I meant predicted temps were too warm. Sorry. My bad and good catch.
Again. We have seen this over and over and over again. The models just do not handle the cold well. This could be an ever changing situation, all over Texas. In my neck of the woods, we are on that 31/32 degree line.(Kingwood/Humble). It has been creeping south in the models. We shall see.

Hear! Hear!
I'd buy him a steak dinner at Flemings if he came here and brought a winter storm with him.

On Larry Cosgrove's Facebook page an hour ago:
"Just a few words about the winter weather situation that will be affecting Texas and the Deep South over the next 72 hours....
1) The air will actually be cold enough for mostly snow and sleet very close to the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex on Monday and Tuesday. The surface freeze line could get down into College Station and Huntsville to the Lakes Region, so freezing rain possibilities (especially bridges and overpasses) are extant until the entire core upper low (now over the "Four Corners") ejects. That impulse looks stronger than what the numerical models show, and could actually produce another round of early morning snow, with thunderstorms in C, S TX, on Wednesday.
2) The biggest icing threats are Monday along Interstate 20 and 30 traveling eastbound from DFW into TXK and SHV. Minor pulses of freezing drizzle and sleet may occur afterwards until the main energy starts moving and links with the vast cold low over Ontario and the Great Lakes. This feature still has the chance to make the turn northward along the Eastern Seaboard, and must be monitored for threats on Wednesday night and Thursday through Dixie and the Atlantic Coastal Plain/Piedmont. Most snow totals in TX and OK will be of the 1 - 3" variety, but some spikes in the Panhandles and Red River Valley could go past 6" of snow.
3) Temperature patterns over much of the nation will remain much colder than normal, outside of the possible brief warm-up ahead of the front and trough axis February 28 - March 1."

Actually, Cantore just did a live shot from Dallas on TWC. The girl in the studio asked him why he always goes to Dallas and not Austin for winter weather events. He laughed and said " Are you kidding me, it never snows in Austin, Texas".

Re: Texas Winter 2014-2015
Tropical convention developed fairly rapidly this afternoon SW of the Baja Peninsula. That moisture is being picked up and spreading NE with the strong upper low generating rainfall across Southern California this evening for the Oscar Ceremonies in Hollywood. The sub tropical jet is becoming very noisy and that trend may continue into Wednesday before the upper trough finally passes Wednesday night.

Reporting in Corinth, TX. Sleet was falling earlier, very cold outside. Work is closed tomorrow and we got our Costco shopping done Friday. Bring on the ice and snow.

Temperatures are already colder than expected in College Station. Temperatures are running about 3-5 degrees colder by about 6 hours than the guidance suggested. My temperature in NW Harris County has dropped to 48F and is still falling. That was not expected until about 3 AM early tomorrow morning.
