Please give me the url where you're able to see the forecast before it makes it to the official NWS site. Thanks...

Lots of silence noted on this board right now from the meteogram department as this potential event draws near.

We had an unofficial but very believable 22 degrees here in northern Grimes county.

If your job is outdoors and requires har physical labor, then yes, this is better than 85*.

And... What's a "paper"?

Extrapolating the current speed, I would expect it to pass CLL by 2:00 PM tomorrow. Unless it does a major slowdown. What I'm also watching closely for is the orientation of the front as it approaches. If it's NE to SW, then a line of showers might pass quickly through with little accumulations. :c...

Passing through Waco at 9:35

From what I've been seeing/hearing, this cyclogenis along the long wave was not expected. If it's happening, woulldn't it both slow our frontal passage but potentially make it more intense, storm-wise?

Radar data suggests the front is nearing Canadian and heading S at a decent clip now... ...And the orientation seems decidedly ENE to WSW, and with it beginnig to bang into the current dewpoints, I'm hoping the predicted rainfall accumulations fall short of what actually occurs. A few unexpected 1&...

Wow.

You could be in Siberia today and tell what kind of weather day Houston is having, just by the lack of activity on this board. Pretty nominal and unremarkable.

Wx-Man-Fifty-Seven is sleeping right now. But he will likely scroll back to all these pro-snow posts when he awakes, and will pile a layer of dooky on anyone hoping for a white wednesday morning. But hasn't tonight been fun without naysayers??? If no Happiness happens, wasn't it fun to frolic in wis...

When the 'bullseye' is almost on top of your house... life is good.

WSW for HGX CWA? Maybe the counties up around Madisonville and CLL that border NWS FWD, IMHO. Maybe one more row of counies South of existing FWD counties. More likely a WWA. Light snow in the air with mid 30s temps and making grass and streets wet probably doesn't trigger much. Maybe as close as H...

HGX predictions in the morning: They will continue to ignore the trends of wintry precip in SE TX, as the forecaster on duty will be late for his tee time. A three sentence discussion will then be written, and the same absolutely ridiculous forecast of highs in the 50s next week will stick. I would...

Just checked 12Z GFS sounding forecasts for IAH. The model suggests cold rain changing to a mixture of rain and sleet as the precip ends Tuesday night. With that pattern, I couldn't rule out a few snowflakes but I don't see a snow "event" for Houston given the latest data. If a Weather Ex...
