Texas Winter 2013-2014

[Portastorm]

:uarrow: Ukmet is flurries and light snow for Red River region, maybe some virga too.

Alright, alright ... I'm moving already!

[Ntxw]

I tend to agree with Porta, tired of the potential for snow several days out to only becoming a possible freezeing rain or sleet event a few days out, to just bust. Kinda like the Super Bowl. All the hype leading up to the event and then........... well i hope you get my meaning, ready to start seeing warmer weather no more cold please, can't believe i'm turning to the dark side with wxman57.

Don't worry it will come. People may not like the models prediction of cold, but we don't need any model to tell us 90s and 100s will be here soon for 90+ days. You will get your wish sir!

00Z Euro had little or no precip across Texas this Thu/Fri either. 12Z coming in now.

Ok I have to admit if we are not going to have snow (and that looks unlikely for what remains of this winter) I am ready for some 80 degree days.

[wxman57]

12Z Euro is in enough to cover this week. A plot of 24-hr snowfall (in centimeters) indicates very light amounts for Texas but heavier snow in south Louisiana. The snow algorithm on these charts is quite bad for the Gulf coast. No snow for south Louisiana.

Second graphic is 12hr precip covering Thursday. Values are in millimeters. Just a trace of precip across north Texas.

Oh, and here's an incredible video of the aftermath of the Slovenia ice storm that hit this week:

Hell yeah, more snow for us! Its happening

With all this model talk going on, can't wait for tropical season to get here. Oh how I've missed all the just wait two more weeks til the lid comes off like the gfs shows. Gonna be good

Well, it's official. No snow for us. Cancel winter.

[Snowman67]

Here are 12z GFS meteograms for Houston & Dallas-Ft. Worth. Cold Thu-Fri but no precip at all.

C'mon Wxman - knock down those temps a few degrees on 2/12 here in Houston...

[wxman57]

You might have missed my link in the post above. Take a look at this video shot yesterday in Slovenia. It's of an ice storm that I think hit the area Sunday.

Ok. I'm changing my request to not only knocking down the temps a few degrees at the surface, but throughout the column

No snow ok, I just hope for more rain. I talked to Denise Hickey at the NTMWD and she stated the rumor of Stage 4 water restrictions is just that, a rumor. However good news, the pipeline from Texoma to Lavon is getting closer to being complete.

I hope the driver in that vid was wearing something like a GoPro camera. That's crazy and it would be interesting to see what that area looks like sans mass quantities of ice.

[Red Raider fan]

That video is just the way i feel. hehe

[PTrackerLA]

Wxman the models show that it could be cold enough for frozen precip here, if not snow would that be freezing rain or sleet? The GFS is dry but does show surface temps close to freezing here.

Agreed. Tried to stay away from the dark side. It's been a struggle for sure
ready for spring crappie run and camping weather

Just pray the Zebra muscles don't invade it !

Just pray the Zebra muscles don't invade it !

The pipeline goes to 4 treatment facilities, 2 opening up in May and 2 in June. I hope it'll help. We still need the rain or 24 inches of snow melt.

Too late...

[Tcu101]

Do these treatment plants prevent the spreading from one lake to the other? Man these mussels are costly Does the recent drought condition play a role in the growing population?
