@ work where I've been showing my co-workers the requests for cold weather (even snow) from Texans (none believed me until I showed them this thread).

All have said you can have it (without even thinking twice :wink: ) ........they too will also turn their fans your way. :D

it is very, very crisp, clean and dry air (you will have to scrape some moisture together). It might even have a hint of pine.

Rgv20's and Tireman's post was just so heartbreaking (especially when we have something we WANT to SHARE)............just send up some warmth after so we can keep the -30's from descending on us. Please!!!

Yeah Ms Screamer. This is the first time in a long time that I have had brutal runs in December. Maybe my memory is faulty and I hate my dissertation ( ok, I hate it..but must finish by December 2013..been ordered by my dean to do so...LOL), but I have counted at least 5 of them that have been rough. I do not remember that many in the past few years. August and July, I get, but December. Sigh.

Just a heads up, a Tornado Watch may be issued for parts of northeast Texas soon! Be safe all!

SaskatchewanScreamer we would love to send you some of our SE TX 90F Summer heat in exchange for lots of your snow. Maybe the Mayan's will help. The models are still all over and hopefully we will have a better idea by Saturday and hopefully by Sunday. I am hoping for snow in NTX since I will be in Roanoke, N of Ft Worth all of next week.

Are we waiting for the new models to come out or have they come out and look so bad that no one is talking? :D Hope it is the former. :ggreen:

Just waiting. There is really no reason they should look "so bad" even if we don't get winter precip with this upcoming storm, there should be more chances. Lots of cold is coming!

Also, how about this little line of storms? Looks like a severe thunderstorm will be hitting my house soon.

It's up. This thin band of thunderstorms rolling thru the Metroplex was unexpected. There was no chance of rain earlier.

And we're trying to predict a winter storm that is still 6-7 days out. :wink:

Oh, I agree with you. I was joking about the models. Just a change in the weather pattern is satisfying enough. Feeling that cold wind and possible rain is great. Everything else is a bonus!!

Wow, this storm was a nice surprise. Lightning, rain, and lots of wind! My poor inflatable Santa is taking a beating.

Not much rain where I am. It is pouring at my house though in G.P. You can sure see, taste, and smell that West Texas dust though.

Even Toronto is not guaranteed our snow, but would love to send some of our cold that way just to make Cyclenall's life interesting (would really love it if it came with prairie blizzard like conditions.....I am sooooooo bad :oops: ). They too however will have to supply the moisture.

Cold we can easily do (that IS 1/2 of the necessary ingredients that you folks need). Hopefully it will also wring some frozen moisture, re snow, out of the sky or run into some and take it along for the ride. No matter what it should knock your temps down to more humane levels.

Will wait on turning those fans on again though until conditions look just right (Tireman is pretty good at giving a pretty strong hint.....). Mayan temps or even SE Texas temps we don't expect (would love 10 degrees warmer than we are now though).

It looks like the GFS 00z might be further south and faster with the system through 120 hours, compared to the 12z run.

Surface low forms over the south plains instead of the northern panhandle

Edit: The ejection is still very sharp though so not sure there's much difference there.

It looks like today we do have some pretty decent consensus. A storm will likely dig from the Pac NW down the great basin to the Tx/NM border. Most models track the surface low across the Red River vicinity and sends it into Arkansas. They confine the snow mostly in the Panhandle across central Oklahoma into Kansas/Missouri.

I think southern Ontario has a 50/50 shot at a green Christmas based on the forecast, there is this system affecting us in 36 hours but only showing a few cm for some reason. Then it gets above freezing for a day and there is a chance it could melt and then its dry til the 25th. I haven't seen true blizzard conditions in years so go ahead and send it in :lol: . Also, point those fans towards the Arctic circle.

Those CFSv2 images were not the ones I saw, it was second-hand info because I don't check that product. Those do show what occurred this December across NA but I remember seeing and hearing big cold for us that never came. It might have been another model or product.
