  1. Even the linked model data shows very low initial dewpoints and evaporative cooling when precip starts
  2. Dr. Frank Field was an eye doctor, not a met doctor, but the Army did send him for a degree in met during WW2. I was in his backyard in Nassau Shores, mid 1970s, he had a pit bull which tried to copulate with my leg. Storm Field should still be alive...
  3. IIRC, my favorite storm of all time, 5 days no school, February 1978, was technically a Miller B, but, again, from memory, it was enhanced by mid level energy that pushed an Arctic front through NYC area as the coastal was developing off the Carolinas. I moved from Massapequa 2 years later. Now big storms are nostalgia.
  4. Moved Massapequa, NY 11758 to Dallas just after the Blizzard of 1978. Dallas at least gets a dusting almost every Winter, Houston, last snow was a dusting in 2017. One thing, one doesn't know what a real severe thunderstorm is living on Long Island.
  5. I am now bracketed between snow reports at DWH and IAH, but all I can feel is sleet, not even 'slow raindrops' which might be a not quite completely melted snowflake clumps.
  6. Can't tell in the streetlights if there is any snow, but I can hear and feel on my car roof some sleet, maybe 10 miles SE DWH and 5 miles West of IAH. At 30.00001N, 29.9999N is a 15 second walk from my front door.
  7. Rare post, but Thanksgiving 1993 Dallas, Leon Lett fumble game in Dallas, that looked like snow on TV but was 90% sleet, and a lot of thunder and lightning. Wrong forum, but sleet can be fun, especially thunder sleet.
  8. Rare poster, not popular, I am at work but you can check model initialization now at balloon sounding sites or how they have performed in near term of SPC mesoanalysis page (based off a model, but I assume reasonably accurate). Are 12Z NAMs well initialized? How are they at 3 hours? Check models at this point before hugging. Players all on the field.
