Good company.

Brent ! You here? 12z Euro brings us almost a foot of snow this weekend

[Cerlin]

12z GFS starts to entertain the idea of a significant NTX ice storm starting on the 22nd, and could possibly be shaping up for a late February snowstorm.

While I would love 5 inches of snow (or the 50 inches that the liq equiv would bring in snow) I will take 5 inches or rain in a second. We need it bad.

Most of that rain is still beyond a week out although there is close to an inch on the euro this weekend

LOL. Once again the forecast has pulled most of the rain out but this time has kept the cool temps. It will be fun to see what it shows later this evening. This is actually getting pretty humorous.

Two days in a row now here in Austin where the majority of the models, including the short range/higher res models, busted badly on high temps. We've ended up 3-5 degrees colder than what most of them showed overnight. Only the WRF-ARW2 seemed to get it.

I'm telling ya ... if they can't get it right within 24 hours, I'm not so inclined to buy into solutions beyond 4-5 days.

More evidence that I really delivered on my promise last winter, though I suspect that your statement about the last time the DFW area had back-to-back below-normal monthly average temps may be a slight exaggeration. It's not easy bringing cold and ice to Texas with a strong La Nina raging in the Pacific.

At IAH, the temperature this month is runnint 1.6F above normal, which seems odd since it has been so persistently cold. I counted the number of 70+ high days so far since Dec. 20th and I got 13. Last year at this time, we'd had 49 days when the high hit 70+, and highs around now were in the mid to upper 80s.

yeah, its pretty strange when a normal winter feels way below normal. I think last winter it was cold here for just a 1-2 week period. Some recent year priors it went straight from fall to spring. I'll just take normal and hope the summers aren't brutal:-)

Actually it has not been a normal winter for Austin. This has easily been a colder than normal winter. December was a smidge below normal at 0.1 below the average mean temp. January was 1.7 below normal and February is a whopping 4.4 below normal thus far. So if it feels below normal, that's because it IS below normal for us!

I would have thought December and January were 4 degrees below normal the way it felt. We'll see how the rest of February plays out and if the 80s can be kept at bay..

Not a drought buster, but a least a nice start to one

[South Texas Storms]

The latest models sure are looking wet across a large part of TX over the next few weeks. Bring on the rain!
