[Tammie]

The front just cleared Sherman!

I haven't even been watching radar and just realized my station at home has recorded .13 so already the most rain since Dec. 1. Lol.

Now next weekend really has my attention despite this storm being impactful , oh boy GFS and CMC…..

Let's go!

HEB area NWS has less than a tenth, followed by 2 up to .2, followed by less than a tenth. Bedford, TX could get over 4 tenths per NWS.

3km NAM gets frozen precip really close to Houston. Will have to keep an eye on temps.

Enjoy your snow folks! Next weekend is OUR turn!! lol!!

So are we believing these temps from the gfs that’s been consistently showing at or below freezing for dang near 6-10 days for parts or north Texas?

No big deal, Montgomery, AL checking in with 38 inches of snow.

Seriously, I went to a packed Kroger and drove home in the most rain I've seen in months.

38 inches of snow in the middle of Alabama, that is hilarious.

With a good "sleet pack", fresh Arctic HPs every few days and no significant west/southwest winds to really warm things up...I think it looks realistic. This will rival 2021 for parts of the state, just different dynamics

[orangeblood]

Wow, this CMC upper level chart looks phenomenal for late next week...can't draw it up much better for a Texas Snow Storm!!! GFS similar as well

[txtwister78]

Pretty bullish signal coming from the CMC 7 days out.

All these road treatments being washed away...

Those are ridiculous and ineffective in my opinion. If the ice and cold are there, nothing will stop frozen roads. It's just something for the cities and the local news to report.

AIGFS is a match, different pressure chart but upper levels look great!!!

Kansas seemed to be more effective since they used sand and salt (it helped that nearby my hometown there was one of the biggest salt mines in the country). That stuff wasn't as prone to leaving it seems as the liquid.

I may have to see if we can move our spa delivery to Thursday, but they wanted a few days to dry out the ground. But the snow potential on Friday is....interesting. I would love it since this will be more sleet though.

I suspect it's used, at least in part, due to liability and threats of litigation if they did nothing.

Only a handful of Texas counties are currently not under some sort of winter weather alerts.

Hopefully this snow/ice melt will make a nice dent in the drought that was becoming a bit alarming up here. Kill the weeds and the drought in one swoop
