I'm in Stafford and work in SW Houston, Beltway 8 Westchase area. I can work from home so probably a good idea to just stay put? I usually get in early and would be able to leave early.srainhoutx wrote:Stay safe and stay off the Freeways and Beltway if possible tomorrow.
Since you can work from home, why risk this event over achieving current expectations? I continuing to see more and more evidence of mesoscale banding features developing around noon and continuing into the afternoon/early evening suggesting potentially higher precipitation totals. Typically we only get about 4 to 6 hours of advance indications where the heaver precipitation will fall. It does not take much ice to create a travel nightmare in Metro Houston from my experience of winter weather events in SE Texas over the last 50+ years. If I were in your shoes, I'd stay put... but that's me...mckinne63 wrote:I'm in Stafford and work in SW Houston, Beltway 8 Westchase area.

MoCo will go from frz rain/sleet and transitions to snow around rush hour. We could see an inch of snow, maybe 2 if a meso band sets up over uschristinac2016 wrote:I saw the list of school closings on the news. Just about every school district in Texas is closed. I live upstairs and after noon tomorrow, I'll probably be stuck inside like I was when Harvey blew through. What do you think Mont. County will have? Sleet/ice or snow?
Also, can someone explain mesoscale banding to me?
Pretty good description.TXStormjg wrote:My thought is is think of a squall line in a thunderstorm. Now, think of a squall line of snow, ranging from a few miles to three states long!!!
