Texas Winter 2025-2026

Well Ponder ISD just closed rest of the week, 5 days no school.

I just drove to the dentist 15 min away and the untreated roads are still sleet/ice packed. My AWD got me through it, but my gosh, it's amazing how much stuff fell.

It's really crazy to see the impact here especially when we fell way short of the model forecasts haha. I think when it's been this cold it doesn't really matter how much snow we got(because we were all snow here unlike DFW)

It's like spring break in January though. Theres spots in my shady apartment complex that based off the last few years probably isn't gonna melt til we get close to 60 which who knows when that happens(Right in front of the north facing office is a spot I've shocked people with before haha). Pretty amazing

Frigging Frisco ISD closed again. The roads aren’t THAT bad.

Parking lots and sidewalks around the schools. Nothing was treated, and a lot of school access points are pretty shaded. I expect everything to be closed again on Friday, just to play it safe.

They need to realize that’s my daycare.

I mean I’m retired/self-employed but it’s every 10 minutes: “Dad, can so-and-so come over?” “Dad, we are going down to the park to sled” “Dad, it’s too cold on our hands. Any ideas?” “Dad, so-and-so went into the pond on his sled.” “Dad, we are going to shoot fireworks in the back yard.”……..I’m trying to unravel a complex companies finances with multiple shells while I’m getting all of this.

With that front coming in tomorrow we may not have much more melting and a hard freeze over the weekend. It may be Monday and we still have a lot of stuff around here, that'll be over a week (7 days)

Did anyone have on their Bingo card to have this kind of an impact this long into the week?

It cooled off quick already upper 20s.

I'm watching Fox Weather, never have and I've never seen a dissection of the models regarding the "Benchmark" for a nor'easter storm. Reminds me of the Weather Channel long time ago.

18z GFS, yes I know it's 300+ hours out but another piece. Look at that -AO.

If that was to happen, it would be on par with late January 1989 in Alaska. The pressure was 1078.6 millibars. That same cold caused the February 1989 Freeze in America.

Yeah I'm not buying much of a warmup the cold is gonna reload in February no matter what the GFS says

The GFS last week numerous times said I would barely get any snow too last weekend so consider the source
