The question is whether it's gonna be wet. Ain't that always the question? The models were wildly different in 2021. The one I used to use to trade natty fymurures was adamant we were looking at a prolonged deep cold. I spent the week ahead buying food, firewood and other shit because I trusted that model. Some models are showing next week much colder than what we see from NWS. He’ll, this past week has been much cooler for much longer than they called for.

January 16Jan 16 Heh. The only "good" that came out of COVID for me, other than job security, was to point out the volume that I was drinking. I was using the Specs and Twin apps to curbside tequila regularly. It was easy to see my pattern and hit the fucking breaks before it got out of hand, but I could see how easily I would have drowned myself in that shit. I think I loaded up on 2 handles in '21. I don't remember much about it other than being thankful my pipes survived.

I'd never been to the mountains and had never seen snow. First time I saw snow was a trip to Colorado when in 2007 when I was 27. I got married in June of 2003. Spent Christmas that year in Corpus with my family. Spent Christmas 2024 in East Texas with my wife's family. This was pre iPhone, so I was getting call after call from my parents, sister, aunts, uncles and drunk cousins saying how amazing it was to have a White Christmas. In Corpus Christi. Meanwhile, I was sitting in the living room with no snow, no TV, no music, and no entertainment with my wife's teetotaling family. 20 years later, and I'm still pissed about it.

January 16Jan 16 For those of us in SE Texas, there is still snow on the table. We won’t know for certain until Sunday really, but it’s fun to imagine. I just hope my business trips gets canceled so I can stay home and throw the football in the snow with my son.

That reminds me about another thing about that trip...we were visiting my wife's brother and his family along with her parents and grandmother. Everybody was cool with some winter drinking except grandma. I was 37 at the time and had to go to the basement to sneak in some bourbon for my egg nog so grandma wouldn't see...and I too am still pissed. That old bat lived to be 100, so that wasn't the last time Jiggy had to slink off for booze like a an underaged tennager.

January 16Jan 16 Herzog’s latest THURSDAY 1/16/2025 ARCTIC UPDATE I'm seeing more signs that we may be in for a genuine Gulf coast snowstorm over Southeast Texas starting MLK Day and ending on Tuesday. Based on all the data we have now( (plus looking back at similar weather patterns from the past), our part of the state looks to be most favored for snowfall, and potentially a heavy one. BUT! BUT! (There's always a "BUT!" 4 to 5 days out...) This largely hinges on where a low pressure center forms over the Gulf of Mexico. If it forms generally east of Brownsville, it is likely SNOW ON for Southeast Texas. That's what the European computer models is showing. But if it forms closer to the Bay of Campeche, then it tugs a lot of the moisture along with it. There could still be snow, but it would be generally south of I-10 and may miss Houston entirely like the Christmas Eve snow of 2004. That's what the morning run of the American model is showing...but the new run populating right now is coming in line with the snowier European model. So what happens if the coastal low forms closer to Texas? Then we could be in for a lot of freezing rain, and that would be a worst-case scenario. What are currently predicting? We are still holding our snow chances at 40%...for now. But if we continue to see things converging toward the European solution, then those snow chances will be going way up. I'll update you again later this evening after analyzing some more data. Stay tuned!

My wife's aunt has a great house on a cool farm, so they always hosted Christmas. But she strictly forebode drinking because her husband was a recovering alcoholic. At least my wife warned me before we got married. She said "just keep a bottle in your truck and bring a styrofoam cup so they can't see it." Of course, I was the only one drinking so it was way less fun. Found out about a decade later that the same husband had a nice little grove of the devil's lettuce in the back 40. He was (and still is) California sober.

January 17Jan 17 Here is the forecast for further east next week. I'm supposed to be in NO next week. I have a feeling it isn't going to happen and that's just fine.
January 17Jan 17 The high here Monday through Wednesday is 4-9, the low from -5 to -16. Going to be chilly walks.
January 17Jan 17 Well, I hope I don’t get cancer on Tuesday.If you do, there's a nurse in the Mays building, floor two (bladder cancer) who is a veritable goddess. Fair skin, raven-black hair, shoulder tats, and the perkiest set of tits I've ever seen. When we were on the elevator I told my mom “if I wasn't married I’d dedicate my life to making her mine.” she's probably married to a surgeon or something.

January 17Jan 17 Popular Post Hi again, okay, latest weather "crisis": - Cold air plows thru Sat. evening. Coldest of year. However, dry air = low overnights but warmup enough to > freezing by afternoons. NOT a 24/7 freeze, i.e. not a big concern. Dry 75% of this spell to boot and the wet part, meh (for ATX). - Storm sliding Mon-Tue across above TX is too dry to whip up a lot of moisture. However it'll pull moisture in S/SE of us, from the Gulf, which will override wedge of cold air. But this largely isn't gonna make it up inland to ATX, simply not the energy to get it here. - Since layers above are cold, more likely snow than anything else for the coast mainly - however could be a very thin band of sleet/freezing rain, not enough to be a regional concern, more just spotty between the coast and ATX. - This is a fairly unusual situation that the storm will generate more along the coast, not inland (since that's where the moisture is). Think of it as winter version of "coastal showers". Therefore Houston and coastal cities might get a good bit of snow, maybe 4-6 inches - the farther NE you go up the coast the more accumulation. This type of situation happens all the time on the Atlantic coast, which is when D.C., NYC, and Boston usually get their huge snowfalls. A mini-version for us here next Tues or so - we get little/nothing inland but the coast gets more - not too frequent in TX. - Austin at most will get a light shot of snow overnight Mon intu Tues, but we're talking a dusting to an inch (more eastern counties, less towards hill country). Not really any big deal, maybe Tues rush a bit snaky, clear up and be normal by afternoon. Right now forecasts are for .01ish in ATX. Yawn. Meh. Cold enough to snow but we're too far NW of the coastal moisture on this one. Maybe pea-sized snowman for your front lawn. - Anyone even mentioning '21 with this needs a new pasttime. That isn't gonna happen in the rest of your lifetime, nor your kids', nor their kids. 6-10 days of below zero night/day with 3-4 winter precit events? I laugh. Amen. Have fun with pea-shooting snowballs at each other. Houston? Stay off the roads, you can't drive in .00004 of snow never mind 4-6 inches. Panic instead and buy everything out of the supermarkets because otherwise you might die. Edited January 17Jan 17 by phdhorn
