Hey Aggiebuckeye--where do you pull your information? The models don't verify your forecast. The weather service doesn't seem to agree. The 850 temps don't agree with you and neither does anything else. Maybe an inch in the northern burbs? I'm thinking an inch in the southern burbs...

I really think someone could get lucky and record 6 inches plus from Waco to College Station.

As for Houston, maybe an inch in the northern burbs.

I am thinking that too, (Humble-Kingwood) but as Wxman 57 says.. that can be total snowfall, not just the on the surfaces. I am sure the first few portions of the snowfall well melt.

Not a pro met: Just a weather weenie!!!

Thanks srain. Also, I like Candy Cane's thoughts on an inch for the southern suburbs...

Keep in mind that I'm just drawing lines. The 1", 2" and 3" line could fall anywhere. But it's ridiculous to think that 1" of snow will be a novelty for the Houston area. Just stop people...

You guys should toggle back and forth between hour 30 at 18z on the NAM and hour 36 on the 12z. The precip and cold have shifted even FARTHER SOUTH!

Snow, even the kind that just floats around and never makes it to the ground, is anything but an everyday (or everyear) occurence around here (especially in and around the loop). I am not trying to pick a fight--I enjoy your posts and respect your opinion. Also, thank you for the NAM update. It sounds like a good one...

Candy Cane:

It's called my gut, and it was right with the East TX snowfall albeit a bit light on my end. I look at the models and I take a look at the dew points right now.

Looking at the most recent runs, I think we can start to include the I-10 corridor in the accumulation areas.

I still think the far NW counties of SE Texas are going to get slammed.

lol @ Ed heavily analyzing the 18z NAM

of course it's wrong, as it is the warmest model of all of them. However, the main point to get out of the run is the shift south of QPF again

Who knew we'd see something like this for the second time this winter season? This is easily the best winter of my life living in the Houston area. I don't know how we'll ever beat 09-10.
