January Medium/Long Range: A snowy January ahead?
MountainGeek replied to mappy's topic in Mid Atlantic
@Jebman - I don't even know where to begin - you are in freaking Texas!!! We're not talking a dusting here, folks. Oh no. You are going to get a "parade of plumes", a "bomb cyclone Tex-Mex fiesta" dropping white gold on cacti and tumbleweeds like it's trying to rewrite the state's weather legacy. Houston? Gone. Galveston? Forget it. Buda? It’s a snow and ice-encrusted snowy winter wonderland now. Models were SCREAMING about this for days, but who believed it? It’s Texas! The land of brisket, 100-degree football games, and air conditioners melting asphalt. Yet here we are. You will be buried in widespread 2" and locally higher amounts!!! Texas meteorologists are blinking like deer in headlights. DFW will shut down based on cold air alone. San Antonio is desperately trying to learn what the heck a snowplow is. Cars will be sliding around like penguins on Crisco. And you know the media will be losing its mind. "Historic Winter Blast!" “Arctic Apocalypse!” Jim Cantore might as well camp out on the Alamo steps at this point. Stock up on popcorn and watch Texans attempt to drive in this mess. A shoutout to the heroes who’ve never seen snow but are still trying to shovel their driveways with BBQ spatulas. @Jebman - this is your time - your moment - you alone can TEACH THEM HOW TO SHOVEL!!!! This cold will be dug in like a tick on a hound dog. Congrats Texas -- you’re the new Alberta for a week!! -

Finished just under 6" - trees heavily loaded with the initial batch of wet snow and then topped with powder -- gorgeous out there. -

Should switch over for you soon -- are you at -500ft elevation inside the active volcano? -

This low level inversion is legit -- still hanging at 35/32 at 810ft, half a mile away 500' lower on the river is 32. On up the top ridge it's 38 at 1600ft. -
