Texas Fall/Winter thread!

If I remember my experience with uploading a video of Whipper and snake. I had put it on YouTube then TBN.

Agree. . . I've had the best (only) results by putting the video on YouTube.

Thursday night's rain and wind storm really hit the hangar hard. Very heavy rain. I was disappointed when I got home to see only a tenth of an inch in the rain gage. Sadness prevails.
hugs, Brandi

Brandi, after all the rain you have had in the last 2 weeks:confused3: I know what you mean though, we could all use good soaking.

Looks like for us up here on he "North side" may have a White Christmas:cool2: probably will be just a dusting, but that would be a great way to top off the holiday since I will be at home and not on the roads.

Dennis,
Well, at least we have rain forecasted for Christmas Eve and Christmas day.
hugs, Brandi

I hope everyone has a happy and safe Christmas and my 'weather rock' gets covered in snow tomorrow. The probability of freezing ice/snow is 70% and I'm gonna hold 'em to it.

 

[Bird]

I'd definitely like to see some rain, and wouldn't even mind a little snow, but of course we have to go to Ft. Worth the middle of the morning tomorrow, and back home sometime tomorrow afternoon, and we sure don't want icy roads like we had on Christmas day 3 years ago.

Just started to rain at 12 midnight, hopefully it is a measurable amount on the way.

Oh.. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!:cool2:

That's alright Dennis. Santa has windshield wipers and radar on his sleigh.
Merry Christmas hugs, Brandi

Merry Christmas to all...and, be safe out there in the cold and wet. Supposed to be in 20;s tonight.

I don't know just when it started, but I awoke to thunder, lightning, and rain just after 2 a.m. Rain is about the best Christmas gift we could get.

 

[jinman]

Rain is about the best Christmas gift we could get.

Yessir! . . . and we've 'unwrapped' about 0.2" of it already as it continues to fall at a soft, steady pace. However, my temperature is falling a full degree about every half hour, so we are gonna be into fluffy flakes instead of rain soon if it keeps this up. I hope you don't have to drive in ice, Bird, but a little slushy snow on the sides of the road would just make it feel like a real Christmas.

Going to be in the mid 70s today with some wind (20 mph range),, no rain in the forecast,, so I guess I will fry a couple of turkeys for Christmas Dinner,, overeat and take a nap.. Take care and Merry Christmas to all,, Lou

 

[Bird]

I sure hope I don't have to drive on ice. NWS shows Denton still at 41 degrees and .66" of rain so far. But here it's 38 degrees and my rain gauge is a bit over three-quarters of an inch so far.

 

[RDrancher]

Bird, the temps are heading south at a pretty rapid rate. Its down to 37 now. Drive safely.

Merry Christmas to Everyone!

 

[Western]

Snowing at a pretty good clip right now,31*. Forecast tonight a windy 16*, so Bird if you're going, better get the "team" hitched up and move out! wont be much of a good window for driving when the bridges start to freeze. Everything elevated has a light snow covering here, but the road appears just wet.......for now

BTW, just over 1/2" of rain in the gauge, feel blessed to have that!

 

[EddieWalker]

I'm watching the radar and it sure looks like snow in the DFW area, and it's heading this way. Anybody have pictures?

I'm at an inch of rain so far, but the radar looks like the heavy rain is done and it's getting colder out.

[bindian]

Well, the storm missed us. I heard two booms of thunder and some drops of rain. We got just enough rain to wet the bottom of the rain gage. I just talked to my daughter (who is at my ex mother in law's house near Colnesneil and Woodville......deep East Texas) and she said the storm was intense with lots of rain and wind and now they have no electricity. Generator running and they are trying to warm up the smoked turkey in the brick bar-be-que pit.
Merry Christmas hugs, Brandi

 

[Western]

Sorry Eddie, took it with my cell phone, best I could do without getting all dressed up:laughing: Right at about 3" so far.

 

[EddieWalker]

WOW!!!! That's amazing. A lot more then I was expecting. I hate snow, but I always want to see it, then wish it never happened.

Eddie

 

[jinman]

Here, we don't have nearly the accumulation as Dennis (and he's in the southern part of the county). We have a couple of inches and it looks like a blizzard because the wind is blowing snow around so much. I think it quit snowing over an hour ago, but you'd never know it by lookin' outside.

Stay safe, Bird!!!

 

[Bird]

Well, we left here just after 10 a.m., drove to Ft. Worth in the rain, then because of the heavy snow, we didn't stay as long as we would have otherwise; got home about 2:15 p.m. And the snow is really coming down. I'm using my binoculars to look out the window at my rain gauge and it appears to have a full inch or more of water in the bottom of the gauge plus some snow on top of that. And with 30 degrees officially in Denton now, and 20 degrees already on my patio and forecast to go to 18 tonight, the snow may stick around awhile.

And we're home safe and warm and plan to stay in until the weather changes.:laughing:
