The only possible good of cold air in winter is if there's snow involved. Otherwise, I'd rather have 100 deg temps in winter.

I am not being negative...I am being careful or the droves will come out of the wood work Wednesday whining about the biggest forecast bust ever.

While everyone on here is worried about snow amounts...the big concern is how people are going to get home on Tuesday when they go to work Tuesday morning with nothing happening. If it is 2 inches of snow or .05 of an inch of ice the impact on the roads is the same especially with temperatures as low as they are forecast to be. With meso banding I would not at all be surprised to see a few 6-8 inch snow amounts...but where this happens...your guess is as good as mine at this point.

Jeff I do understand that the timing with event should be of concern.Employers and school districts are gonna have to make some hard decisions.Rush hour traffic and winter weather events can't be good.

Take care everyone -

I'm a FUN-derstorm man, and want either semi-regular sea breeze storms this Summer, or a few decent tropical waves. I think I would wishcast up to a marginal Cat 1 hurricane.

mid 90s all Summer.


In a way, anything but a 2011 style drought...

I agree.....do we go in on Tuesday and leave early or not go in at all....I am hoping my boss(es) really look at this forecast and make the right call. I live in The Woodlands and it could be dicy going in.

I laughed today, because my sister is a big HOT weather person. I told her "we never get much winter weather here... I swear you hot weather people are so selfish "

It's not the end of the world, its going to be 70 Friday...

By late morning the roads may become impassible. Sleet and snow is likely during the afternoon, making the roads even more treacherous as temps fall into the 20s.

I'm certainly planning on working from home Tuesday. Seems like an easy call.
