Texas Winter 2014-2015

Euro says FW better start triggering those WSW's, so does OUN for the Falls.<br/>

Local Mets here in the Falls started downplaying the event earlier. Not sure what they are basing their assessment on?

Kind of funny to me since the Dallas TV mets were definitely hyping... one even outright called for warning criteria accumulations

[quote="Ntxw"]Euro says FW better start triggering those WSW's, so does OUN for the Falls.

What exactly does the Euro show for DFW?

2-4" of "stuff" and the model has been gradually getting wetter each run. And really the 4-5+ isn't that far away. And the winds sustained 20-25mph with gusts well over 30mph.

Ooh... I'm looking forward to this wind. lol. Been a long time since I've had a windy winter storm[/quote]
I would prefer overhyped since I could handle being let down better than endangering people by not allowing people to prepare appropriately.

Btw, sorry for the strange looking posts. Just discovered Tapatalk and trying to get it figured out!

I agree. I'm concerned by FWD going conservative here... afraid people are gonna go to work tomorrow expecting no big deal.

People ought to be plenty concerned after what happened on Friday. I can work from home and I've already told my team that I plan on working at home Wednesday and Thursday.

[Brent]

Fair to say the NAM is wet and I can't even see the whole metroplex but lol

[orangeblood]

I sure hope FW NWS gets these warnings out soon, this storm could get ugly for a lot of people. Sleet accumulations alone = Winter Storm Warning Criteria

Heh I'm a night owl usually. I'll be asleep til noon probably when I go to bed lol.

[JDawg512]

I'm not sure if I shouldn't be suprised that EWX has not issued a Dense Fog Advisory for right now or if I should be shocked. It's so foggy here on the southside that I can't even see more than 2 houses down from mine and can barely make out the lights from the house across the steet. The street lights have dissappeared completely, there is no light reaching the ground at this point. This is ridiculous!

This is one of those times that if I was alone outside I'd be pretty nervous and creeped out. Way too spooky..

Currently have all the lights off staring out the window scanning for freaky things to materialize out of nowhere lol.

Who poked the momma bear last night and angered her .. We went from a little over 1/2 inch of sleet , fz-r , snow to 3 inches now

LOL... Winter storm warnings from around San Angelo Texas to New Jersey.. Roughly 1550 continuous miles

[gpsnowman]

Looks to be a mostly overnight system. Gonna be a long night watching the storm pass. Very intriguing with the wind howling with the precip. Get your popcorn ready!!!

[gpsnowman]

According to NBC5 the temp doesn't get below freezing until this evening, after school and work. Very concerned about the timing of all this, just a couple hours off and it will be a serious mess late this afternoon.
