Texas Winter 2017-2018

The siren call of the models.

NWS FW has a note about the monumental snowstorm of December 20-21, 1929. Hillsboro got 26" in 24 hours (still a TX record), accompanied by thunder and lightening.
The snowtrack was just south of DFW, which received a mere trace. 14"+ from Hamilton to Athens. Waco 13".

Did it snow any in Austin?

Yes it did. I just looked it up in the EWX archives which showed:

Dec. 20-21, 1929...5.5in

Well it’s now fully closed off on the NAM, which is a positive, but it’s tracking just north of us now. Red river/southern Oklahoma would be the winners this run.

Let’s hope it tracks south!!!

The FWD office of the NWS has a photo on both their Facebook page and their web site today of the December 20-21, 1929 central Texas snow event. The boy on the right in the picture is my father. Dad well remembers that storm. Says there was lightning and thunder. I would add the pic here but I don't know how.

That is awesome. If I can remember which website I store my photos online, I will post for you.

edit: I figured it out but not before bubba hotep got it for you. That's just a cool story. I have seen that photo before.

I remember waking up pissed off because it was 20 degrees here and nothing to show for it. I was kind of okay with no snow before that(I'm going up north this winter anyway), but that really made it that now we have to score.

Oh Canada

[Brent]

meanwhile the GFS says severe weather is more likely lmao

[Cpv17]

I’m not sure if this is a question I should be asking in this thread, but have models gotten worse the past few years instead of better?

the 0z Euro cancelled the snow next week

Took the system to north of the red river. Still 7 days out so it'll change back 15 times.

NAM and Canadian trending together on the shortwave tomorrow night. Both show it moving too far west to get DFW snow. Areas just W and NW of DFW will likely see ice and snow. We will have to watch to see the exact track the shortwave takes. Rainwise it looks like another good rain event with several inches possible again over NE TX. Strong storms again possible. Hope no more tornados.

Starting to think this will be the story of this winter for DFW. "Cold Rain"......yuck. I'd rather have it 100 degrees.
