  1. The Charlotte area really needs a radar or radars. Folks have been looking into it for a long time, but it just hasn't happened. Durant, OK just announced they were getting a C band in the last few weeks, and the SE Texas gap is at least partially mitigated by TAMU's mostly operational S band (though not sure about its QPE performance) and the NBC affiliate in Dallas has a pretty nice S band located to the SE of the metroplex that can do some gap filling out there. Far SE Oklahoma coverage is still pretty terrible and an extra dangerous spot for a tornado.
  2. Killington sent out an email a little while ago reporting 11" in the last 24 hours... I don't know whether to raise an eyebrow or grab the skis and head north
  3. I found it to be just about perfect today for spring cleanup weather with a late afternoon ski. No need to be sweating hauling brush, raking, etc. We've got plenty of time for warmth and dews.
  4. Last call at the Beast. Always bittersweet
  5. Not that it's unusual but even a couple days ago I noticed that Dallas proper was definitely coming to life whereas Ft Worth and Denton were still well behind. Spring seemed a bit late out there.
  6. Seems like they have some GR2A files that can be downloaded https://wdi.geos.tamu.edu/data/ADRAD/GR2A/TAMU/
  7. TAMU has a radar that the weather service has access to. I am pretty sure it's operational today. Not sure if the data is public.
  8. Durant OK is getting a C band (I think) which should have pretty good range. This will help on both sides of the Red River. But could use a few more... I'd like another X band in Rockwall county personally.
  9. definitely a little velocity signature running 67 toward Midlothian. That stretch of 67 from Venus ENE is the single most active place for these spinups that I've seen in my 10 years running this network in the metroplex. With the east shores of Eagle Mt lake a close second.
  10. I'm in Grapevine right on the west side of the airport. SIrens were going off and was cool but not totally intense compared to some other areas today.
  11. Sirens were going off... was cool, but nothing we don't see in Belchertown on the reg
  12. West of DFW disagrees. Bad damage today. I'm in Grapevine, TX dead center of a tornado warning, but looks meh at present. Hopefully I'm not jinxing myself.
  13. edit--- seems to be cycling a bit... couplet loosened after posting but restrengthening
  14. In Eastern MA the hail storm was 2/25/16 Ironically, one year later, 2/25/17 was the tornado through Conway
  15. BDR too. I'm not sure if that should be surprising or not.
  16. Some places in SNE average more in March than in Dec, and it's at least close in most places.
  17. Last year even. 8.5" here on April 16th after zippo in March. Don't recall how areas further east did. Bigger than any event we had this year LOL
