Portastorm wrote:Actually ... it has transitioned into freezing rain/drizzle. Numerous reports across the city now coming in about the same. There must be some kind of warm layer of air above us not progged. It is starting to coat objects outside.
Texas2Florida wrote:Channel 4 DFW stating that the precip is coming quicker than they thought, dry snow that will accumulate on the roads. Should be a fun commute.
downsouthman1 wrote:I personally believe this will develop into convective snow & intensify even more over a larger part of the state as the ULL slowly creeps our way. When you look at the radar, try to imagine that you're not seeing blues but storms & identify similar patterns to what you would see during strong thunderstorm outbreaks. This is gonna be big.
Official forecast! No, but seriously, not official!

(How's that for amateur
Ntxw wrote:To confirm Portastorm's 'other' precip type, radar is showing some kind of mixing happening around SA. Odd since I assumed these areas would be fully frozen aloft. Waco is in the thick of things and it is knocking of DFW's doorstep.
South Texas Storms wrote:Porta, when do you think we will see our snow in Sa and AUS?
Portastorm wrote:NWS is saying another hour or two of the freezing drizzle/rain stuff and then a transition to snow. Heck, nobody I know of said we'd have freezing drizzle/rain so this deal is already surprised the experts.
