Lol. You should have heard the Lewisville, TX people after the sleet storm last weekend: WHY HASN’T MY NEIGHBORHOOD HAD THIS REMOVED BY NOW??!! Well, first this doesn’t happen in North TX all that often here and we literally don’t have any plows. And second it’s a sheet of sleet that is compacted too low for a plow even if there was one. lol.

Wow. This one had some of everything. I had fun living through it vicariously. I also learn a lot from the discussions. See you guys later!

While I don’t live in Rocky Mount (NC) anymore, I was there for some epic busts. What was the name of that thread that performed an “autopsy” on one of the more major ones? It listed all the ways that the models were wrong, and laid how we (people in the SE) should prepare to be perpetually disappointed.

Hello again from DFW! I hope everyone gets SMOKED!

One last post from DFW. Thought we were done here and yet, the best looking snow I have seen is falling now than from the whole event. We have had flurries off and on all day. Not sure how much if any of this makes it y’all’s way. i am glad most of you managed to dodge major freezing rain.

Yeah I wasn’t expecting this little bonus move.

Catching a few of what I guess are the lake effect flurries at the moment.

Sleeting hard again here.

Good early evening from DFW. We have had mostly sleet. Still maybe only an inch or but enough to not want to try going anywhere. NWS and the TX forum suggest heaviest is still yet to come. I hope you are all okay when it’s over. Check in again later.

Sleet is picking up over here in SW Lewisville.

One more quick statement and then I will just lurk again until something changes here, One of the guys I trust most on our sub forum is confident that the upper level temps are also dropping fast enough that there will actually be more snow than previously expected here. I hope it verifies and pushes east for you all.

Good morning again from DFW! Overnight not much has happened. There is little ice and a dusting of sleet. It’s 23* at the airport right now and the freezing rain/ice accrual concerns for here seem to be lessening. NWS is calling for sleet/snow mix to continue for at least another 24 hours. There are reports of heavy sleet in the area Hope you guys can dodge the ice. Stay safe everyone!

I am horrible at reading this stuff. So, I appreciate you guys with more experience. Are y’all thinking more sleet than ice around DFW?

Late PM Check in: WTF knows what’s gonna happen later but if NC matches DFW, you guys are gonna have at least 6 or 7 hours of COLD RAIN as an appetizer. Since I last reported the temp has only dropped about 4* to lower 40s now. I know the cold air is coming but what a dreary day so far. We’ll see what happens next. The more knowledge guys on our TX thread are struggling to figure this thing out.

Good morning from DFW. Since I lived in Rocky Mount NC up until 2017, I still enjoy keeping up with the SE forum. We are at the very beginnings of the event here just beside the airport. I work in Irving TX. Currently around 49 * and light to moderate rain. Temps aren't expected to be dropping here until early evening and overnight. That said, the guy I pay attention to most on the TX weather thread on the Central/Western sub forum thinks we are in for a significant amount of sleet in the area. I will post again when things get interesting here. I know there can be a correlation btw DFW and NC weather so it will be fun to see how that works.
