I will look forward to his comments if he makes any, brewskymc, and thanks to txagwxman and Ntxw for the thoughts.

Just got to do something I've only had a handful of chances to do in my life, living in Austin, TX, ... snowball fight with my boys.

First, congratulations to the North Texas people I disagree with. Outstanding job.

Snippet from updated disco out of Fort Worth:

NEW MODEL DATA CONTINUES TO COME IN AND WE ARE CONCERNED THAT THE
EXTENSIVE SNOW PACK WILL HAVE A SUBSTANTIAL IMPACT ON THE LOW
LEVEL THERMAL PROFILE OVER THE WEEKEND/EARLY NEXT WEEK WHICH WILL
RESULT IN SOME COOLER TEMPERATURES THAN PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT. IT MAY
ALSO AFFECT THE PRECIPITATION EXPECTED ON SUN

No surprise on lower temps, but I did not realize precip was/is forecasted for Sunday. What's the latest on that?

It means Jerry is in bed bundled up thinking 'OH NO..Not again!'. There goes superbowl 50 for North Texas...

I'm trying hard to remember and I can't tell from my old pictures too much but I'm not sure if the foot of snow we got last year accumulated so much on the roads.

I have a neighbor who just pulled out from the street for the first time and it's incredible being actually to see just how much is on the street.

Just In: Grayson county may be declared a disaster area.

Here is a picture from last year. A lot more on the trees and stuff, but the roads were fine. As long as a car went by it melted instantly. It doesn't this time, compacted.



Edit: A band of light snow is about to pivot the metroplex. Starting to fall again here.

[TwisterFanatic]

6.5 Inches so far. So i have 16 inches on the ground right now.

Heavy wet snow vs dry puffy stuff.

Plus roads were frozen before the snow started.

County judge just officially declared Grayson Co. a disaster area.

I was able to get to work last year in the snow, albeit o. A broken leg I got falling in the yard while taking pictures of the snow (didn't know it was broken until I finally went to the dr that Monday morning). If I remember correctly, we woke up to that snow on a Friday as well.

[txagwxman]

UKMET more light snow DFW/SPS on Sunday evening.

[Shoshana]

32F at the house now and frozen stuff mostly melted off the roof. Neighbors are starting to get out and go on into work.

Got the cold water in the kitchen running again.

Guess it's over. I think the sun will melt most everything here but there might be some places that will refreeze tonight.

[Night on the Sun]

About 3.5 inches here in Little Elm, TX. Stopping snowing about 11am. Nice little surprise.

If it snows during the game, then we know Jerry is "officially" jinxed (hey, anybody that hires Barry Switzer just to "show em" deserves what he gets) and that he should immediately sell the team to the same guys that bought the Rangers.

From a winter storm...how about that. Still getting flurries here. If the sun doesn't break out fast it'll only have 2-3 hours of good daylight to do any work.

Now this is getting really sad so here's something else you can do with your son/kids: http://www.starlight-candles.com/how-to ... andles.htm I can guarantee they will get a huge kick out of them (just please stay below freezing from now til tomorrow).

Wow, just had a friend tell me he saw Sherman on the weather channel, said it looked pretty bad. That's crazy.
