Had to pick myself up off the floor when I read this!!! As I posted in the Winter Weather forum, this is about a month early for the Houston area. We usually on average do not see a freeze before December 12th or thereabouts. I'm shivering just thinking about it.

And sweating like crazy yesterday with record or near record highs! Crazy weather...

I cant believe there is a freeze for tonight! I just had on the A/C yesterday, and I havent even thought about turning on my heater! Talk about extreme weather!! I might have to crank up the heater... maybe... It hasnt got over 57 degrees here today and yesterday was 88.. What a change! Everyone keep warm!!

Congrats up in the Houston area. We're going to be close this time around. Maybe some frost, but not a freeze. I think by Christmas we'll have more than one.

Bring it on!

Freeze warning also for the Dallas/Ft. Worth area tonight as well.

Supposed to get down to 33 here in Lafayette. Wouldn't be surprised if it hit 32 here at my house. The freeze does seem early considering it's been coming so late every year. It's especially interesting because we transitioned between near record highs to much below normal in one day. The low temperature is forecasted to be 40 or below for the next 8 days. In January, the coldest time of the year, our average low is only 42. From summer to winter folks, ah Louisiana!

Pretty strong front id say.

Definately. I wonder if this is just a precursor to what's heading our way the rest of the winter season. Last year we had snow on Christmas Day in south Louisiana. I really don't think this year could beat that, but I sure hope to see the white stuff again!

Yep... same deal here(although this is about normal for us). We're barely going to top 50 today!!! Probably will be even colder tonight and it looks like it'll be cold through at least the end of the month.

Wow, I hope your're prepared for lows between 29 and 36

It's 37.9 at almost 3am with still occasionally howling winds... don't think we're going to make it tonight, but the wind chills are TERRIBLE.

A gradual chill woulda been nice. Brrrrrr.....

Whose idea was it to built these Galveston homes up on stilts and then not put anything underneath our feet but wood floors??? I mean, nothing but wood, then cold air blowing underneath. It's kinda like how a bridge freezes before a road does because of the cold air circulating all around.

I'm gonna get carpet.

Brrrrrfreakingrrrrrrrrr!

Pretty freakin' cold here in Baton Rouge this morning! 34 degrees out right now. Exciting!

In the city we did not make the freezing mark but many of the suburbs to the N and W were at 30º or so.

Wow that is cold.

Last I looked last night the temp was 36 and that was around 3 am.... It was cold! I dont care if it got to freezing or below freezing its all the same, COLD! I had to break down and turn on my heater last night! I am going to make a note, "turned on the heater on Nov 17." lol....

I don't know what the official temp was but the low about 7 miles to my south was 33.7°
BRRR!!

it hit 32 at my house in Spring, TX with frost covering my back lawn.

out here the rural area where i live it was 17 degrees in the city proper it was 25
