What beautiful weather! It’s always nice when you pick up relatives at the airport and they go on and on about how gorgeous it is outside. Went cruisin’ with the windows down and moonroof open. Merry Christmas everyone!!

I remember the 2004 event very well! I was outside sitting on our front porch when the first flakes started to fly. Will go down as something I’ll never forget! Especially for my region in Wharton County. We got dumped on! One of the best days of my life, for sure!

The GFS has been hinting for the last 3 runs or so of a motherload of cold coming down around January 11th. The 12Z run indicates it as well. That's fairly consistent, especially for that far out. Anyone else notice this?

Yes and the warm biased Euro has also been turning colder towards the end of its run.

Again, follow the Pacific trends and you’ll follow our source (or lack of) of cold. I’m standing by my original prediction of a solid blast of cold air materializing the end of the first week of the year.

The meteorological winter is Dec-Jan-Feb. We are almost 1/3 of the way through it. The annual minimums for IAH bottom out from January 3rd - January 24th (mean is 43F - 63F).

We will begin those lowest averages in a week from now. Average temps begin to warm again on January 25th.

I’m aware and your post doesn’t address my sentiments. I’m addition, our most active winter weather timeframe (actual events) is from late January through the 3rd week of February.

I’ve lived here over 30 years and all 3 accumulating snow events for me happened in December. I’ve had zero luck those other months.

We are talking winter weather, not just snow. I had accumulating snow 2 Januarys ago. Can’t remember if it was 2013-2014 or the following winter but we had something like 7 events that Winter... mixed bag of stuff, but still.

You live in a bad area for snow, period. I’d bet my chances are a lot higher (albeit not great).
