Srain Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 A lot of reports now coming in across the NWS San Angelo forecast area of freezing rain up to .25 inches accumulating on elevated surfaces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dljuly3 Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Moving between sleet and snow here in Norman, though mainly sleet. It is accumulating on everything, including the roads. Everything has a nice dusting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJ_Ken Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 We have mostly snow falling here on the north side of Oklahoma City right now. I haven't measured but I would estimate a half inch of accumulated snow and sleet, and it has accumulated on ALL surfaces. I have yet to venture beyond by driveway in the car, but all roads that I can see are snow/ice covered and VERY slick. I spent the first 47 years of my life (up until 6 months ago) in New Jersey so I know dangerous roads when I see 'em, and, right now, the roads around here are as icy as roads can get. Be careful out there, folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJ_Ken Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Almost as soon as I typed the post above, we went to all snow and it is coming down pretty hard right now.... definitely moderate and maybe bordering on heavy. Everything is rapidly turning white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1900hurricane Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Not sure of what to make of the large temperature difference between the 12Z NMM/ARW variants. The difference in impacts between these two would be enormous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brettjrob Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Almost entirely PL through the brunt of the event here, and now significant ZR mixing in (my windshield will be in need of its third scraping of the past few days). 12z OUN RAOB was never warmer than 0.5 C, and wet bulbs were well below freezing through the column. I've always said PL is our default winter precip, and this is just another example to tack on the long list. Some very impressive totals from SW OK, though, as they've been in a snow drought for quite a few years. Bullseye of 10-14" around Harmon/Greer Co. well exceeds most model QPF in that area; funny the NAM was correct in its QPF maximum (not necessarily location) early on, but backed off yesterday.

Ed Lizard Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 12Z models are discouraging for those hoping for a significant I-35 Winter event between AUS and the Red River. Looking more like a minor inconvenience than anything memorable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ouamber Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Waiting to see if this snow band is going to make it to the Tulsa area or be ate up by the dry and very cold air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aggiegeog Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Light rain with maybe some sleet mixed in here with a temp of 34. The current band is almost through though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJ_Ken Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 We had (what I assume was) a last gasp shower of sleet and freezing rain here in Oklahoma City as I was driving to work (at around 7:45 am). The roads were not bad (before, during or after the shower): Wet with the occasionally slick spot on a bridge or overpass. As long as one drove with a bit of common sense, it was fine... but apparently there are quite a few people in Central Oklahoma lacking in the common sense department because there were accidents everywhere I looked.

Srain Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Seeing some reports of light snow flurries in the Dallas/Ft Worth and the San Angelo areas this morning as the cold pocket associated with the upper low continues to advance towards Central Texas. The Austin area on down toward I-10 may see some snow flurries this morning through about 10:00 AM as well. There may be a brief window for a few stray snow flurries or sleet across portions of SE Texas as water vapor imagery does show some colder cloud tops advancing our way from the West. CLL did a special sounding this morning and comfirms a saturated column below freezing except at the surface. That upper low/trough should move across SE Texas during the day and finally end any chance of moisture and finally begin to clear out this cloudy/wet weather in time for Thanksgiving. An area wide freeze is possible except for those near the Coast early Thanksgiving morning and a warming trend begins to end the month of November.
