I'm hoping the phrase "nothing burger" is a casualty of this weather and freezes to death.
Morning update from the national weather service:
Bumped up snowfall totals a little farther south and west to 2
to 5 inches generally along and north of I-20. There is still
potential for some banded or convective snowfall which could
result in isolated totals of 8 to 10 inches. This is most likely
to occur anywhere from the northern parts of the Metroplex to
the Red River over toward Paris.

I remember 2021. But, I've seen nothing "pretty big" in SW FW in the last "four or five years" otherwise.

Not sure there was one last year though.
Snowing pretty steady in Celina

Bone dry this morning, 36 degrees, and rain all day. Glad all the isd's were so thoughtful to cancel ahead of time!
I'd much rather have them cancel ahead of time than the "school closes in an hour, cancel your day and pick up your kids" like in winter of 2022
Why would they cancel today? Cold rain?
Many areas are already icing. You do realize kids have to come home from school too right?
Snow in McKinney

Again, that didn't really materialize into anything in my neck of the woods (SW FW). Maybe further north FW or Dallas areas. But, not here.

…and to add, you also need to have a staff. They typically don't all live across the street from the school.

Not at my house! Southwest FW.
Been snowing in SE Frisco for the last ~30 minutes, just got heavier.
Yeah this is the big reason. Getting to school this morning wasn't going to be a problem. Getting them home could be. Lets be honest, the majority of drivers in DFW suck as it is. Add in school traffic and a bunch of new high school drivers who have no idea how to drive on ice is a bad mix.Teslag said:Coates said:VP at Pierce and Pierce said:Coates said:

Been snowing in Kessler Park for the last 15-20 mins.

Icing at 34 degrees? Must be some magic rain/mix/snow!

Sleet just changed over to heavy wet snow in Prosper. Driveway and yard already glazed.
What a nothing burger!
What a picture you painted! I can see it in my mind. I think we are all in for a winter treat.
Sleet turned into snow currently in Farmers Branch. No accumulation on the concrete but the roofs and flower beds are white
ETA it also dropped to 34.0 from 36.7 when I woke up

Idk, by 2 pm weather shouldn't be an issue. The way SWA runs their schedules, it all depends on where your plane is coming from. If it hasn't been delayed by its previous airports/flights and the weather is clear in Dallas, you're probably good.mAgnoliAg said:wangus12 said:I texted my wife, but she's probably still asleep since SWA is letting them work from home todayDouble Diamond said:
Hearing reports of sleet coming down in Anna north of McKinney. Can anybody verify?
Will my flight tomorrow at 2 be delayed heavily? Or no?
But then again, DFW airports and airlines tend to freak out with weather.
Hard sleet here in Lakewood.

Can you do this in another board or on social media? We get that you have been personally inconvenienced by the schools closing, but nobody else cares.
Pretty heavy snow in Flower mound now
You are not very bright are you?Coates said:Teslag said:Coates said:VP at Pierce and Pierce said:Coates said:

I love how TXDOT just automatically closes all the express lanes whenever there's bad weather. After that bad accident a few years back in Fort Worth (and it turned out they hadn't treated that stretch for over a day), they no longer even try to keep them open.
Still freezing rain in Arlington which is melting as soon as it hits the ground.
Coates is PIZZED he has to watch his kids
I heard that on the radio driving that they'd just shut them all down. Forgot about that crazy accident
Heavier snow and huge snowflakes in Kessler Park now.
Definitely sticking here in Prosper.
Sleet/Snow mix in Rockwall. Only sticking to the roof, not on the ground yet.
Cannot speak to SW FW at this point in time,

Gonna precip all day with a very fine line between melting and really gnarly. I don't get the angst
More or less same in Sachse, more snow at this point. Smaller flakes but steady coming down.
Getting some nice flakes in Lakewood.
Snowing in Southlake but streets are wet. Took the laser thermometer out and street is at 34* Is it supposed to drop below freezing?
Lewisville: 32 at midnight, warmed up to almost 37 by 6 as the moisture came in, and it just got back to 32. It's been alternating snow and pretty heavy sleet for about the last hour. Grass is covered, can see a little bit accumulating on the road.
Big flakes and starting to come down hard in Plano

As wintry precip falls it will cool the air and ground as well.
Prosper has had heavy snow for a good 30-45 minutes now. Roofs costed yards sticking. Walked the street in front of our house and it's slick.
