Must have been the wind that caused your brief power outage?

21°F and still tanking. TG no power outages. Fortunately, no ice on the power lines.
NNW 22 G36 we should be able to handle it - fingers crossed.

21 already? Wow. This is one powerful front.
@sambucol - yeah, I think a tree hit something but they re-routed after about 15 mins. Supposedly there is a lot of redundancy in the system now but that is a domain I don’t know much about.

Yeah, trees can be a problem in this wind. It's a good thing the trees are shorter in College Station than the Houston area.

That’s where the low is going so it would make sense to pull in the coldest anomalies along with it. Stupid SW/Baja ridge. Could’ve had a white Christmas.

That’s why snow down here is so hard. It takes it all to come together.
On a side note, no such thing as wasted cold. This state sucks, weather wise, 6 months out of the year.

This will likely be the 3rd coldest night in CLL in 30 years and the coldest without snow cover.
5°F - 2021
9°F - 2021
14°F - about 2016? I'd have to look it up. Nights below 20°F in CLL are Rare, indeed. It's often a couple of degrees colder in Conroe and MoCo than here.

I’ve seen Conroe 10°F colder than places just a few miles from there lol it’s wild!

So, the isobars will tell you were the cold air went first.
Then the wrap-around from Eliott's bombogenesis or whatever the **** TWC is calling it will pull the cold air into Kentucky...
