It has just in the past 15 minutes started to snow here in Weatherford. 31°. Mostly small flakes but a few big flakes mixing in.

Things picking up a little, eh? :wink:

Band way out west is trying to build north, and more spotty pockets of moisture are developing closer to home. Good signs.

Haven't checked lately. Last time I checked, the RR wasn't picking up the band out west that well.

The radar is the best forecaster right now.

A similar setup to what?

im trying to find the analog* now im not predicting anything im just saying precip is nearly stationary and back building. I think lift is being provided from far west texas. who knows but it is almost sure we in dfw will see some light snow.

oh man we have bright banding showing up on radar directly west of dfw and collin county moving east! i think the lift from west texas and moisture stream is contributing to this event. Lets hope we can build a snow man by tuesday morning
