Texas Winter 2022-2023

[TropicalTundra]

Still rain here.

Argyle has a 1/2-1” on the grass.

Drizzle here at 45 degrees. Some spotty showers developing over Bell County though. Need the rain for sure so I don’t mind

Legit snowing now in north FW. It will be a good mood setting at least for the few minutes it lasts. Glad we got over an inch of rain. Too bad it wasn't a foot of snow.

I nearly got an inch from just that snow!

The CPC is really insistent on the cold air having a hard time making it into Texas next week. They have it mainly staying in the central/northern plains.

Maybe we'll see a Feb 1989 redux. Of course mini version, I don't think a 1070mb+ high is coming yet. It holds the all time North American record, but didn't make it far south.

The cold will likely win out in the end. Step down process I’m thinking.

Been snowing hard since I got home earlier despite not having a flake at the house for most of the day. I’d say around 2-3” slightly NE of WF. The snow has been nice but I’m more excited for these arctic fronts I keep hearing about, moisture or not.

Mostly snow here but melting on contact.

I’d say we have a 1/2” just eyeballing it. It makes me happy. If we were 4 degrees cooler we’d have a good 3” incher.

Kinda feel bad because NTWX has been trying to say “Hey! morons! The upcoming pattern is what you want.”

And I don’t disagree.

1/2" in Little Elm was a nice surprise for my GF

[Haris]

Snowed heavy in Plano for 1 hour ish. Dusting on grass. Fun enough

Can we lock in the 12z Euro?

[Texas Snowman]

Ground is covered in Denison, maybe 3/4 of an inch on grassy surfaces?

Only if it’s cold enough for winter mischief….

It was a rough day for SE Texas. I picked up 4.10” - off the top of my head, approximately the 6th or 7th biggest rain I’ve seen since moving here in 2005.

Indeed! Have seen some damage photos from Deer Park and Pasadena, including the animal shelter.

I hope there were no fatalities or serious injuries. Feeling sad tonight for y’all.

One of my employees had roof damage

MAJOR multi-day overrunning potential setting up for next week, could see a lot of frz rain/sleet with this setup

CMC puts down an ice-skating rink for a large portion of the state next week. Shallow arctic air with impulses riding over from the SW. Classic TX ice storm potential should that setup verify. Ensemble thus far is aligned fairly well with it.

GFS is a blowtorch starting February 1st. Damn

Ensemble doesn't align with the OP. Much colder.

GFS can’t handle shallow cold like this…CMC and ICON usually perform much better

[txtwister78]

Short range models including FV3 did pretty well all things considered with trends today. Interesting observation from OKC local met with respect to accumulations. Tulsa unfortunately was a bigger bust but again models were generally overdone in most cases as late as last night. Snow is still snow though so hope everyone enjoyed it. Better luck next time for our friends in DFW going forward.
