Ain't nothing like hitting Raton and getting the excitement for the pass thinking "I finally made it!"...then the next thing you know you're in Pueblo wondering what went wrong in life.

After tonight, you're going to fucking forget that Austin even has a summer.  For at least 10 days.  It's going to be a cold shot up your ass.  Jackets definitely in for the next 2 days, after that it's going to be chilly in mornings, not much above 50° until at least Thursday when it climbs to 60°.  Then another cool shot on Saturday.  Heat index will be in the 40's.    Which I'm sure some will complain about.. too damn cold, when's summer?????????????

My wife, having taught for many years in Austin, refers to it as “that time of year when kids show up to school wearing shorts in 50-degree weather because their parents weren’t paying attention to the news, and just assumed that because it was 85 on Sunday, it would be 85 on Tuesday. “

I wish we had this kind of variety during the summer.  October-December in Austin is a wild ride.  30 degree variants from day to day.  In August, the high is always between 95-105.  Everyday with no fluctuation that is easily discernible to the human body.

According to both outside and weather.com, apparently the front is now not getting here until 4:00a or so.  

The Revolution has been postponed.  I mean, it's barely dropping andthe normal low for this date is 60 degrees and we won't get below that until after 4:00a.  So overnight is going to be largely the same it seems.  Wakeup temps are still going to be 54 degrees.  Cooler to be sure, but not the polar vortex they promised us.  But yeah, rain kicking on right for morning commute---that part will suck eggs.  And temps dropping fast throughout the day.  Looks like a soft freeze in some low lying hill country spots on Monday night.  Certainly a cold front by any measure, just not quite as nasty as they made it to be. 

Went outside just now to take trash out, and got another big mosquito bite.  I laughed it off and told it to tell her family that everything they know...is at an end.  The Yukon Front is coming, and hell's coming with it...

Keep in mind the average high for winter in Austin is about 62°.
Welcome to winter.

And it ain't going anywhere for most of the week.  Won't be above our winter average until maybe Friday.

This is a pretty strong cold front for any time of the year, period.

Still pretty goddamn muggy here in the Htown area.  I'm ready.

Check back again on your lunch break. Felt like the front started arriving in town sometime between when I pulled out of my driveway and arrived at work. Strong gusts of much cooler air were whipping around the office parking lot.

my first two apartments in austin had central heat/cooling, so days like this i'd go to class in the morning with the thermostat set to cool, and come back in the evening with it trying to cool the apartment with warm air.  really fucking annoying.

Next week looks about perfect, except for the continued precip.  But 70 for a high, 55 for a low.  Good fishing, good camping.  And holy shit balls, I bet Lost Maples is gonna be gorgeous in about 2-3 weeks.  Just spot on perfect.  Can't wait to take the family down there. .
