Don't look now but a good batch is about to move over the southern 1/2 of the metroplex. Starting to pick up here in Arlington. Very dry, fluffy flakes.
Everyone is getting in on the fun today.

Really coming down in Waco right now. Radar looks like we're about to see a break for a while though

That is actually very very close to where I live. My teenager texted me from school about the "gigantic snowflakes." LOL.

Well we're getting some heavy small snowflakes. It's pretty to look at, at least.

The radar is showing heavy snow returns over I-20 and extending up I-30 towards Mesquite and Garland, but I don't see anything outside. Maybe it's not reaching the ground? I'm so close to the edge of the snowfall area as it is, it would be torture if I was in a virga region all day.

Dewpoints in North Texas are very low falling to the mid and low 20s that's why the cut off to the snow is so sharp with cold dry air to the north. The snow that does fall isn't big flakes because there is low moisture content. Anyone who does gets snow (under extremely heavy bands) it's similar to the type of snow over Christmas otherwise yeah it's virga

Re: Texas winter wx thread (2009-2010)
I'm in Athens about 40 miles sw of Tyler, and it's been snowing here for the last hour. Hasn't started in Tyler according to one of my co-workers. Hopefully we can get a little accumulation this evening.
