Many years of lurking. Watch hurricane tracking with an obsession. Grew up on the upper Gulf Coast, now in rural Williamson county northwest of Georgetown proper NW of Lake Georgetown. Have icing in the trees and on surfaces, now experiencing light flurries. Just returned from Breckenridge two days ago. Lots of fresh snow on the ground Wednesday.

26F balmy degrees at DFW airport this New Year's Eve night. Euro runs a week ago barely with even a freeze :roll:. Been 20s most of today no less!

Some mischief in central Texas this evening maybe a quick dusting then far S Texas later. Here's to hoping for a blockbuster snowstorm in the coming weeks to kick off 2018 as we leave 2017 on a cold note!

Family in Killeen told me it looks like sleet and is heavy enough to cover the ground.

Was the precip quite a bit worse in Fort Worth than in Dallas? We had a light glaze on vehicles and nothing much else... No traffic issues here in this side of DFW.

Heard it is snowing in College Station.

Lindale seems like about the only place in the state without even a trace this winter. Us and the Panhandle I guess.

Traveling south through Amarillo on the way back from Colorado, was dry as a bone Thursday. Freezing fog was the only thing we experienced as far as moisture; until we got into a Abilene. Funny thing is, we drove to the Rockies for snow during the holiday week... nothing much south of Hoosier Pass. Very dry.

Well, if that little band to our north holds and keeps moving south, we may see a quick dusting of light snow before 11 pm. Wouldn’t that be something?!

Big snow flakes reported in College Station. That makes twice in less than a month.
