Yep I have friends in north Austin reporting snow falling. This is good news for everyone from central to SE TX hoping to see some snow tonight and tomorrow!

You wouldn't let me ... thankfully!

Still nothing at my house in southwest Travis County but it should only be a matter of minutes the way the radar is lighting up.

The ULL sure does appear to be kicking the crap out of that dry air now, and the dry air does not appear to be putting up much resistance. At least, that's what it looks like to my untrained eye.

Thanks! Looks like the north part of Texas is filling in rather nicely. Little worried about South Texas, though... still looks quite dry...

It's lighting up fast! Just an hour ago there was nothing. I'm also in SW Travis. Where abouts are you?
