SOUTH EAST FANNIN,,,,,,heavy snow and its starting to stick

[SouthernMet]

One of my many concerns I have for tonight/monday/Tuesday is areas in the metroplex have had over 2.5 inches of rain and it may refreeze overnight tonight and that will be potentailly hazordous to travel for tommorow morning's commute.
And im following the potential for light freezing rain and freezing drizzle stay tuned.

According to NBC it should be chaning over pretty soon

Hard to get ANY snow when the moisture has been cut off and has all moved on...oh well..

[northtxboy]

can I post pics of the snow on here?? if so how?

[wxman57]

how come snow if falling in places but it doesnt show on the radar?

Actually, the radar doesn't necessarily detect snow. Many radars use an algorithm to differentiate rain from snow (or sleet) that relates to the nearest reported surface temperature. They assume, for example, that precip falling with a surface temp of, say, 32-33F may be sleet or mixed precip, while precip falling with a surface temp below 32F is snow. This doesn't work very well sometimes, particularly where rain is changing to snow.

ya I was thinking the same about the radar cause its really snowing hard here but the radar says it raining

It's raining here in Weatherford and 36° (was 39° at 1 a.m.)

Is there anything worse than a really cold rain????

Don't even start, bro ... don't even start. I have a litany of "cold rain" stories.

Got a little colder than expected here in SE Texas. I'm at 39.4 here in Tomball. Not a whole lot of temperature variance between here and N. Texas at the moment.

Same here. 41 degrees and some light rain in southwest Travis County.

[srainhoutx]

38 here in NW Harris County with light precip. Portastorm is mighty close to the Cold Core Upper Low, maybe a surprise ice pellet or two for him.

[SouthernMet]

Collin County Regional Airport at 9 am reporting Heavy Snow Fog/Mist 34..
Temperatures droping elsewhere. Watching radar/temperature trends... Will get back on that

Actually the GFS 2m temps predicted this...I didn't think it was right. Yesterday's 12z GFS.

I don't think Austin was ever mentioned for snow...

[HockeyTx82]

Rain snow mix outside my window!

[Kelarie]

Sleeting in Texarkana, coming down steadily.

[Ntxw]

Yeah looks like the changeover is happening in collin county and the northeastern counties. There's still a lot of heavy precip to our west, if it can happen quickly who knows.
