Looks like the back edge is at the I-35W corridor, roughly Denton to Fort Worth, so we have maybe an hour left in the metroplex. Enjoy it while it lasts!

Snow still coming down at a moderate clip. It is a beautiful winter weather sight. A snow frog was made at the office, will try and get pictures.

Lost in the news here is the beneficial moisture this week and continuing into the weekend/next week. Some good soaking rains overnight.

Should put us ahead for the year so far.

The roads and sidewalks here are now covered with snow. Still coming down with big fat flakes. Not a bust here in east Texas. Sorry for those who didn't get snow. Maybe another chance later?

Not lost to me - over 1" of rain in the last 3-4 days. February had been pretty dry up until the last few days. Models look promising for some more rain, maybe another inch or so in the next week.

.UPDATE...
WE ARE CLEARING THE ADVISORY FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST
PERIODICALLY THIS MORNING AS THE BACK EDGE OF THE PRECIPITATION
ADVANCES SOUTHEAST. THE CORE OF THE UPPER LEVEL LOW ENDED UP
TRACKING JUST SOUTH OF THE I-20 CORRIDOR AND THAT IS THE LOCATION

SNOWFALL TOTALS OF 2-5 INCHES ARE EXPECTED JUST SOUTH AND EAST OF
THE METROPLEX...IN A BAND FROM ROUGHLY NEAR HILLSBORO TO TERRELL.
SO FAR THE HIGHEST REPORT WAS OVER 3.5 INCHES IN WESTERN NAVARRO
COUNTY. WE WILL CONTINUE TO SEE ADDITIONAL MESOCALE BANDS OF
MODERATE SNOW SHOWERS DEVELOP ON THE BACKSIDE...OR NORTHWEST SIDE
OF THE UPPER LEVEL LOW THROUGH THE NEXT 2 TO 3 HOURS. THIS
ADDITIONAL ACTIVITY SHOULD PRODUCE NEW SNOW TOTALS OF UP TO 1
INCH IN MOST AREAS EAST OF A SHERMAN TO MCKINNEY TO MESQUITE TO
WAXAHACHIE LINE. THE FAR EASTERN ZONES MAY NEED A SHORT HOUR OR
TWO EXTENSION OF THE ADVISORY BUT WE WILL WAIT ON THIS DECISION.

CLEARING SKIES WILL RAPIDLY OCCUR FROM WEST TO EAST TODAY WITH
SUNSHINE EXPECTED TO BREAK OUT AS FAR EAST AS THE I-35 CORRIDOR BY
EARLY TO MID AFTERNOON. ANY SNOW ACCUMULTIONS SHOULD MELT AS
TEMPERATURES WARM INTO THE 40S...WITH SOME 50S LIKELY WEST OF
I-35. SOME GROUND SNOW WILL PERSIST INTO THE EVENING FOR AREAS
OVER THE EASTERN ZONES THAT RECEIVE MORE THAN 2 INCHES.

WE WILL BE TURNING OUR ATTENTION THIS AFTERNOON TO THE FORECAST

NOT OVER JUST YET.

I wanted to make Tireman jealous, and I couldn't really resist it. Went for a 5 mile jog in the snow. Was awesome.

:uarrow: Saturday afternoon sleet under southerly flow (warm advection). Not a snow event. I think NE TX is seeing its last snow of the winter today.

Yeah yeah yeah. I had to bike in the humidity today. 20.69 miles...at level 12. I wished it would snow here in Houston. Great run, by the way. I have a 7 miler today at 5 pm.

I'll be surprised if it even sleets. Days are getting longer, it will be harder and harder to get any more wintry weather.


Still snowing at my house, so I'm good.

The snow was just waiting for me to crash and take a nap! We got about an inch of snow down here on the Hill. I woke up randomly a few times during my nap to see the snow coming down. I was too disappointed/tired to go out and film it.

However, I did just take some pretty neat photos! Like I said, it's just about an inch out there (and it's already melting) but it sure does look pretty. Stuck nicely to the trees around here.

This storm would mark the perfect end to the worst winter I can remember. So many times on the razor's edge of a nice winter event, only to be edged out by a degree or two. Lucy is becoming downright evil. :grrr:
