So, looking at the sky now and it’s definitely what my parents would have called a “snow sky”.

More importantly, this morning around 745, it looked like a gravity wave passing overhead. Even my own son who is not the most observant weather kid said “Dad, I’ve never seen clouds like that. It looks like someone threw a big rock in a pond.” Did we have a gravity wave this morning?

Well we're 2 days off the most 70s ever in a winter here. The other two winters we will probably pass in the next week it barely snowed though I guess??? :roll: actually one year(1975) had the worst tornado ever in December here

I'll be watching TWC tomorrow as the northeast gets blasted with an awesome blizzard.

Starting to see some agreement in the models of a strong front (by March standards) moving in around the beginning of March.With a storm system moving in afterwards. The Euro AI has been showing this potential storm for several days now (cutoff low). And the global models seem to be "sniffing" it out now also. Crossing fingers as some much needed rain would be nice.

The front moved through this morning. Winds have been outta the N most of the day and dews have dropped into the 40’s. It’s pretty comfortable out there.

Yukon Cornelius Katy, so way south of you lol, we hit 80 in the afternoon, but their was just enough humidity to make it feels like the mid 80’s here, i guess the actual cold air is lagging quite a bit to our north because we didnt have much of a temperature drop

Smelled a bit of smoke in the air outside today. With NW winds I'm assuming it's from OK/KS/TX wildfires? Could be wrong.

The front blew through Katy around 8 or 9 this morning. Dew points fell quickly into the 50’s behind the front and into the 40’s by mid afternoon across SETX.
