Texas Winter 2017-2018

31 here in Keller with ice pellets.

It is so close!!!!

In Richardson, I'm now at 33 with a dew point of 32. That's down from 36 about 2 hours ago.

[JayDT]

Temps definitely dropping here in Duncanville... Car was marking 33 and 2 banks i passed by were also marking 33.. A while ago they were marking 36.. I know theyre not all that accurate but still means temps are dropping

Temps even in Dallas county are starting to fall close to freezing. This precip band is carrying cold air advection with it

[bubba hotep]

Sherman, Celina and Denton are all down to 30, the 30 line is now farther SE than the 32 line was earlier.

I feel like this is going to be a surprise event in immediate DFW.

Im in far north Dallas/Carrollton border this hour and car reads 31. Winds out of the northwest is pretty brisk

Seeing some of the pics from the west and north, you have to wonder if the large area of ice/sleet on the ground isn't chilling the air funneling south more than predicted. (armchair thoughts...)

I am in north Fort Worth and just heard that Azle schools are closing.

* Love this group - - I follow every winter and appreciate the information.

Can confirm in Keller that ice is starting to stick to trees. Back home about 10 miles west temp is still 32, but rose slightly from a bit earlier. Still going to be hard to have a big impact unless it drops below 31 or so. But, the 31 line isn't too far west. Sundown will help things drop slightly maybe....if there is precip around still (not sure what the forecast is for when it ends). I am more concerned for my wife, who works in south FW. If there is a surprise, she may not get home for hours. But, hard to imagine it getting so much of a surprise that the roads freeze.

Calm this morning in N. Dallas. Now a brisk wind out of the NW. I think a low is developing along the front and we're going to get some baroclinic action to bring down more cold air.

Wondering why no ice storm warning is being issued for Grayson. Ice is getting pretty thick and have already been power lines down and power is out at the house currently.

[ThunderSleetDreams]

Y’all rang?

[Haris]

Can any North Texans send me some rain that’s actually decent and measurable down in Western Austin ? Please !

Thanks
I have only recorded .9” of rain since Dec 19th

[Cerlin]

How does it look for Frisco and Carrollton?

[Texas Snowman]

Ice buildup continues in Denison. Maybe 1/4 to 1/2 inches on trees and power lines. Hearing some sporadic reports of power outages happening around town.

[rwfromkansas]

Temp now above freezing IMBY. Cancel the surprise storm...for now anyway. Temps are not falling anymore.

[CaptinCrunch]

BIG thunder in Tarrant Co over DT FTW....

[wxman57]

76 degrees at my office off I-45 south and BW-8. Front is moving at a snail's pace across Houston as the shallow cold air modifies. Contrary to what was stated in an earlier post, an ice storm is NOT better than no winter weather at all, when an ice storm is mostly freezing rain mixed with sleet. Power outages and dangerous travel are not good. A little snow is fine, generally. Freezing rain - not so great.

From Grayson County Scanner in the last hour:

“Numerous reports of tree limbs and power lines down coming in across the county.”

“Report of a power line down at Main and 902 in Dorchester. One person possible shocked. Howe fire and Sherman Fire toned out.-Roy”
