Any Denton posters? mPing is verifying snow with that portion of the band and it should be moving into Denton shortly.

Do the weather gods hate us here in North Texas?

I think they do.... But winter is nowhere near cancelled. I have it on good authority that next week will be interesting to watch, but February is the time for snow in North Texas!

Careful Epicman, posts can and will be deleted. Emotions can run high for sure in winter. I have had one or two deleted a few years ago I think. But I certainly agree, Mother needs to give us a break. It has been 3 years since the last significant snow in DFW.

Also, a decent number of them snow and freezing rain/overrunning event for central/south Texas Tuesday/Wednesday
The ensembles sure do look interesting for next week though any particular solution is tricky at best to nail down. Suffice to say it will be cold and unsettled. The late week time frame looks like the best bet based on what I have seen.


Funny how all the TV mets are touting a warmup next week. 68 forecast for Friday and Saturday.

Up in Ponder, got a few minutes of flurries and that was it. It’s all over already

That is indicated by some models. Spots just to my NW, like Wills Point or Sulphur Springs, could get something good.

Looks like it's on the uptick in Denton County!

Not that I can confirm, but from my third floor porch( wouldn't call it a balcony), looking north I can see a lower cloud deck with something falling in the sky, similar to watching a rain storm from a distance. Probably a county up from Dallas; Denton more than likely.

18z GFS looks better for next week. Not a lot better, but a step in the right direction.

I just drove home to Frisco from Fw. Sky was dark and you could see precipitation falling. Then the sky got lighter right along with the radar as time went on. Dry cold and clouds this year:). At least we’re getting a winter. All the ponds in my neighborhood froze over around New Year’s Day. I’ll take that over last year for sure.
