Texas Winter 2025-2026

BTW, FWD shifted that mostly snow line ever so slightly south as it bisects Denton and Collin.

Getting real close to me in Coppell.

I hope it drifts to I-20 and holds.

200 pages you say? I am the great DH, the greatest mastermind of them all. I am here to destroy the powerpuff girls because I am evil and highly intelligent. The most intelligent! And I shall rule the world!

Anyway, the GFS does bring a little hope for some frozen stuff here in NWFL. I was pretty much ready to just watch it on tv this weekend, but maybe a trace of something?

Trends, they are starting

I think there was mention of last's year system I've been asked a few times. Both that and this coming event are similar where there is a big southwest low bringing up copious amounts of moisture. Txtwister78 mentioned a few times the source of cold air set up is quite different this year. Cold was already in place and eroding as, warm-moist air was filling above. It was a much easier process for the warm nose to bring the warmth down.

This year you have cold coming in fresh with reinforcing HP with more quality cold air, not an eroding air mass and it may very well win out.

STORM2K OFFICIAL BULLETIN

Meltdown Watch Downgrade
Issued by: Storm2k Office of Emotional Stability and Trend Reassessment
Status: MELTDOWN WARNING CANCELED, MELTDOWN WATCH IN EFFECT

The Storm2k Office has canceled the previously issued Meltdown Warning. Recent developments have shown a meaningful improvement in trends, prompting a downgrade to a Meltdown Watch for the Texas Winter Weather thread.

REASON FOR DOWNGRADE
- Latest guidance has shifted in a more favorable direction for a wider portion of the region.
- Confidence has increased as multiple sources now show improved consistency.
- The National Weather Service has adjusted the projected snow line farther south and east, bringing the DFW area into a more promising position.
- Forum emotional volatility has decreased from “critical” to “manageable.”

CURRENT SITUATION
- Posters are now exhibiting signs of cautious optimism, including phrases such as “Okay, that’s better” and “I’ll take that shift.”
- The rate of doomposting has slowed to normal winter‑thread levels.
- Several users have been observed stepping away from their devices to breathe fresh air.
- The F5 key is no longer considered at risk of structural failure.

EXPECTED IMPACTS
- Continued improvement in thread morale.
- Increased likelihood of celebratory GIFs if trends continue.
- Reduced probability of spontaneous thread combustion.
- A small number of users may still insist “it’s over,” but they are now considered outliers.

RECOMMENDED ACTIONS
- Maintain situational awareness as trends continue to evolve.
- Enjoy the improved outlook while keeping expectations tethered to reality.
- Continue monitoring updates from the National Weather Service as the snow line adjustments develop.
- Keep snacks nearby — this is still Storm2k, after all.

HI guys! I just got back to DFW this afternoon and had to check Storm2K out immediately. I live south of I20 in the Ovilla area. I haven’t had a chance to read the last 50 or 60 pages! As it stands right now, what can I expect in the Ovilla area? Much freezing rain or sleet and snow only? I know things are changing by the hour. Thanks!

I’m sorry if this has been asked and answered, but when will the recon data be entered into the models?

I’ve seen all kinds of different answers.

Our storm is slowly coming ashore the California coast.

GFS too cold-EURO too warm-Reality is somewhere inbetween.

If that much sleet falls over DFW… how do you deal with clearing all of that if you want to get out of your driveway before, like, Wednesday? You might need a sledgehammer to get through sleet like that once it solidifies.

Houston’s Travis herzog is talking about a brief change over to snow at the back end…

Looks likely the same as much of the metro, starting as rain changing to sleet, probably a lot of sleet, late Saturday to Sunday may be switching to snow. Subject to change of course if cold is a little faster.
