What would the timing of that be on Thursday? Hopefully we wouldn’t be in for another day of limited travel outside of maybe overnight Thursday. Temps seem high enough to thaw things out during the day Thursday/Friday.

Keep moving south!
Yes please. Anything to get less ice in the area.

The 12z gfs doesn't look bad for your Austin area and Houston either. There is still a great shot up there.

12z Euro definitely increased snowfall across se texas, 4-6 inches on 06z run to now 5–9 inches across a good majority of se texas, and that falls on top of ice and sleet

Hi, do you have a graphic? This close to the event, do you think there will be significant changes?

Let's see if this a trend.

Still hoping it shifts back west, but looks doubtful right now.

Euro shows temperatures around 9 degrees on Wednesday morning in Houston due to the snowpack. This is a legitimate possibility if 6 inches plus of snow falls and skies clear.

If there was wind with the front, did it calm down after the front went through?
I have a steady 15mph NW wind with gusts to 25mph.
NW 17 G 31.

At this point you want the advection to bring cold into place. Keep in mind, the cold air is coming in in pulses or waves.

rgem looks similar to the euro precipitation wise, the euro keeps us below freezing on wednesday as well, heck the euro only gets us to about 36 degrees thrusday afternoon, that still not warm enough to melt things quickly, temps go below freezing thursday night so we may still have icing problems

I'm still not 100% sure where the heaviest corridor of snow will be. It could end up along I-10, or it could be north of Highway 105. Its going to depend on the placement of the Gulf low. Once we get in range of the HRRR and WRF models we will be able to better define where the transition line will setup. Whoever ends up in the deformation zone will get the heaviest accumulations of snow.

Where is the best case scenario for that low To set up at for us to avoid a warm nose and get the most out of this

Yep - that is correct. It's pure NOWcasting and luck.
