First post...over here to the East north of Beaumont by about 30 miles...light mix temp right at 32 degrees. Wind still cranking out of the North to Northeast. WEATHER CHANNEL NAMES THIS STORM KRONOS...STORM CONDITION FOR HOUSTON EAST A 7/10. Now The Weather Channel does not name a bust! LOL. Local Met / Greg Bostwick isat 90% thru tomorrow morning. Says a transition to all snow likely after midnight north of I-10 and 3:00am south...he is pretty conservative so I will give him credence.

We've had on and off sleet for several hours. Elevated roadways and bridges here in the metro are all pretty much iced over and dangerous. Numerous roadways closed in the north part of town due to their elevated structure. The closest snow reports have been in Lampasas. No snow in Austin yet. But the sleet has already made traffic a nightmare and the APD and Travis County Sheriffs are begging people to stay off the roads.

Hmmm Dew Point at IAH is 33 and the temp is 35. Will the dew point drop as well?

well couple that with some CAA then things will fall into place. nothing was supposed to happen here in Houston area until after midnight anyway.

my interpretation is that the development will occur south of I-10 but then what develops will work northward

I was gonna stay up to see some sleet/snow since I live north of I-10 a bit....but now I think I'll skip this event because it won't be anything to see (for me that is).

Had a feeling this was gonna happen.

Jealous of those that got snow! lol :lol:

<========= just learning here so I'm asking stupid questions so here goes ???how do we know that the freeze line passed us and if it did will whatever precip that comes over said area will be frozen correct?

Well, sleet or snow can occur if the surface temperature is either above or below freezing. So in a situation like this, when the freezing line passes, nothing will magically happen to the precipitation falling from the sky at exactly 32 degrees per se.

The main difference is that once the air temperature hits 32, ice will begin to form on exposed surfaces. That's the biggest change that will occur once the freezing line passes, but it's not instantaneous either.

The best way to know if the freezing line has passed is a thermometer.

Light snow...that sounds so nice, I think I'll say it again...snow...here now in northern Grimes County. Temp down to 31, with dew point at 30... so seemingly ideal conditions assuming the column is totally subfreezing.

Thankful to have gotten any at all... but I won't complain if it continues all night. :)
