This only works if the pic is hosted like on Imageshack right? It appears JGrin87 was trying to show a pic from their PC. I don't think attaching images is supported.

Did Ft. Worth NWS issue a report or a map detailing North Texas snowfall accumulations?

Yes.

No, winter's not over, but it does look over for the Dallas area. The snow with this system will likely be across extreme northern OK and southern KS. It looks like it'll be too warm in the lower levels while the precip is falling over NE TX.

If you read the previous posts, it's only been mentioned that chillier weather (temps) regarding disruptions to planting, not snow. It's pretty clear the winter precip is in far NW Oklahoma to the central plains. Where is snow for Dallas mentioned?

However, looks like these cold intrusions are setting up a more active severe weather pattern. Just need the Gulf to warm up a bit to get that going a bit more =P

Posts were read - nothing about gardening on this page at all, just mention of Larry Cosgrove's article talking about snow potential down to Dallas. That's not going to happen.

Not going to happen, huh?

Season statistics for DFW. I'm glad to have experienced it, probably won't see something like that in a long time again.

I was just coming here to post the same thing Ntxw. It was an awesome Winter for those of us who never see snow, and especially for those of us who grew up in the Deep South and hardly ever saw snow. Peace.

I think that as JB and others have opined, we're entering a more active period of time for a variety of weather events to occur over the next decade or so.

Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems to me that severe winters seem to run in clusters. Not necessarily back to back years, of course, but a few times within a decade. The 1970s come to mind along with the extreme cold events in 1983 and 1989.

Hopefully, for those of us that enjoy winter weather, another good season or two is lurking somewhere in the near future!

Also, I haven't glanced too far ahead, but there is often a last gasp cold front around Easter.

Any indications of that in the model pipeline?

Could be a mild and stormy Easter this year. It all depends on the speed of the storm\front progged to move through that weekend.

And I too believe we're moving into a colder period (weather pattern indications have said so). Even though it doesn't seem like it, the 2000s have been generous to us with snow (in Texas). if you include 2010, you average almost 40 inches of snow throughout the decade. The only other that comes close was the 70s. But to see another foot of snow from a single storm (at DFW) is very unlikely, but I can see how active winters can come along in clusters.

I am guaranteeing next winter < 10" snowfall for the season for Dallas, maybe less than 1.5".

If a la nina forms of any sort like they are predicting, you're probably right. But luckily for us, it only takes one storm to get us out of the miserable 0 . I have a gut feeling we'll have a lot more ice issues to deal with next winter season in the southern plains to mid south. Though the warm winters we've seen where 80s are common throughout Dec-Feb in Dallas and Houston I believe won't happen for awhile.

Gotta like this weather today though...

I hope we get some more next winter, but chances looks slim if we go to La Nina. Maybe more ice chances though.
