Thar She Blows!

Another windy day in SA, as the low pressure that brought the cold and snow to Texas, slowly moves out of this area. At my house in Helotes, we have seen a few gusts near 33 mph this afternoon. As the low finally moves out, very dry air that will rapidly cool down after sunset and put much of South Texas into a rare "Spring Freeze" by tomorrow morning. Afternoon dew points are running in the low 20's, so temperatures will be dropping possibly into the upper 20's in the low lying areas in Bexar County tonight. The only thing that might keep the temps from dropping as low, will be if the winds continue to blow late into the evening.

Once we get through tomorrow, based on every computer model I can find, it looks to me that we have seen our last freeze of the season for Bexar County, although a few more upper 30's are possible in about a week as another fairly strong cold front moves through.

I continue to have some issues with my weathercam communicating with Weather Underground, so for now, I'll just post some images from the cam on this blog. Here is an image taken this afternoon. If you look closely, you can see my neighbor riding his lawnmower in the street!

Here is some Dallas snow info from NOAA:

.. Spring snow for dfw...

Dfw Airport recorded 1.2 inches of snow on March 20th. This breaks
the previous daily record for March 20th of 0.4 inches set in 1970.
An additional 0.1 of an inch officially fell on March 21st and the
event total is 1.3 inches.

The additional 1.3 inches brings the 2009-2010 winter total to 17.1
inches. This ranks second of all time and came 0.5 inches shy of
tying the all-time record of 17.6 inches set in 1977-1978.

This snow event was unseasonably late in the year. The last time an
inch or more fell at dfw later than March 20th was when 2 inches
fell on March 29th in 1937.
