I hope the winter weather is really coming back like you guys note it is. I think after today, the population down here put out the white flag of surrender with no hope cold weather for the rest of the winter. Kind of like how the French surrender to everyone that sneezes.

It was quite toasty here too, although not compared to the insane 93° in Corpus!

Port Arthur tied the record high at 80°

Wow!!!!
I was beginning to feel cheated out of any winter weather up here. Shows how selfish I am, I guess.

No, I'm with you 100%. I hate the cold unless it's snowing. I'm not at all happy about the prospect of winter giving us a nice slapping here at the end.

I like 60 and 70 degree weather. But when you are pushing the upper 80's and now the low 90's in FEBRUARY, that's stuff we have about 80% of the rest of the year. A little varity is nice once in awhile.

At least it was dry heat yesterday instead on the humid stuff we have all of the time. :roll:

Yeah, I don't blame you at all for not wanting it to be 93 in February. I know I wouldn't want it either.

THE GOOD NEWS IS DESPITE THE COOLER AIR...THERE IS STILL NO ARCTIC
AIR SOURCE AND THAT SHOULD PRETTY MUCH LOCK UP THE WINTER OF `06 WITHOUT
ANY HARD FREEZES

That was taken from the NWS in Tampa this morning. I believe cold air is coming but to cool down to normal not 90's like you in Texas are experiencing. Lets just close winter and be done with it no more teasing around.

yeah, yet you hardly heard a thing about such a drastic temp. drop being expected on the news last night or in the local NWS forecast discussions. This seems like it was almost a surprise.

It was a suprise to me. I never heard anyone say temps were going to drop like a rock into the 50's. I heard Mario Gomez on Channel 11 say we'd slowly drop into the mid 60's, but that was it.

It was a fun suprise though! :D

It was a fun surprise this morning when it started raining. In all, we got about 0.50" at my house. The NWS and all but 1 TV met said it would not rain. Props to Mr. Troy Dungan for nailing it.
