Texas Winter 2024-2025

[Gotwood]

My area refuses to be just snow. It’s a solid snow and sleet making roads pretty bad.

[rwfromkansas]

Still snow. This may be changing the profile to allow less sleet, more snow maybe?

[Ralph's Weather]

South Tyler getting in on the sleet now.

Nothing behind this band currently this far south so may have break to warm things a bit. At home in Lindale precip likely hangs around longer so temps should hold 32/33 there until later.

The break in precip is what I'm most worried about now, not good since we're up to 36F now and have always been worried about temps.

Same concern here. Lindale may fair OK but Longview and Tyler need the precip to redevelop fast.
We are more reliant on the Gulf low than areas NW which are getting this from the upper low.

Wild thing is, it's heavy enough and clumpy enough it's sticking to the roads!

[orangeblood]

Interstates really started to ice over from I-30 north in Metroplex, rough evening commute if this freezing line stays where it is

[txtwister78]

Pretty clear that Mother Nature is beating these Model algos like a drum, colder at almost all levels thru North Texas than models are showing....marginal warm noses are always risky

I thought short range models had a good handle. It was always looking like more snow across areas further north along the river and a battle line I-20 north. Seems to be the way it's playing out right now. Think the key is watching the afternoon precip to see precip types then IMO.

My road is completely white and covered, too.

Not seeing a lot of freezing rain reports to the south out there. It was either rain/sleet mix at the beginning or sleet/snow ->snow, or rain.

They are 1-2 F too warm. Almost all snow across Metroplex now, even short range had mix frz rain/sleet at this time

[Ntxw]

It's snowing with a S/SE wind...the memories .

[cmpcpa99]

We have enjoyed a nice, relaxing cold rain here in Maypearl. Alas, we are a bit too far South.

[DallasAg]

The bridges and overpasses are starting to coat over along and north of I-20 where it's sleeting/snowing.

Not to get too far ahead of ourselves, but the daily snowfall record at DFW is 2.4". Maybe there's a legit chance?

Does anyone know how "official" snowfall measurements are made? Do they clear the deck periodically to account for compression, melting, or a changeover? For instance if DFW comes in at .5" this morning, then it rains a bit, and then we get another 2" this evening with the main event are we getting the full 2.5"?

Light precip has started in Longview. Mostly rain, but a few ice pellets mixed in at times in the heavier stuff. Hope it can start cooling the air.

9:00 am surface freezing line. It dipped back south as the big band moved through.

The 14z HRRR shows the freezing line staying pretty stable through today. If you are getting snow or snow/sleet now, then there is a chance you stay that way throughout the event.

Still has 3-6pm all rain but it continues to have a difficult time with the upper level temps

Yeah, it bumps the warm nose up into DFW during that time frame. We'll see what happens, and the warm nose is our wintertime nemesis!

[TropicalTundra]

Still dry as a rock down south of y'all. Might as well go make a dirt angel

[bubba hotep]

Dumping snow again. Accumulating way more than I expected for this early in the day!

The lower temps have made the difference for sticking.

[snownado]

It's all snow now. Has been for some time.

Grass is almost completely covered.

Yes, the Gulf of America force is very strong with this one.

[rwfromkansas]

I would guess a half inch or so out there now. Will take a photo later. This is much more than I expected by this point.

Back to more sleet, but still flakes. Road is solid white, no melting yet.
