Heat Burst

[Kurt Silvey]

EDIT:

It was January 4th, 1997, but after looking at the weather data, it was a gradual build throughout the day. Still, rather unusual walking out at night in January in short sleeves and shorts and throwing snowballs.

Not if you live in Nebraska :wink:

It is not uncommon for us to get a warm up before a big snow event. As the low moves NW from the four corners region the southerly winds carry the warm moist gulf air northward and then the cold front from hell, err … Canada, slams us, and you have freezing rain and instant blizzard. Very similar to our spring weather. Aren’t the plains great!
