I've beena a guest on here for days now reading up on everything. I just had a question, which I know is pointless, but curious on some of hte answers some of y'all top experts have. haha.. So, my question is, I know obviously from what I have read, It's impossible to get the temperatures/precipita...

I know that we are not looking at a Dec. 1989-type outbreak next week, but I am curious, if anyone knows, at what point did we get a grasp of just how cold it was going to be in Houston in terms of the 7 degree temps etc that the system brought down here. Was that in the forecast or were the foreca...

Euro looking good, waiting for the rest of the run. Definitely MUCH cooler than other runs.

In for the Euro.

So does this mean no more record breaking cold ?? REMEMBER! This was just two model runs, do not treat this as a trend or consistency. Give it a few more runs, at least until tomorrow at this time. Saturday will be judgment day for this system. Also, in set-ups like this, it has been said that this...

I thought it didn't look as strong. Looks like two days of barely freezing for us... Reading that right?

With the Euro...

My UNTRAINED eyes tell me its a 1048 high over Montana.
Not quite as strong as earlier runs...

Shows the cold air stalling around here, but enough to freeze us for a few days.

12z GFS will be telling.

No night crew it seems. Euro should be rolling around this time.

Myforecast.com is the place to go for all of us wish-casters.
Not sure which model they pull from, but i hope it verifies

00z is quite a bummer. Still shows some cold, just longer to get here.

Let's see what the Euro shows.

6z GFS looks way warmer. Hopefully the 12z will bring back the Freezmageddon.

Well, all of this just means one thing, winter is far from over...
Should have one or two strong shots of cold air, certainly a pattern change for this winter.

Just for kicks, the 18z GFS shows 15 degrees at 384 hours out. LOL.

Wx Underground has backed off, now it will be a balmy -85F Wednesday Night in Ojmjakon. WOW.

Looking at the Wiki page for that town, they stay below 0 from late October to late March.

Happy New Year everybody.

Talk about cold is right, the low in that village in Russia is -94F!!!!
The record was -90F back in 1933, which is the coldest for any inhabited place on earth.
Wonder if it gets broken.

Merry Christmas to everyone associated with the board, 2011 will be a big year for us weather-nuts I think.

12z GFS brings us a nice chilly pattern after Christmas, even colder after New Years Day. Hopefully we can see some verification, the GFS has been pretty spot on, even long range this year.

Being that the meteor shower was just a few days ago, meteor activity should be higher than usual...don't doubt that you did indeed see one.

00z GFS has the cold needed for winter fun at Christmas, but not the moisture.

Could this be a repeat of 2004? A few wacky runs of snowfall end up proving true 15 days later?

Twice in our lifetime, probably not. Time will tell.

I thought it was "dusty the sandman"?

ABC13 mentioned the possibility of a few flakes from College Station over to Lake Livingston and to the northeast. You never know. Now unless something truly magical happens, most of us will see just a cold rain. How about some sleet though? Is that at least possible? Not sure how the profiles have ...

18z teased us. The 00z shows snow only as far south as southern Arkansas.

Its going to be interesting to see how all the factors come into play.
