This storm moving through is nuts. In Denver it dropped 24 degrees in 7 minutes. In Wyoming, 43 degrees in one hour. Just hoping this flash freeze followed by heavy winds doesn't cause widespread power outages for days.

Even here in desert-adjacent Austin, we dropped from 60 to 34 during lunchtime, and windchills could hit -5 tonight. I could have stayed in the midwest if I wanted this [expletive].

It sucks now, but when it gets above zero we'll all be out in Bermuda shorts and flip flops.

I have a four year streak of never turning on a heater in the state of Florida. I will not be broken by this cold front. I swear to each and every one of you, my heater will not get turned on. If I do, I will renounce my midwestern heritage.

I can see the headline now:
"Florida Man Admitted to Hospital with Frostbite, Refused to Use Furnace"
And then we'd have to post that in the Florida Man thread.

4 degrees here in Huntsville, Al but everything is dry and the sun is out. We dodged the worst of it for sure. It's just going to be cold the next three days is all.

It was -13 with a 40mph wind when I went out to check on things this morning. Needless to say I didn't stay outside long .
