Possibly a couple inches. Hard to say because precip type may change back and forth at times.

hmm… the 18z GFS looks interesting for North Texas next Wednesday and Thursday. It shows some ice and snow for the metroplex.

Gonna go try to shoot a video and upload it to youtube. I tried just now while walking my dog but the flakes weren't showing up too well. Gonna try again now w/o the dog.


Is it wet snow or more of a dry dusting?


Dry dusting. Here are some photos I took:

Sleet accumulating here in Hutto. Driveway, and neighborhood streets already slushy. Thought the ground would be too warm. Hopefully this turns to snow soon.

Drove home in a rain/sleet mix around 5:45 p.m. When I arrived in scenic southwest Travis County at the Portastorm Weather Center, the temperature was 31 degrees.

Judging by radar, the bullseye this afternoon seems to be along Sam Rayburn and Toledo Bend.
