Sounds right... That blocking high moves over Alaska around the 1st

niiiiiiice for our friends along I-20... hoping I get to see some goodness in Longview

Hopefully a cold January...

Looks like some blocking occurring starting next week on some models. Please, please please.

thinking we could see another 1-2 inches at the house... that would be phenomenal and would make this month one of the top 10 wettest months on record if memory serves correctly.

From Shreveport AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SHREVEPORT LA 307 PM CST TUE DEC 20 2011 .DISCUSSION. BOTH THE EURO AND GFS CONTINUE THE SUPPLY OF UPPER DISTURBANCES...BUT THEY WIDELY DIFFER IN HOW THEY PROGRESS THESE DISTURBANCES. FOR THE CHRISTMAS WEEKEND SYSTEM...BOTH MODELS EJE...

[*]Too early? Anyone want to start taking shots at our first experiences with 2012?


Here's to a brutally cold and wintry begin to 2012!

Christmas Eve.....

I'll be in Weimar Christmas Eve Night and Christmas Morning, then to CS then to Longview on Christmas... Hoping NE TX can get that freeze line to inch farther east.

They should be fine at the surface.

Someone please give me a strong El Nino for a couple winters in a row. That would be nice.

I got 1.5 inches of rain at the house in Conroe.

Now, if we could only have that same amount of moisture come in snow.

yep, I'm getting the hell out of Houston for a couple weeks in January and going 'Severe' Winter Weather Hunting... Probably Colorado, but I may go into Montana or Washington and look for 72 plus inchers deep in the mountains.

so what you're saying is there's a chance....

I'm traveling Christmas Eve Night from Montgomery to Weimar, then from Weimar to Longview on Christmas Day so that snow on twisterdata maps would make for a picturesque drive.

yes, I was referring to JB and Cosgrove.

Chinese Weather Centre is predicting a cold January and February for the U.S.

I have my doubts, but thought it was interesting.

Thank you!

I should have prefaced that I was talking about January and not actually New Years Day.

A few promets out there are noting a 'major stratwarm' that will cause a severe cold outbreak for much of January. They are relating it to the winter of 1984-1985.

Anyone notice the GFS Long Range Models? I'm just a weather nerd and not a professional by any means, but its looking to be a cold New Years!

Any of you promets seeing this?
