I've tried to get you some snow, but you're just too far north so far this winter. Perhaps in February. Still 60 degrees here in SW Houston. Nothing expected here until mid morning or so. I'll be in bed soon.

There just isn't much moisture available way up there. Some very dry air is located just north of the DFW area and it's moving southward, which will shut down the precip. The dewpoint has already dropped to 20 degrees at DFW. Moisture is fading away. Greatest moisture will be east of Austin, north of Houston, and south of Dallas-Ft. Worth. Like Houston, Austin should see freezing rain and sleet, which will make bridges and overpasses hazardous tomorrow. Maybe a little snow as the precip ends tomorrow. D-FW may see only a trace of snow again - sorry guys. I'm trying...


Perhaps we will adopt the moniker Trace of Snow Capital of Texas if we get yet another...

So far this winter has hurt more than last year's. At least last year we didn't get teased with snow like this year. Bust after bust after bust is really getting tiresome.

Dropping a degree every minute and a half or so.

I will respectfully disagree. Last winter ended in the mother of all winter torches. We get enough of that every summer.

Looking at the radar, it doesn't look like the moisture is fading away...but we'll see. I'm no pro!

Yep. Seeing the same thing here in Anderson Mill. Here's to hoping the precip shield expands!

Well, even if the snow doesn’t materialize, this should be a cold enough period to freeze our neighborhood ponds here in south Frisco over again. A couple of them were frozen well enough to take an ill advised walk on the ice on New Year’s Day. Huge stalagmites of ice on the rocky shore of lake texoma during that period as well.

Yes, at this point I'd rather have a torch winter. 75 would be nice right now.
