Already? Dang, I'm gonna have to check the forecast. My daughter will be thrilled. And once again I'll get 60 digital pics in my email with my daughter holding it in her hands and writing on peoples' cars. Sucks to be in Houston (land of the Brown Christmas).

Accuweather is always off on it's forecast.....I live in Kennedale so I see the same forecast as you and I can tell you that they are mostly wrong.

But it would be nice to see snow this early...

[Valkhorn]

No, they pretty much go by the GFS guidance in their long range forecasts.

They're forcasting some freezing rain Wednesday night as well for me in east central MS, and it's been in the forecast for a few days already.

Seeing as how this next storm or two will put down some snowpack, I wouldn't be surprised if a little cold air made it down here again just in time for some moisture.

Accuweather is forecasting ice/sleet for next week just north of here and the temps in Lafayette are supposed to be very close to freezing with chances of precip...I hope this forecast holds but knowing accuweather it's gonna change drastically!

NWS New Orleans is talking about the cold air coming next week.

Yes... it looks like the cold air is gonna head south early next week. The NWS Offices in Missouri, Arkansas, and Kentucky have been hinting at it. The Tulsa office seems slightly out to lunch.

How far south it comes is the question...
