Wait, there's a model out there that's actually been showing less than 2-4" for DFW ?06z RGEM, which has been the consistently driest model, has also come in significantly wetter.
It now shows a solid 2-4" for DFW.
I guess you will just have to do it the old-fashioned way and make it an all nighter !The only thing I hate is most of the snow looks to come through in the middle of the night.
That's good for efficient accumulation, but not the best time for viewing.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but If this system has the energy to scour out the wedge and put us into the warm sector for severe, it should have the energy to pull in at least a piece of that Arctic air just to its west and at least bring a quick cold snap... that’s pretty much what happened with the storm system that came through on Christmas Eve06z euro/eps have nothing East of the mountains but instead a warm sector severe weather setup, differences relate to H5
Eh models don’t really show much but seasonal cool air moves in for a day or so, almost all the models flex the SER immediately with SW flow from the gulf in nina fashion due to the upcoming weak +NAO so there’s nothing to really suppress the SE US ridge, now after it’ll probably come back (-NAO)Correct me if I’m wrong, but If this system has the energy to scour out the wedge and put us into the warm sector for severe, it should have the energy to pull in at least a piece of that Arctic air just to its west and at least bring a quick cold snap... that’s pretty much what happened with the storm system that came through on Christmas Eve
Not to mention, the 00z EURO is actually a bit wetter than the 12z run.
And it's funny because if it were any other season, 3-4" would be an impressive snowfall for Texas.
I bet snow with temps in the single digits or low teens in Dallas is pretty rare. When is the last time Dallas had a big snow with temps under 10 ?3-4” of snow at/near DFW still is and always will be a very impressive snow there. It can’t possibly not be considering their climo. They’ve only had 10 FULL months of 4”+ of snow since way back in 1940.

Seems like this may be a once in a lifetime type event when you combine cold and snow.I don’t know about it with snow, but they haven’t had any single digits since February of 1996.
