Ya, how about no

It does have snow mixed in too though, especially away from the coastal areas.

So why would there be snow further away from the coast if every where is below freezing? Warm nose maybe?

Brazoriatx979 correct, the closer to the coast you are, especially if there is a coastal low, the closer yoy are to that influx of warm gulf air, hence the warm nose is greater near the coast which is why it would be more ice/ sleet than snow, the further in land you are, the warm nose will be much weaker or non existent which is why you see more snow for in land counties on that euro run

I get it..but also would the placement of the gulf low have an effect also? Closer to land the better the warm nose..further away the less chance?

[Stratton20]

Brazoriatx979 yup, if the coastal low is too close to the coast, it would be either rain ( depending on temperatures) or freezing rain for more in land counties, if the coastal low is further off shore ( though not too far offshore because it could rob moisture) that would be a better scenario for coastal counties to see snow , it really is about timing and placement, which of course is always a challenge down here

Yes. Actual air temps aren’t going to be the issue here. But if you get a coastal low closer to the coast, you could be looking at freezing rain in 24 degree temps which will snap everything.

Ya, how about no

This would cause serious power outages which could be devastating because of the cold air

[DoctorMu]

Waiting for the 12z, but Euro Euro who can I turn to?

No excuse really. Arkansas and NC see this every year. July sucks a lot more power.

The grid hasn't been connected between west and east Texas...or Texas and the rest of the US.
