There's a ground stoppage at DFW until 6:30am.

78 MPH Wind Gust at DAL...

74 MPH gust reported at DFW...

The last few days took a massive bite out of the monthly departure for DFW, as February will only end up -1.2*F below average. As far as winter on the whole (Dec - Feb), it ends up with an average temp of 48.6*F (+0.3*F above average). Snowfall-wise, the season (Dec - Feb) ended up being above average with a total of 2.6", all of which fell with the Winter Storm on 1/9 (and was partially sleet contaminated).

^^^Bring it!!!

For the first time since 2/8, DFW exceeded 80*F with an official high of 81*F toxay.

Per Delta, it ended up being 19 inured people in total (out of 80 passengers and 4 crew members), and they've all been released from the hospital as of this morning.

Can y'all please take this shit back? Thanks!

Media is now reporting 18 injured people.

Media reports are a Delta flight that departed MSP ended up being flipped upside down while landing at YYZ (one of the wings are also missing). Early speculation is that it was weather-related between high winds and snowy/icy runways, but it just happened within the hour and will be investigated. Fortunately, there have been no deaths, but 8 people have been confirmed as injured...

It is wild that parts of KY/TN coukd go from seeing 8-12" of rain to over a half foot of snow (which is msjor for that region) within a span of 72 hours...

I'm going to play a bit of interference here and just point out in all fairness, this subforum did see plenty of "good busts" during the unusually snowy & active 2005 - 2015 period (although granted, not everyone got a "Big Dog"). Based on past history, these strings good vs. not-so good winters happen in waves and y'all just so happen to be in a wave of not-so-good winters that will eventually pass.

4.6" was the final 36-hour total at DTW.

36-hour storm total at DTW was 3.4" as of 7am. Probably not final though.

Although both this and the last storm fell short (in some cases well short) of expectations overall, I'm sure the snowcover fans are happy. Congrats again to them!

DTX has formally dropped the Warning. Now only calling for an additional 2-4" (on top of whatever fell with the WAA snow yesterday).

Yes, please! Because the upcoming forecast this week is not it!

DTX and IWX both disagree with the bolded per their AFDs, respectfully. Disruption of moisture transport is not be the *ONLY* reason, but it has ended up being *A* reason, unfortunately. The 500mb configuration was never all that favorable for a big dog despite the model runs the day before yesterday, but in the absence of the Tennessee Valley convection, a narrow but quick hitting band of heavy snow would have had a much easier time developing further NW given the instability & forcing that's in place (which is looking increasingly less likely to happen by the hour).
