Let’s get this cold weather party started! I hate cold and love the heat however I am ready for a change. Happy New Year everyone and onward to better days that have arrived.

Happy New Year. The temperature changes, as reported from Storm2K, are drastic. In ten minutes, the temperature dropped from 70.2 degrees to 53.4 after the front passed.

Likely NW25 G30 tomorrow am up here.

Jeez 17 degrees in 10 minutes wow, I definitely think we will be colder than what the models suggest, thats a heck of a drop

When is it suppose to blow through?

For you it’ll be after midnight probably.

Some of tonights 00z Short range meso models got really interesting for early tommorow morning

They are mentioning power outages due to gusty winds Sunday...ugh.
I want summer back.
Happy New Year y'all

Advection getting cranked up here. Loving it. Can finally turn the A/C OFF.

Thought about heading to Big Bend tomorrow, but auto trouble. The northerly winds would have been buffeting the van anyway.

Would not be surprised to see overperformance on the cold. We're already down into the 50s after 80s this afternoon. Skies cleared more quickly that expected.

Interesting

Ah, cool air just started here! Wind picking up sharply as well.

How was there zero precipitation with this front? Hot pea soup out in front and strong cold line hitting it. Seems like it would wring water out of the atmosphere.

doesn't feel very cold without the wind blowing...I'll take it I guess lol

Lol 30 degrees here with 20 mph wind gusts, I beg to differ lol

Woke up to 29* this morning in Fairfield Cypess. That’s about 4-5* cooler than forecasted.

Whoa, yes the cold advection overperformed.

25°F currently in CLL. NW26 G38 with a wind chill of 11°F. Dewpoint of 12°F.

We beat Conroe, currently at 28°F. We are clear here and are on full tilt advection. Conroe is overcast,

When I saw the temps yesterday, I knew the forecast was going to bust. I think most of us did. They still held onto that low of 33 though, and sure enough, when I woke-up, it was 30 degrees with ice on my patio furniture. It was too windy to cover anything anyway, but I am glad I already drained my backflow. A few of the tropical shrubs will freeze back but the new palm garden 2.0 will laugh at the cold fronts now. So far, I have 5 mule palms and 3 windmill palms. We're ready.

These shallow arctic air masses tend to always over perform...

I hope this cold spell is the start of a colder pattern and not just back to a warm pattern
