Well........we don't

I'm fairly confident that most of you in the Houston area will see it snowing this evening. It may start up by Bush airport in a 2-3 hours. You might see your snow before 6:38pm, houstongirl. Once it starts snowing, the surface temp will drop to 34-35 degrees, allowing it to stick for a bit before melting. Might snow hard enough to measure 1/2 to 1" even in central Houston. But the temp will rise a few degrees when it stops, and it'll melt overnight.

On the south side (Hobby area), the snow won't start until 2-3 hours after it reaches Bush. With a higher surface temp, the snow won't hang around as long. But you should still be able to make snowballs with the snow on cars. Slushy wet snowballs.

They have 150+ page threads when the temperature is forecast to reach 90 degrees.

Wxman, how bout us?

E-mail update from Jeff @ 2:15...

Moderate to heavy snow falling at College Station and just switched over at Huntsville.

Radar shows a large area of high reflectivity over Waller and Montgomery Counties and this is likely sleet/snow/rain mix with all snow ongoing NW of this line. Based on pictures below CLL has likely an inch or so on elevated surfaces. Also had reports of IP in Austin County in the last hour. Appears rain/snow line is from Austin to N of Brenham to between Huntsville and Conroe and inching southward.

Based on observations areas under the SN+ bands are quickly accumulating 1-3” and then it is melting as the snow slacks off.

I just want snow, dry or wet. Snow is snow.

Moderate sleet at onset of precip, now all rain.

get your cameras ready...it wont last long after it stops...I hope you guys up north Harris get some good accumulations. I had mine on Dec 4th....

Temp down to 38 now in NW Harris County. Light rain/and some sleet. 2 degree drop in the last 30 minutes.

YAY! It's snowing BIG flakes in New Waverly! Now, if I can figure out how to post some pics...

Temp has dropped almost 3 degrees here in the last hour or so with the onset of huge flakes......enough to stick on the roof of cars and bbq grill. The current temp is now 37.8 and still dropping fast. Now has changed to a sleet snow mix but left a dusting here on the grass. The biggest snowflakes I have seen!

Just talked to my daughter in Huntsville coming down hard sticking to the cars and roofs.

I'm really hoping and praying that the upper low can find some kind of way to tap into Gulf Moisture or this event will be over in the blink of an eye....DARNIT!

Big Northside, where do you live?
