OT: But did you all see the Winter Storm Warnings all the way from the very southern tip of Texas - litterally brownsville texas extending almost the entire gulf coast to new orleans then winter weather advisories into the panhandle of florida. What a CRAZY winter. Brownsville Texas! I think their criteria is for 1 flake of snow in the air laugh.gif

they're calling for up to half an inch of ice + down there...yikes. Right on the Mexico border lol

Locked dendrite structures FTW.

I just cannot belies schools haven't been called off yet!

Roads slick but not too bad here.

As far as the weekend goes split moisture pattern on most models, fast mover and a changeover to white. Probably will see model gymnastics as nam is developing the low under the western shield others split the difference

I have never seen Brownsville TX under a Winter Storm Warning. That is incredible. Anyone know what the criteria for a Winter Storm warning is down there? And with regards to this weekends storm, I am hoping to squeeze another 6" out anything extra would be gravy.

Here is the language of the warning

http://forecast.weat...r+Storm+Warning

A WINTER STORM WARNING IS ISSUED WHEN DANGEROUS WINTER WEATHER IS

IMMINENT. SNOW ACCUMULATIONS OF AT LEAST ONE INCH ON ROADS OR

WALKWAYS...AT LEAST ONE HALF INCH OF SLEET ACCUMULATION...OR ICE

ACCRETION OF ONE EIGHTH INCH OR MORE ON EXPOSED SURFACES.

HAZARDOUS DRIVING CONDITIONS WILL RESULT. PERSONS WITH TRAVEL

PLANS IN THE WARNING AREA ARE STRONGLY ENCOURAGED TO POSTPONE

THEM UNTIL CONDITIONS IMPROVE.

I've got friends in the Army..air defense type stuff stationed in El Paso. Got an email from them early am about the temperature being near 0. Just checked...sure enough 1.9 degrees! YIKES is that cold for the Mexican border. On the flip side if the Rio Grande freezes it'll be an easier commute for many.

NAM advertising the split shield...one s/w complex comes up off the Carolinas well in advance. That should drive the surface low.
