But if discretion is the better part of valor, well, I understand.
You are 100% correct- "Only AccuWx subscribers can see AccuWx graphics" It states such on the site. In fact one cannot even quote anything from Joe Bastardi's column. It has to be done in paraphrase form.
Who knew we'd see something like this for the second time this winter season? This is easily the best winter of my life living in the Houston area. I don't know how we'll ever beat 09-10.
will b razoria county be included in this some time later on? r they just waiting for more info or is it pretty dead for us?
Only a trace of snowfall is expected that far south, so a winter weather advisory is not needed. However, you are still going to see some snow!

Significant accumulations of snow expected on Tuesday/Tuesday night over the area.
Winter Storm Warning issued for Tuesday: Brazos, Burleson, Madison, Houston, Trinity, Polk, San Jacinto, Grimes, Montgomery, Walker
Winter Weather Advisory issued from 200pm Tuesday to 600am Wednesday: Harris, Austin, Colorado, Fort Bend, Liberty, Waller, Wharton
Discussion:
Overall consensus today has been to push the snowfall and accumulations southward which now brings Harris County more under the threat for accumulations. Models are still hammering away at some fairly hefty banding features over the northern ½ to 1/3 of the area and feel some surprisingly high totals may be had in the area bounded by College Station to Livingston. Will likely also see snow all the way to the coast mixed with the rain Tuesday night.
Will start to see accumulations by mid morning Tuesday up north and then spread southward during the day on Tuesday. Will see rain start to mix and change to snow from NW to SE during the afternoon on Tuesday with many areas having all snow by Tuesday evening. Ground temperatures are warm and some of the snow will melt on impact. Heavy snow bands will help mitigate the warm ground allowing for quick accumulations over our northern counties. Additionally, as surface temperatures fall toward and to freezing Tuesday evening greater accumulation and formation of glazing of area bridges/overpasses appears likely. Would like to see lower dewpoints for IAH on Tuesday to support accumulations, but it looks close enough especially if moderate/heavy snow falls for some quick accumulation even with surface temperatures above freezing…similar to Dec 4, 2009.
Accumulations:
College Station to Livingston northward:
Accumulations of 2-4” with higher amounts (6+” possible).
Columbus to The Woodlands to Humble northward:
Accumulations of 1-3” with isolated amounts to up 4 inches
Katy to downtown Houston to Liberty northward:
Accumulations of .5-1”
Sugar Land to Pearland to High Island northward:
A dusting to ½ inch of accumulation.
South and West of Sugar Land to High Island:
Snow will mix with the rain, but no accumulation is expected

THE GFS SUGGESTS THAT THE SNOW MAY REACH ALL THE WAY TO THE COAST.AT PRESENT...BELIEVE THAT THE SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL AMOUNTS WILL BE
LIMITED TO THE PINEY HILLS OF CENTRAL LOUISIANA AND THE LAKES REGION
OF SOUTHEAST TEXAS.
HOWEVER...REMAIN UNCERTAIN ABOUT THE SNOW AMOUNTS ALONG AND SOUTH OF
THE I-10 CORRIDOR...ESPECIALLY BETWEEN BEAUMONT AND LAKE CHARLES.
