Texas Winter 2017-2018

[Theepicman116]

Much of Tarrant county still getting some snow however it’s just a dusting. Hopefully we get more than just a dusting.

This looks like a big bummer for north of DFW Seems like we have had a lot of cold this winter up this way, but can’t get any precipitation

Another one of those "too cold to snow" situations. This winter has turned out to be a big ol Winter Cancel in my book. It's not winter unless we get a good sleet or snow storm for me.

Well considering this part of the world only averages around an inch of snow every year, this storm coming up is what "winter" is typically like around these parts. Nothing too out of the ordinary, just so many factors have to come together for frozen precip considering our latitude

I'm good with sleet, actually. It looks like snow. It's been hard to even get that the past couple of years.

Euro looks like it will hold steady for the northeast quarter of the state

Anyone notice 1050mb high in Nebraska? Been trending west with the HP

Yep, definitely been following that. That’s some bone chilling cold on the Euro. Crazy strong hp.

Did euro change any?

[TeamPlayersBlue]

The trough has been trending west for this cold front. This is very good news. Especially for us in SE Tx, lowers the affect of the Ouachita mountains.

It's about 5 deg colder for SE TX on Wednesday. Heavier snow west of San Antonio/Austin, lighter snow DFW area.

Don't expect much more here than cold rain possibly mixed in with some sleet pellets on Tuesday. Te setup is nothing close to the Dec. 8th snow.

Since less snow for DFW does that mean less to no snow for Tyler and points east?
We do seem to be mostly cold and dry so far this winter.

Rather disappointing to see the Euro start to dry out the 1st system, kind of feels like the beginning of the end

At this point, can't put any stock on the 2nd round given the model issues here lately.

Bubba, what do you mean by euro dry out the 1st system? We have folks who are concerned about closings Tuesday. We need to elaborate so plans can be made.

QPF across DFW is basically cut in half with most areas down to 0.10" or below. Without looking at soundings, probably little to no accumulation west of I35 and then slowly increasing as you head NE. Significant accumulations (2"+) look to be confined to NE Texas into the ArkLaTx.

ETA: Obviously, people should focus on what the local NWS office and local mets are forecasting.

So what you're saying is that Lucy is teeing up the football for DFW.

It still looks like it will snow. But most were optimistically hopeful it would be some inches, but we need qpf and we are threading tenths of an inch makes a difference between dusting or 2"

Correct, i wrote off the possibility of snow long ago. Huge warm nose. Ice or sleet wouldnt be the worst here, i enjoy any winter precip.

My hopes were going down until you posted that. I am in Greenville. Maybe we will see a little something.

Well standing outside right now doing some car maintenance, I can confirm that the Gulf is open for business and it's beautiful out. Enjoy it while you can.

Tech model not a friend to Dallas

[South Texas Storms]

None of the WRF models (TX Tech, NMM, and ARW) show much snow for Dallas. Most precip is south of DFW on those runs.
