in the areas of north central texas and central oklahoma temperatures are running from30-33 degrees in an area where there are impressive looking thunderstorms
now since i live in s fl i don't get this type of weather, but usually when i see reports of thundersnow it has a more winter looking radar signature with bands of heavyier snow embedded with thunder, well the radar out of fredrick , OK has a summer like appearance of thunderstorms with temps running at or below freezing in MOST reporting stations like
lawton, OK 30
chandler, OK 30 TSorm

strong and even severe thunderstorms with temps below 32?

i know what your talking about but i don't think that's the case here because
these cells with the orange and red return on radar were coming up from areas south of the front where temps were in the 60's and the color representation was not changing as the storm rode north and into the colder air.
on weather underground i can find about 5 locations now reporting thunderstorms and temperatures between 28 and 30 f
the cold arctic air is so dense and heavy it is infiltrating ( undercutting) lower levels of the air first, where there is still warm unstable air aloft, these are legitimate thunderstorm cells riding northward over the arctic boundry and they are dumping tons or freezing rain or sleet in n central texas and central OK.
nw texas is starting to get "DUMPED ON" someone north and west of amarillo will see a foot

I do remember a night in 1992 or 1993 that it was below freezing and Huge storms came into SE Houston from the south. Temp stayed below freezing, and a lot of slush was in the trees, but it came down so fast that it didn't get a chance to all out freeze. I remember that it rained so hard my street flooded a bit. With this kind of weather in this part of the world who knows. When you get far away from what normaly happens, the computers are no help. Heck look at the Christmas Eve snow in Galveston. Don't I remember seeng a note from the weather service that "reports of snow in Galveston are false"?
