I've emailed the DFW office and received a reply every time. The email addr is SR-FWD.Webmaster@noaa.gov. Just don't expect a timely response.

Fox 4 was just saying 1-3, but with the new guidance coming in they may have to tweak those amounts a little. At least one on the weather stations seems to be in line with that is being said on here.

I feel like im 4 years old and its christmas eve right now! Ridiculous!! lol :D

if im correct, may not be, still learning to read models better.. looks like the 00UTC Gfs is inline with the Nam being wetter and a little colder...

Colder maybe, I don't think it shows wetter. If anything a bit drier but that's a very tiny shift compared to 12z for our area. Has a good area of 3 inches.

Overall no big changes either way with the 0z GFS so, my official guess. Is 3-5 inch widespread amounts for North texas. Some less and some maybe more up around 6-7 inches.

Looks like NWS is going by the NAM. I still believe the higher amounts will be along I-20 east/southeast. Not the north and west. I guess where the heaviest bands develop will be the deciding factor.

It's different for each area. I think mainly it's based on how it effects the roadways. If there is going to be significant impacts on travel, you'll likely see a winter storm warning.

It's just the safe bet going with the higher totals north and west. It's what all the weather people here do.

Contrary, this will be the perfect kind of snow for snowmen especially with 2+ inches. Hopefully we can get lots of pictures of those :wink:

Argh, tv guys in Austin, say yeah for rain only. abc has low crossing n.texas. nbc has low crossing central texas which = best chance for snow in Austin Thursday night. Temple northward still looks to be on track for prolong wintry precip either way.
