But the fact that the city is San Antonio is a bad thing for anyone wanting snow.
The ULL is pulling up warmer moist air from the gulf in its rotation. The soundings earlier showed colder air but now its above freezing so you know that its come up from the gulf.
But when the ULL gets closer its got a cold core (cold air above is the reason air rises causing the lower pressure and rotation) so it will change over to just snow.
I'm not saying your'e going to get inches but the fact that there is moisture is not a bad thing if you want snow.

Did you move back here??
Yeah, California's too much of a freaking mess.Plus I hated seeing my family only twice a year.
was icing a bit when i was driving around like 15 mins ago... people are dumb as here, going 20 in a 55 mph zone. it wasn't "snowing" nor icing enough for that stupidity on the road.
There's a freezing wet mist right now. I wouldn't even call it drizzle. It is encasing stuff in ice really slowly.
Pretty lame.
BB next time I'm in SA we need to go have a beer. I'll bring you some ing snow from NM.![]()
Better not ing be yellow snow.
I gotta move to Montana and live near Yellowstone for a winter. I can't ing believe I could go walk on snow at the end of August up there but all I get here in the dead of winter is a bunch of ing ice on my car.![]()
I'll believe snow in this ing city when I see it.
Having said that, if there is really next to no snow, everyone but KABB will have been wrong in their forecasts.![]()
All the ing snow on the radar is turning in bull sleet. Next time I see Steve Brown he's getting a punch.
I don't think anything is happening here, Manny. Correct if I'm wrong (too lazy to go look).
On one hand, meh, disappointing. On the other, dear Lord, I need work to be open tomorrow afternoon (never thought I'd say that).
Nah its building in fairly well. Its pretty damn light but most snow is. I've seen a decent light snow fall when there is nothing but the lowest type of returns on radars. I think you'll get mostly snow for a good bit tonight. East sides and SE sides will have it the longest I think. The further NW you are the smaller your amounts and timeframe will be.
Later tonight into tomorrow for Houston. The system is moving west to east and its still west of SA.
What does ALL CAPS have to say?
Flabbergasted that Continental and someone else stopped flying in Houston at 3PM today. Talk about overreacting.

.now...
...winter weather advisory in effect until noon cst friday...
Through 11:30 pm...isolated showers of freezing drizzle and snow
will develop. Any freezing drizzle will be short lived as evaporation
cools the atmosphere. Once this cooling occurs...all of the
precipitation will be snow.
They upgraded to a winter weather warning which is a step above the advisory. My guess is because the drizzel is already freezing.

Gracias, Manny.
I don't know what's worse tonight: a reprise of the sleet on a night of supposed snow or the return of the 2009-10 Spurs offense in Staples Center.
Neither - Reggie Miller's color commentary is the iest item of the night by far. BY FAR.
Cut your left wrist.
Cut your right wrist.
Both equal about the same.
Though I have become immune to bad color commentary after watching Heinsohn for years on CBS.
He's ing terrible man. I have no clue how he has a job. I guess he and Cheryl have some Turner execs by the balls.
