Thank you Harp. I just looked and there is a cold blast. Too early to tell and can change. Nice to see though.

Over 48 hours of ice/sleet in Oklahoma and nearing 3 inches of ice in north Texas, including Dallas? Ha! Let's absolutely hope that doesn't verify.
850mb temps barley go below freezing past OK/TX border. No frozen precipitation down here, would be just a cold rain.

Amusing to look at, but don't count on it. An event like that would absolutely cripple OK and northern TX for weeks and would not be a fun Christmas for those folks.

The 0Z completely loses it it. Not a trace! LOL!!!

More beautiful weather across SE TX with slightly warmer highs after a chilly start this morning with temps mostly in the 30s and low 40s except 51F on Galveston Island.

I see the possibility of a volatile weather pattern shaping up next week across the Region. The ensemble guidance suggests a deep mid latitude trough across the Plains and several disturbances as well as cold fronts arrive every couple of days. While nothing extremely cold jumps out in the medium/longer range, my hunch is the Western Pacific Typhoon and a wobbly Stratospheric Polar Vortex may shake up the upper air pattern across the Northern Hemisphere.

Best looking run of the Euro I’ve seen in quite some time for SETX.

Well it doesn’t really have any major cold, but it has a good rain event for us next Wednesday. About 1-3”
