30 for Christmas night and freezing again the next. 
I HATE WINTER!
Don't forget the liquor. 
Leaves are falling like crazy now, all cleaned up this AM, can't tell it now. They were supposed to have fallen already. 
Heard Dallas got the heavy rains around noon that we're expecting tonight.
We had rain all day long yesterday. Nothing heavy, just a nice long soaking rain. Was freezing outside, but we desparately needed the rain. At least it wasn't the snow we had last year.
Gonna be chilly for a while now.
Thanks for sending that rain and cold to Houston. I was looking at photos from last year and we had snow on Dec. 5th! I HATE WINTER!
AND WINTER HATES US! 
We only got about 1-2" of snow last night but light snows supposed to continue for next 48 hours. Hasn't been above freezing for 18 days.
Sure not looking forward to traveling the roads today with a 60 mile round trip to my brothers. Also have to pick daughter/grandson up at the airport in the wee hours of tomorrow morning. And have seen where there have been major flight delays about everywhere. Well, it will be worth it.
Got my 1st unexpected Christmas present today and aren't lady bugs supposed to be lucky? Had a glass of juice sitting down for an hour, took a big drink, and had a live lady beetle stuck clear in the back of my throat. Barely got it spit out before going down. Yuk!

Looks like many in the South (Texas doesn't consider itself part of that) will be getting a rare white Christmas. Guess they're just thrilled! I don't understand why some enjoy snow.
Freeze tonight, but in the 40's tomorrow night.
Be careful driving in that snow, Uni!
We picked up about 5 inches of "lake effect" snow last night with another inch possible this morning. I was planning a nice quiet day on the couch doing nothing but watching football, now it looks like I'll be out shoveling snow.
They're saying a big storm is possible for the New Year's holiday and into next weekend, it's supposed to be near 50 with rain here on Friday, stay tuned.
Its COLD!!!!!!
Around 29˚ on the 26th and was only 34 at 11A!
28˚ now and it only took a 5 min. drive from 45˚ in the garage. I HATE WINTER!
Looks REALLY bad back East!

I think that "rain and about 50" on New Years Eve is what is forecast everywhere. Same in Indy. My dad in North Carolina said that is what his forecast is also. They got 2" of snow and highs in the 30's. He is only 9 miles from the SC border. We missed out on this past Friday night's snow - got about 2" ourselves. The western part of Indiana got triple that.
I saw on the news they were getting thunder during the snow! What? For us snow-challenged folk.
I heard they are NOT planning on cancelling New Year's Eve though! Go, NYC!
Yeah, we're also headed for a warm up at the end of this week. Seems like we haven't seen temps in the 50's for a month and a half. New Year's Eve/Day should be a real mud hole with the rain and melting snow.
Thursday looks weird - "Ice Pellets"??? I've heard of sleet, hail, freezing rain but not necessarily ice pellets. Do you use salt pellets to melt ice pellets?
Well looked it up and it turns out ice pellets are the same as sleet. You would think weatherunderground.com would use the same weather terms as the USNWS.

Maybe it's a new, politically-correct term for sleet?
Warmer with rain, but I'll take it!

You could be right Spd. "Sleet" always did seem for like a strange term for little tiny balls of ice.

Usually happens when there is a tremendous snow or sleet storm going on. You don't normally see it when it is snowing the light, fluffy stuff but you see it often during heavy snow storms when the snow is heavy and wet and / or mixing with sleet. It has to do with warm air aloft, mixing with the colder air mass.
