February 2021: Arctic Outbreak/Warmup Begins

[jasons2k]

Well folks, I’m about to layer up and head outside! It’s about to be a blizzard here and temps are plummeting. Almost down into the teens here now and wind chills are about 5 to 10 degrees! The snow is right on my doorstep and I’ve been waiting my whole life for this moment! We’ve had snow here before but nothing like this! This will be near blizzard conditions!

I just ventured outside for a bit. My gosh - that wind. Cuts right through you. Hoping we can get to all snow soon. After all this - come on now!

Enjoy it Cpv! I was out late this afternoon walking the dog and with the wind, it already had the feel of being on a snow covered mountain.

Hard to tell but it does look like light snow/mist here in NW Houston.

Fascinating to watch the snow wall out west heading in our direction. What I have circled in blue under the mesoscale discussion is what I'm watching. Currently all snow and will be interesting to see if the intensity of it holds as it pushes ENE. If you have radarscope, you can play it from the KEWX radar and this would move right over much of Houston metro between 2-5am.

Also, it's really juicing up out there and the winds are fierce.

What a night!

Late December back in '63

Love seeing those plumes coming in from the Gulf to Corpus and merging with the system out in San Antonio as it fills in the radar moving ever closer in our direction. It’s coming folks.

Yep starting to fill in nice, it’s coming

Radar shows there should be something falling where i am but I looked out and didn’t see anything falling. When is the heart of the snow supposed to fall? Woodlands near Budde rd.

It's filling-in, but the big snow wall is a couple of hours away.

I still can't wrap my head around the fact that it's 22F outside, it's snowing, and the wind is howling. I didn't think I would see this in my lifetime.

Im so confused my app says moderate snow shower in katy but im looking out my window and dont see any snowflakes?

[DoctorMu]

Still getting drilled by sleet in CLL. Wall of snow is so close. Glad to hear areas around Houston and Beaumont are seeing snow. It's hit and miss.

15°F; DP = 10°F; NW 25 G 30 Still sleet with a very stubborn warm nose. Come to papa!

Reporting in from Nassau Bay area. Sounds like sleet and rain. Ice forming on building.

I told me wife to stop looking at the d*mn phone Wx apps.

[jasons2k]

Wow, it's 24 in Port Aransas. The vegetation destruction is going to be unimaginable.

[Rip76]

Man it sure looks like it may pull up NW of Houston. I’m looking at the lift as well.

[Belmer]

Not snowing here in Katy, yet. But absolutely coming down in sheets with sleet. By far the heaviest sleet I've ever seen. Had a heavy sleet event in Oklahoma when I lived up there back in 2013, but nothing like this.
