Texas Winter 2021-2022

Definite pingers now much more common.

Really hope we see a rapid transition here soon.

In Ponder we had some sleet mixing in with the rain, but were in a dry/light spot atm. Will be curious what the precipitation type is when the heavier stuff out west makes it here.

Also looks like NWS bumped our area up to 1-2" of sleet/snow tonight and another 1-3" sleet/snow tomorrow.

As far as the front goes. Was 60 here at 6pm now 42. NE Brazos county

Anyway, that potential .1 inch per hour rate of freezing rain for the DFW area is...not good for powerlines.

Sleet/Ice pellets now in FW

Also, need to reiterate again the GFS was absolutely nails on this system from several days out…pinned down the frz transition almost to the hour in DFW

Starting to get a glaze on the cars on top of my complex’s parking garage, about 30 feet above the ground, here in Dallas

43F measured by my wx station here in Longview. Seems so close, yet it's so far...

Meanwhile, rain has also arrived.

Just had a burst of sleet a few minutes ago here in Keller. Back to mixed freezing rain and ice pellets now, hopefully good sign of pending transition to sleet. Trees have a good glaze of ice on them now with icycles forming.

We’ve had a mix of sleet and freezing rain in Denison. Enough sleet that there is a good white coating on the cars and grass. But enough freezing rain that the trees are building ice fast.

Any idea when the Laughlin AFB radar is supposed to come back on?

Live oaks, magnolias, and cherry laurels all starting to sag.

North Dallas near NorthPark Center. All of these made it through ice storms in 1998 and 2013 plus the big snow in 2010, so I know they can withstand several more hours of this.

Hopefully it won’t come to that.

[Ralph's Weather]

Just put kids to bed and let dogs outside and was very surprised to see that is is 33 and raining heavily. Looks like we will reach freeing well before 6am.

[AubreyStorm]

Denton and Frisco Texas, where my SNOW?

Here in SE Tarrant (Mansfield/Kennedale) temps actually went up a degree (33 currently) once some of the heavier showers moved in, and even though the radar shows a mix of rain/FR it is still just a cold rain.

From eye candy standpoint ZR has got to be the most boring (though dangerous) kind of winter precip mode to look at.


DFW

[Shoshana]

South Collin County Dallas nr Plano, sounds like sleet and (frozen) rain… can’t tell just looking out and if I open door dog will want walk!

I've never rooted for sleet so hard in my life

[orangeblood]

NAM finally picking up on what RAP and HRRR have been showing for later tonight…Heavy Band of Sleet/Snow moving directly through Metroplex b/w 3am to 9am

[South Texas Storms]

Any idea when the Laughlin AFB radar is supposed to come back on?

Last I heard was on Saturday that parts were being order and it is down until further notice. Unfortunate timing for sure.
