pffffft! NORTH Texas???? LOL!! You should hear the wind down here! I think the whole state is getting it!

I don't know when this cold weather blew in, but I went out about an hour ago and it was chilly outside! And then wind is incredibly strong! My neighbor's gate lock is broken and I have a feeling I'm either gonna have to go over there and prop something against it or I'm going to hear it all night! :o

LOL, strong gusty winds up in IA as well, and if you think it's cold down there you'd be shell-shocked here!!

It's howling here, too, Duck! Rain is about one
county west of me in front of a huge green
blob on the radar! Temps are supposed to take
a tumble, but, it's still 62°F, at the moment, ahead
of the front.

Quite windy here too...gusts up to 42 mph...and the temperature has dropped to 49°. Brrrrrrrrrrr!

It hasn't made it this far east yet...but I wish it would hurry. It's quite humid outside.

LOL, from the way it happened here, and what I've heard from others, be ready for a temp. shock!!

This cold front is expected to stall out across central Florida on Tuesday. Temperature is currently 69 degrees with a dewpoint in the low (to mid) 60's.

Woke up this morning and my first thought: "Umm....brrrrr?"

Yeah it's pretty darn cold down here today even with full sunshine. The temp is 45 but wind chills in mid 30's brrrrr!!!
