It was looking like you MIGHT get some light snow in Tahoe next Thursday. However, more recent model runs indicate not much at all. I think you'll see at least a few flakes. GFS does have a big snow event there next Saturday - after you've left. Nothing in Texas for the next two weeks. Upper air pattern just doesn't look good for bringing any really cold air south to Texas.

I mean I'm gonna go to Heavenly probably regardless but I really want to see a little snow falling down in the city. The 12z Euro looks good for Tuesday Night which is interesting

As for the pattern here at least we're not further east :double:

12z Euro picking up on what the ensembles have been hinting at in the longer range. Will this system hold together or will we see it eventually trend to a track that dumps the rain east of DFW????

Westcliffe, CO? I drive through there every year on our way to Crested Butte. Awesome little town.

Yeah, Euro is indicating snow in Tahoe Wed-Fri next week. Maybe that'll satisfy you for the winter and you'll stop all this foolish talk of cold weather and snow in Texas for the rest of this winter? ;-)

BREAKING NEWS! - South Texas Storms and my long-time cold-mongering other coworker in the cubicle next to me have been discussing the end of winter in Texas. I heard talk of no ice/snow events this winter. More later...

Well I am an optimist so I will share something that NBC5 had on earlier this evening. My hosting isn’t working so I’ll even type it out.

Current DFW Snow Drought
15-16 Trace
16-17 .1”
17-18 Trace
18-19 Trace

Last Similar Snow Drought
42-43 Trace
43-44 Trace
44-45 Trace
45-46 .1”

Next 4 Winters after that drought
46-47 6.5”
47-48 8.8”
48-49 3.5”
49-50 1.0”

It’s cyclical as we all need to be reminded, and the historical upside looks nice.

Dead on this thread? Gee, I wonder why? Those daily pronouncements of “I see no evidence for any winter weather in the next 432 weeks!” have sucked the life out of this thread. :lol:

Portastorm, forget unsportsmanlike conduct. Flag 57 for targeting and eject him from the contest. :D :spam:
