TX Winter WX Thread #6 - An Icy and Rough Weekend Ahead

[Toady1]

when if it hasnt all ready will texas be called a state of emergency?

Im sure a state of emergency will not be issued until the ice event is evident, and has created major problems with intrastate transportation and threats to human safety and/or property. I would say that the State SOC (state operations center) is activated and manned by now.

Actually ... no. No State of Emergency yet or else I would be getting an "activation" call since I serve on the council. But it could happen if things get bad enough statewide.

I'll be dog. Ive sat in for a state agency a few times, ...I bet your pager will be going off within 12 Portastorm. Im monitoring 40 meter and local 2 meter HAM traffic, nothing major yet. Keep us posted !!

Ft. Worth is reporting light freezing rain. I'd say conditions will be going downhill across the region throughout the afternoon. Can't get over the amount of FFW in CTX either.

Right now, it's 33*F with light rain, but according to TWC's HiRAD observations, we're at 32*F with a Thunder Mix.

My temp just dropped finally to 33.0 with heavy rain.

It is 32 here in Cedar Hill now.

wonder what that must be like with a thunder mix, itll probably turn to a sleet or rain snow mix.
