11feb2009_dallas1Moderate to heavy snow has been falling this morning across the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, with widespread reports of 2-5 inches around the I-20 corridor north to extreme southern Oklahoma.  With 1+ inch per hour snowfall rates anticipated for at least another few hours north of a Stephenville to Canton, TX line (Mineral Wells is currently reporting 4-star snow!), I would not be surprised to see some reports in the 8-10 inch range across north Texas!  When this winter cannot seem to get any crazier, it just keeps doing so.  This compact, intense upper-level storm system will continue eastward toward the Central Gulf Coast Region through tonight, where 5-9 inches of snow are being forecast just north of New Orleans!  Winter storm warnings are currently in effect from North Texas east to southern Mississippi, with winter storm watches in place for southern Alabama into southwest Georgia, including Gulf Coast cities like Mobile, AL and Biloxi, MS!  Thankfully for those living in the Mid-Atlantic to New England, it looks like this 11feb2009_dallas2 11feb2009_dallas3southern stream system will surge east into the Atlantic, rather than ride up the coast, so cities like DC, Baltimore, Philidelphia, and NYC should be spared.  We have a few people out streaming live video of this winter storm, including Aaron Estman from the DFW area, so be sure to check out the iMap page here:  http://www.tornadovideos.net/full-screen-chaser-video.php

I got a quick Video Clip 3 hours after the start of this historic snowfall at DFW:

It's AMAZING to have this much snow in DFW! I LOVED it (being from up North & going thru blizzards every couple years) and my kids are still enjoying the snow!

I have about 4 inches of snow so far in Coppell which is just NE of DFW airport. It is pretty but tonight, with forecast freezing temperatures, could be trouble in the morning for the drive into work.
