Re: January: Strong Arctic Front/Winter Storm Warning/Adviso

It's been a couple of hours since I've checked in. And forgive me, but I'm still learning the lingo...but from what I've read what DP just said, snow is now as big of a threat as before. Darn! I wanted snow. Also, I've noticed the weather mets on tv have been a little more conservative - this mornin...

I did this morning on the weather cast. The forecast was a high of 28 for Houston.

Re: January: Strong Arctic Front/Winter Storm Watch Issued

i'm having to log off now and go to work. will check in around lunch time. By the sounds of Jeff's update, the snow probability has gone down - and I was looking forward to some snow. I look forward to reading the pages when I break for lunch. Come on snow! :D

Re: January: Strong Arctic Front/Winter Storm Watch Issued

Good morning. I finally read through the 10+ pgs of posts since I went to bed last night. Interesting information. Sadly I missed David Paul's forecast last night - would love to have seen it. I'm not sure what to expect tomorrow (morning and/or entire day). As many have posted, we'll just have to w...

Re: January: Strong Arctic Front/Winter Storm Watch Issued

Srain, THe thing that worries me the most is people getting stuck at work. Do you think the mayor will ask people and business to stay home and closed tomorrow or is that to risking for her to do incase it is not as bad as we are saying?? I live in The Woodlands but work on 1960 - I am not sure I w...

Re: January: Strong Arctic Front/Winter Storm Watch Issued

I've had enough hot weather to last me a lifetime. Yes, I know I live in Houston. I laughed today, because my sister is a big HOT weather person. I told her "we never get much winter weather here... I swear you hot weather people are so selfish ;) " It's not the end of the world, its goin...

Re: January: Strong Arctic Front/Winter Storm Watch Issued

It seems our employers will have to make a judgment call, even if you make it in, it could put you at risk going home. I agree.....do we go in on Tuesday and leave early or not go in at all....I am hoping my boss(es) really look at this forecast and make the right call. I live in The Woodlands and ...

Re: January: Strong Arctic Front/Winter Storm Watch Issued

I've asked a couple of other meteorologists and nobody can remember the last time we had two winter storm watches out for the Houston area in a 4 day period. Maybe the 70s? Either way, pretty unprecedented. The closest I am thinking are 1973 and 1985. January 1985 had three ice storms, while Februa...

Re: January: Strong Arctic Front/Wintry Michief Early Next W

I'm with MontgomeryCoWx - I'm loving this weather. Someone mentioned the 1973 event....surely it's not possible for that to happen with this next artic blast....not that I wouldn't welcome it. It surely has been several years since we've had this much winter weather....the more cold weather, the mor...

Re: January: Arctic Front Thursday & Winter Storm Warning

went to bed and woke up a few minutes ago to "check" on things. I think it's still liquid for me - when will it transition - and the weather channel app says it's not freezing yet in my area. Is that wrong? It's funny that Rayford Sawdust can have ice and I still have liquid. Maybe like so...

Re: January: Arctic Front Thursday & Winter Storm Warning

this reminds me of some years ago......not 2011, but much earlier. It was raining just like this and I stepped outside after dark, my steps up to my apartment were already frozen. While I was asleep, I heard the transformer blow and when I woke up later, everything was covered in ice. :o Do you rem...

What part are you in? I'm in The Woodlands - have been listening to the rain, but haven't gone out to look (of course it's dark) to see any sleet. I'm going to have to keep a close eye since I am expected to be at work in the morning.

Re: January: Arctic Front Thursday & Winter Storm Warning

Has the rain chances decreased? Last night at the 6 pm weather, DP gave a 50-60% chance today and a 60% chance tomorrow.

Re: January: Arctic Front Thursday & Winter Storm Warning

I am prepared....stopped last night and got some "bad/winter weather" food! After reading everything on here (which I think I need a crash course in understanding all the lingo), and watching a certain weather person this morning, I think they are still being conservative on the temps. I'v...
