Texas Winter 2023-2024

[Itryatgolf]

All of the teleconnections go negative after the 11/12th, this pacific air will eventually get flushed out

A key teleconnection is the epo/wpo. If they go negative, definitely watch out! Cross polar flow can happen

I love ice and snow as much as anyone on this board, but these last few days in Dallas have been absolutely glorious. My kind of January thaw for sure. Bring on the next round of winter!!

Itryatgolf EPO does look to go negative after the 11th

Had to crank up AC to max what terrible weather!!! Can't wait for next day below freezing.

Finished the month of January with 9.53” - a great start to the year.

My temps today were 43-77 and mostly sunny. I’m loving this weather. I could bottle this up and repeat it all year.

Hit 79 here today, absolutely putrid, cranked the AC all the way down to 60, and that felt amazing!

[Cpv17]

Man, I’d hate to pay some of y'all's electric bills.

May through September I would take it.

After the partial failure of my Red River wall earlier this month that allowed temps to reach 20F in Houston, I have fired the crew who helped build it and hired a new crew. My new wall will be about 500 ft wide at the base and extend to about 3000 ft up. It will be the best wall yet.

Tear down the wall! Please allow the cold air to come in.

Again, I know this is fantasy land, but oh my goodness…

My wife has a cousin in Monterrey Mexico. Snow chase 10 hours south? Hmmmmmmm.

8.64 inches of rain this month in CLL.

High 80°F; Low 39°F IMFY. As long as that air stays dry, it's cool at night and no A/C comes on I am good.

Still looks like some action near Valentine's Day - any wintery mischief will confine itself to (well) north of Hearne. Even IF there is cross-polar flow, there's a lot of brown between here and Canada.

In a heartbeat.

[Stratton23]

Dukemu way too early to speculate where any wintry mischief may occur if any, but the pattern showing up on ensembles could easily support a southern winter weather event, its a good pattern especially with a pretty healthy snowpack to our north

[snownado]

Loving the weather this week (70s and Sunny)!!!

[snownado]

Man, I’d hate to pay some of yalls electric bills.

I had my heat on 90*F from mid-January up until week. Finally turned it down to 80-85*F.

I'm liable to cry when I open my bill...

[dhweather]

46/77 yeterday in Heath, 3.72" of liquid gold in January.

[wxman57]

Wow! All this whining about highs in the 70s?? One of you has the AC at 60, another the heater at 90. Ours is always set at 73 during the day and off at night with the bedroom window open a bit (a very tiny bit when it was 20 deg). I was finally able to get out on my bike and ride just over 20 miles yesterday. It was 74F, so I still needed an insulated long-sleeve jersey, but it didn't feel TOO cold.

Good to see that the one-time GFS forecast of 1+ inches of snow in Laredo at hour 384 has gone away. You can trust the GFS in winter at that long range as much as you can trust its hurricane forecasts at day 16. After the 12Z run yesterday, I fed the new wall data into the GFS (Canadian wall reinforced, too). Here's to a nice, not-so-cold February, followed by a return to 80+ weather!

[cstrunk]

Yeah some of y'all are crazy with your thermostats. I can't imagine having my AC set to 60F or my heat set to 80+F!

All the locals are complaining about how high their latest electric bills are. $250 here, $400 there, and how about $600 over there! And I'm over here at $45 for electric and $40 for gas this last month. I guess I don't get to brag about how high my electric bills are since I don't have a 4,000 SF house... guess I'm living wrong. LOL

Cold finally starting to show up on the ensembles for North America but unfortunately, looks like core is Northeast...the 500mb orientation and subsequent trajectory looks much different than Mid January!
