Texas Winter 2016-2017

[wxman57]

I really don't understand how we can go from talking about 1983 or 1989 to going to a warm end of December? The two are so completely opposite it's laughable

Oh and the 12z GFS doesn't even have a freeze at DFW for the entire 16 days and has 60s and 70s for Christmas.

The GFS parallel run has sub-freezing temps & maybe a snow flurry next Sunday:

I think some people forget how cold 2012-2014 was.... I saw 11 degrees in Conroe and overall those Winters were some doozies.

Not every Winter will be cold because we live in a hell hole for Winter weather. It's why I'm leaving the disgusting dump called Houston in late December and headed for Montana.

The euro still has a good freeze for DFW and highs around freezing next Sunday after near 75 on Saturday

Then a cold rain and 30s to open Christmas week

Brent， orangeblood mention winter storm in that timeframe u alluded to. Possible on euro

[Brent]

The euro snow map actually shows some snow accumulation near and just southwest of DFW next Monday. On the meteogram temps are above freezing barely aloft and surface at DFW

Thankfully it appears the 1983 and 1989 talk around here will go for naught. Fine by me. I still like our odds in Jan-Feb for wintry weather threats. But perhaps December will end up much milder than we all thought.

Terrible

Shadows of 2015=2016 all over again. "Cold Rain"....endless "Cold Rain".

I posted yesterday that something would come out of the gulf in the 7-10 day time-frame, and the NE 1/4 Texas would be affected, pattern recognition.

Small cold front making it's way through here. Dropped the temp 10 degrees so far. Feels nicer than almost 70!

[Brent]

GFS para also excited about next Sunday. It's been generally more bullish than the op GFS

[Tireman4]

Flippity floppity

[ThunderSleetDreams]

Long range GFS wants to flip the Pacific pattern again

That would be the week after Christmas

I'm from Wyoming but grew up in Sugarland.I left Texas for good in 2012 and came back to Cheyenne.Houston winters suck if you like cold,but my fascination with weather was because of the cold outbreak of 89 and the one in 1990 that gets overlooked.

1989 is solely responsible for my love of severe Winter Weather. It was a blast playing in that Winter Wonderland in Longview.

I'm headed to Big sky the 27th through the 1st

I suspect many of us became weather lovers after that event.When it gets below zero here I get excited and people look at me like I'm crazy.I'm like well you haven't had to spend summer in Houston.Montana is great.Enjoy

Too bad I don't remember it. I was only a year old in 89

it was terrific.I was 13.A half an inch of snow and 6 degrees in Sugarland.I'm not sure with all of the buildings that record will be touched again.

That's crazy! If it was 6 degrees there in Sugar Land it probably was about the same around where I live. I'm about 30 minutes southwest of Sugar Land. We usually have about the same temps. We did get about 6" of snow here Christmas Eve of 04. Now that I'll never forget.

Two benchmarks for me... I grew up in Alabama so the blizzard of 1993 I was 4 years old lol(still the only time I've seen more than 4 or 5 inches) and Hurricane Opal for hurricane season(which was still a hurricane 4 hours inland). Everything since I can remember watching or tracking.

Yep. I guess it was a once in a lifetime event.I waited years for a repeat and it never did.The winters seemed to get warmer with 11 being the exception and then I moved back up here .

lol reminds me of being a kid and watching the weather channel all day and night when there was something brewing in the tropics.I also would call Dr Neil Frank and harass him on the khou weather line lol.
