Re: Texas Winter 2018-2019
It's hard to get excited about the rest of this winter or the next for that matter. not believing any 2-week out models. lol
I was in Iowa a couple of weeks ago and saw more freezing drizzle, sleet, and finally snow (3" worth) in 48 hours than DFW has seen in 4 years... combined.
The chances for wintry precip go way down when the true arctic/siberian fronts become such a rarity, for TX anyway.

yeah, same for me last year in NYC
and I'll pretty much believe it when I see if we get any frozen precip before the winter is over around here
I struck out this year for various reasons and I'm definitely bitter about it but I'm moving on and already definitely going somewhere snowy next winter... enough of this

Re: Texas Winter 2018-2019
That high on the EC is massive. Wouldnt a high that big coming down into the plains cause at least ice/sleet for much of the state? I cant remember the exact term for it, but something similar to what happened last year December here in Central and SE Tx. Who am i kidding, its not going to verify anyway.

That’s the strongest high I’ve seen on the Euro since last winter, I believe.

Last time I saw snow on the ground was in March of 2015 in Cleveland. I haven’t seen the fluffy stuff in way too long.

Re: Texas Winter 2018-2019
The high still looked to have the cold moving southeast, so it would probably just miss us again.
My parents have now had the first above normal snowfall year in Kansas probably since we last saw snow. Just needed some more cold to get that further south.

Re: Texas Winter 2018-2019
*Not joking* as crazy as it sounds... I was literally going into depression with the lack of snow I have seen. Prev I lived in San Francisco. I have no snow in my past.
So i took a very last min trip for a day to Denver area this past weekend.
Now my mood is happy for at least for now LOL
It was actually very hard driving in these conditions and on snowy roads!

Nice pics! It's when you visit these other places that you realize (snow wise) how terrible the South really is. Most of the US averages 25" or so as a whole but in the South most is less than 3". That 1-3" is barely a passing cloud for other places but makes or breaks life here for a whole winter! Makes it somewhat special but it's a constant battle for some wimpy inch or two .

I know it was so crazy in NYC when it snowed... life went on, nothing was closed, people were out like any other day, it was the strangest thing
around here you know it doesn't even have to snow to close the schools, like in Alabama/Georgia the other week

Re: Texas Winter 2018-2019
Early 0z model guidance looks cold late next week. Wouldn't it be something if some of our coldest temperatures this winter occurred in November and March?

Brunt of the cold seems to be going more southeast instead of straight south towards us.

Re: Texas Winter 2018-2019
And it's snowing AGAIN in Las Vegas...... WTH.
A friend of mine who lives there just posted a video taken about 45 minutes ago.
They get snow 3x in one year, where it snows once every 5 years on average....
I'm done. Bring on the 90 degree temps

Re: Texas Winter 2018-2019
What? Giving up on winter already? There are still four weeks to go. Interesting comparison of 240-hr panels of the Euro (top) and GFS (bottom). Euro indicates a Canadian front in southern Kansas, which the GFS does not. Both indicate another front from southern Florida to the Yucatan. I would tend to believe the EC over the GFS here, though neither likely is going to get the forecast just right this far out. Both indicate cold air over Texas around March 4-6. However, it takes more than cold air to get winter precip - you need some kind of upper-level disturbance to move across Texas. Euro indicates a feature over southern NV and northern AZ at 240 hrs, something that could cause precip across Texas around the 4th-5th.
What are your chances of seeing some snow up in the D-FW area? I'd say somewhat higher than seeing a low of 65F in mid July in Houston (avg. low is 75F).
