120 year record at DFW Airport?TexasAggie008 said:
Sad fact (as of Feb 2020 at least)
"During the last five years at Dallas Fort Worth Airport (DFW), a total of 0.3 of snow has been recorded. That includes the 0.2 that fell back on January 11. This is the lowest 5-year snow total in the 120-year record."

These are two posts from that link TexasAggie008 posted. Still nothing showing on WC forecast, but might be something to keep an eye on?Quote:
0Z Euro shows column below freezing down to 925mb when bulk of precip moves through Sunday morning. Euro ENS members have 1/2 to 1 inch snow across DFW. Something to finally follow, it's been awhile!!

12z Euro snows in Oklahoma but not DFW
Icon has trended that way after being snowy in DFW last night, CMC same idea
I had to park my RWD Lexus at the end of the driveway for a few days several years ago because of this.Garrelli 5000 said:
I purchased my truck 5 years ago next month. I've always dreaded the next ice storm when I have to navigate going up the drive then swinging 90 degrees into the garage.
Haven't had to try it yet (nor snow).
Weird because I remember several years starting in 2011 or 2012 we had bad ice storms, one year twice within a month or so.
At this point we've got 5th graders that haven't even had one to know what it's like.Goose said:
No more snow days? Really??
Y'all honestly don't think teachers will 'accidentally' forget to bring their computer home that day?? Or claim that the ice took down telephone lines to their neighborhood and their internet is out? Teachers like em some snow days just as much if not more than the students I bet.

One of the effects of (thing that shall not be named) is increased upper level wind shear. The shear works to clean out moisture in the upper level where these ice storms tend to need it to be if we want to be pasted with inches and inches of ice on the road. We can still get snow, but these massive ice storms of years past are going to need some really funky things to line up just perfectly to summon Michael Irvin.

Looks like a slight chance of wintery precip this week. Are the tv weather guessers freaking out yet?

It's been 5 years since we've had a major ice/snow storm.
