Yesterday at 6 pm, 75 degrees, sunny, rolling with the top down

Less than 12 hours later 40 degree temp change, rain, 45 mpg wind gusts, snow and even lower temps expected in the next few hours

As the saying in Texas goes: If you don't like the weather, wait a few minutes it's sure to change.

This will undoubtedly affect a lot of travelers. So, if you're traveling be safe and I hope you packed your patience.

What's going on with the weather in your neck of the woods this Xmas Eve???

snow, snow and more snow.

I made it to my brother's. Awfully early, but I'm here.

Now here's hoping I'm not stuck here till Saturday.

Our local weather folks were saying blizzard for Minnie. Is that what you're hearing?

Here, snow on Xmas Eve or day has a less than 5% likelihood so this is a trip. I've lived in Texas almost 30 years and don't think I've ever seen it. It's gonna be sunny but cold (40s) tomorrow. But the rapid change from yesterday is fuckin' crazy

upper 60's today...rain moving in this afternoon...70's & rain tomorrow...

I've been going back and forth with my coat for weeks. They say we'll have once inch of snow this afternoon.

*runs to convert to Fahrenheit*

20C, 68F

Better than stinking hot yesterday!!! (28C, 83F)

Heavy rain expected from 1 to 2 inches from now (11:00 am CST) until noon tomorrow on Christmas Day when it changes over to light snow. This after we had an ice storm which left quarter to half inch thick sheets of ice on the ground, streets, and sidewalks. Now we have to worry about the rain melting heavy snow and ice which has already fallen which could cause flash flooding.

It should be a high of 63 today, sunny and clear. But I am still considering this sweater season.

sunny highs in the low 60s
lows in the high 40s

There will be blizzard conditions at times, yes. So far it's probably not as bad as they thought. We're getting, like 3-4 waves of 4-6 inches each.

It's sunny with a high of 35 degrees. It's practically warm in comparison to a week ago

Itsa Bizzard out there I am not going anywhere and I don't mind I don't mind

We have high winds and freezing rain...wind so bad, knocked my fence over. UGH!

57°F clear skies, sun is shinning

We got your yesterday weather today.

It's absolutely horrible. It was warm yesterday and this morning. Now it's pouring down raining with wind gusts up to 45 miles an hour. A little while ago, I heard a loud cracking sound that sounded like a tree but I don't see one down anywhere. There have been tornado warnings all morning long. And after all this is over, it's supposed to get freezing cold.

83 degrees F
Warm. Breezy.
No rain for days.

Yep, me too. Summer is evil. We get really bad bushfires around here so when we get a day that's anywhere near 40C everybody starts freaking out and hosing their houses down.

I remember one Christmas about 15 years ago when the whole city was surrounded by bushfires. It was 43C and because of the fires and the smoke in the air the sky was RED all day. So creepily post-apocalyptic.

Let's move to Iceland!!!!

The Weather Report in my neck of the woods is the group's former drummer Chester Thompson.




He's a beast.

46°F | 8°C
Current: Clear
Wind: N at 1 mph
Humidity: 84%

48

Now, we're dealing with an arctic blast, coldest temps in 15 years

Current temps in the 20s but it will be in the teens for the next 2 mornings and windchills will be around 0. We won't be above freezing until NEXT Tuesday!

Really, WTF is this???

On Thursday and Friday, temperatures are expected to be between 28 and 13 degrees and the wind chill could dip below zero. At 6 a.m., wind chills across DFW varied from 7 to 14 degrees. On Friday morning, wind chills have the potential to range from -1 to -9 degrees. A winter chill advisory is in effect until 10 a.m. Friday.

We've been in deep freeze mode up here too, but it's finally warming up a bit. It's 8 degrees currently (wind chill -11) and it's the warmest morning in about a week.

We're supposed to get back up into the 20's next week, though.

But, you guys are used to this shit. Last year this time we were in the 70s/80s

We had very little precip overnight but we've had tons of accidents, highway and school closures. I'm just blessed that I don't have to leave the house to work and can roll over and go back to sleep.
