  1. It's going to be a New Years to remember if the 12z GEM is right. Severe weather outbreak in MO/OK and Blizzard in MN/WI.
  2. Dallas might actually see a 60*F average departure for December, which has never happened. Same goes for an average high above 70*F and a double digit departure. It's already 5*F above the previous record warmest.
  3. Last I saw him (it had be nearly 10 years ago), I think he moved out to Los Angeles to take up modeling.
  4. Crazy to think that DFW is looking at both an historially warm December and a historically warm February in the same year. Got both winter extreme covered, haha!
  5. With how wild this year has been weather-wise (especially in the center of the country), I wouldn't rule out anything, lol...
  6. All that's needed is one big dog to take the right (or, depending on your location, wrong) track. Unlikely, sure. But not impossible.
  7. 12/19 did break the 50*F+ highs streak though, with only a high of 48*F.
  8. FWIW, the warmest December on record was back in 1933 (dust bowl era) with an average temp of 54*F.After yesterday (and the day before, which both had below normal daily averages), DFW's average temperature sits at 59.8*F.On top of that, DFW has ever recorded a December with average highs above 65*F, and right now it sits at 71*F.This isn't just a torch, it's an inferno.
  9. Austin is real good if you're into outdoors stuff. It's pretty expensive there compared to other big Texas cities though. I have family in Houston and San Antonio (some of them also moved from Michigan) They're all doing well. And that's the thing. No matter what type of person you are, what your convictions are and what your ambitions are, there's a place somewhere in the state for anyone to fit in and do well.
  10. I work remotely now, so I felt Texas was the best place to move to at this point in my life. No income tax and the warm falls / springs are definite pluses, as well as the weather being much Sunnier. It also has that same vibe California had 30-50 years ago with everyone tripping over themselves to come here, everything feeling new and the plethora of job opportunities. EDIT: The higher risk of severe t'storms to track is nice too, although this last season locally was quite underwhelmingly.
  11. Heeeyyy Stevo6899! I do enjoy lurking & reading your posts to get your observations, as a former fellow east sider. Not much has changed either it seems...
  12. There's a chance DFW could go the entire month of December without a sub-50*F high, which would really be crazy (not sure that's ever happened before). Sunday, with a current forecast high in the upper 40s, might be our best shot. In fact, our "coldest" high to-date has only been 59*F.
  13. The reports are well over 500 now. Crazy! This Fall / early Winter more than made up for the extremely slow start to the severe weather season in the Spring / early Summer
  14. I'd be surprised if there was another December on record with 2 back-to-back historic severe weather outbreaks.
  15. Parts of MN upgraded to a Winter Storm Warning with tonight's system.
  16. I guess we all have that one thing we're really passionate about...
  17. If there's any solace, it seems the line did break up just enough and just in time to spare both KC and Des Moines from the intense conditions.
  18. That certainly makes for a good conspiracy theory...
  19. That's a nasty-looking bow echo passing NW of Des Moines.
