Amazed there are NO schools in Houston at least delaying opening. Like I said earlier - I think there is total denial and disbelief in the forecasting. We will see what happens between 4-6 am.

Just a friendly heads up to those of you receiving frozen precipitation this evening. When you try to enter your vehicle in the mornings, be cautious! I couldn't get my driver side door open this morning and was pulling on it with all my might to get it open....

My door handle is currently in my center console. I ended up having to enter through my passenger side door. If one door of your vehicle won't open, try another one first before trying to pull on the handle to force it open.

Aaaand on that note, anyone got any recommendations of what I can use to glue my driver side door handle back to the rest of it? I've never been in such a "sticky" situation before

Yeah. I think those south of SA and those currently near Laredo could have some big impacts for whoever ends up beneath that. Looks like largest impacts will be midway between SA and Houston along I10 and areas north.

This seems like a bad setup for Houston, just eyeballing things as they seem to be occurring at the moment. Just saying.

It would seem the 0Z NAM and 18Z GFS may have been out to lunch on qpf values, pulling up an AUS meteogram of the 0Z GFS in a moment.

TeamPlayersBlue · #9650 Postby **TeamPlayersBlue** » Tue Mar 04, 2014 1:12 am

32.9F here, im going to take a nap.

#9651 Postby **ravyrn** » Tue Mar 04, 2014 1:15 am

0Z GFS

vs

18Z GFS

0Z seems to be more accurate, given the obvious.

DISCLAIMER: Just realized the title of the 18Z GFS meteogram is incorrect. It should read "3 MARCH 12PM CST GFS Raw Model Output for AUSTIN" I apologize for the error.

Also: For future discussion: Are any other models picking up on the wetness at the start of next week? I'd love those QPF values to become a reality.

If all that precip holds together coming out of Mexico, there is going to be a HUGE mess in Houston tomorrow morning. :eek:

Whats your temp in Sugarland? 0Z GFS doesn't have you getting below 34F.

I was about to post a meteogram for you, but I don't see the point. It looks like you're already at 33F and the 0Z GFS has you at 37F for midnight.

Texashawk · #9655 Postby **Texashawk** » Tue Mar 04, 2014 1:32 am

Several weather stations in Sugar Land are reporting 32-33 degrees at this point.

#9656 Postby **ravyrn** » Tue Mar 04, 2014 1:44 am

I'll post these just for the heck of it.

0Z GFS for Sugarland.

0Z NAM for Sugarland.

I'm not sure how well these will do given Sugarland is currently at 33F. We're well beyond referencing the models at this point, but I wanted to share these two meteograms to illustrate how important it is to pay attention to real-time situations as an event draws near as opposed to relying on models.

The radar looks insane right now.

TeamPlayersBlue · #9658 Postby **TeamPlayersBlue** » Tue Mar 04, 2014 5:06 am

Stuck at 32.5, still no ice

TexasSam · #9659 Postby **TexasSam** » Tue Mar 04, 2014 5:10 am

My digital thermometer must be off a bit it's raining and has ice on it, but it says 32.7 . :cold:

I've never known one that could be effectively repaired rather than replaced.
