Freezing line looks to move through Decatur and Mineral Wells here soon. Should be knocking on your door before you know it.

The freezing line runs from Bridgeport to Ranger.

Keep in mind it started in the Texas Panhandle this morning and this has all been during the daytime.

As the low deepens and drops south, and as the front sharpens over the state, you can see the winds over the DFW Metroplex take-on a more due-northerly component. The drier dew-points will start working their way in soon, and then freezing temps will quickly follow.

I am down to 34.

I expect things to slow down here fairly soon, but I will say I looked at the flag at the again-packed Kroger (looked worse than yesterday) and it was showing a due north wind here.

I can’t believe how fast this sleet is accumulating.

Freezing line is barreling down 35 and pushing in from the west. We should see freezing temps showing up here soon in parts of Denton and Tarrant Counties.

So I guess there is a warm nose up there, shucks (saw the balloon earlier showing none).

It's a sleet/snow mix now, mostly snow.
I guess I had a slight warm nose, a little more than Norman, but the warm nose is collapsing as I speak
