Texas Winter 2017-2018

Light drizzle here at work in southeast Austin off 290 and Parmer. I'll be here till about 1 a.m. It is not frozen on my car yet but I just drove it 1.5 hours ago. Lifted my windshield wipers anyway. Though I think I shoulda left them down in case the arms freeze solid in the bent position.

HRR is stronger and stronger we shall see lol

33 degrees and a light mist beginning to fall in Wharton.

It only took a few hours of some light freezing drizzle and now we have accidents galore in the Austin metro area! Hey, we're not the Freezing Drizzle Capital of Texas for nothing you know?!

But more seriously, our general area is under a Winter Weather Advisory until 7 pm. No surprise. Freezing drizzle continues at the Portastorm Weather Center as well.

Notice how dewpoints in the Austin metro have come up to the temp compared to the 15 degree deviations further up north along I-14.

I really hope it changes over to snow soon. We don't want any ice...

Radars struggle to pick up drizzle.

I wonder why the snow hasn’t started popping up yet

I’m North Austin right now and not much showing on radar but it’s definitely still drizzling out there.

My weather station in Harlingen Texas is showing light snow / mist. Hmmmmmm

Still coming down here. Nothing on radar.

I've noticed that the clouds have gotten pretty thick and dark. Some hanging down a bit too.

It was a bit surprising to me that the WWA was only issued until 7 pm.

Light mist just started falling in NW Harris County with my temperature sitting at 32F.

I hope this isn't another event where the precip just turns out to be freezing drizzle instead of light snow like the models indicate. Remember that happened a few years ago as well. Not fun.

Is Wxman bringing out cold Bones?

NWS anticipates that the freezing drizzle will end by that time. Granted the ice which has accumulated won't be going anywhere this evening but I think we are supposed to clear out, cloud-wise, overnight. Given that and drying conditions and minimal precip falling, the process of sublimation will probably make us ice free by tomorrow morning.
