Cold on the way!

...THE COLDEST AIR OF THE SEASON IS ON THE WAY...

A BITTER ARCTIC COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO REACH WEST CENTRAL TEXAS LATE TUESDAY AFTERNOON OR DURING THE EVENING. HIGHS ON WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY COULD REMAIN IN THE 20S AND 30S OVER MUCH OF THE AREA WITH NIGHT TIME LOWS IN THE TEENS AND 20S.

IT IS POSSIBLE THAT TEMPERATURES MAINLY ALONG AND NORTH OF A MERTZON TO SAN ANGELO TO BROWNWOOD LINE MAY NOT GO ABOVE FREEZING FROM TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING. WIND CHILL READINGS COULD RANGE IN THE TEENS AND 20S. THE BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES WILL LINGER THROUGH AT LEAST FRIDAY.

TAKE THE TIME TO PREPARE FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF FREEZING TEMPERATURES WITH THESE SAFETY RULES.

KEEP YOURSELF UPDATED ON THE LATEST WEATHER FORECASTS.

ENSURE YOUR HEATING DEVICES ARE CLEAN AND IN GOOD WORKING ORDER.

KEEP ALL COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS AWAY FROM HEATERS.

IN CASE YOU LOSE POWER AT HOME OR BECOME STRANDED ON THE ROAD...BE SURE TO HAVE SOME EXTRA NON-PERISHABLE FOOD AROUND IN BOTH PLACES...A CAN OPENER...EXTRA BLANKETS...BOTTLE WATER...FLASH LIGHT...AND BATTERY POWERED RADIO.

ENSURE ALL EXPOSED PIPES ARE PROPERLY INSULATED.

YOU ARE URGED TO HAVE A CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR TO KEEP YOU AND YOUR FAMILY SAFE THIS WINTER.

TAKE IT EASY OUTSIDE BECAUSE YOUR HEART HAS TO WORK EXTRA HARD DURING THE COLD WEATHER. IT IS A GOOD IDEA TO WEAR LAYERS OF CLOTHING IF YOU HAVE TO BE OUTSIDE.

MAKE SURE YOUR PETS AND LIVESTOCK HAVE PLENTY OF FOOD AND HAVE A WARM PLACE.

Hehe... I love this.... It's going to be 20 low / 51 high on Wednesday and there is a "Severe Weather Warning"
