No talk of the Euro? That storm is a major winter storm for Texas!

850mb temps are plenty cold, trowel and 32-35F near the surface.

:uarrow: Oooo weee, that bad boy digs. Lets see if this is a trend. From the looks of it, and it was expected, its coming in a bit slower which would be worse for me. Expecting to be in the Panhandle region around noon on the 24th.

It is still over a week out, but a significant winter storm looks very possible next weekend in Oklahoma and Texas. Details will be nailed down over the next week plus.

Yet another big Texas snow storm from the EC? How did y'all enjoy the last few? I believe 6+ inches of snow turned into a very cold rain with a few sleet pellets mixed in. I'm in control now! I've burned off those nasty clouds and will start heating things up around here!

Pfft we will make it happen. GFS isn't far off we just need to hang in there until Porta regains posture! I have to continue to channel cold miser until he returns, if the map shows it post it! Believe it!

Lets throw out those big years and reach for them. Jan 1966, 1978, 1985! Maybe someone will get 13 inches of snow like San Antonio did?!

We all know where Porta's heart is. He will be back right when winter reaches the climax this year. Wise move not accepting the bet on his part. We will need him when it matters most!

There have been may times that snow accumulated with temps above freezing just requires either cold ground which we rarely have around here or for it to come down faster than it can melt.

I wasn't here for that and would kill for a repeat. :P My biggest snow in the last 22 years in Alabama is a mere 4 inches. I wanna beat it...

But honestly, most of the good snow events I've seen temps were borderline... you get too cold and usually moisture is lacking...

I actually got enough freezing rain with the cold rain to coat my trees in ice, it looked really pretty.

Exactly. Which is why I preach about how many things have to be JUST right for a snow event. 2 degrees temperature, 50 miles north/south of storm path, moisture availability, lift mechanism, then if you get all those lines up just right, you have to overcome the heat miser himself, and his voodoo.
