Freezing line runs from Georgetown to Centerville now. Secondary surge moving past the DFW metroplex now will arrive here later today.

Moving on to next weekend! No issues for metro Houston. Woman57 said “possibly” a very light glazing on bridges and overpasses and “nothing on surface streets.” Just as I had suspected. At least the grocery stores around here did well this week lol. Looks like temps are busting to the upside and significantly warmer than had been forecast in the Tyler area.

Remember, what may or may not happen in your neck of the woods does not speak for all. Where I live, we still have impending frozen P Type issues that still can occur

I’m from that area and my brother lives there.

Looked at the temp, and nope, it’s below where it was supposed to be right now by one degree.

He says the streets are white and cold is overperforming. Their downhill slide into the low 20s starts later this morning when the core of the cold arrives in wave 2.

And wxman57 is one guy who is speaking to HOUSTON PROPER. Lindner thinks this may go to the high end if it goes convective and there’s a decent shot at that. There are several who say otherwise. This is going to be a major event for several of us. If you’d like to move on to next weekend, please do, exit this thread and head on over to the February thread.

And for the love of God, stop saying metro Houston. That implies suburbs of Houston too. If you want to say where you live downtown or HOUSTON PROPER, then your statement might be taken credibly. Otherwise, you kinda sound uneducated when you speak in absolutes and really have no clue.

Temp down to 35 in Weimar. Was supposed to be 42 right now. 97% humidity so time to watch DP fall.

May beat my 3 pm guess for freezing here.

Don’t shoot the messenger lol, someone on storm2k said they’re in south Tyler and it was 32 when it had been pegged to be 23 at the same time. As to metro Houston, I’ve lived here all my life and in my circles we all understand Metro Houston means inside the beltway. Memorial, River Oaks, Tanglewood, The Heights, Bellaire, Third Ward, etc. Not Spring, Katy, Cinco Ranch, First Colony, Sugar Land, etc. I’ll be sure to specify inside the beltway from now on lol.

Don’t you just love it when people declare some sort of victory before the battle has even started?

If you live inside the beltway, why wouldn’t you based on Lindner’s latest ice forecast maps?!

Inside the beltway is the “inner belt”

Much like the DFW METROplex, Houston metro refers to the 7.8 million people in the following counties

Key Counties: The area includes Harris, Fort Bend, Montgomery, Brazoria, Galveston, Liberty, Waller, Chambers, Austin, and San Jacinto counties.


And why I get frustrated is because I send vendors and clients here and Storm2k to get info, and they get conflicting info and then I get texts at 6 am after a night of solid bourbon drinking. I’m ornery because I get to go coach 5th grade basketball a tad hung over this morning 😆
