It`s has arrived

The temperature has dropped 20 degrees in the past 1.5 hours to 22 degrees. Winds gusting above 30 and it is cold.

Same here. We are at 23 19 and dropping.

Wind rearranged the patio furniture about 6:45

Got a Jacksboro report that it is snowing up there.

Cold, and blowing!
Watch your fingers if you're out in this without good gloves!

Been blowing snow on and off in Shackelford county since before sunrise. Currently 26 with a stiff north wind.

Y'all quit your crying....

Where is wytex's report

In the 20 minutes it took me to drop the kids at school, the temp dropped 14 degrees.

Snowing in Gordon TX

Snow, gusts to 35mph. Suppose to be 12 by lunchtime. Cows are fed, and it was cold doing it. 18 here right now.

I`m 14 miles south of you and we have a few flurries. My wife's bird bath froze solid in 2.5 hours. I went ahead and put my truck in the shop. There was just enough moisture that the doors were already hard to open. Damn.

-18 here right now. No wind and only about 4 inches of snow.
Once the fire burned down in the wood stove, heat finally kicked on this morning and the spouse went down and stoked it back up and shovellled the walk. Cold toes when he got back in bed !!!!

nasty in Frisco

dog went out, turned around, came right back in.


proves dogs are smarter than people

He

It can always be worse.

Numerous trucks over on Cheyenne side, they had the wind we didn't get.

Our high temp today is supposed to be -3. Much worse to our East.

Well note to self when I buy a retirement cabin in WY, plan to be @ TX coast after Thanksgiving!!!

Dang, Nobody has watched the weather or keep up, this has been forecasted for many days now

Yep BOBO, we have many that winter down South.
Summers make up for it, well kind of.

There are some pluses though, I doubt my in-laws would visit in the winter.

That’s a hot spell for you!!!

Just hit here at 10am wind is really blowing

Snowing in Frisco

Funny what doesnt come through with online presence….wytex is a woman? Not that it matters at all, just never caught that in any previous posts.

Well look who just caught up…..

You guys are NOT noticers.

Not noticing because i don’t care. It matters not in the context of an online post.

Flurries in Denton.

We have had 5 or 6 short power outages here. 2 - 4 seconds each time. The generator cranks, but does not reach operating temp before the power comes back on.

These are a little strange...not normal trips and automatic reclosers...I wonder what the power company is up to.

Not fit for man, nor beast here in SE Idaho!!!


From the Idaho State Police: Monida Pass this morning
30 mph winds
-29 degrees
-61 wind chill

"Funny what doesn't come through with online presence….wytex is a woman? Not that it matters at all, just never caught that in any previous posts".


Figured that out a long time ago, it doesn't matter.

You guys crack me up.

Neighbor showed up at the door looking for a jump start. Thankfully my truck has been plugged in and it started, not happy though by the sound of it.
Made the spouse cover his nose, told him not a pretty sight without a nose or a black nose but he wasn't happy about it.
I'm betting he's happy he took the day off today.

Still about -19 but clear, tonight it will get very cold actual temp and then warm up into the 20's tomorrow for our drive.

As you can see , life goes on even when bitter cold up here.
Beers should be very cold at our friends brewery downtown tonight. One last cold one with friends before the holidays.



This is on campus of UW about 2 blocks from our house.

Ran to New Braunfels and filled up the F350. Still 60 here.

61 here, gonna be 25 tonight. Gonna make a big pot of Fideo.

A for effort in crawfishing

Yes, she and her husband run a ranch in WY and have the pleasure of having the best of both worlds.

I image the coastal trout limit will be 1 fish under 8” by next week

power lines are whipping around like a kite out there now - no doubt some feeder lines are shorting/arcing on close tree-limbs.

Man, hope your power holds on.

Wood stove is keeping our furnace from coming on so far, going to stuff it full of my smoker's hardwood tonight.

I have no idea what crawfishing means, but gonna look it up.

Sounds like they have a good life…i am as jealous as you are!

What -31 looks like inside a Montana home today:

Why? Just why? I moved to Texas to avoid Oklahoma temps!!

... and their pipes don't even freeze! That's what blows my mind.

Wind just kicked up in Crockett. Watched it come across the lake.

My Dad was stationed in great falls in the 50s. said they had to heat the engines in his plane for 12 hours just to get them to turn over.

Not here.

Not here.

They build houses for cold up this way.
All of our water pipes run up through the center of our house, next to the exhaust vent pipe for the water heater and furnace.
Frost free faucets outside too.
No pipes in the attic up here.
For bitter cold we pile snow on top of the water meter too, it is deep but without use for a few days while travelling it can freeze up.

