From 66 To Sleet In One Week!
Traffic is snarled and schools will be closed tomorrow in parts of Dallas/Fort Worth, where sleet and snow will fall through the night. KXAS-TV Meteorologist/co-worker Rebecca Miller said in her Monday morning forecast that a wintry mix was possible today and tonight. Chief Meteorologist David Finfrock says conditions will not improve until around noon Tuesday. All of the necessary links, including school closings are in the Dallas/Fort Worth page. OK, I won’t tell you my life story here, but I will mention that one of the big reasons I moved to DFW was to escape winter. The day I left Detroit for good turned out to be the coldest morning of that winter season (-2 degrees on Jan. 22, 2000). When I arrived in Texas, I was greeted with an ice storm. Today, North Texas is seeing snowflakes for the second time in just over a month. Evidence of the first snowfall appeared on the WXnation Fort Worth cam. You can check that cam again today, or try these: EarthCam Dallas streaming cam, Irving streaming cam, KXAS-TV cams, WFAA-TV cams or the SMU cam. It was 66 and sunny here last week … The high in Dallas/Fort Worth this afternoon? In the mid-20s. Low tonight? 23, with wind chills in the low teens.
No escape!!!
Another big storm may be headed to the East Coast later this week, while flooding last weekend continued to cause damage. Fortunately, dry weather is expected in much of the region, Monday. Further south and west, the northern half of Oklahoma got 18 inches of snow!
