A White Christmas?!

Too bad Brylee won't remember this!

From WFAA.com:

Yes, Virginia — North Texas will be getting a white Christmas, with snow accumulations of an inch or more throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth area by late Thursday.

A storm system moved in to the region overnight, and patterns have changed. "It looks like the latest trend stays a little bit longer, it's a little bit stronger, and has a lot more moisture," said WFAA-TV meteorologist Jennifer Schack.

A winter storm warning is in effect through 6 p.m. for counties to the north and west of Dallas-Fort Worth, including Denton County.
Dallas, Tarrant and Collin counties are included in a winter weather advisory during the same time period.

Christmas Eve started with widespread rain in North Texas, but precipitation in Tarrant County was expected to switch from rain to snow in the 10 o'clock hour; the shift is forecast to occur in Dallas County after 11 a.m.

Schack said computer models indicate the storm system will intensify north of Interstate 20 during the afternoon hours. "That means some blowing snow, reduced visibility, accumulating snow across the region lasting into this evening for the Red River counties and lifting off later tonight," she said.

The Channel 8 forecaster said between 1 to 3 inches of snow would accumulate in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, with higher levels as you go north. Counties along the Red River can expect from 3 to 5 inches.

The National Weather Service also issued a wind advisory for all of North Texas through 9 p.m. Thursday, with sustained wind of 20 to 30 mph and gusts as high as 45 mph.

Motorists should be aware of the potential for icy road conditions during the evening hours as skies clear and overnight temperatures drop into the mid-20s in North Texas.

The sun will be out on Christmas Day, with a high of 42.

I think I'll pack up lots of bottles and food for Brylee and Chester in case we get stuck tonight!
