Last time DFW saw measurable snow = Jan. 6th, 2017 (over 3 years)

Look how densely populated the area is where the likely

This path isn't exact at all, but there are NO open areas anywhere close.
Given the damage I've seen, it is INCREDIBLE if we end up with no fatalities.

Did you notice the roads or concrete were wet this morning even though there was no rain or drizzle? This is called ground sweat, and it happens when the ground is cooler than the humid and warmer air above it, which causes condensation to form on the concrete.

PSA:
If you’re going to go gawk at storm damage, do it safely. Watch out for traffic lights that are out. Don’t stop in the middle of the road or drive excessively slow on busy roads. Don’t use your phone and drive. Respect others who are cleaning up.

Have you heard us talk about the "cap"?
These images perfectly show you the cap. See how the smoke isn't rising higher than a certain height? That's the cap. It's a layer of warm air above the surface that acts like a lid, and prevents the smoke from rising any higher.

Few neat things I noticed during the eclipse:

-Jupiter and Venus visible
-hearing cheers of people watching in the distance before we hit totality as they saw it just seconds before us
-definitely cooler and pleasant outside

The full "harvest" moon showing up nicely on our Dallas camera this morning. What's neat about the harvest moon is that is rises and sets near sunrise/sunset giving us a great look at it. This is also the 1st of 2 full moons this month with the next one being on Halloween.

Sirens are being sounded for Irving and Grand Prairie. They could be going off in other areas of the DFW area as well. There are no Tornado Warnings, but wind gusts of 70+ mph are possible. These are potentially damaging, so the sirens are being sounded.

They are “outdoor warning sirens” not tornado sirens. So they can be sounded for things other than tornadoes. Like hail, wind, or civil emergencies.

This is VERY important to understand.
Unless you bury every transmission line (which isn’t going to happen), ice can cause power outages. This is not unique to Texas. Any state with above ground transmission lines will be susceptible to ice causing issues.
@MToney
The widespread loss of power last year was because of the intense cold and how long it lasted. Yes, ice can also cause power outages. But not related to overwhelming the grid.

That's only the 2nd time on record it has been -2° and the only time it was colder was -8° back in 1899. DFW has not seen a temp like this in over 70 years.

Hearing reports of sirens in parts of Collin County (McKinney, Allen, Fairview). There is a Severe Thunderstorm Warning for southern Collin County, but worst of the storm is moving away from those areas. Sirens were sounded for the threat of 65-70mph winds NOT a tornado.

Confidence is increasing for winter weather in North Texas mainly Wednesday eve thru Thursday. A mix of freezing rain, sleet, and snow is looking likely followed by very cold temps Thursday into Friday. Exact amounts will be ironed out as we get closer. Stay tuned for updates!

Nice "roost ring" showing up on radar this morning near the Seagoville-Crandall-Kaufman area. The radar is detecting birds taking flight from their roosts. This time of year it is likely migratory birds taking flight.
Anyone have any ideas what birds they could be?

If you are wondering...
Each community, city, etc. can sound the "outdoor warning sirens" (they are not just "tornado sirens") for what they deem appropriate.
However, most places in NTX have agreed to sound them for a tornado, 70+ mph winds, or golf ball size hail or bigger.

Lots of people asking about the "wavy" clouds today...they are called asperitas (used to be called undulatus asperatus), and simply just look like rippling ocean waves in the sky. While not super rare, we only see them here in North Texas a few times a year.

Difference between "freezing rain" and "sleet":
Freezing rain - Looks like normal rain. All liquid. But freezes on contact with the ground, leaf, mailbox, etc.
Sleet - Frozen raindrops. Frozen when they hit the ground. Pellets of ice.
