I looked at Doppler radar and notice an area of rain in the Gulf of Mexico. It is barely visible.

Normally about this time I would start wondering what the Canadian and Euro runs will show, but as others, including the esteemed wxman57 noted, it is time to forget about the models and watch what develops. Between NWS forecasts for area-wide accumulations, mets like Norman coming on strong, and good indications from water vapor imagery, I would say we are headed in a very positive direction.
They look the same as they were at 12z when the NWS made their updateEd Mahmoud wrote:

I'm not a pro-met, no professional rep on the line, I hope my pessimistic outlook busts huge. I want 4 inches of snow.
Just saying, so far, 0Z models are a buzzkill.

I have a prediction. I predict an 85-95 % chance that the next 48hrs will be fun for weather people like us. Stay warm and enjoy the ride.
No rain, no rainbows.
From the statistical analysis I did, days that have 1 inch or more snow had average temperature barely above freezing.

Hey, I was wondering if you knew if there was a sort of list of the average temperature at the beginning of snow events in Houston?wxman57 wrote: Don't know about that, but I do remember quite a few snow events here and in south Louisiana over the past 50 years, and temps now and tomorrow will start out colder than in most of the events I've witnessed.

Just frustration over high bust potential. 2 inches plus of snow and no school Friday, first two cases at any KHOU GTG are on me in gratitude.
There is always high bust potential in any forecast and even more for snow. That adds to the fun.
