Snow...

[benefactor]

...and lots of it. It's probably not much to some of our posters up north, but it's the biggest snow storm East Texas has seen in better than 20 years. I'd say we got somewhere between 6-8 inches.

I just go through making the 25mph trek to work. I took some pictures and I will post them later when I get home. How do things look for you Dallas folks?

[Viva Las Espuelas]

Lots of snow here.

[DPG21920]

My area got 11 inches or so. Crazy. Work got canceled today because of the ice that formed last night.

WOW pretty cool !

In Dallas? You're crazy. There's no ice on the roads to even be remotely concerned. Nothing but slush.

[DPG21920]

In Dallas? You're crazy. There's no ice on the roads to even be remotely concerned. Nothing but slush.

Well, I am just reporting that my office closed. The news last night said ice formed because there was a lot more moisture than expected. Most everywhere is either closed or had delayed openings until 11.

[101A]

San Antonio native; moved up here to PA in '05; in the past week: ~38 inches!

AND - despite today's forcast for some Sun (although still high in the mid 20's) - it's snowing right now!

[Fpoonsie]

They closed UNT yesterday at noon and it's closed all day today. The snow hasn't even started to melt yet at my apt.

[Obstructed_View]

Got a foot of snow here. A foot. of. snow. I have to look outside just to verify I'm not crazy before I type that.

Any freezing rain yet? When I was over there in 2007 you had a week of that. I took some real cool pics of it, and nearly got killed by falling ice. How many people get killed by falling ice (from powerlines and trees) after freezing rain events I wonder?

Why cant you alarmists understand that?

Alright...here's a few pics. As I said, it's probably nothing to those north of Texas, but it's the first meaningful snow we have had here in 22 years.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Most single day snowfall in metroplex history


it was the best snow that could have possibly snowed...wish i had the day off i would have played all fucking day

There was little or no wind...and the temperature itself was not painfully cold. The snow was a steady gentle downfall. For twenty four straight hours.

Supposedly some carports in coppell collapsed because of all the snow. I was outside a couple nights ago and this huge tree branch collapsed from the weight. Awesome.

[Bartleby]

sleet/snow outside in austin already. sleet starting to accumulate a bit too.

[robino2001]

Sleeting like a mofo here in RR.

I had 2" of snow on the ground when I left home this morning (NE RR)... enough sleet from the overnight to freeze over the driveway pretty well. Snow stopped when I left for work and on the drive in, I saw less and less snow the further I got from home.

Just tons of freezing rain now but it's just a tiny change away from turning back into a texas blizzard.

[mrsmaalox]

This is so weird! Sunday I got a sunburn on my forehead driving around with the top down, and today.....90% chance of sleet or snow or something? Next time someone tells me they prefer to live in a place with all 4 seasons, I'll just tell them that we see all 4 seasons in one week. Hell, sometimes in one day!

[MannyIsGod]

I'm actually really surprised the far north side of San Antonio isn't getting snow yet because they've had several hours of evaporational cooling. I'd be ever more surprised if it didn't snow or sleet within the next 3 hours.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

Keep on doing your snow dance, SA.

:lmao

[Shelly]

It's sleeting at my house right now--

1606/Bandera--1606/Braun area

[MannyIsGod]

Its been snowing just 40 miles from SA all morning so far. Wasn't Austin getting it too already? There is a 1000 foot difference between most of SA and Kerrville, though, and that makes a lot of difference.

Still, lots of places in NW SA over 1k feet elevation so if you live out on those hills you will see things first. But really I think by 1pm or so people on here in SA will start posting OMG ITS SNOWING.

I actually think we might see some ... because my daughter finally gave up on ever seeing any in her lifetime. :lol

[mrsmaalox]

My cleaning ladies just arrived, they drive up from St. Hedwig (south?) and said from about midtown on they had sleet all the way here.

[Shelly]

it's now turned back to rain, but i'm sure we'll get more!

[JudynTX]

:rolleyes Just thick rain right now.

[Shelly]

back to sleet and a little heavier now!

[MannyIsGod]

I think the stuff coming into western SA is going to be sleet because the returns on radar show it to be fairly heavy but I doubt its heavy rain. Its probably just the sleet showing up stronger on radar (kinda like hail).

[Fpoonsie]

Weird. It's not snowing in Denton at all and we were s'posed to get about 2-3 inches.

Can the resident ST Weather Manny (rimshot) help me out? Is the winter weather moving this way or were the weather guys mistaken?

Oh and no clue about Denton but you might be too far north. Looks like south of Dallas is the bulls eye.

[Shelly]

It's snowing!!!

[MannyIsGod]

So after this band of sleet passes I think there are 2 really light thin bands between here and the upper level low in West Texas. You'd better listen to Viva and do the snow dance for those bands.

[MannyIsGod]

It's snowing!!!

Snowing now in Stone Oak!

[JudynTX]

Snowing now in Stone Oak!

I don't believe it. :lol

[MannyIsGod]

This round of stuff will come to an end fairly soon. The ULL is still in West Texas but its moving fast. I think there's a decent shot at a band of really light snow coming through later this afternoon.

I do think after this band goes through the temp will drop a bit more from evaporational cooling so if anything else falls this afternoon is more likely to be snow than sleet or rain.

[Blake]

Snowing now in Stone Oak!

I'm out there at the moment as well.

It's falling lightly like snow, but there is still some sleet mixed in by the way it's bouncing off the hood of my car.

[MannyIsGod]

Northern SA has the best shot for snow (obviously). I'm not too far south of Shelly and I've yet to see a single flake - just a ton of sleet. My back deck has about half an inch of slush on it and my table and chairs back there are iced over really good after this round of sleet.

[Shelly]

It stopped snowing here, but i do have some sleet accumulation

[MannyIsGod]

Yeah the rain here has completely stopped and its just sleet. That'll probably stop too by noon.

[Shelly]

getting some flakes again mixed in

That was wimpy and it got my students too wild today and we weren't able to get anything done today because all they thought about was snow. It mostly rained with a little sleet and yes a few minutes of snow and then ended quickly. At lunch I thought there was a fight that started in the lunch room because you could hear all the students screaming like something broke out.
