Snow, sleet, freezing rain, record-smashing cold...welcome to Valentine's in East Texas.  Anywhere from 2 to 7 inches of snow has fallen in the area, and that's on top of a layer of sleet and freezing rain.  Plus, forecasters are rather confident of another ice storm dropping freezing rain and sleet on us by Wednesday.
