Certainly more than expected over here.  Streets covered, puppies happy. 

A few flurries and mix trickling down in south Lewisville area.  

Boo.  We don't want to be on the NW side of this graph that vwgrrc has posted.   No Bueno.  

Dry slot is holding here at my house.  Nothing hitting the ground.  I am about where Coppell, Flower Mound, and Lewisville city limits touch together.  Just west of 35.   

Usually during winter weather I enjoy the snow and even the sleet. Today I am hoping to get dry slotted in my little corner of DFW. 

Well as of 8:04 am we have power so..........

Well, a literal cold slap in the face of 10 mins of power at approximately 4 am.  That makes 10 mins of power for the last 36 hours
 

I believe that here in Lewisville the “rolling blackouts”  that were supposed to share the burden became “we don’t trust the grid so those of you don’t have power, won’t have power”.  
 

Fun times. 

I am over 24 hrs now without power. It’s a bit chilly in the house. 

Of course the nastiest days of the year are when I realize that my room humidifier in my guitar room needs a new filter.  It wasn’t bad out there on the roads yet when I made the careful trip to Lowes but, it looks like it will be soon.   

It’s the DFW snow hole opening up.

Take my pipes......please!!

I moved here (Lewisville TX) from Eastern NC and this is my fourth winter here.  I brought the snow hole with me.  LOL

Oh, and we had Tornado warnings last night too.  

LOL.  Just stopping by to say  hello and that I am watching a little snow shower here 15 miles north of downtown Dallas this morning.   Hope you guys get some snow soon.

I meant it's just possible he is already here.

I guess I was confused by you quoting my post.  Not the last time I’ll be confused either.

Ya never know......

Lol.  My first name is Greg though.   Closest to a weatherman I ever be is that Phillip Williams (worked at a Greenville, NC tv station) grew up across the street from me in Rocky Mount, NC.  

Just dropping by to say North Central TX weather is boring.   Miss hanging out with you guys.  Hope everyone in Dorian’s path will be safe.   In the meantime,  here’s my exciting 10 day.   

I miss you guys and all of the weather talk.   Tracking with anticipation was the fun of it regardless of how much snow I ever actually got.  Now living in DFW and the Central/Western states forum being my home base, there isn’t much to do.  Don’t think anyone has posted in the TX thread since Thursday.

Is that a second wave over Fort Worth, Texas? That’s what I was thinking. I might be wrong though. 

I live in Lewisville TX now which is 20 mins North from downtown Dallas and it raining steadily here.  

While I live in TX north of Dallas now, I was in Rocky Mount, NC area for Floyd and Goldsboro for Fran.  They were bad.   Also, it doesn’t take a huuricane force winds to mess you up either.  In Rocky Mount, we got 60ish winds from Irene but they were sustained for something like 9 straight hours.   My neighborhood looked like a war zone.    Just a couple of years ago Matthew flooded Rocky Mount the same way Floyd did.  Floyd was suppposed to have been a 500 year flood.    

You guys be safe!!

Menawhile, half way across the country where I live now in Lewisville, I got screwed by the second SOUTHEAST trend in a row.  Houston, Austin, etc. got snow out of this system and we got cold air in the Dallas area.  

Very light flurries in Lewisville/Flower Mound. 

One of my friends is working just North of Tulsa, OK this morning and sent me this picture.   I am not as familiar with how systems move in this part of the country.  Is some of what we may see here in N Texas later today?

I hate living in Florida, at least when it comes to weather.  It kills this hobby for me, but then it is good for my sanity.  No more getting pissed off about storm threats busting since there are no threats in the first place...

I have discovered the same since moving to North Dallas (Lewisville).  There is one thread in the Western subforum that covers TX, NM, and LA.  We talk about it being hot and dry or cold and dry.  

Being new to the area, I am not sure what I need to look for in the models as far as the weather patterns here.  I know that back East in NC we would want see low pressure exit TX into the gulf and then shift north east as it crossed Florida.  Our best snows in my part of the state came from that set up.
