I guess the moisture building up where we need it is keeping me around that and the fact that our mets (Jeff Wxman recently) still thinking this is going to happen

Seems to me that might cut down on some of the confusion. Just an observation.

They usually have the big Gold label that says ProMet.
And although I agree with a lot of what you're saying, you don't necessarily have to have a degree in meteorology to see a dark cloud moving towards you and know rain will soon come.
Some of these so-called amateurs have an abundance of weather experience. Don't believe srain has a degree in meteorology, yet I value his experience and wisdom in reading weather maps/patterns, plus finding the finer anomalies which could influence our weather.

I do believe people need to relax a little, especially when dealing with these Professional Meteorologist.
Meteorology isn't an exact science, and I don't see the day coming soon when weather can be predicted with 100% certainty.

Back to the topic of this thread;
My amateur observations finds the moisture increasing to our southwest/west.
This event hasn't even begun, and seriously I don't need to see 3-4" to be satisfied. Lived here since 72 and I get excited when I see one snowflake fall from the sky.
Yes I agree about not having to have a degree to add insight as well as Steve does, Weather is an art like someone said here once
I am really sorry. I hope I didn't offend anyone. That wasn't my intention. It's just that I read everything everyone posts and believe it all and then get confused. I am an oddity, I suppose. I appreciate the time you all put in to making this board as wonderful as it is and answering all the questions that you do.

Just looked on our back porch in our part of Pearland. I can confirm very small flurries in the air.

oh no, I agree, it is hard to distinguish between a knowledgeable weathered veteran (no pun intended :P) and the people like me who try to take a crack at it and have no idea what I'm talking about :lol:

When it snows, on Doppler radar, it shows it as light to moderate rain. 0.01 inch of rain is 1 inch of snow.

West Oaks Village, behind the Dad's Club. It's very, very lite. Looks like crystalized dust. Perhaps I live close to a meth lab? :lol:

stupid question I think, that was the problem earlier skys to high and it would evaporate before hitting the ground, I think this is good but this is the case right??

Definitely seeing flurries now in Pearland. Flakes were about double the size they were. I can confirm that I do NOT live next to a meth lab. :lol:

BTW Sorry for spamming the forum (I know Andrew wouldn't like this :P) but I refreshed the vapor radar and it looks like the dry air is breaking up even more
