[snow] Daily Winter Weather Discussion Thread #25

Euro plunges South Louisiana into the freezer. Not getting much above freezing on the 27th, with many hard freeze potentials.

So if this were to happen, would do you think that would correlate to as far as temperatures.

I love ro read historical weather events in south Louisiana. Although we’ve had numerous sleet and snow events since record keeping, has there ever been a significant ice storm say south of I-10? Northern Louisiana has. I’m talking at least a solid quarter inch of ice and more. You would think so with all of these shallow cold air masses we have dealt with. I can’t imagine the collapse of New Orleans infrastructure wit a half inch of ice. Again, i’m talking mainly or all ice. Anybody?

This cold air that has been showing up doesn't appear to be shallow. The heights are low because many times that 540 line dips well into the Gulf.

Oh, no doubt. I hate ice storms. Had them in Oklahoma as a teen. I was just noticing that these shots of air don't seem so shallow according to the GFS, which is more indicative of snow.  

There was a major ice storm to hit Lafourche Parish, my husband talks about it a lot, he said it was so cold that Bayou Lafourche froze, I’ll ask him the year
