I noticed last evening some amazing orange, peach colors near the horizon at sunset.

We've made it unscathed, including the Christmas decorations in the front - that was a miracle in the 40+ mph wind gusts.

Back down to 29°F on the way to 21-22°F.

I just ordered mine off Amazon. Was supposed to come in today but there’s a delay so I might not get it till Monday.

Got down to 23.7 on my station. Sugar Land airport got down to 25 and I’m usually a degree or two cooler. Very cold Christmas morning and loving it! Merry Christmas all!

18°F last night. That's 12.9°F, 19°F, 18°F IMBY in a row for low temps.

17°F, 9°F, and 5° were the last string of nights where lows were teens or below. That was potent cold. The expectation is for lows below freezing tonight and tomorrow - about 28°F...before the big warmup.

In Feb. 2021 we had 10 nights (albedo helps!) in a row at freezing or under.

Sambuol nope, next 7-14 days look warm, but definitely not a blow torch pattern either, I expect a return to colder weather mid month ( January)as the polar vortex begins to weaken again

Lots of 40s to 60s the next two weeks. We peak in the low 70s a couple days.

Definition of seasonal.

Luckily it’s a quick humid and warm spell.

I'm seeing a lot of 50s (hi) - 30s (lo) after Jan 2 on GEPS Ensemble. GEFS and EPS are fairly similar - maybe a couple of degrees warmer. Seasonably mild, but not warm. Works for me until the next arctic front.

Yeah, exactly. Thankfully the AO is negative.
