73 degrees on the 23rd in Houston? No thanks!
It’s late with the front. It’ll probably come in faster than that.
You can count on Siberian air overperforming.

I can put more clothes on during winter but I can only take so much off during summer lol
5°F and between NG fireplace, NG water heater, NG stove and space heaters and a warm slab underneath - it's amazing how you can heat a house into the 60s pretty easily, even with rolling blackouts, and a couple prolonged blackouts. I kept the fireplace and stove cranking, which don't need electricity.

I really should borrow $5K for a generator, though.
They’re 8K plus now. Thanks global governments :)

It won’t be 73. It’s creating a subsidence inversion.

And that’s at 7 am. Next frame it plows through Houston. My guess is it’s in the 40s or 50s when it comes in.

That’s winter porn. Straight up, that is a Texas resident winter lover’s perfect map. Long duration event unfolding there.

Current dew point is 73° in mid December. That’s crazy in its own right.

That, coupled with the wind and turning will cause mischief today

Yeah, the models have been taking the center initially too far east. Siberian air will roll down the eastern slope of the Rockies before sliding east.
