Texas Winter 2023-2024

[gpsnowman]

It's official. There was no freeze in Houston in 2023. Let's do it again in 2024!!

Relish it while you can. Winter shall return and ruin the no-freeze streak for Houston.

Newest run of the Euro weeklies look very cold for the foreseeable future.

Dry?

I didn’t see the weeklies for precipitation, just temperatures.

[Cpv17]

To add to what I said about the Euro weeklies earlier, it’s showing signs that we may be dealing with not only really cold, but could be dealing with extreme cold as well. Some are saying it’s the coldest run of the Euro weeklies they’ve ever seen.

The Euro control run is sending us into the tank around mid month.

Cpv17 yeah ive never seen a run like that ever from the euro control, bring it on!

[ThunderSleetDreams]

Cpv17 yeah ive never seen a run like that ever from the euro control, bring it on!

Yeah you have.

2021

Yeah you have.

2021

They all generally start out the same way. Just at varying degrees of strength.

Ntwx beaufort ridging? Wouldnt we want the ridge to be centered over alaska?

Our big cold blasts since 2020 have all started with Beaufort Sea ridging that seeds cold into Canada. This includes Feb 2021, Feb 2022, Dec 2022, and late Jan 2023. The upcoming early to mid month period is of similar value.

Got a Tempest Weatherflow station from Santa for Christmas. Temporarily set it up on a semi- sheltered fence post in backyard. Absorbing some radiant heat from fence (showing 75 when surrounding stations show 68-70).

Ordered the pole mount. Planning to install it on a raised fence picket I had leftover from the ice storm repairs last year. There is a clearing between surrounding trees in corner of my yard that I can raise between and and 10 feet off the ground.

Was thinking of side of roof, but have gutters everywhere, it gets hot in Summer, and "the boss" didn't like that idea of poking holes near the roof. So It's more accessible and out away from the house in a clear spot near trees.

Used Bill Ponder's discount code, and am looking forward to reporting measurements once permanently installed!

10 ft should be plenty. Get some decent wind readings as well. I just put mine on the top of my roof here in Denver. Only issue is, when there isnt much weather and things are calm, my temp is a tad warm. Cold air sinks and finds the valleys, creeks, and low points here. It's wild. My overnight temps girate wildly with a slight breeze depending on many factors. Its wild.

Thanks for your input! I have another question about ir. As you are looking at the device, if the triangle is facing YOU, are YOU looking north (Tempest triangle facing SOUTH)?

[Stratton23]

oh boy, a potential split of the PV would definitely prolong the cold

[gpsnowman]

About to start a little(a lot) drinkin. Happy New Year to all on S2K!! Let January and February be cold with multiple snow chances!! Be careful out there if you have to get out.

I guess our TV mets saw the EPS because multiple people have made posts tonight about the pattern in January

[SnowintheFalls]

I count 6 EPS members over 10 inches of snow here more than last run

Where do you see the EPS member panels?

Weathermodels. I only found one member that doesn't have some snow here

That is probably the one that will verify.

Quite a few have something

Cpv17 yeah ive never seen a run like that ever from the euro control, bring it on!

What are temps showing for SETX? And does that look like Feb 2021 or is it colder? Any precip with it? Ty

[Stratton23]

Sambucol that euro control run was showing teens and low 20’s in SE texas with single digits in north texas, dont know about precipitation

[Stratton23]

00z ICON is by far the fastest model with the arctic air, entering texas at hour 180, and boy its a cold run, 00z CMC is also very cold, but much slower with the arctic air
