A strong storm is being forecast. Everyone stock up with food and fuel and get ready for the blow. Travel will next to impossible. Extra feed for livestock. Park vehicles and tractors in accessible places in case use is needed.
Everyone be safe. White-outs and drifts can be dangerous.

Be safe. Just a mere 120 miles south we have rain. Although the forecast says we might have snow flurries tonight and tomorrow. But, no blizzard down here. Except for the Dairy Queen kind!  |

All is well on my end. The rain arrived in my area too far in front of the cold front to create much snow. Just lots of appreciated rain. A hundred or so miles north of me, they apparently had blizzard conditions with large amounts of snow.

Knowing your conspiracy thing against kooks, shark, that would be useless to ask where it is "your end", huh?) I mean the area on the pic attached below. Do you know it?  Attachments:

I've driven by that park before. Of course, being just north of the Boulevard, it's not the best place to stop and play. LOL

I'm about 30 miles east of the Martin Rd area.
The Boulevard is Amarillo Boulevard an area that has gone downhill since interstate highways caused traffice to bypass it. The motels and restaurants have turned into a haven for trash and hookers. Not a place to take the family on a Sunday afternoon.

Martin road lake and Gene Howe park are as safe as any park in town, day or night. It may be in a blue collar area but the people that live there use it and enjoy it just fine. Martin Road lake is stocked with fish as other in town lakes and except for a lack of shade is a fun place to fish. The area north of the lake has a extensive playground and a walking jogging track and always has people using it. There is also a 4 field softball complex and another playground area adjacent to the lake. Even the Blvd has been transformed in the last few years and little of it's sordid areas remain. In fact i would say that where 1oth street east of downtown used to be the heart of the barrio it is now Amarillo Boulevard and Grand streets.

I don't actually live in Amarillo. Outside of there. Others have answered the question pretty good though.

Yes, the answers are full. So the beyond boulevard area is a workers families` one and that's why "it's not the place to stop and play". Though, I have a better attitude to workers and blue collars. A really good white collar becomes a such one thru being a blue collar, while a blue collar is promoted to the level from workers. That's how I believe it should work.
In my city, there's a worker's area on the North. It was appeared around a couple of factories in there. And the area is considered to be "not the best place to stop and play", but it's relatively old and IMHO beautiful area with an architecture that isn't presented nowadays. And there are beautiful and kind people.
