Hi, all. Checking in from Jackson. I've lived here only 11 years, but I don't remember it being this cold AND snowing at the same time. We're at 23 with snow and wind gusting to 30 mph soon. We've gotten only about a half inch so far, but there are accidents all over. It looks like light snow may continue here for the next couple of hours. We should end up close to an inch.

In what way...?

Here in Ville Platte it's started to sleet at about 8:30 am, temps have been dropping, we are at 29 last time I checked, but the sleet has been fine, almost powdery, not really accumulating, just miserable.

I much rathered the 3 or 4 inches of real snow in December.

According to Houston forum, moisture is back building to San Antonio.

You can see it on the NWS mosaic radar.... and it's banding parallel to the direction of travel.
