It starts to sprinkle every time I leave the house but nothing real.
Always bet on The Dome to cover.
"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill
Max said yesterday there wouldn't be much in the Brazos valley. Gotta go east Texas into Arkansas and Louisiana for the good rain

Raining pretty good at Carter Creek.
Raining good in EaBry right now.
Getting a couple of decent bursts at Munson and Francis but nothing steady.
I'm now closer to 29th but we got a good shower over here too
Yeah, I got a good rain. Thunder was so nice to hear!
Storming over here now and the wind is beginning to pick up
Max knocking it out of the park for Bryan! Rain from here to the bypass!
I had enough faith in Max that I put 2 tons of urea out yesterday on infant winter pasture. The fog melted it in this morning and we have had 1/4" so far. Should be good to go. Urea prices just aren't coming down, however. Did see diesel as low as I have seen in years. $2.81.
Storming again across from the old Schulman theatre on 29th.
Getting some rain in Castlegate. Not too heavy bit a bit noisy.
There is an impressive lightening show going on right now in Tower Point.
Got a bit over an inch on Steep Hollow.

Abundant rain in central CS. What dome?
1 1/2 in in Millican
Gig ‘Em Baby!
It's been an interesting winter so far. Thunderstorms in January, pretty crazy.
1.1 inches in town
I'm ok keeping the freezes at bay. My spring tomatoes came roaring back and I've been enjoying an epic fresh tomato harvest all fall and winter.
ASOS at Easterwood is overly optimistic this am. Reporting light snow for over an hour. I'd like to see some evidence of that …..

lol, the tropical plants on my porch are pretty sure it didn't snow. Trust Max.
I never pulled my peppers, so they just keep going.
It's really weird to come back from the garden with jalapenos and snap peas at the same time.

A lot of sensationalist weather accounts are talking about a major winter storm in Texas next weekend. Personally I'm skeptical but just know what this means for HEB and other stores later this week if there's even a scintilla of accuracy at work.
Of course, I'm trying to host a housewarming next weekend
"Warming" might be welcome. I ran this by my Atmospheric Science friends here and they were naturally cautious but also not dismissive.
The house will be warm but the bounce house I rented for the kids might not be
Pro-tip: if you have tender garden plants, hay will be your friend starting this weekend, with 5+ nights well below freezing. I used it during the 2021 event and it worked beautifully…more than frost cloths. I assume many people know this but this is for those who have started gardening and haven't experienced a major winter weather event yet.
From Max Crawford's FB page this morning:
Get your weekend grocery shopping done early. I'm sure it will be chaos in the grocery stores and the shelves will be nearly empty by Friday evening.

Significant update on winter weather this weekend for the Brazos Valley:
We've seen enough to indicate that we'll see at least some sort of wintry precipitation this coming SATURDAY.
Exactly what type will be fine tuned in the next day or two, but freezing rain and sleet appear to be the most likely at this point, with a chilled rain to start and at least a brief switchover to aforementioned mix Saturday afternoon. Colder, drier air then should slowly but surely choke off the moisture and clear things out before the weekend is done, but with temperatures expected to drop well below freezing Saturday night, we expect at least minor travel issues through that time and to at least start Sunday.
What it's TOO SOON to tell
-Accumulation totals: Even precip type is a stretch to resolve at this point, but it's best we prepare for at least SOME accumulation, leading to travel issues, especially Saturday night through Sunday morning.
-Infrastructure issues: This greatly depends on WHAT falls and how much accumulates. My greatest concern at the moment is travel, but we can't rule out power outages at this point, especially farther north.
The biggest thing you NEED to prepare for: The COLD. Temperatures will dip down to the 30s Friday night, and we may not climb above freezing from Saturday night through Monday midday, if we can't get any sunshine Sunday.
Weather models have come a LONG way in that we have several days to "prepare" for the cold, but there's still a LOT of work to do in terms of specific impacts for the area, so that's what I suggest you stay tuned for while we keep things comparatively warm. Things stay quiet through Friday morning, and we recover quickly headed into next week.
One more thing: In terms of cold, this is NOTHING like what Texas experienced in 2021, in severity or duration. This is a different type of weather event where travel and trees/power may be most affected, but even in the "worst case" scenario, we look climb out of the ice box pretty quickly next week.
Stay with us and we'll keep you updated!

Several of the national services have BCS as low as 16 F and 13 F on consecutive nights. In 2021, February, it took us around 2 days to ready for the cold that we got. Barn water, heating options for the greater than 40 newborn ungulates and their moms, and tarping barn windows. This one doesn't look as severe but a lot of folks got caught with their britches down in '21.
It's good to be prepared but there are a LOT of clickbait national weather accounts out there. Lows around 20-22 seem plausible. Glad I got that extra camping stove ready.
Edit: My bad, just saw the new update. Low of 19 now predicted, so yeah 13-16 now seems feasible.
