I'm in Montgomery County. Last night Armageddon was in the forecast. Today, well I could sneeze and create a bigger problem. .

12z Euro shows a little bit of everything. With sleet accumulations of up to 1+ inches along and north of the 59 corridor. Snowfall accumulations of 2-5 inches along and north of the 59 corridor, and up to.25-.75 of an inch of freezing rain accumulation mainly along and south of 59 to the coast.

Reminds me of the time I was accidentally pulling-up the forecast for Indian Rocks Beach and saw rain while we were in the middle of a drought. I then re-arranged my bookmarks. :)

I do not want an ice storm anyway, but some snow would have been nice. We will literally just have to wait and nowcast, folks, then be prepared for the usual disappointment.
We're going to be below freezing from Sunday afternoon to Wednesday late morning. Damn sure hope we don't see a lot of ice.

Good... cools the column more and gives us a better chance at snow.

I’ve heard good things, may consider for my next one. I have an Acurite-Pro and it does a decent job except it cycles through the batteries - I think the solar panels are toast.

Mine seems to be spot-on with temps. I have a couple of calibrated mercury thermometers that I compare it against. The only issue, really, is getting accurate wind measurements. Even if I placed an anemometer on the roof I have solid trees all around me. And sometimes I have to double-check the rain totals too...

I still can’t believe that accident in Fort Worth. I can’t imagine being trapped in the middle of that.
I’ve had mine 2 years and love it

The snow part of that would be fantastic.
