I retract my statement. The 00z GFS drops all snow for Dallas and it’s suburbs.

We see this every year. Wash, rinse, repeat! The models are all garbage. Let's just rub some sticks together, throw them in the air and guess.... Hey it might snow.

Re: Texas Winter 2018-2019
Don't we see this alot with most snow opportunities? The models pick it up 5-7 days out and stay consistent and then lose it all 48 hours out?

Make sure you look at "Accumulated Positive Snow Depth Change" on Tropical Tidbits. All snow south and west of Dallas on the 00Z GFS run. That doesn't mean there couldn't be any snowflakes as the precip ends, though.

The storms haven’t been lost though. It’s just under 48 hrs the finer details have been resolved.
Last week a few on the board had been saying a coastal low in TX will prevent snow that far north. That’s exactly what happened.
This storm looks to be trending further south and a bit slower. The timing and location is not ideal for DFW anymore.
That’s kinda the problem with winter storms for us. We need a lot of things to work out right.
