From this mornings NWS forecast discussion...
BOTH THE 00Z GFS AND ECMWF SOLUTIONS BRING A 550-555DAM 500MB LOW
INTO WEST TEXAS ON TUESDAY AND ACROSS OUR AREA TUESDAY NIGHT. THE
ECMWF IS A TAD SLOWER AND DEEPER WITH THE LOW...WHICH WOULD BE
MORE SNOW FAVORABLE...AND FOR A GREATER PORTION OF OUR AREA.
FORECAST SOUNDINGS FROM THE 00Z GFS40 SHOW A CLASSIC "SNOW
SOUNDING" FOR POINTS IN THE NORTHERN HILL COUNTRY AND EDWARDS
PLATEAU LATE TUESDAY NIGHT AS THE UPPER LOW MOVES OVERHEAD. THE
THEME HERE IS INCREASING CONFIDENCE IN OUR FORECAST OF FROZEN
PRECIP TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY FOR PORTIONS OF OUR AREA.
Doubtful, although sleet wouldn't be out of the question. It takes just the right conditions for actual snow here, and those conditions usually happen in Jan or Feb.
I've lived here 25+ years, and it's snowed on three days, and two of those three were in 1985, so don't get your hopes up. All three of those days were also in Jan or Feb. We get crappy winter weather sometimes, but it's usually sleety or frozen rain as a precursor to an ice storm.
I wish.
But then again, people can barely drive right when it rains here, all will break loose if it snows.
I hope, I miss the snow.
Far more likely up in the Hill Country than here. Just gotta wait to see how the models shape up over the weekend. The upper air dynamics do look fairly promising though.
I can only wish.
I remember back in 85/86 when it Snowed, I would sit at the bottom of my street and watch cars slide down into the ditch.
Wouldn't it be nice if it really snowed? I know I'm dreaming
It's not so cute when it freezes in da Hill Country, and you have no electricity and can't shower or flush. Also can't leave your road to go to da store to get da groceries.
never seen snow in my life
Hopefully don't see any frozen precipitation. Ice sucks. Everything is wet, its too cold to do anything outdoors other than mess around, everything gets canceled, power goes out, there's a bunch of tree bark and junk to clean, so on and so forth.
No snow next week. And that's a great thing! If you want snow don't hope for it here, MOVE!
Seriously, pretty when falling and after first on the ground, but all downhill after that.
Wait six hours and it will all melt.It's not so cute when it freezes in da Hill Country, and you have no electricity and can't shower or flush. Also can't leave your road to go to da store to get da groceries.
Actually, the last ice storm we had closed my work for two days, and that was in the city. It was probably worse and longer in the HC.
Last winter, everyone freaked out [it seems] as if they never saw snow before. I guess they got so used to global warming, they forgot what snow was. This year, I expect it to be worse than last year, and I will really be pissed if the city lib s running the place aren't ready like last year for it. How hard is it to stick fine crushed grave, street deicer, and to keep the vehicles serviceable? Last years snow should have been plowed, deiced, streets graveled etc. to make it only a 2 day hardship on drivers. Because of lack of preparedness, in an area that historically has such weather, we had weeks of troubling commutes.
I would like to think they learned from last year, but we are talking about the liberals who run Portland...
Cobra, you're so ing stupid.
Oh and quit depending on the government.
LOL...
There are certain things we do expect our tax dollars to wisely be spent on.
However... Since government primarily s things up, I sure am glad I don't get as much government as I pay for!
Are you sure that was real snow? What does Myth Busters have to say?
So is it going to snow or what?
Do you watch the news or look at weather sites?
Weather link for pandas...
no it will not snow.
I hate getting teased like this.
They are predicting it for Friday! The high is only going to be 35. Nothing is supposed to stick, though.
And FYI, Mountain Cedar has crept back in
My son has yet to play in snow...much less seen it up close. This is san antonio.
The devils ear wax...weather wise.
Depends on how cold the air is. The upper level low passing us right now is really big so it could possibly pull down a lot of cold air. We'll see.AS THE LOW MOVES OFF TO THE EAST...IT WILL OPEN THE GATE FOR
ANOTHER WAVE OF COLD AIR TO COME FROM THE NORTHWEST THURSDAY AND
THURSDAY NIGHT. FORECAST SOLUTIONS SHOW INCREASING CHANCES OF
COLD RAIN DURING THE DAY ON FRIDAY...LIMITING ANY TYPE OF DAYTIME
WARMING FOR FRIDAY. THE NORTHERN PARTS OF SOUTH CENTRAL TEXAS...
MAINLY THE HILL COUNTRY TO ADJACENT PARTS OF CENTRAL TEXAS COULD
HAVE SOME SNOW AND SLEET MIXED WITH THE COLD RAIN ON
FRIDAY MORNING. THE COLD RAIN MAKING WEATHER SYSTEM FRIDAY
WILL BE MOVING AT A QUICKER PACE...SO EXPECT COLD RAIN OR
PRECIPITATION TO END FROM THE WEST LATE FRIDAY THROUGH
