Bitter cold temps heading our way?

[Sirhornsalot]

Was reading somewhere today that the weather bloggers are saying another extreme cold streak is coming, supposedly around the time of the Super Bowl. Temperatures in the DFW area to be around between 0 and 5 degrees.

Did not say whether or not any precip would be associated with it.

Anyone hear anything about this? Where's Teco?

50 degrees below normal temps?

I know it's hot here in Texas but damn it, I'm ready for it to be hot again. This has been the earliest and coldest winter that I can remember for some time. We haven't had any good ice storms in the houston area though. I can do Upper 30's at night, upper 60's in the afternoon. But waking up to 19 degrees like I did two weeks ago... nope, that's why I live in Texas.

Maybe it is global warming?

Well that stinks, The Alumni Baseball game is on the 1st of February...

Yikes!

Could be a stellar recruiting pitch for us against Ohio State and the like: "when it's cold here it usually stays above zero. In the Midwest it's about to be -30."

Awesome just the motivation I need to get the construction mess in my garage cleaned out so I can get my car back in.

Shrinkage!

That would be crazy. If it comes with precipitation, we'll have a ton of closures in the DFW area.

Sirhorns,

Heard anything new on this? Looks like this was supposed to hit next week, going off the graphic.

Back in July and August when it was 105 everyday, I told myself I would not bitch about any cold weather. I am having to bite my lip now not to say anything.

This has got to get over now. Enough is enough......did I do this right.

I don't want to hear the complaining

Oh yeah, you guys have had it rough again this year. Brutally cold up there. No thanks.

Sirhorns,

Those ingredients did not come together as first predicted. What is happening now in Austin and Central/South Texas is the result. The coldest section of air of course went further east and we're now getting reinforcing cold air and the only moisture to be found is in Central and South Texas - coming from both the Gulf and the Pacific. Points north of say Temple are going to stay dry but very cold.

We're supposed to get another arctic blast next week, we'll see how that comes together.

It will sure be interesting to see if that East Coast cold grip stays intact for the Super Bowl. NYC has a foot of snow right now and very cold. Temps are not going to go above freezing there for several days.

I'm about to go start a fire in the fireplace now.

It's still freaking cold!

I don't like the bitter cold days but I cannot stand the 100 degree stuff for months on end. Gets old in a hurry.
