Texas Winter 2020-2021

[WinterMax]

So I'm over here in south Louisiana between Lafayette and Alexandria. I bought a house in the summer, it's on a slab. The outdoor faucets just kinda protrude out of the walls, maybe 2 inches. I plan to run those, but really no way to wrap them. Should they be okay?

My prediction for Sugar Land (only for the first event):
I think we will have more moisture than the global runs are showing.

4" of snow tonight
Tuesday morning low of 3, this all depends on how much snow is on the ground. I'm going full jinx since i believe we will have more snow on the ground than models show, hence a bit lower temp than they are predicting.

I have an official weather station in my backyard, 30 ft up. Will give reports tonight as the storm rolls through.

Just north of you in Cinco Ranch so I’ll be looking forward to your updates!

Jeez. The wind sounds like 2 cats fighting right now. Massive wind gusts. Super chilly.

I’m in the Baton Rouge area and I wrapped my protruding faucets in strips cut from an old blanket, then I covered them with a small plastic bag and taped it in place.

Today is the day most of us have been waiting for a long time! Please enjoy it and stay safe. It's going to be a fun 24 hours!

Update near Tyler.

Roads are covered in sleet from over night sleet. Currently near 25 degrees and light snow flurries.

Grass, trees, and roofs are moderately iced.

And we are getting ready for the good stuff coming...

I’ve got 1” IMBY all snow. Rest of the forecast holds true, 4-6” is the target.

Light snow has begun W of Austin. Light though emphasis on that. Still a ways to go

This will be one for the ages.Stay tuned...the rollercoaster is starting right now as moisture starts to spread this way....

More light/moderate sleet rolling through in Longview.

Closer to 6" . One of the rare snows where pavement has more accumulations than the grass. This constant light snow may not seem like much but it gets us a head start.

I had some foam strips for doors and windows they are about an inch wide they have a stickey back to them. Our outdoor faucets stick out about a couple of inches as well. We just wrapped the faucets a couple of times.

Winner. I remember sitting through this with my mom when I was 4 years old.
