Winter just started. Posts like these suck and offer nothing of substance.

I hope everyone had a MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Santa sure delivered some warm weather up north
It was in the 50's/60's - thought I was home here in Texas!!!

We could use some rain though -

The meteorological winter is Dec-Jan-Feb. We are almost 1/3 of the way through it. The annual minimums for IAH bottom out from January 3rd - January 24th (mean is 43F - 63F).

We will begin those lowest averages in a week from now. Average temps begin to warm again on January 25th.

What are we looking like tomorrow for Texans game time?

Cold/rain?

I’m aware and your post doesn’t address my sentiments. I’m addition, our most active winter weather timeframe (actual events) is from late January through the 3rd week of February.

I’ve lived here over 30 years and all 3 accumulating snow events for me happened in December. I’ve had zero luck those other months.

We are talking winter weather, not just snow. I had accumulating snow 2 Januarys ago. Can’t remember if it was 2013-2014 or the following winter but we had something like 7 events that Winter... mixed bag of stuff, but still.

You live in a bad area for snow, period. I’d bet my chances are a lot higher (albeit not great).

No but weve must recently had many of our ice storms that month! So February can be very cold. From what what I remember especially in 2011 and 2014.

Here in Wharton County we really didn’t have much ice from those events. The precipitation was so light here it barely even amounted to anything, but however, it was definitely very cold.

Last real bad, region wide ice storm was February 2011. 2014 had a good one I-10 north but the South side was just rain.

Picked up 1.32 inches of rain in Magnolia.

I figured it out.

Real uncertainty in the models for cold and winter weather ahead. Euro, GFS, Canadian all have divergent solutions.


Seasonable temps over the next couple of days. The sun is out, so enjoy the great weather.

Feb 1994? - ice

Jan 1996? - snow/ice

Dec 2004 (toward Houston) major snow

Jan 2007 - ice

Dec 2008 - snow

Mar 2008 - snow

Feb 2010 - snow

Jan 2014 - sleet/mix

Dec 2017 snow

Jan 2018 snow

Nov 2018 snow


Nov = 1
Dec = 3
Jan = 5
Feb = 2
Mar = 1

About what I'd expect. The Nov and March flukes were pretty cool.

I will saw the frequency of winter events in 30 years in this area of Texas is a LOT higher over the last 15 years than the previous 15.

Almost a perfect bell curve, peaking in January, just like our coldest temps.

Another beautiful day to end 2019.

I hope everyone has a fulfilling and safe New Year's Eve!

On to 2020...
