Re: Texas Winter 2022-2023
I want to cry right now. Just got back from one of our (me and my two labs) favorite walking trails in my neighborhood, it's mostly tree lined. I saw such much devastation. So many beautiful majestic trees either completely destroyed or seriously injured. Even trees with trunks as large as a foot in diameter were snapped. All these wonderful trees that gave us shade in the scorching summer now gone. I honestly cannot recall a more widespread weather disaster in my 39 years here.
If I never experienced an ice storm again it wouldn’t be soon enough.

Terrible news. Here is a clip I came across from one of the local Austin Mets (Tomasco) discussing the amount of tree damage and it being comparable to a CAT 2 Hurricane. Brutal for the region.

So sad to hear about all of the devastation over there. I can't believe how many people are still without power this many days after the ice storm. Praying that the recovery and restoration efforts go well in the coming days.

Around 76K still without power, it's much improved compared to over 200K yesterday.

Re: Texas Winter 2022-2023
Going forward (next two weeks) active southern branch that hopefully provides a few opportunities for rain across areas that are in need of it. No true arctic air around during that time period.
Pattern may begin to shift again toward the middle to latter half of the month with some signs of a negative EPO setting up. Trough develops again in the west with another SE ridge fighting in between. Pretty good consensus right now among the ensembles hinting toward that possibility. MJO also signaling toward moving back into the colder phases around the 17th-18th so definitely the time period to watch as things look today.

There are so many people out right now cleaning up and stacking brush. Had a roofer come by. He said no damage where limb hit. It fell off roof a few hours after. My chain saw broke though. So I'm in limbo until my yard guy comes Wednesday. I was more fortunate though. Only lost power for a few hours Thursday, and just need limbs cut so I can haul them to curb.

Re: Texas Winter 2022-2023
JB is a smart man, but he hypes more than anyone mainly to get ratings and subscribers. If this ssw comes to fruition, it most likely will delay spring but be too late to provide winter weather for us unless March is outrageous cold, which has happened before. I would like a decent snow event if we can get it.

Re: Texas Winter 2022-2023
Some pretty significant changes on the 00z GFS that should pull the rainfall totals back westward into the I35 corridor.

Yeah not sure about wintry weather but it's definitely looking like a wetter pattern in general which nobody can complain about

There could be some by the end of the week, but even then, the impacts are too limited because of warm ground temperatures and marginal snowfall temperatures.
If there can't be snow, I will take rain over dryness.

Yes it does...and really liking the look at the end of week 2 GEFS - cross Polar flow with PV reforming over Hudson Bay. Euro ENS similar.

The MJO has been constructively interfering with the ENSO base state, but that should change as a swing through 4/5/6 should favor a wet period for Texas. Then maybe we will see Nina fade, setting up a wetter Spring season for Texas. Overall, the fact that we are coming out of a 3rd yr Nina and not dealing with massive drought across Texas is pretty fortunate.

With that SE ridge setting up, not sure I want cold again. Yay, ice storm again. Seen this record already. Lubbock NE gets the snow.

This is a pretty spicy 5-day leading up to that. There will be plenty of cold air in WCAN to setup an eventful end to Feb & start to March.

We know from 2003, 2014, 2015 that late February early March can deliver the goods in a big way. Not just with snow and sleet but some frigid cold as well. Ntwx has pointed out numerous times look out for the "20th" an thereafter and it does appear February will be no different. Hopefully the cold will be deeper and the SER can get pushed back a couple hundred miles. It that happens look out.
