Texas Winter 2010-2011

[Parker_County1]

Yep, there's something funny about the radar. Now just as it looks as if the band has moved past here, it's snowing harder and starting to accumulate. A dusting so far.

[South Texas Storms]

There's quite a bit of wraparound developing from Abilene to San Angelo to Midland.

Is that where SA's snow will come from?

Look at this. Towards the east, you can finally see deeper Gulf moisture arriving.

That could be SAs 2nd band, as I still believe the SSWward developing meso convective band will arrive there later. I could be wrong about both though.

I have about 3/4 an inch of snow already in Midlothian. Unlike other snowfalls, this stuff immediately started sticking. Ground pretty much frozen already, so no heavy snowburst needed to kickstart the accumulation.
At this point, an inch would be an awesome cap to the week. I wanted to use my ice rink tomorrow, but now have to figure out a way to dust off the snow .

It will be easy to move, fluffy stuff like you see up north. Just don't slip! I've gotten a dusting, fast.

It is really snowing nice here near downtown fw, streets are already covered!

Flurries just started in Carrollton..

[BrokenGlass]

Flurries just started in Richardson. Wow.

But that band is approaching SA and no backbuilding has begun to get even close to here yet.

My hands are frozen. I should have put my gloves on, dang. I got some video though that I'll upload later. I'd say it's an inch already.

I do live really close to Joe Pool...probably lake effect ;] lol.

Is this band the only precip were going to see in DFW or is there supposed to be more after this band goes through?

Looks like snow is on the radar all the way down towards San Angelo and Kerrville. Also, as mentioned above, some precip developing out in portions of West Texas too. Don't know if all of it is reaching the ground or how intense it is, but I'd say there will be two or three rounds before all is and done.

EDIT: And if that happens, this storm may really surprise with some bigger than expected accumulations.

Just my thoughts - not an official forecast, of course.

According to Parker_county, it's even snowing where it's not showing up on radar. Weird storm. It seems the snow sticks on the pavement quicker than the grass!

The snow is almost like baking flour.

[kb75007]

Yeah this is very weird. The radar is showing pretty moderate snow for me, but im getting very small flurries.

[Dustan78]

Looking at the radar on wfaa, it looks like it is snowing from the border of mex, all the way up to the metroplex.

[MSUDawg]

already have a dusting across parkings lots here south of DFW Intl. Picking up quickly...it's so beautiful
looks like a snowfall in a snowglobe because the flakes are so small and abundent and stick to wherever they land.

This is like the mountain powder you see in the Wasatch in Utah. Its really soft, fluffy, not wet, and dry. I would assume that the snow ratios Utah usually sees in the Wasatch would be similar to what we are seeing now?

[Dustan78]

I have never seen it stick so fast to pavement, this is really neat!

[ludosc]

just west of downtown ftw

My guess is with the low dewpoints, you're still trying to saturate the air, but I defer to the pros.
