			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here in the Dallas, Texas area we saw record snow fall yesterday. The snow began around 3 AM and did not let up until after I went to bed around 1AM. The National Weather Service station here in North Texas released this bulletin regarding the event:<span id="more-177"></span></p>
<blockquote><p>Statement as of 5:38 am CST on February 12, 2010</p>
<p>... Greatest all-time calendar day snow on record set at Dallas Fort<br />
Worth...</p>
<p>... Record daily maximum snowfall for February 11th set at Dallas<br />
Fort Worth...</p>
<p>... Greatest all-time 24-hour snowfall total set at Dallas Fort<br />
Worth...</p>
<p>... Record 24-hour snow for February set at Dallas Fort Worth...</p>
<p>Dallas Fort Worth Airport recorded 11.2 inches of snow for February<br />
11... 2010. This breaks the greatest calendar day snow on record.<br />
The old record was 7.8 inches set on January 15... 1964 and January<br />
14... 1917.</p>
<p>Obviously... .this shatters the record daily maximum snowfall for<br />
February 11th... of 1.4 inches which was previously set in 1988.</p>
<p>The greatest all-time 24 hour snowfall record was also broken from 4<br />
am Thursday to 4 am Friday. The new record is 12.5 inches. The old<br />
record was 12.1 inches set January 15 through January 16... 1964.</p>
<p>This also breaks the record 24-hour snowfall for February which was<br />
7.5 inches... set on February 17... 1978 and February 25... 1924.</p></blockquote>
<p>They also released this notice:</p>
<blockquote><p>Statement as of 4:10 am CST on February 12, 2010</p>
<p>... Snow event one for the record books...</p>
<p>At midnight on February 11th... dfw Airport had recorded 11.2 inches<br />
of snow. This breaks the previous daily record for February 11th of<br />
1.4 inches set in 1988. This also breaks the previous 24-hour record<br />
for February... 7.5 inches on February 17, 1978 and February 25, 1924.</p>
<p>At 4 am on February 12th... dfw Airport had reported a 24-hour<br />
snowfall total of 12.5 inches. This breaks the previous all time<br />
24-hour snowfall total record of 12.1 inches set January 15-16, 1964.</p>
<p>The snowfall total on February 11th is the greatest calendar-day<br />
snowfall total on record for Dallas/Fort Worth. The previous record<br />
was 7.8 inches on January 15, 1964 and January 14, 1917.</p>
<p>This brings the seasonal snowfall total to 15.7 inches... which is<br />
the 2nd highest seasonal total on record for Dallas/Fort Worth. This<br />
is the snowiest winter in 32 seasons (since 1977-1978).</p>

<p>And yes, it is very unusual to see this much snow. However, this does not disprove climate change no matter how much your little republican conservative heart wants it to.</p>
