Not looking for whales. Right on schedule, the norther blew in overnight. Warmer so far than what the weasels were predicting, with 63º when I got up at 6:00 this morning. Temperatures will be falling all day, expecting a low in the upper 30s overnight. That's at the coast. Inland, even just a few miles, freezing temperatures are expected. For this area, this is some serious cold. Of course, the local news/weather people feel the need to explain wind chill, as the winds are currently 29 mph out of the northwest, gusting higher.
We prepped for it before going to bed last night. We already had the sun screens rolled up; strapped down the cover on the patio furniture and took down our US flag. That's our equivalence of "battening down the hatches."
Warnings for "A Wintery Mix" of precip overnight. Everybody sing: "Oh, the weather outside is frightful..."
I'll be taking a pass on riding the bicycle or scoot for a few days. Yesterday, I got in four 2-wheel rides: e-bike, Vespa, Xmax, e-scooter (twice).

Watching local news/weather at noon, there is a "Winter Weather Warning" for Brownsville - only the 5th time that has happened. Climate change...
