ACCUMULATING SNOW IN WEST HOUSTON!!!!!

[southerngale]

We have got a bunch of snow here in Cy Fair! I have pictures as proof, but I dont know how to post them here! I cant believe everything is white! And more to come!! Yeah!!



Snowball fight at my house!!

Yes you do know how to get them posted.

[Yankeegirl]

ok... hold on.. ill get them right on over to ya!

[JenBayles]

Hey David! You and Susan just go on out and have a good snowball fight this evening! Dave and I are settled in with a roaring fire going while we mind the 23 lb turkey on the smoker. Also enjoying a good apple cider and rum drink....


Can't believe what I'm seeing out the window: Neighbors having snowball fights with the kids - our dogs don't quite know what to make of this stuff. They ran outside full of p & v, stopped cold, and ran right right back in the house. Being as sick as I am at the moment, this is the coolest Christmas present I could have ever asked for.

Heavy snow heading for Houston. 1-1.5 inches of accumulation expected on the grass and rooftops.

Enjoy everybody

[Yankeegirl]

We have already gotten like 1/2 and inch here! Cool! Maybe a white Christmas morning!

[southerngale]

It's coming down here again. I wonder if that big batch of snow on the west side of Houston will make it to Beaumont.

Yankee...I'll get those posted in a bit.

Jeff, if you read my post from the BTR/MSY NWS it talks about a stronger more north low. Do you think us over in south LA can get tonight and tomorrow what you are getting now and later on???

Hurry up and post some pictures already somebody!

I read that on the New Orleans site about the stronger than expected ULL and the possible implications. It's really catching them by surprise. They updated to 80% chance of snow and sleet for Baton Rouge tonight and tomorrow. Lake Charles NWS looks like they're going to take the "Show Me" approach. 20%.

LIGHT SLEET AND OCCASIONAL SNOW FLURRIES CONTINUE ACROSS MUCH OF THE
SOUTHERN HALF OF THE CWA INTO THE AFTERNOON. THIS IS AMOUNTING TO
MORE OF A HOLIDAY SEASONING THAN ANY FORM OF HAZARD OR WEATHER
CONCERN. THE GREATER CONCENTRATION APPEARS TO BE REMAIN GENERALLY
SOUTH OF PORT SULPHUR IN LOWER PLAQUEMINES PARISH. THE 12Z ANALYSES
INDICATE A STRONGLY POSITIVELY TILTED TROUGH ORIENTATION FROM
CENTRAL CANADA TO THE EL PASO TX AREA. A STRONG VORTICITY LOBE WAS
INDICATED OVER CHIHUAHUA STATE IN NORTHERN MEXICO AND QUITE
PRONOUNCED IN WATER VAPOR IMAGERY. THIS FEATURE ALREADY MOVING 6
HOURS FASTER THAN MODELS SUGGEST...WHICH WOULD INDICATE A GREATER
CHANCE FOR LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPMENT IN THE MIDDLE GULF LATER
TONIGHT. IF THIS RESULTS...THEN ISENTROPIC LIFT TO THE NORTH OF THE
LOW INTO SOUTHERN LOUISIANA AND COASTAL MISSISSIPPI MAY BE MORE
PRONOUNCED THAN MODELS INDICATE. THIS WILL ALSO INDUCE GREATER COLD
AIR ADVECTION NEAR THE SURFACE TO MAINTAIN COLDER THAN MOS

THIS...FEEL THERE IS A LIKELIHOOD OF SLEET TO INDUCE A WET BULB
EFFECT AND CONVERT TO SNOW FLURRIES...PERSISTING ON CHRISTMAS DAY

PERCENT OF MEASURABLE...EXCEPT FOR PLAQUEMINES PARISH.

Great pictures...

Snow has started again. It is all snow for sure and the temps are dropping so we may be getting into a very slippery situation by morning. At least 1" would not surprise me by the time it is over.

Fortunately tomorrow's a holiday because I know if people can't drive in an inch of snow here that they can't down there...

[Tri-State_1925]

I've seen the pictures and no accumulation on grass.

This is serious stuff, please don't joke around with accumulation results. I highly doubt it's accumulating down there.
