January 5, 20232 yr Nice night for the fire pit but getting cold. Heading inside. Looks like rain Saturday. Edited January 5, 20232 yr by YGIFS
January 15, 20232 yr So parts of California have already gotten over 400 inches of snow. And the weather pattern doesn’t seem ready to stop.
January 15, 20232 yr Will it be cold again in Central Texas this winter or is it 60s-70s-80s for the rest of Jan and Feb?

January 15, 20232 yr Author Will it be cold again in Central Texas this winter or is it 60s-70s-80s for the rest of Jan and Feb?Some models are seeing a pattern shift after the 20th, but nothing crazy or out of the norm.

Next cold front brings some rains Wednesday. 1/19-30 shaping up for a bunch of cloudy days of high's in the low 60's, lows in the low 40's. So, typical dreary January.

January 20, 20232 yr Gonna be pretty dreary the next ~40 hours, but Sunday should be glorious. Little chilly in the morning, but warming to the mid-60's after lunch. Get ya butts outside!
January 20, 20232 yr Looks like serious rain in Austin on Tuesday. I hope it pans out. I know it's winter, but all the flora looks extra sad right now. And i had to explain to yet another neighbor kid what happened to their cat. Raccoons and coyotes get thirsty. And blood carries more water than an exterior faucet drip.

January 20, 20232 yr With wastewater averaging and high utility costs right now, we're really not that far away from it being cheaper to feed plants Gatorade versus water. I remember being one of like 9 people that saw "Idiocracy" in the theater and thinking it was too hyperbolic even for Mike Judge. In hindsight, he wasn't even close to accurate on how dumb we'd get this fast.

January 24, 20232 yr Bout half an inch on the ground in Amarillo. 3-5” expected. We need every bit of moisture we can get. It’s 28 degrees, so not real nasty out. Tonight will probably have pretty slick roads out there.

January 24, 20232 yr Cross posted from the rain thread, but we got awakened by a damn hail storm at 4:00. Crazy shit.

I thought it was the giant raccoon sized possum that runs through our neighborhood running across my roof. Went to look out back and nickel to quarter sized hail is pounding the patio non-stop for 10 minutes before the rain even started
January 24, 20232 yr This was yesterday morning, just getting around to posting. How can they be this wrong about low temp forecast? And also, crazy how much colder it gets at my house than even a couple miles away. Shitty pic, but 23 degrees at my house
January 25, 20232 yr But that wasn’t supposed to be the takeaway! On the app, it was 13 degrees below the projected low, and 22 below the projection at my house

And also, crazy how much colder it gets at my house than even a couple miles away. Shitty pic, but 23 degrees at my house They weren't. Those forecasts are for a large area, and must be averaged. If I had to guess, you are in a lower area which gets significantly colder. Local mets hammer on that point anytime Austin gets close to freezing. See tweet below from that morning: Also notice how the station they are using for Austin is measuring 37. And just for one last data point, here is the weather station in my back yard for that morning. 33.1
January 26, 20232 yr Enjoy the sun today if you are able. Starting this weekend, the extended forecast looks very February.

January 26, 20232 yr 1 minute ago, slorch said: Am I reading that right? Prediction of 2 inches of snow for Lubbock area? The top (pink) one is accumulated frozen rain, not snow. (shitshow Icepocalypse). The one I posted is snow accumulation, which would have LBK at 20 inches. Edited January 26, 20232 yr by UnivTex34

The person that posted presented it as 20 inches and not 2. I've actually never seen it present that way with 10 to 1 (seems really pointless), but I did not stay in a Holiday Inn last night.
January 26, 20232 yr Aha, that is not 10 to 1 on what is being presented on the graph. It ids the standard snowfall to liquid ratio. This is per PivotalWeather.com So that is 20 inches and not 2.

January 26, 20232 yr Yeah, just stumbling my way through it until that asshole @phdhorn comes back and does it for me.

January 26, 20232 yr Author That is correct. For every one inch of liquid precipitation it is equal to 10 inches of snow.
January 26, 20232 yr Meh… Othersites are forecasting ice on Tuesday and wintry mix on Thursday. It ain’t gonna be the 20” by a long shot.
January 26, 20232 yr Lol, this is just 1 model a week out, so yes, you could be correct. The model could also confirm. 3 days out is where we will be able to tell with more certainty.
January 26, 20232 yr 20 fucking inches of snow in Lubbock... and other sites are saying smattering of ice on Tuesday and wintry mix with minimal accumulations on Thursday. Ain't fucking happening. The all-time record for Lubbock snowfall in a single day still stands at 11.4 inches back on January 20, 1983. The most snowfall recorded in a 24-hour period in Lubbock occurred from January 20-21, 1983 at 16.3 inches. Edited January 26, 20232 yr by slorch
January 26, 20232 yr Just bought three pallets of water and 48 rolls of toilet paper at HEB. I'm ready.

Can you completely discount it? Nope. this is also total accumulation not in a single day. This is the same model that got the 2021 freeze dead on. Quite a few folks Said the same thing about that one. Edited January 26, 20232 yr by UnivTex34
