I saw a graphic showing the average first big snow isn’t until January in Kansas. So if it’s that late up there we can’t expect much here lol. It will get cold. Any precip is bonus.

Exactly my point other than a dusting on December 22nd in 22 there's been absolutely nothing here in December for years. I don't have high expectations for December 2nd and just look at it as a bonus if we do get something

We need to get cold first which has obviously been the big problem lately I mean we're still on track for one of the hottest Novembers on record here. Well worry about the snow later

Heck some years when it's snowed early its never snowed again anyway :lol: I'm not even convinced it's a good thing if it somehow did

Heck in 2022 that was the only real snow we got. The snow hole doomed us in January and there never was anything else. Id rather wait

Some of our most memorable winter weather events in DFW have been in December though. Cobblestone Ice event 10 years ago, the 2009 Christmas Snow, I remember a New Year's ice/snow event in the late 90's and the early 90's Thanksgiving ice storm with the football guys slipping and sliding around.

Interesting point but one thing I can't get past is the fact that our biggest snowstorm ever before Christmas on November 30th it never snowed again the entire winter :lol: one bad ice storm in January and that was it. Kind of weird. I mean to be fair there was enough snow that storm for our average but still weird

It's been such a weird weather year though who knows... Nothing would surprise me at this point :lol: nothing has gone like expected I feel like. Heck I'm shocked our first freeze was like right on schedule. It's been about the only thing normal the last few months. I gave up counting how many days we've been above normal since we had those 60s in August :P

And the Euro had an ice storm to start December up here :spam:

I know it’s been discussed but can any point me to a good home weather station? The current one I have is crapping the bed. Thank y’all.

I think the gold standard is Davis, but they seem slow to innovate with the times. For what you get for the price, it's frankly a joke.

I use Ambient Weather, the WS-2000, and it's been great since 2022. I don't clean out the rain funnel as much as I should, probably once a year, and it's fine.

100% agree with this post. I've had both.

:double: the chatter about Arctic air is definitely growing here. Even most of the people who said no are caving.. it's still 9 days out!!!

Also today is the first below normal day we've had in a very long time

Oh and before that the better rain Sunday Monday looks to be towards DFW again

And Thanksgiving weekend looks amazing. Very fall like. The cold air is not before next Sunday at the earliest

Got it thank you. I have the WS-2902 think it’s the step below yours. I didn’t mind it but could never get it to connect great to the WiFi (I live in a place without fiber internet)

Look into an ASUS router the standard routers never have enough range. An ASUS router gives you much better range.

Good grief the GFS has a 70 degree spread across the state here to start December :eek: :double: the model signal on this front is pretty crazy looking

OKC TV station had highs near and below freezing with a chance of frozen precip two days at least

How much thunder is expected tonight? Saw a map showing tons of lightning but the NWS wording focuses more on showers and “maybe” a thunderstorm or similar wimpy wording.

I need to plan to medicate the dog that reacts to thunder lol
