David Reimer Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 It's been 65+ for two weeks here in Dallas now with ground temperatures on the mesonet in Southern Oklahoma at 58F+. We're not getting any snow storms IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're not getting any snow storms IMO There were wet flakes as far South as Waco one Easter weekend in the last five years or so, IIRC. Unlikely, but not impossible.

turtlehurricane Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 The 84-192 hour DGEX snowfall forecast? That's more unholy than Vegas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Lizard Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 It can obviously snow, but snow accumulations are out of the question IMO Outside the high elevations like the Panhandle, I can't think of it ever happening, but I could imagine heavy enough snow at night sticking to grassy/elevated. Reading AFDs in the Northeast, even there daytime snow accumulations are apparently quite unlikely. I don't know Panhandle snow climatology. Just a guess Dalhart or Vega has seen an inch or two some decade in April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brettjrob Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 I don't know Panhandle snow climatology. Just a guess Dalhart or Vega has seen an inch or two some decade in April. I'd be surprised if they haven't seen significantly more than that in April. Pretty sure I've heard of AMA receiving measurable snow in early May at one point. Elevation often trumps latitude in late-season winter storms. In fact, a few years ago, I remember the Big Country (including Abilene) being under WSW's for significant accumulations in April. Bottom line: I don't think the GFS map posted above is completely inconsistent with climo. I doubt it will happen, but that's more because of the persistent drought than anything else.

Oh yes it can happen, CoD chase trips have had snow around AMA in late april/early may before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boy I'd be pissed if I went on a tornado chase trip to Texas and it snowed, that would be one hell of a buzzkill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
