Wow it is a realllllyyyyy nice day. Partly cloudy and sitting at 69. Not sure if we'll eek out a 70. One of the notable things about this winter is the lack of 70s. I checked and the last time we didn't hit 70 in Dec, Jan, or Feb was the winter of 09-10 and 03-04 just had one day. Average is 3 days in Dec, 2 in Jan, 3 in Feb. We've had 0 all winter but today may change that.
At this point I kinda hope we don't hit 70. We made it this long already. Kinda want to keep that streak just as proof at the annoyingness of this winter.
Lol are you referring to me?, it certainly isn’t warm or even mild today here and there is no even remotely mild weather in the offing for the foreseeable future per the weather channel’s extended forecast. If anything the weather forecast has gotten colder for Fort Worth and for much of Texas for that matter; some places north of DFW could see lows near zero by late this weekend, and I thought I left this kind of continental rubbish behind when I left Indiana
Yes, you. If you want consistent warm weather, you'll need to move south of I-4 in Florida. Texas ain't going to cut it.
Believe it or not, I did perform some cursory research courtesy of Google prior to making that (admittedly exaggerated) claim that Galveston Bay would freeze. According to this website, "much of Galveston Bay froze" in the February of 1899, when Houston dipped to 8 degrees. The high that day was 25 degrees, which was the only sub-freezing high for the entire month. There was no sustained sub-freezing weather prior to the cold snap.
I do admit that I have often felt dubious of these historical accounts of extreme cold waves, the effects of which seem terribly exaggerated. However, assuming the website is at all reliable, I'm not being too hyperbolic. The upcoming cold snap could at least match in severity and duration the 1899 event, and I'm guessing that there will be at least a bit of ice formation around the shoreline--IF the insane GFS forecast verifies.
But users who pointed out the warm water temperatures were not wrong to do so--a 58 degree surface temperature is not going to be brought down to freezing in a single day, so "freeze over" is definitely an overstatement.
We are sitting at 27, which will be the warmest day forecasted over the next 7 days and we are having very bad freezing fog which has everything, including roads, glazed in ice. Luckily this is better than freezing rain and ice storms. I haven't much outside in the last two days because the cloud/fog is so thick. Low 17 tonight.
Ocean salt water wont freeze until the water reaches 28f, much of the time it wont freeze even at that temp due to wave action mixing the upper cold water and the relative warm at the lower level
Holy crap. Just checked Allen again. High of 16 and low of 2 now. That's just crazy.
KDAL's lowest Feb high is 17 back in 1989.
KDAL's all time record low is 0. KDFW's is -1.
This is some serious cold that hasn't been seen since the 80s if it verifies.

>70F here today, even if only for a few minutes.
I think the SE Ridge is stronger than the models are taking into account. That was a miss by ~10F in the forecast. Every day has been warmer than predicted.
