Texas Winter 2021-2022

[Sambucol]

Ok, what’s next?

We may repeat what just happened valentines week. Noreaster followed by digging southwest trof behind it.

Any idea if the temps will be as cold or colder than what we have now with this system?

Too far out to tell, we can only guess right now, but we will have better details about the next system as it gets closer.

Ok, so who got what?

Denison: 1/4” of ice; 1.5” of sleet; 1-2” of snow; lowest temperature of 20 (so far).

One thing I find peculiar is that the gfs really doesn’t cool down the source region much even when the -EPO starts taking over again. I assume this something it may not have a great hold on this far out, but I figured there would be at least a run or two cooling it down more.

That's actually a good observation. It is not cross-polar flow with no ridge extension into Alaska. So caveat is, is it enough to generate cold air? Eps is a bit different up there and is a better pattern for it.

One thing I notice (with the GFS) is that the current cross-Polar flow indicated at 500mb is gone this weekend, and it doesn't return over the next 16 days. Of course, the GFS can't be trusted beyond 3-5 days, so who knows what's coming? I just hope that the temperature never climbs above freezing. Just got back from a refreshing bike ride. There are icicles hanging down from my eyebrows.

Who hacked into Wx57"s account?

[Quixotic]

Just broke my snow shovel on the 1’ pile of sleet on my doorstep.

Heh. I did the same with a round point shovel many years ago, also trying to break through sleet and ice. Except it was like 2" of the nasty stuff. Broke the point right off. I decided to let Mother Nature take over.

Yeah, my house doesn't have gutters (don't ask). Places where the eaves junction the snow/sleet/ice piles up big time. The one in my back yard is 2'. Not quite what it was in 2013 where I had to hike over it to BBQ. The wooden handle which is pretty stout just snapped as I was trying to get some leverage from brick to ice. I just sprayed a bunch of deicer so hopefully that'll do it.

I'm saying 6 inches at my apartment. Biggest snowstorm I've seen since i started really tracking in the mid 90s. I'm happy and the NWS did a good job here 7.5 at the airport and their first guess on Sunday had 8 for Tulsa!

But I just went out driving and its becoming a lot of ugly brown slush so I'm good with it starting to melt the sooner the better if it's gonna look like that

[Ralph's Weather]

Not near the foot of snow I had last Feb or even the few inches I had last Jan, but still a fun event to track. Moisture just was lacking once the coldest air arrived.

Any more cold shots showing up in future before it is all said and done? SE Louisiana missed out on the fun (not that I wanted ice) but even a few flakes would make me happy. Instead of just freezing when I walk outside lol

It’s possible around the middle part of this month. Not too confident in that yet though.

Yeah can’t even put confidence beyond 72 hours out these days. We could be in coats or shorts

1.7 inches combined sleet and snow in DFW. Record low tomorrow is 12. It will close.

no, just no....that would be the anniversary of Snovid 21....no, nope, negative...

[DallasAg]

Back above freezing at DFW as of 2:00p. Let's get the thaw going. Hopefully some thawing and drying of the surface streets will make tomorrow morning less treacherous.

Shaded areas will probably be a problem until Sunday morning though.

More like the Anniversary of the Cold Wave that defined the first 1/3 of 2021.

(NOTE: Not intended for criticism, the part of 'Cold wave that defined the first 1/3 of 2021' just sounds better & makes more since since it was the biggest even of the first 4 months of 2021)

My neighbor filmed my youngest and I. He has lived here 17 years, said he's never seen this before....
