Jan 2024 was one of my favorite events, but we were hust far enough north to see 2-3” of snow and sleet that covered the roads for over a week. Plus blizzard conditions because of West Hills down sloping. Feb 2025 too had a solid 3”+ of snow here, with dry and blowing snow at the start and wet snow that flocked the trees at the end. Not too much sleet in that one at least here. That was a good event in my opinion.

Yeah, I think in early March 2024 I took a quick drive to the coast range. No snow or anything on the west hills. Snow was sticking at around 200ft once you got beyond Banks. At around 700ft, the roads were snow covered and there was at least 6”+ of snow. The next day, after some melting had definitely occurred, I went and it looked like there was at least 1.5ft at Stub Stewart park at 1200ft. Really cool to be able to drive a relatively short amount and see these huge differences.

That was a really solid event. Just a year ago it was in the mid 20s with near blizzard conditions and blowing dry snow, but the second wave had the wet type of snow that flocked to all the trees. IMG_0634.mov

Yeah, just two years ago actually the USA beat Pakistan in a Super Over (basically overtime) in Dallas, which was a huge upset. Seattle is pretty big for the sport (I’ve actually played a little there recreationally) and Los Angeles especially

My school let out early and I lived close enough to walk, and it was whiteout conditions. Extremely strong east winds and blowing snow on the 6th and probably around or below 20 degrees in the afternoon/evening. And then two more waves the next two days. That was a great event

Hood River, OR had a 70" snowstorm in 3 days in 1980, and that town is only about 400' of elevation, that terrain makes for crazy extremes. Even lowland towns like Portland, Seattle, and Eugene have had larger 3 day snowfall totals way back in the past than a lot of East Coast towns. Obviously very rare though.

I think they also had a 23/17 day on 1/14/24, and if I remember the precip was done by evening on the 13th. That was a great event, we had solid snow/sleet covering even on roads for over a week.

Multiple bright flashes and very heavy sleet falling!

Holy getting thundersleet in austin! just saw a really bright flash

Down to 32 in Austin as the temp has been steadily dropping from near 70 degrees on Friday. Lot of standing water and there looks to be a wave of precip in the evening with sleet/rain and temps in the 20s so this will probably get messy.

Was 75 degrees here in Austin yesterday, and 70 today and tomorrow. Huge change on saturday where the temp will crash from the 50s to below freezing and probably stay in the 20s most of saturday night into sunday!

What are ice/sleet totals like for texas?

Looks like I could see a snow/ice/sleet storm this weekend in Austin, Winter Storm Watches already up for Dallas

What's the ice potential like for Austin? Think we're a bit too far south but wondering if it could affect us. Not used to tracking winter weather east of the Rockies yet!

I don’t think the January 10-17, 2017 period was impressive at all from a 500mb perspective (though the earlier month stuff was) but on the surface that was easily the most impressive weeklong stretch locally in Portland in a while.
