What, really? In the winter, if a front blows through from the nw, it's going to get cold and wet real fast. Always been like that, no?

It was so hot on Saturday in DFW I had to turn on the air condition in my car.

 

[Chaotic42]

Sounds like here in Saint Louis - Saturday our high is supposed to be 58 and our low 6.

La Nina, she make it all crazy.

 

[WhoBeDaPlaya]

Woke up last Sunday with a horrible headache due to the heater being on overnight!

 

[Svnla]

Same here. Cold now, warmer in weekend and cold again next week. 70s on Saturday and 40s on Sunday. Weird.

Time to clean the vehicle, wash then laundry before next week.

when I lived down in Houston back in the 80's, I don't remember 40 degrees temperature swings up and then down in a 4 day period...

is that normal down there now???

no...usually it gets colder/warmer in 10, maybe 15/20 degree increments over a 24 hour period (like 60 degrees to 45)...but I am pretty sure it has never dropped 30 and then went back up 40 degrees in such a short time span before here....

Meh, I just figure everyone that isn't sick now will be sick by Monday.

Um, this is normal weather for Dallas LOL. Not that it happens every week, but at least a couple times a year it'll do this.

Unfortch you have to mosey on down to the Gulf coast to find 60s temps we were promised today. Looks like a cold air mass over Arkansas is depressing our temps. And we're still locked in with cloud cover so temps might only reach 50.
Still hoping for 70s tomorrow so I can detail my car.

Pretty much. It's been like this for at least 10 years. Before the cold fronts get here warm moist gulf air gets pulled over Houston. So 80 and humid followed by 40's and dryer.

And here we are, apparently worrying about moose licking our vehicles.

 

[Spacehead]

It was 4F this morning & tomorrows high is 45F.

And here we are, apparently worrying about moose licking our vehicles.

So, what was the reason?

 

[Red Squirrel]

So, what was the reason?

Licking road salt off cars lol. not really sure why it was considered a danger though, I guess if you are going out to brush snow off the car in early morning when it's dark and run into a moose that can be dangerous if you startle it lol. And it was actually in Alberta, but it did get me wondering why it's not more common here too, kinda makes sense.

As for the cold, tabarnak it's cold this morning. Only like -17 but feels more like -40. Think I'm just not used to it as it's been a warm winter so far.

 

[Chaotic42]

Going to be 0 tomorrow night. Should be good sleeping outside weather.

 

[stargazr]

The San Antonio forecast says 81 later today, down to 32 tomorrow morning.
