This is a good song by ELO about It's Over lol:

Hey @MillvilleWx you are in my state, Could you explain to me in meteorological jargon, what exactly happened two nights ago in south central TX that caused us to get so much training of heavy rain that we ended up with FOUR INCHES of the wet stuff in Buda?

Done. Catastorphe teh yourslef TRGAS (The Royal GFS Allows Snow) stormtracker just coined it Aleet (how could I ever forget that one?!) anyone care to add others we've coined in here over the years?

This sub is gonna get a big snowstorm. Keep right on checkin out those models.

Fixed. I believe you guys will get one, too before this winter is done. I want the Mid Atlantic to go all 'New Englander' with snow! We need to get stormtracker and mappy and Bob Chill and many others to get annihilated by heavy snow in their backyards for a change!

Now THAT, is what I call real snow, mbusada! Keep 'em comin! Hey SNE! Learn somethings about what real snow is! That means YOU, @weathafella! And @Ginx Snewx!

That arctic front means bisnass! We got 4 inches rain last night then it got colder, we got ZR then sleet. Its been a cold as fook down here, 17 now. Thats COLD for us!

For us in Hays County well south of the metroplex, what saved us from a potentially destructive ice storm was the changeover from light to moderate freezing rain, to sleet about 520am. Looks like we still got about three sixteenths of an inch of ice accretion down here, then some sleet. We got a boatload of heavy rain before that, about three and a half to perhaps four inches of rain. Buda is wayyyyy ahead so far this new year in the rain department, with about seven and a half inches of rain since Jan 1.

Its is now 31 degrees in Buda, TX, with freezing rain and sleet pellets. Its a frackin' MESS outside right now - and I damn near fell right on my damn @ss as I tried to get a precipitation reading! It's COLD out there too, winds are north at 23mph with frigid gusts to 36! This makes it feel like 8 above zero at times! Icicles are everywhere and the deck is a world-class skating rink! I think we should hold the ice skating portion of the 2022 Winter Olympics here! They DO start today, by the way! The ZR/IP mix will continue for hours into the new day as the temperatures continue to fall all day long!

Steady light to moderate FREEZING rain continues here at 410am CST. The entire north side of the house is a sheet of ice! 32 degrees. North winds gusting to 36 mph. It feels like 13 out. Glad I still have my ice skates, might have to strap em on later lol. This could be bad, especially for this region.

Steady light to moderate FREEZING rain now, 32 degrees. North side of the house is plastered with ice.

I am in Buda, TX about 36 degrees no ice but a lot of rain has fallen and is still falling here. We were originally supposed to get one half to three quarters of an inch of rain with this event but it has been pouring on and off for hours throughout Wednesday evening on into early Thursday morning. I have measured at least three inches of rain since about 1pm Wednesday. It may be closer to four inches by now. Still pouring. Observing thunder and lightning as well.

I hope you all get snowed in so deep this season! First you have to get the rain out of the way, then you get the slider that does go up the coast and that annihilates the sub with ridiculous amounts of wind driven snow!!

Yeah many of us down in the Lone Star State DO NOT WANT that again. It was BRUTAL!

Dale City has had 4.5 inches of rain so far this new year. Buda TX just passed you guys in total rain this year, we are now at 5.75. We got 3 inches 2 days ago and are now being drowned by an Arctic front, have had 2.25 inches just today and there's a LOT more where that came from! Vast pools of water are everywhere! I drenched my new shoes just tryin to get to the damn car! We are getting an early start to rain totals down here! Usually winters are dry here. We're getting some thunder and lightning too. Wow February is acting like mid May in terms of rain lol.

I still want you all over there to get 'New Englanded' by an 18 to 24 inch snow!

I am under a Winter Storm Warning for a Stupid Ice Threat, too. Tons of rain and arctic winds, changing to ZR and IP later tonight.

I was only 2 years old in 1966. I was probably living with my mom up in Palatine Illinois! Now THAT's a Snow Town!

This topic needs some new juju. Get whomever brings good luck with snow, to start a new February medium long range topic stat.

You should move to western Maryland, Garrett County is best, for more snow! That place is the Jay Peak VT of the Mid Atlantic! You'd get buried ALIVE in snow every winter!

This is unbelievable. Very late Wed night into Thursday, a very strong Arctic front may cause the rain to mix with frzra and sleet then change to sleet and possibly bring up to half an inch of sleet/frzra right into my backyard. Its going to be VERY cold by our standards, highs in the upper 20s with north winds gusting to 40 mph and lows well down into the teens, in a place where 61 is the normal high and 43 is the normal low. If we get half an inch of sleet, I will be at 70 percent of normal climo for freezing precip in one winter season. My poor plants are dying. I was trying so hard to cover them. This next front will dash my hopes after weeks of trying to fight it. I loved the tomato plant, the chocolate mint and spearmint herbs so much! I tried so hard to save them from the cold fronts! Pipes will freeze, I'll have NO water at all, and revolving blackouts will chill the house and enforce the freezing pipes. This place just isnt optimized for Siberian fronts. I'll be forced to drink creek water like a horse! Larry Cosgrove wrote up a good description of what happened on "Frozentine Day" 2021 lol. I am not sure I want THAT again! You have the slow ejection of a large disturbance west of Baja California, possibly in two pieces, and the digging of a 500MB trough associated with a vortex with a core of Siberian air. If this sounds vaguely familiar, it is because there is some resemblance to the mid-February debacle of 2021, where a bitter cold regime streaked rapidly southward into Texas, concurrent with a phasing of the Arctic, polar, and subtropical jet streams into a very cold, full-latitude 500MB trough that reached Mexico and the adjacent Gulf, and dumped unheard of amounts of ice and snow on the Lone Star State and the Mid-South.

Stock up. This is it.

Even my back yard in Buda TX may pick up 1-2 inches lol. Thats about 270 percent of normal climo!

That's not greek. Thats easy, Aesop fables level stuff.
