Here comes winter!

Don't be like THOSE people. You know, the ones you see running to their car in their t-shirts when the wind chill is 20 degrees. But especially don't be like me. You know, just like me in general. Here's the deal though...don't say we didn't warn ya. Above you see the APPROXIMATE times of today's cold front passage. It will march right on through the state and bring us right back to winter, but before it gets to central OK and into the SE, we're gonna see highs warm up into the 60s and 70s.

Winter officially begins for weather types on Dec. 1, but of course we've already been in winter for some time now by weather "type." But we get these respites that we're so accustomed to, then this happens. So be prepared for a bone-chilling morning tomorrow with wind chills in the single-digits to the teens.

Winds are really gonna kick up across eastern OK, so keep your parkas pinned down (I have no idea what that means, just sounded good).

Here's the kicker: in the time it took me to write this saw the front either pass you or get closer to you, so go ahead and dread!
