Some -20s forecasted in Montana by Tuesday. I would not be surprised if next cold front hits harder than expected like what happened last weekend when it was really cold up north.

A fine movie, Kitty Winn was his partner in crime, if I recall correctly. Central Park is magical with the snow, etc.

Re: Texas Winter 2017-2018
This rain should be beneficial for you guys(as long as too much doesn't fall at once.) You can't step in the grass here unless you want mud on your shoes, the whole Ohio river is under a flood warning and many in state rivers just had their's canceled. If we get 4-6 inches like the Euro and GFS shows we might be in trouble. I'm just hoping we're not getting set up for one of those catastrophic flood events later this spring.

Another crazy wet Euro run, the risk for flooding is starting to look real. Things get cranking on Tuesday:

Re: Texas Winter 2017-2018
6-12" by the agencies and some models is a lot of a of rain. Above 6" is top 5 for Feb and 7+ is the wettest at DFW. That is a lot for any time of year. You have to go back to 2015 for those kind of rainfall totals

ICON is a pretty good icing event west of I-35 in the western zones of NTX

I like spring blooms and bluebonnets but I associate these things with spring allergies and an end to winter. I like Bubba's winter map better in mid-Feb.

Been feeling a lot like spring here lately. Snow chances are decreasing by the day as we are quickly appoaching March. With this pattern of troughs digging into the SW US, it's going to be tough to see snow across much of the state with warm and moist air pushing in.
I'm very excited about the upcoming wet weather pattern. It's been too long since we've had a widespread heavy rainfall event!

My tomatoes have been growing under lights since mid-Jan. The soil temp yesterday was 60F, good enough to plant, but the last two NAM runs have made me re-think putting them in the ground.

Re: Texas Winter 2017-2018
Hi guys. Looks like the mjo is moving and nao/ao
going real negative. Surprised there isn't much talk about it. I know its getting later in season, but we can get ULL this time year.

Re: Texas Winter 2017-2018
A pretty decent -nao west based if I looked at it right. And also looks like Pacific jet retraction which may lead to split flow.

I'd hold up that far north. I think we're ok in Houston, though.

Re: Texas Winter 2017-2018
I just would have thought with the more favorable teleconnections and other things looking better that more people would be banging the drum, despite it being late in the season. I'm trying to remain optimistic that we see a late season winter event before we run out of time

I've been saying for a while now that I am high on the 1st 1/2 of March.

Re: Texas Winter 2017-2018
Our weather office locally alluded to the Texarcana area.
WPC guidance for QPF continues
to highlight an area near TexArKana and by all indications at this
point, that still looks very good.
