Texas Winter 2020-2021

[EnnisTx]

Ah well, I was hoping for a major icing event in DFW, guess it wasn't to be. Probably for the best, but I was looking forward to it. Perhaps it's a bit premature to call the whole thing off though, thoughts on the odds of some decent accumulation overnight?

Let's hope the system Sunday and Monday holds up at least.

Why would you hope for something that will most likely end up with someone being severely injured or killed in an accident not to mention the power lines that come down with a major ice event causing thousands of people to be without power in possible single digit temperatures. That's all before the damage to homes from broken water lines. Hope for a nice big snow event not major ice.

Oh boy, here we go, models giveth models taketh away. Ice Bust for NW of DFW tonight? I give up on Monday too.

It's not really a bust. The key here is that temps were going to run colder than guidance a risk if icing was possible. If it was a little warmer it would be freezing rain which was concern but for North Texas it's colder so sleetish/grains which isn't ice storm criteria unless you get oodles of it. It's not a lot of qpf to play with any way and could have been a surprise event.

ICON is coming in a little faster (amped) thus snow starts earlier in parts of Texas (perhaps bigger run here?).

Brutal One Two punch Monday and Wednesday...each look like 4-8 inch snow events

[EnnisTx]

Not sure about everywhere else, but we have a fairly heavy drizzle that has coated exposed surfaces and the street is fairly wet and starting to become slick. It doesn't take much to become treacherous. Hoping that no one ends up losing power from this before the real stuff moves in this weekend.

Is that a snow shower in Dallas/Carrollton I see?

Fox 4 saw snowflakes apparently somewhere they said on the news

Here’s the 10:1 Snowfall forecast, expect a little higher ratios than that

I will gladly accept that one two punch.

I have 110.6 inches! Sorry for the folks just west of me with only 11

I'm actually almost halfway between Longview Regional Airport and Gilmer so I'm probably at 38F at my house. I don't think I'm going to make it to 32F, but the other towns I listed above probably will.

Another decent shower moving in. No lightning so far.

32.5 and just had some nearby lightning and loud thunder in Hideaway.

We go through this discussion with every major weather event, be it extreme heat, flooding, tornadoes, hurricanes, ice, snow, etc.

Someone is likely to die. Property is likely to be damaged. People will probably suffer.

But that's just life and some weather weenie who is in awe of mother nature isn't going to change a damn thing by wishing for the weather to be worse. We have no control of it. We're just interested in watching crazy weather events.

You might be in a sweet spot for some ice tonight... If the models are to be believed.

ICON is such an insane run for cold and snow, like you just don't want to believe it. Literally only 1978 can do that kind of snow.

Yep, looks that way, all depends where the bands set up. Temps won't be super cold but they will soon drop below freezing. Not loving the idea of kids stuck at home tomorrow, 4 day weekend then school canceled by multiple snow events next week.

Why doesnt the icon give the coast anything? Should I not hope for anything here in Victoria?

[Wntrwthrguy]

Not a fan of how the Icon run shifted heaviest snow totals north. Still a long way out to be focused on how much at any given spot but hope it’s not a trend.

Temps for Tuesday morning. Falls to singles Sunday evening and hovers there until Tuesday.
