MontgomeryCoWx - we will miss you bro!! Seriously! I know you will enjoy the coldness and congratulations on making dreams come true! Please do check-in like our friend SRain.

Will send you a PM 🦆😀

Sent you one back, and I’ll still be around. Like I said in my PM, we will be in Texas during the school year until 2030. Summers WILL NOT be here :)
Say hey to the Duttons for us.

Sambucol it is 10-12 days out so impossible to say right now, but this upcoming pattern screams wintry mischief somewhere in the state, definitely cannot rule out some of that coming into SE Texas, but confidence is pretty low with that right now

Haha, we will be in Gallatin county too. The Gallatin Gateway is so awesome. Light Snowy drives are amazing there.

Something I need to note here for the youngsters who just discovered their weather fanaticism….

Before the last decade, SETX may get a couple to few winter weather events a decade (meaning precip). This past decade has been highly unusual in terms of the frequency of events, even if light.

I’m probably going to miss some years but I know 2011, 2013 (several), 2014 (multiple), 2017, 2018, 2021 (two) had events and I think that has spoiled some youngsters. Yes, I know I’m 40 and not that old, but I’ve followed weather since the late 80s and used to invite East Texas Weather personalities to my classes for class presentations and projects. The 90s and 2000s were not like the last decade.

Thankful we have fun weather to talk about this time of year. I know I’m not active outside of Winter unless a Hurricane or major severe outbreak is coming, but that doesn’t mean I don’t read.

Thank you for all the contributions!

On a side note, my favorite experience in a storm minus 1989 in Longview was walking like a giraffe from Northgate to our place 3 miles away during the CS ice storm in February of 2003.

We went to Northgate with a WWA issued but I didn’t think temps would get much below 30. When we walked out at 2 am it was 27 and moderate freezing rain and sleet had hammered CS.

I didn’t think we were going to make it. I had so many bruises and bumps from falling HARD going down hills.

I still laugh about it but I wasn’t about to get behind the wheel after drinking, much less on ice. The Carpool group taxi. Run by students had shut down that night.

I think next week we should have a somewhat better idea on the forecasts.

Agreed, I’ve told our O&G customers to wait until Wednesday.

So many trying to deploy fleets around the New Year.

Thank you for the response! Snow here would be fantastic, but my concern is how low will the temps, and how long could we possibly be below freezing. Just trying to figure out went to start preparing the house.
