I fish tailed on the way home... Scary.

33F and nothing. Enjoy all the sleet N and E of Houston for me. Cant complain since we had the 2004 Christmas Eve snow.

srainhoutx, How much more Moisture can we expect?

The heaviest accumulations look to be off to our E in East Texas and Louisiana. That said the precip band continues to slowly sag SE and there is some lift approaching from our W associated with the upper low.

Hang in there brother. We shant not hog it all. It is still moving your way. Be patient.

Just rain out here in Fulshear, but some icicles are forming on the street signs.

Morning from Hobby airport...temp 32 and light to moderate sleet/sleet pellets with some freezing rain. Nothing sticking as yet to any above ground surfaces, but not far from doing so I believe.

Just reporting in..At work, 610 2 or so exits before reliant stadium..At the moment we are just started getting in the rain..Let's see if it gets cold enough to get anything!!

Thanks for the update guys!

[jasons2k]

Back to sleet/snow mix here.

[redneckweather]

So people south of me got to see snow this time. This is down right laughable....not!!! lol Moisture is pulling out of my area quickly here near Lake Conroe as dry air filters in which will shut off the precip. The elusive snowflake still has yet to be seen. Looks like it will be a LONG wait till I'm straining my eyes again. lol

[SusieinLP]

Heavy sleet now. Back deck is covered.

I know we just have to wait and see, but does anyone think we may end up getting Winter Storm Warning criteria this afternoon? Or do will the precip end in the next few hours and dry out.. I see the moisture west of us but wonder what will happen. Maybe a surprise?

[don]

moisture should move out before it gets to that point.

[JulieC]

Hmmmm.. I wonder if the school districts who cancelled school for tomorrow will have to cancel their cancellation. Lol

Update from Jeff:

Mixed winter precipitation ongoing across much of SE TX.

Freezing line continues to move southward and is bringing much of the area north of US 59 over under freezing. Temperatures have fallen into the upper 20’s and lower 30’s north of I-10 with freezing rain/sleet/snow accumulating on rooftops and vehicles. Numerous reports of sleet and snow accumulation across northern Harris and southern Montgomery Counties.

Treated bridges and overpasses remain in good shape, but road crews are sanding several location as a precaution all across the region.

Starting to see the back edge of the precipitation passing south of College Station and continues to look like ending times will be within the next hour north of HWY 105, around noon along I-10 and early afternoon along the coast.

Jeff reports multiple bridgesoverpasses beginning to ice. TXDOT sanding US 290/610/ Beltway 8 N

Just nasty, wet rain in Wharton County

[Kingwood31]

I think some ppl might be mistaken sleet for snow as it's falling..I've seen some video that clearly looks like sleet not snow

[Heat Miser]

Heavy sleet now. Back deck is covered.

Weird, just getting rain here in Friendswood.

[tireman4]

There is snow mixed in. Watch it closely as it falls. You will see it.
