It's snowing in the Valley

Merry Christmas to all, and a happy White Christmas to all those folks in places that ordinarily don't see snow, like Louisiana, South Mississippi and South Texas. An inch and a half of snow in Brownsville? TWELVE inches in Victoria. Get out the videocams, gang. You're not going to see snow like this for a loooong time.
Thanks to Back 40 for this discussion link on The Newshour on what the changes in the forest rules mean. Again, on the surface this all makes sense, the devil will be in the execution.
