[font=Arial]The wintry forecast has been expanded to include the Dallas/Fort Worth area. Many of us have to protect our vegetation, especially our recently planed areas. Also on Easter, kids are gonna have to wear gloves while finding their easter eggs as the wintry precip continues through that day.

Channel 11 forecast from this evening's newscast:

Still hard to believe we are seeing something like this in April...

Just hit midnight and I am at 56.5-degrees. Looks like that will be our official high today (though most will never know it since it will be in the 40s this afternoon), and thus no record low high temperature for April. However, we will still have a shot on Sunday if the high can remain below 51-degrees (which it might).

i am sittin at 56.8... and windy!!!!!!

Extremeweatherguy · #205 Postby **Extremeweatherguy** » Sat Apr 07, 2007 12:35 am

I have dropped another degree within just the last 30 minutes (now down to 55.5-degrees). If this rate continues, then I would expect a possible drop of another 13-degrees from the current readings overnight. This would equate out to lower 40s for my area and mid 40s for places such as IAH by sunrise tomorrow.

Looks like snow is already starting to break out in north Texas...

This is actually a bit earlier than expected in some places up there.

Nothing icy here yet in Austin but geez is it cold and wet ... 37 degrees and light rain.

Extremeweatherguy · #212 Postby **Extremeweatherguy** » Sat Apr 07, 2007 10:26 am

I have fallen 5-degrees in the last 25 minutes. I am now sitting at 42.8-degrees and it continues to drop!

I just wanted to report heavy sleet at fredericksburg with a temperature of 34 degrees....Truly amazing considering on Monday we were at 88 degrees.

Extremeweatherguy · #214 Postby **Extremeweatherguy** » Sat Apr 07, 2007 10:39 am

Thanks for the report! Still hard to believe that areas of the state are getting wintry precip. right now.

That must be a sight double D. And yes that is amazing. Only in Texas, right?!

It was snowing lightly during my kids soccer game this morning. And it was cold.

KatDaddy · #217 Postby **KatDaddy** » Sat Apr 07, 2007 1:14 pm

Sleet here in Lafayette just a minute ago

Update still sleeting

hurrican19 · #219 Postby **hurrican19** » Sat Apr 07, 2007 1:35 pm

Sleeting here in Extreme SETX, was quite heavy about an hour or so ago.

Extremeweatherguy · #220 Postby **Extremeweatherguy** » Sat Apr 07, 2007 1:39 pm

sleet reports have been coming in from all over. The woodlands, Missouri city, Montgomery, Livingston, etc. Looks like we may all see something today. Also, reports of light snow have been coming in from the Huntsville area.

So hard to believe this is all happening in April!

BTW: I am currently sitting in the upper 30s with a brief break from the rain. The weirdest part though is that my temperature continues to fall even with no precipitation. I wonder if the NWS might have to change up tonight's forecast to a colder and more wintry scenario.
