Yes, 85 degrees in Cozumel, getting off the plane to 24 below was quite a dramatic change. At times I wonder why we live here. And then summer comes along and we are reminded.

After spending my entire life living in the northeast, I am enjoying my first (and hopefully last) Georgia winter. Mid 70s yesterday, today in the 50s. My down parka is in storage where it belongs. Love not being cold.

2/12/1899: Arctic cold stiffens Tulia
On this day in 1899, Tulia, Texas, reported the coldest temperature ever recorded in the state--minus 23 degrees Fahrenheit. This was part of the "Big Freeze," an infamous norther that killed 40,000 cattle across the state overnight. This temperature was matched in Seminole in 1933. The highest temperature recorded for Texas was 120.

Beef producers rely on cattle to aid in their own demise by moving themselves around. Harvesting 40,000 dead animals out in fields somewhere in a timely manner would be extremely difficult to impossible even today. I suspect that, as Don suggested, the opposite happened.
BTW, Wunderground has revised its predicted low temperature in Austin Monday night upward from 3 degrees F to 9 degrees F. Break out the shorts and Tshirts.
