Re: February 5-11-11 Winter Weather Advisories Issued
As I feared the radar is showing "building" returns to our W and SW. Radar and ground reports are now confirming that some of this is coming down as winter precip. Could be very messy aw we move into the afternoon unless this trend stops. Currently 33f here at the house in Spring Branch wi...

Re: February 5-11-11 Winter Weather Advisories Issued
Kinda wonder with the temp dropping as fast as it is will the chill outrace the moisture and ice the roads? Also will the power lines ice over? With the stiff winds predicted for the area along with possible icy lines, I'm concerned about power outages. We work with many of the utility companies. T...

Re: February 5-11-11 Winter Weather Advisories Issued
I was noticing last night and it appears to be the case today that the front is "meandering" in as it comes. That was showing up last night even in W. TX and the DFW area. Fropa is imminent here if Steve has it. Oops, calling fropa at 10:18 in Spring Branch. Temp just started dropping from...

Re: February 5-11-11 Winter Weather Advisories Issued
I wonder why this cold blast (and it's currently in the teens in the hill country) is not being tracked with as much enthusiasm as the last front? (I'm at 45 degrees in NW Houston near 249/Grant Rd. wind about 7 mph out of the NW) I suspect folks are feeling a bit burned by last weeks event and fra...

Re: February 1-5, 2011 Arctic Blast/Winter Storm Discussion
This is from Air Force Met at Storm2k. The rundown on our ice storm/not snow storm science I have heard. Meteorology 101. I've got lots of lessons learned for this past event. I am putting a bust review together and will be glad to share when its completed. I already know where the forecast when wr...

Re: February 6-28, 2011 Discussion: Another Artic Blast ?

Re: February 1-5, 2011 Arctic Blast/Winter Storm Discussion
North Pasadena is experiencing alot of melting ice right now. Most vehicles are almost ice free and run off from the building roof is pretty strong. Same in the Spring Branch area too finally. I am becoming interested in the next 5-7 days now. Watching local OCM's saying it won't be much. We shall ...

Re: February 1-5, 2011 Arctic Blast/Winter Storm Discussion
My daughter in Copperfield was having some more Freezing Rain a little while ago. Has anyone in that area seen anything? Here in Spring Branch we have almost 1/4" glaze on everything. Driveway is a little iced but surface street is ok. Not going out to check though. Son had to work but they fin...

Re: February Weather. Snow/Sleet/Ice/Winter Storm Warning
The precip would probably have to intensify a bit in order for that to happpen. Ah, but for those of us who have had solid precip (again, in whatever the heck form it's been in) since 10 or 11, we've got a nice coating already. Understandably those that have stayed relatively "dry" would ...

Re: February Weather. Snow/Sleet/Ice/Winter Storm Warning
Just was emailing Ticka and thought of this...for those of you with icing (I guess most of us) go stand outside and listen to your trees. I'm surrounded by pine trees and they are really starting to creak. I've still got "something" falling from the sky but not sure how to categorize it. ...

Re: February Weather. Snow/Sleet/Ice/Winter Storm Warning
Not going to be easy in these cash-strapped times, but HGX needs a major push for forecast sounding equipment. They sure do. It is unbelievable to me that they don't do soundings here. EVERYTHING is beginning to glaze over in the Spring Branch area. Streets are even beginning to look glazed. Not li...

Re: February Weather. Snow/Sleet/Ice/Winter Storm Warning
Steady light freezing drizzle/flurries here at the house. Not enough to take pics of yet though. 29f now so the temp is dropping.

Re: February Weather. Snow/Sleet/Ice/Winter Storm Warning
Currently 30.4 with VERY VERY light intermittent flurries here at the house. As I told Jeff in my text I was reluctant to report it, but I confirmed the moisture on my windshield. If nothing else the lower levels are definitely starting to moisten. I still expect the snow, but maybe not as much as w...

Re: February Weather. Arctic Blast/Snow/Then More Arctic Co
26.8f here and steadily dropping. I am glad it is still windy because if it wasn't we would have almost perfect radiational cooling and who knows how cold it would get? Mid to upper teens even in my location will not be a surprise to me. Still trying to contain my "excitement" re Thurs. an...
