This has been the coldest fall I remember in Central Texas. I can remember Christmas eves and days in the 70s. Not this year. But, after a bitterly cold New Year’s Day, according to LCRA meteorologist Bob Rose, we could be in for a nice change:
"Most recent long-range data indicates the month of January will be unseasonably mild and generally dry," Bob reports in his latest forecast, for which there is, alas, no permalink.
Sounds wonderful. If I wanted to have a cold winter, after all, I would move where the winters are cold.

Don’t hold your breath. There will be a big warmup, but I think it will only last one to two weeks. More cold and stormy conditions should follow.

I hope you’re wrong, Alan, though I know you’ve been right more often than not.
