GFS has another blast coming down the plains around the 22nd/23rd. Apparently the Euro does as well.

Nice! The cold is a blessing. Snow is just icing on the cake.

I'm hoping the southern row of counties gets upgraded to WSW pink. An extra blanket to cover my leg that's hanging off the side of the bed.

32.7F IMBY North Dallas, NorthPark Center area. Running -1.3F to last night at the same time.

I've never at least in a very long time seen an ensemble showing over 10in in the south like the 18z euro

NWS just upgraded to a WSW from a watch for Montague county. I’m right on the border of Montague and Wise County, in Wise county. Currently sitting at 27 degrees on my weather station and should be a mostly snow event for us tomorrow, although not that widespread of an event for us.

Will we wake up to like that faithful Feb 11, 2010 Thursday (coincidence?) morning to all the posts "WOW", "oh my GOD", etc when 2 inches fell and it was 34 degrees?

Yep and I can't wait.

My temp has dropped to 33, 2 degrees lower than in the NWS forecast for this time. Now we watch if clouds come in too soon and keep the forecast on track, as often something seems to keep it on track. Wind is low, so hopefully it doesn't switch south for awhile.

I just got to 32

The 18Z King or Jester isn't backing down at all.

Currently 30.6° in SW Arlington

Freeze line has sagged south of I20 already across Texas. 31 here in Lindale which is round 3 degrees lower than expected at this time. Not sure how much effect that has in the end but def can't hurt to have 12+ hours below freezing before onset even if onset warms things some.
Most schools have already closed around here.

This storm, if it plays out as it could, will be memorable for some in places but it will be very deadly and costly already. The California fires may end up the costliest in US history. If it was a tropical cyclone its name would be retired.

Well it’s going to be called Winter Storm Cora. I’m still not used to naming winter storms.

Im actually curious, what’s the point of naming winter storms?

It's a pointless gimmick that TWC started...

The "idea" (I guess) was to get the public (including state and local officials/resources) to treat these as more serious weather events (similar to tropical system impacts) since they can cause major disruptions to life and property. My issue isn't so much about the names, it's the overkill of naming anything that drops a few inches of snow across the country and tagging it with a name. 2021 event type scenario obviously a different deal and that one was named as well.

There isn't one

The Weather Channel trying to make themselves relevant.
