By the looks of the radar areas east of the Metroplex could see similar our even higher totals. Someone may wind up with over 8 inches from this.

Woke my wife up to tell her no school for the kids and to show her the snow. Can't tell if she was excited or upset with me. I'm guessing upset. :roll:

To think that the GFS was showing only about an inch of snow for N TX and the HRRR was showing it dissipating by now.

Models blew it for NTX. It was colder aloft faster and qpf they were way off, don't even mention the GFS. Euro gradually got more snow amounts run by run so I'll give it that.

Snow has picked back up in intensity here. Not nearly as heavy as it was an hour and a half ago, but still coming down at a good clip. I'd say we're at 4+ inches here, hard to tell because of the wind.

The NAM may be the only model that predicted the QPF we are seeing though it never could figure out where to place it. The RGEM was not too bad.

I just stepped out for a moment. Looks like I have about a quarter inch of sleet. Mix of sleet and light freezing rain falling with freezing rain just trying to start accumulating.

Starting to taper off now. The batch between Abilene and Brownwood might get us later but I am not staying up for it. Everyone enjoy and stay safe.

NWS Fort Worth @NWSFortWorth

Snow has ended at #DFW Airport. After midnight, 0.9" fell. Storm total = 3.4". Greatest event total since Feb 2010. #dfwwx #txwx


The 2.5 inches at midnight was a record for March 4.
DFW is now at 5.7 inches for the season. What a comeback.

Not doing much better down here in Jacksonville. We've got some sleet on the cars now, but it keeps swapping back and forth between rain and sleet. Most of our sleet fell about an hour or two ago, and has been mostly rain since then.
