Official NWS forecast for my area (Cedar Hill) tomorrow. Just posting to look back on after the storm. It'll be interesting to see if they nail it this time. They certainly didn't back in 2010.

Rain and snow after midnight. Low around 30. Calm wind. Chance of precipitation is 80%. Total nighttime snow accumulation of less than one inch possible.

Wednesday Rain and snow before noon. High near 46. West northwest wind 5 to 10 mph becoming light and variable in the afternoon. Chance of precipitation is 80%. New snow accumulation of less than one inch possible.

I'll bet the farm they will be on their heels updating totals on this one. if I were the NWS I would've put winter storm warnings for both Dallas and Tarrant counties points east.

Anyway I don't know if anyone has mentioned, but the Euro is showing a couple of inches of snow come Friday. A little more to the west/northwest.

Yeah, it's a shame we have the "warm up" tomorrow afternoon and Thursday. Would have been nice to connect accumulation between the two storms.

McCauley regarding his Stat Methods higher accumulations than NWS. Let's hope his SM is 21/21 tomorrow. :wink:

I am aware that the snowfall forecast produced by the Stat Method is significantly different from the official outlook. I am simply posting what the SM "thinks" will occur. And although the SM has accurately predicted the last 20 precipitation events in North Texas, past performance is NO GUARANTEE of future results.

I have said this several times over the last month: The Stat Method is L-O-N-G overdue for a bust. But even though the Stat Method will eventually fail - it has to since chaos will always come around and mess up the mathematics every now and then - I do not know of any mathematical way of predicting when the SM will fail, so we will see if this is the long overdue bust or not.

See you tomorrow! smile emoticon

you know, some of this heavy snow can be as bad as ice when you drive on it. It clogs up tire treads and then it's hydroplane city. I'm sure the school bus drivers don't have much experience with this stuff.

It can be really hard on roofs and canopies. FWIW

Boom!

Seems like it's coming in quicker. 35 degrees here and quite excited. I am torn though. Working at five and set the alarm for three so I could check status, but now I am thinking of a two thirty alarm just to check the dark sky for large snowflakes. Maybe have some coffee, watching the snow before work. The Feb 2010 storm held steady at around 33 throughout the entire storm. Come on baby!!

Food for thought it is currently 40F in Cut Bank, Montana and 34F in Dallas, Texas. Who says you need an arctic blast for snow?

Is it too early to see any trend in the track of the low in relation to its possible effect on areas between Temple and Austin?

Latest NAM is too, starting out to include western areas as well and having 1-2 inch snow rates. Big, fat flakes.

Could the system digging further southeast indicate that its taking on more of a neutral to negative tilt than expected?

The more it digs south the better chance we have in Austin.

That's how it seems to me, it looks like it's nudging to the south.

I don't see how Austin will be dry slotted, not with how far south the radar returns are,
