January: Calmer Pattern To End The Month
Just dropped from 40 to 33 in the last hour. Hoping we get something out of this. My 4 1/2 year is home from school (all cancelled) and is so excited. I know we won't get snow but he was thrilled with the half inch icicles so.. Maybe something down here?
A friend who is on the Beltway at Sheldon said ice is on the bridges there. Also, said it was snowing.
Will the NWS upgrade the advisory to a warning?

Looking like Lake Charles area could be in for some snow fun this afternoon.
Just went outside. Moderate sleet falling and ice forming on metal surfaces here at 59 and west loop.

We've also hit 90 in February before (1986), but I fear we won't see 90F this February...ticka1 wrote:tireman the good news is still yet to come!! february!!tireman4 wrote:Be patient. Be patient.

I'm getting what appears to be thin stripes of snow grains in kingwood
Not much here in LaPorte but I don't think the precip has gotten here yet. Is it moving south? My thermometer shows 32 now so I guess I'll wait and see what we get 
Apparantly all the windows in our parking lot are iced over, but looking out of my window here at work, the rain/ice/sleet, whatever, is so fine I can't even see it. If I look at a radar, it's showing that it should be fairly heavy.....weird.

Couple of flakes mixing-in with the sleet here. Literally a couple - I saw two.
Visibility dropping looking off toward the north toward uptown park. Definitely coming down hard.

Thank you for saying this! Last night I was looking for real info and all I saw were a bunch of folks squabbling over the precip type. It was fairly clear that it would be frozen and dangerous, so what's the difference? As far as this being a bust, I seem to remember that from the very beginning, you all were saying it would be a middle of the day event instead of an overnight/early morning one. So it seems we are right on track in that case! Keep up the good work, we appreciate what you do.

Getting snow flakes mixed in with sleet in kingwood as well
Anyone know if the temps in downtown Houston are going to get below freezing? I was just outside and it has been raining for a good bit now and the roads are very wet and I am very worried about ice down here. They are service streets so I didnt know if they are going to get iced or not...
