29 here in Pine, LA........... Bogalusa 31, Franklinton 32
looking for a low of about 23, but I think we may make it to around 21. BRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!

[Sean in New Orleans]

Well, as of 9:00, it's freezing in Slidell (suburban New Orleans)...I think they'll be at or below freezing for 12 hours...it's winter time in the South!

[LAwxrgal]

33 degrees at 10:42 PM in Reserve. They forecast our low to be 31, I expect the temp to go down at least a couple more degrees, about 28 or 27.

So do I...temperatures have been dropping at a more rapid pace in the last couple of hours...Central and Northern Louisiana are already in the mid 20's right now...as winds decrease in S. Louisiana the temperature will plummet, IMO...It's already in the upper 20's in many areas of St. Tammany Parish.

Freezing right now in Reserve as of 11:30.

Suppose to have another front coming through early next week - they said colder than this one. Oh, well, I guess it makes it feel like Christmas!!!

[Wpwxguy]

Recorded a low of 20 degrees this morning in rural Washington Parish. We're in the middle of no where up here. Hate to see what next weeks front brings, as it is advertized to be even stronger!

NOT THE BEST NIGHT TO LOSE POWER

On the coldest night so far of the season, some people on the North Shore were without power for a few hours last night.

Ann Jenkins with CLECO says an equipment problem in Mandeville shortly after midnight cut off electricity, but their crews restored most of it in short order: “The guys went out and did what we call switching, and got most of the customers back on by 3:00, and the five that remained without power were back on by 6:00 a.m.”

[Wpwxguy]

We also had power problems last night.. Entergy in Washington parish had many customers without power. Ours went off at 1:00 am and did not come back on until 7:20 this morning. Luckily we have gas heat.....

[LAwxrgal]

Yikes!

[LaBreeze]

What's the latest on the week of Christmas for Louisiana? Any changes - colder or warmer? Is the stronger arctic blast still predicted to be arriving?

[sunny]

From what I heard this morning - it will be a cold Christmas!

[LaBreeze]

How cold are you hearing sunny? It was 24 at my house this morning - cold enough for me.

[sunny]

24 - that hibernating weather!! According to Channel 4 - the pattern has been set for the next couple of weeks for lows in the low 30's, highs in the 40s or 50s!!

[LAwxrgal]

Exactly HOW cold? Are we talking cold enough for....

[sunny]

Don't think it will be THAT cold!! BUT they did say what is coming next week will be colder than what we had this week...

[PTrackerLA]

Well we hit 26 here this morning. Looks like it will get colder Sunday night and Monday.
