Texas Winter 2018-2019

Just had another decent sleet shower just north of Hutto.

Nice little band starting to form West of DFW actually. Gonna see if this one can overcome the dry air curse.

Echoes starting around Dallas proper. Need more saturation but it’s a positive sign.

I’m not seeing any that looks any different than it has...what radar are you using?

RadarScope on expert mode. The echoes aren’t around anymore but it’s a sign of more energy in the area at least.

Gotcha. I was using a lower quality one so that makes sense.

Why does TXDOT keep putting Brine on the highways in Denton County, I35W. Either they have some that's about to go bad or someone who works for TXDOT has a family member who own a Brine producing plant.......

[WacoWx]

Same thing in Dallas Co. earlier today.

Maybe thats why we cant get a snowstorm they keep jinxing it

[Cerlin]

I noticed when DFW had that freezing rain close call that there were a multitude of trucks lined up about a mile apart each on 121. They’re probably just trying to use their budget from the last 4 years.

I swear that is a curse. The last 18 times the brine mixture has been sprayed on area roads, nothing has happened!!! Total waste of civic funds if you ask me. I'm sure it works fine when snow or ice actually falls. But as we all know........that doesn't happen often.

00z DFW sounding is still realllllllyyyyyyy dry but almost the entire column just above the surface is below freezing. Anything that does make it to the surface would probably be snow, if anything can survive the dry air.

Funny, I think Brent, Cerlin and myself had the same idea at the same time.

Getting a nice sleet shower here in Tyler. Temp right at 32°

[Cerlin]

West of us has got stuff...east of us has got stuff...south of us has got stuff...north of us has had a fair amount of stuff this winter...?????

[bubba hotep]

Anyone notice the odd returns on radar earlier today in South Tarrant?

[WacoWx]

Probably a fire?

Nothing yet in Hideaway that shower just jumped arpund here. Gonna see if the next one can produce.

Roads in Rockwall were freshly pre-treated earlier on my drive home. Guess TxDOT has nothing better to do.