Some are slow.

Just got here

Went in the feed store this morning at 10 am. 45 degrees. Came out about 45 minutes later, wind a howling, 34 degrees. Sitting in my comfy chair in downtown Kingsland Tx. drinking a beer,,, 26 degrees. It's heading south boys and girls in a hurry. They say 15 degrees tonight. Don't know how you Northern Folks handle this stuff.

10 am. this morning it was 47° and now at 2pm it is 21° with wind chill around 9° now. Supposed to get down to 10° by daylight in the morning. Hopefully the wind lays down some.

My bad, my apology's Ma'am.

Now 45° with windchill down to 36°. Just herded the bird dogs into the crates in the garage.

Got down here to Hwy 90, west of Del Rio about an hour ago. Fugly.

For us die hards up here, winter is something to be endured and we have stupid celebrations when -40 C equals -40 F.

Still 60 in the house. May turn on the heat if it gets down past 45 inside. Perfect weather for throwing on a blanket and watching some TV.

Prayers.

Sure pal. Way to take the L like a snowflake

I had to run to the lease real quick to get the trailer ready for the deep freeze. I woke up this morning at 6am to head back to Dallas and it was 38 degrees when I left camp. By the time I reached the front gate about 1 mile away the front had hit and by the time I made it to Blackwell a few miles away it was 27 degrees. Got to Abilene and it was 13 degrees with a really thick blowing snow. It snowed pretty heavy all the way to Weatherford and by the time I got to Dallas it was just flurries and 22 degrees. Road conditions were fine the whole way but at times visibility was maybe 100 yards with the 45mph winds.

10F walking to the blind this morning and the wind chill brought it down to -15F at one point. Snowed most of the morning. My dog is the only one happy about it. Deer were smarter than us and nothing was moving

fried spaghetti? I love that chit!!!!!






its Fng cold

Yessr, nice & spicy too. Instead of using ground venison like I normally do, I'm shredding a shoulder roast that I braised in the roaster to throw in there.


Front hasn't made it down here yet.

freeking chef!!!! Merry Christmas!!

I watch numerous weather channels and this snow was not forecasted by any of them! Cold and windy - yes. Snow - NO!

I didn’t hear a word from Frankie.

Just got in from feeding cattle and deer hunting. The wind will cut ya deep. Almost didn’t cut the net wrap off the last 10 round bales. Hunting was just watching the snow flurries. I’ve lived in Colorado and Iowa and it’s been colder. But when you aren’t around really cold weather for awhile even something as small as this Texas cold front will get at you.

Y’all stay warm.

Yep. Last night I watched weather reports for the Abilene and San Angelo area and checked Weather.Com and never saw a mention of snow. Some dallas reports were calling for flurries but never any mention of the heavy stuff I saw from south of Abilene all the way to Weatherford.

11° just north of Lake Ray Roberts - there was steam rising from the water/chop, and blowing sideways in the wind - looked kinda spooky!

Yup. Been a while since I had to spend any time in really cold weather, although this November's part of the panhandle deer season was colder than usual. But it's still tough to adjust when you're not exposed to it regularly. That, and I find that the older I get the more effort I have to spend towards tolerating the cold.

11 degrees here this morning.

Just got out of the hot tub here in Whitefish @ -15. That was a brisk walk back to the Airbnb!

You are exactly right Kent. Been in the south for 30 years, the blood has thinned out. You know how people say that 110 degrees in Phoenix doesn’t feel that bad bad because it’s a dry heat? The same goes for cold. The cold with the higher humidity is way worse than the cold up here.

Hitting us now. Little rain now wind howling. Pose to be 11 tonight. I ain’t hunting in this. Our deer usually lock down in this weather

Was going to cut some pieces of firewood into smaller lengths....so my Wife can more easily throw them on the fire in the fireplace when She wants.

But my chainsaw....said NOPE!

We're sitting at 14°.....

13 in Fairfield right now

It has warmed up here… only -7

12 here but I still don't miss that 108 crap.

14* here in boerne

9 here at the north end of Ray Roberts. I hate the cold.

Was 16 on the back porch just before sunrise, now with the sun up it's a balmy 19.4. I can tolerate the cold more when the sun is shining.

12 and wind blowing.

21° and the wind is blowing here. Brrrrrrr.

My wife said lots of people on face book are complaining about having frozen pipes around here. I guess they never heard of dripping them.

Got down to 23 here, plenty cold. That cold air blowing off the bay hurts.

My watch reported 8 degrees when I woke up just before 7 am. Think it got to 23 for a high.
