Just make your own forecast with surface observations, jet-stream patterns, dew point, temperature, and pressure. If you have a good eye, trending the information will generally give you a quick glance at what will happen next.

Same here. I'm 1/2 way between you and DFW.

But, I haven't trusted a weatherman since Harold Taft died.

You and I are now under a Winter Storm Warning with up to 8 inches possible. "Possible" being key, never trust the weather talking heads.

Yep, they lied to us again.  Right now it is 32F in Grapevine, there is white stuff on the ground, and the streets look wet, not frozen.

The leading edge of the storm just hit Wichita Falls just a few minutes ago, but it's still a bit too warm for it to stick.  The temps are supposed to drop all day though, so I think by early afternoon we'll see buildups on the street in addition to snow/ice on the grass and other unpaved areas.

The national weather service says 2-4 inch accumulations possible, which is up from 1-2 inches expected as of last night.  Temps are higher than forecast right now but I guess there is also more precip than expected.

I'm already told to hold off on going to work until at least 8am, but I think the roads will be nasty by the time I need to leave home to go to work so I'll probably end up staying home.  No gaming for me today though...  my 23 month old boy and 2 month old girl are both pretty high maintenance so I won't get any breaks today.

They always do. If I had it to do over again I would definitely be a weatherman. I mean "meteorologist". No accountability!!

I don't quite have the hair for it though.

[Thruster]

Then just do stock analysis. Same job, no camera's.

[Slash27]

I'm kind of vain and want the attention.

It's still snowing

 

Hopefully it will be gone be the start of next week..

[Slash27]

Of course it will be gone, it's North Texas!!

We'll have tornados on Monday

careful. often, when the roads look just wet, there is a layer of ice under the water.........

that being said.....i wish i could get paid for being wrong so often...

[branch37]

Not cold enough to be icy.  I drove to work without any slippage at all and that includes one long overpass which would have been blocked with piles of vehicles if there had been (always is, they never learn) icy conditions.

Around here the most likely vehicles to be seen stuck or wrecked are Jeeps and any other 4 wheel drive vehicle.  The drivers seem to think they are impervious to ice because they can spin all 4 wheels at one time.  Go figure.

It is barely hanging at 32F.  Later this afternoon/evening is when the trouble will begin.

We have a lot of snow accumulation even on the roads up here, although the temps are 33-32F.  It's just falling fairly heavily.  The weather warning has been updated, predicting 5-8 inches of accumulation.  That's up from 1-2 inches predicted last night...

I'm just sitting at home wishing I had managed to get to the grocery store one more time.  We're not out of anything except cereal and lunch meat, but it would have been nice to restock.  No way in heck I'm gonna drive in this stuff.

One of my students managed to make it into work this morning...  He lives on base and only has a 2 mile "commute", and it took him almost 30 minutes to make it that 2 miles.

And it continues to snow..
