I think .05 to .20 of ice is a reasonable scenario for se texas, heaviest accumulations should stay to our north, roads will be impassable for sure, but dont think power outages will be as big of an issue down here compared to north texas

Right, except he was talking about the “metro area.” He should have been more precise with his wording.

This event for us could get down to nowcasting. Two camps atm. We were supposed to make a call on it today, but that was when things seemed a bit clearer. All of the mets were on board. Even wxman. Looking at things this evening, we are literally going to do the same song and dance. Noone can pin it down. All together boys and girls. Believe what you see.

I remember in Dallas we had ice cycles the size of an arm. Then it snowed on top of that. I'll never forget that. This is when Harold Taft was still alive. The night before he said Dallas was going to miss out as it passes north across Sherman. That is the first and only time he got it wrong.

Friendly reminder that even the short-term forecast can bust.
The wind was supposed to shift today and I was supposed to get up to 71 degrees.

Well the ‘warm front’ got hung-up to the SW, and we got stuck with a high of only 61 and a NE wind.

That’s a 10-degree bust today.

I posted this screenshot on S2K.
Always helpful look upstream. Frontal-genesis is rapidly taking place as the cold air begins to spill south along the front range. The freezing line is into Oklahoma, well ahead of schedule.

I'm telling y'all the backside is where the action will be... when there's moisture on the northerly flow. Too much gulf being dragged into the system on the front end.

Storm #2 on the 30th...

[Stratton20]

DoctorMu yeah that system might be more of a snow event, but we will see about that when we get there

[oleander]

Lol. Metro Houston isn’t getting 0.2 inches of ice accumulation. NWS has all rain through Monday.

It’s still kinda early in the ballgame though to be honest.

Also, not sure about where you are, but I’m still under a winter weather watch in Wharton County.

You can tell who is a veteran at these events and who isn’t. I have to tell certain customers,who come to this board and the other so they can schedule manufacturing or installation based on weather, which posters to ignore and which ones to pay attention to….

Exactly ! You're one guy I pay attention to. Bourbon drinker and no BS. Thank you!

The freezing line is now in the NW Texas panhandle.
