That would make it a VERY Merry Christmas for a lot of us!

Front just moved through here in Houston. Temp dropped 10 degrees in 1 minute.

The GFS sure looks interesting. If it verifies a lot of us weather folks in Texas would sure be happy.

The interesting thing is today it's been trending closer and closer to a big deal in DFW

Keep hope alive guys.

Verbatim this run in some areas it snows nonstop from Saturday afternoon to Monday afternoon

[Ntxw]

A lot to follow the coming days. Christmas storm looks legit. But still 7 days out, I'm hoping it works to give us here the 3rd snow on Christmas in 7 years. Before that 1 out of 100 years of records.

Meanwhile 23F at DFW and not even midnight yet. I'm thinking teens are coming.

I'm getting shades of the Christmas Eve 2009 storm honestly

But yeah I wish it wasn't still a week away however this storm has been persistent since fantasy land

I think yall should share. San Antonio and Austin havent seen snow in over 10 years period. We were too far north during the 2004 White Christmas in south Texas...

[Wntrwthrguy]

We need that to move about 250 miles south/southeast so the Austin area can finally get some accumulating snow.

I wouldn't worry what it is showing this far out. It will shift, disappear etc several more times. As long as we can keep the 500mb big storm we're in good shape.

PWC is working frantically to get that to happen. I believe the lead Grey Goose swelling met is out chasing with Champ the Charger some cold air.

Front blew in here at 10:30. It was 72 degrees and by 10:55 it was down to 41. 31 degree drop in 25 minutes. Crazy!!

[Texas Snowman]

Down to 19 at midnight in Denison.

[Ntxw]

As of just before midnight

22F at DFW
35F at AUS
49F at IAH

DFW's high today was 73 and the official low will be 22F a daily swing of 51F

[Brent]

Euro looks warmer and slower than the GFS with the Christmas storm so far

at Midnight Christmas morning DFW pushing 60 and OKC even in the 50s

Euro says what snowstorm Christmas Day lol DFW is near 70 degrees and OKC well into the 60s(which had a raging snowstorm on the GFS)

While the GFS has the low near Houston the Euro is in Iowa

[SouthernMet]

-10 in dalhart, tx.

[WeatherGuesser]

There oughta be a law ... no snow EVER under the 38th parallel below 500' elevation.

[Ntxw]

19F at DFW airport as of 3am with a wind chill of 2F. Ties the 2013 December low temp coldest since 05. The cold has verified at DFW, a little below OP guidance actually.

[gpsnowman]

Man is it cold. I am about to go to work. Hope the car starts.

[gpsnowman]

Well, the car started. Car thermometer fluctuated between 16 and 18 degrees from Frisco to the airport. Brrrr. My feet are frozen.
