland County eastward across
the metroplex and on into the Sulphur Springs area. Near the Red
River up to six inches are possible. Snow will taper off in the
early morning hours in the west... to near sunrise central and
east.

A Winter Storm Warning means significant amounts of snow...
sleet... and ice are expected or occurring. This will make travel
very hazardous or impossible.

Well, this is only my second Texas winter, but I imagine that 5 inches of snow here would be like the end of the world...

DUDE MIKE GO BUY WATER!!!
AN BEER

Yeah, I better go to the grocery and buy enough milk and bread to last me 3 weeks...

Last I heard, it will warm up to the 60's this weekend. Anybody have experience in what this will do the fishing for this weekend. (late cold front like this, followed by another warm up).

Should I plan on the carps and buffs biting at all?

I wasn't fishing for carp/buff last year at this time, so I thought some of you might have experience?

Don't bait the area heavily and use a high attract bait like pineapple boilie. Depending on where you go try some white bread on a hair rig.

Spicy baits work good this time of year.

Yep, it's confirmed; Texans are a bunch of wienees! You call yourselves fishermen & then complain about a couple inches of snow. Come on up to Colorado with me this time of year and we'll go out and cut a hole in the pond so we can find the water!!! Now if your willing to do that on a day when it's -15 F, you have the right to really say you're a fishing addict.

Regards, & Good Fishin',

Llindex, In defense of my fellow Texans...

I was born in Dallas...but I've lived all across the country, including CO, UT, WI, and MN...And I can deal with enough snow and cold for the vast majority of our state, hehehe.

I've been ice fishing in -17, and had a blast doing it.

cold dont bother me none, i'd rather fish when its cold, unless im fishin saltwater

Those snow warnings are why I moved from Massachusetts to south of San Antonio. BTDT and have no desire to ever do it again.

BTW, been following this board for about a month. Don't always agree with the politics (anti-bow fishing, C&R only, etc.) but I'm real intrigued with the prospect of fishing for one of your favorite beasties. Anyone in the San Antonio area willing to try to teach a novice the ropes?

There are a couple of folks in the San Antonio area who could help you out, Inept.

Big Ted comes to mind first. Big Ted, think you'd be willing and able?
