Looking to be ideal in SW Houston within a couple miles of I-10, with NWS calling for snow and only less than 0.1 inch of ice.

From the NWS statement this morning:

“Changes/tweaks made to the ongoing forecast include increasing snow amounts, especially n/nw of Highway 59 where fcst soundings show the warm nose eroding faster.”

The demarcation of along/N of 59 is what David Paul mentioned yesterday. Sounds like it may become a trend.

Also of note from Jeff’s note this morning:

“Latest global and short range models have increased the snowfall amounts across SE TX due to their showing of meso scale banding and higher intensity snowfall and sleetfall rates. Will bump up snow totals a bit and see if this trend continues.”

Another thing I want to mention is the possibility of "lake effect snow". I saw that in 83 and 89 off of the Trinity River/Upper Galveston Bay region and off of Clear Lake. Folks near Lake Conroe/Lake Livingston and Lake Houston might see some enhancement along the Southern and SE shore and down wind.

Well it's a step in the right direction I guess...20 mins ago there was no mention of ice or snow accumulation..

NOW... nws says..

New ice accumulation of around a 0.1 of an inch possible. New snow accumulation of less than a half inch possible."

NWS is saying Monday my area (Rosharon) will only reach a high of 22 but less than a half inch of sleet or snow. So, basically useless cold.

I feel ya...I'd rather it be in the 70s if we are not getting anything here which is looking likely by what the nws is saying for us

12z ICON now shows moderate to heavy snow down to the 59 corridor.This is going to be a major storm, this is basically a MCS (mesoscale convection system) with wintry precipitation instead of just heavy rain.

I had not even thought about wrapping my hot water heater in the garage until someone mentioned that here which I really appreciate. Unfortunately every single insulation blanket in Houston is sold out. Amazon can’t get here till Tuesday. What would you guys do if you had a hot water heater in the garage and a brick house?

If you don’t have a wool blanket I would use fiberglass bats unfaced(no paper on them). Look at some little hardware stores too.

Short term fix for a few days. There not flammable as long as you get the kind with no paper.
