I'm not a pro-met, no professional rep on the line, I hope my pessimistic outlook busts huge. I want 4 inches of snow.

Just saying, so far, 0Z models are a buzzkill.

They look the same as they were at 12z when the NWS made their update

No you're wrong. The models only show flurries. The NWS needs to get rid of the watch.

Sublimation

You're right. Both US models suggest flurries over an 18 hour period. What could I be thinking? Blizzard warning. Call up the National Guard!

That is not in the least what they suggest. If this was the case, the NWS wouldn't be so worried

Over 18 hours- if that is snow it'll sublimate. Nobody wants snow more than I do, but childish weenieness doesn't help.

Lol. I don't know WTF you're talking about now.

I guess the NWS is lying when they say this could be a dangerous event. Thanks for the heads up, Ed

I'm spoiled, that isn't epic. And won't cancel school.

And I'll call in sick if school is cancelled.

Have fun driving to work on the icy roads, then...

No significant changes on the 0z GFS, except for slightly colder temps aloft and a faster transition to all snow

This is such an interesting event. For once we won't be sitting here wondering when the freezing line will be here; It will already be here

I'm really excited and concerned.

Yes. Definitely concerned

They didn't change the sleet and snow accumulations across Houston at all. They increased ice accumulation, especially near the coast

NWS has changed their tune and is only forcasting a Wintry Mix for Urban Houston....I'm starting to get bummed out now. Next thing you know it will just be a cold rain. crap, somebody talk me off the ledge because I want snow. Not a crippling ice storm...I'd rather just have rain if we not going to...

It appears we really won't have a good handle on snowfall accumulations for another 24-36 hours. It would sure help to have a sounding station close to Houston. The HGX office can launch soundings for special weather events. If this isn't one, I don't know what is. I was actually wondering about th...
