Plano has plenty blowing around and accumulating on the ground, not heavy but you can clearly see the white.

Geez, it's still coming down? This just isn't fair! I still haven't had anything down here, but as I type this, I do see some flurries floating around out there.

Mother Nature is such a tease.

Steady snow here in Dallas (University Park)... the streets are solid white. Called my wife and she says conditions are similar at our house in Garland.

It seems the snow is picking up in northern weatherford. Bigger snowflakes now, too.

From where I work in Richardson near SE corner Bush/75:

I see the DFW NWS extended the 1" line further SE as well. May be a not-so-fun commute home.

A coworker and I have been working to make a better spreadsheet for creating meteograms. All you need is Excel with macros enabled. This is incredibly easy to use, click the create a chart button, select state and city from the drop down menus, then click create chart. The spreadsheet does the rest! No more cut and paste, and all that jazz.

A couple of kinks we're working out, it's saying 21Z for the 18Z GFS, but the data is correct. Give it a shot, download it here: http://www.heathweather.com/GFS_Chart_Creator.xlsm

I have spreadsheets for meteograms for the 0-192 GFS, 192-384 GFS, and 0-84 NAM that includes 850mb temps if you're interested.

...sigh. We're in a dry slot. I'm hoping that some of that stuff out west can build a bit more, but I'm not holding my breath.

Light snow in Heath - nice to see since it so freaking cold - 17 degrees! Very dry powdery snow.

Watching the FWS radar, it was looking like the back edge was approaching but then more returns keep building out west

I think SE may be done for the winter unless we get lucky in March.



Sleeting and snowing in Humble when I left 30 minutes ago. It was really coming down too.

We have had a nice amount of light snow in The Colony. I would say 1/2" and coming down in bigger flakes now. It appears that more snow is back-building to the west.

It is starting to accumulate a bit here in south Grand Prairie. If I remember you are a southplexer also. Are you getting any snow yet?

Have you all had enough winter weather now? Can I have some warm weather next week and beyond?

As others have stated, flakes are definitely a little bigger than they were earlier this morning. It's hard to get a good estimate on accumulation since the snow is so powdery and blowing in the wind. But, in an area protected from the wind there's about 1/2 to 3/4".

Nope. Thanks for asking. This is payback for your hijinks in 2011. We get our fun. Thanks for playing. You can hibernate until June...:)
