Hey Mama just watched Rob and the weather he says possiblity we may see a snow flurry or two yipeeeeeee
From the Katc Weatherblog today
With colder air moving in, and another disturbance rolling in from the northwest on Monday, it’s not out of the realm of see some light frozen precipitation on Christmas Day and the following night somewhere in Acadiana…we’ll see. The statistical chance of a white Christmas here is just a fraction of a percent, but this year it could be much higher! If you remember, two years ago, many of us saw a white, or at least an icy, Christmas. We’ll see how things play out over the next several days.

Re: Frick & Frack's Snowfall Thread
It will be interesting to watch and see what happens in our area this year. The set up suggests a warmer than normal Winter season with a few very sharp cold dumps into our area. IF we can get one of the cold dumps to come through with the right moisture in place we MIGHT get lucky. I am not going to hold my breath waiting though as I still care to live.

But remember 1982 and 1989 both brought some snow in those long duration Artic Blasts. We shall see what the end of December into early January has in store.

I honestly feel we have the same chance of snow/frozen precip every year it all comes down to timing. The winter could be above average but with one very cold week and moisture thrown in then boom! It's been a while since my area has REALLY seen some accumulation (I want to say it was new years sometime early in the 2000s) so this could be the year. It seems we have some sort of minor wintry precip event every winter. We had sleet Easter weekend this year!

It's three years old and it's got 2 pages.
Funny, I thought it would have a total of 3 posts, all saying the same thing.
Just kidding.

I'm off to see the wizard... the wonderful wizard of Oz... you'll find he is a whiz of a wiz, if ever a wiz there was... because because because because because because of the snow he's going to bring us.
And if he doesn't, I'll take his heart, his conscience, his brain, and his little dog too.

Re: Frick & Frack's Snowfall Thread
what current strength is the La nina or it's chances of being labeled "strong"
in strong la nina years the chance for snow in the florida pan handle increases

Re: Frick & Frack's Snowfall Thread
Don't let Portastorm read the AFD's from EWX and HGX this afternoon concerning the first Canadian Front...snipet...
EWX...
ALTHOUGH NOT IN
THE FORECAST DUE TO ABOVE FREEZING SURFACE TEMPERATURES..THERE MAY
BE SOME LIGHT SLEET OR SNOW MIXED IN WITH THE COLD RAIN OVER
SOUTHERN SECTIONS OF THE CWFA DURING THE DAY WEDNESDAY. NO
ACCUMULATIONS ARE EXPECTED.
http://www.srh.noaa.gov/fwd/productview ... &version=0
HGX...
BUT THE MAIN TWIST IN THIS STORY WILL BE IN THE POST FRONT-
AL WX REGIME. MODELS INTENT ON KEEPING THE AXIS OF THE UPPER TROF/
LOW WELL BEHIND THE INITIAL COLD FRONT (FROM 12-24HRS DEPENDING ON
THE SOLN OF CHOICE...WITH ECMWF THE FASTEST AND UKMET/GFS SLOWER).
FOR NOW...HAVE ERRED TOWARD THE SLIGHTLY SLOWER GUIDANCE WITH THIS
FCST. AS SUCH ALL OF THIS ALL POINTS TO A COLD/WET/RAINY/BREEZY WX
PATTERN STARTING TUE NIGHT LASTING THROUGH UNTIL EARLY THUR OR SO.
ON A SIDE NOTE PROGGED SOUNDINGS STILL LOOK A BIT TOO WARM FOR ANY
MENTION OF WINTRY PRECIP ATTM BUT A WIND ADVISORY IS STILL LIKELY.
