According to the NBC5 app radar, parts of Tarrant county should be seeing some flakes.

Hearing some reports of snow south FW. Nothing here in north FW at least IMBY. But, radar shows it ending, so not looking good.

Right? The spinning low, big snow out west. Just too much warmth this time. Damn, what could have been if temps played along with this beautiful moisture.

As the low moves out overnight your area could see something.

Congrats to all who cashed in on liquid and white gold with this system. The pattern may remain ripe into January for more events like this one if some of the long range models verify. Happy New Year!

Some of the snow pictures around Big Spring on FB looks like 10 inches. Very fast accumulations around Weatherford. This is a big storm. So jealous, and my wife is also very upset at missing out, which surprises me. Lol. I have talked about getting a snow machine, but I can’t justify buying an air compressor for two times a year, and it’s not the same as natural snow. I haven’t watched a storm like this one in years and am even following the MO/KS thread on another forum. Latest HRRR runs dump snow on OKC. This reminds me of my college days. I had multiple storms like this to follow in KS, and I remember one amazing storm with thunder snow that dumped a surprising foot. Miss those days, so excited to have anything to track. I believe it will happen this year finally.

I know right? As I was driving through DFW out here earlier I just couldn't help think what could have been with this one

As much as I'm enjoying the fact I chased I still would rather it have been right at home. It really drove me crazy with the fact it shifted away from the metro the last few days. This wasn't some little moisture starved flizzard. That's ulimately why I had to hit the road today... I just had to

I really hope we get another one this winter and maybe it'll have more cold air

Anyway peak of the snow out here in Abilene earlier

FB Friends are posting legit snow in FW now, heavier than just a few flurries. Maybe it will come north with the low.

Happy New Year my friends!

As another one misses the I-35 corridor, our snow drought continues. Glad for the friends out to the west cashing it on another one. Awesome video Brent! God what could have been!

Just saw a photo of 14 inches in Big Spring. Likely a record storm between Midland and Abilene.

its kind of weird actually as much as it looks nice here in Abilene definitely not more than a couple inches imo it was coming down like crazy for a bit and peaked but then there was definitely a big lull. I'm wondering how much Eastland had as they seemed to be snowing during our lull... I almost stayed there instead. No regrets coming to Abilene because well its just more options on stuff but yeah I'm definitely curious to see the totals

also the roads seem to be in good shape I saw some cars moving on the interstate

What sucks really is how pretty and perfect the setup was. the ingredients were there for a blockbuster snowfall for the 35 corridor. And we just had to miss it! Got nothing in the hill country. Everything got dry slotted. HRRR had my hopes up with a few inches there for me to chase. Sigh.. Happy to new year though! It's still early to give up on snow :wink:

Well the silver lining is at least with all the rain there should not be any fires from everyone shooting off fireworks right now in my neighborhood.

Happy New Year!!!!!

I'm just trying to get some sleep at this point.

Please tell me more about this mythical snow machine. I already have a good compressor.
