Austin didn't get anything. Give austin at least some snow and you can have your warm weather.

I haven't seen any winter weather other than a very light glaze of ice a couple weeks ago. A good widespread snow event would be nice but I don't expect that will be coming.

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.


Auto-fetching ?


Negative, manual.

We haven't had enough, have not seen one snowflake in Austin this season. Want to hold out for one more week then I am ready for warmth, this cold is getting old.

Sure, in April, May, June, July, August, September, and October.

That's seven months, you get the lion's share of the year for your warm weather.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, the PWC offices scattered around the state are still in "Winter-Mode." :D

Coming down a little harder now in GP.
I know we are enjoying our little flizzard at the moment, but I have read some things this morning regarding the storm on Tuesday. Could be fun. At least it will be moist.

You said the 2nd week of February was the one to watch, which is next week. Deliver on your promise and you can have the next two weeks. We're not giving away March, though.

Snowfall has picked up in North Fort Worth. Starting to accumulate on roof tops pretty well. The flakes have become much larger. Looking at radar it appears the snow is building back west and headed this way. Image

This appears to be the right stuff. It is white and fluffy. It is not freezing rain. Success!

Yeah, it's coming down harder now. The driveway is now white, so at least we have that going for us. We didn't miss out on all of the fun!

Next week could be interesting, let's just hope it's not ice.

Off for a little drive to the store. Maybe I will take the long way home and enjoy a snowy drive. Snow is great so great to look at, no matter how light.

It really wouldn't surprise me if we get up to 1". We're already pretty close. At this point it has already exceeded my expectations though so I'll be happy with whatever we wind up with.
