Hey, at least Mother Nature didn't break up with us, then we'd REALLY be feeling
it. And while I just gave you an earworm for the rest of the day, be glad it
wasn't "Skyfall."

The real irony is that by the time you've read this, you're probably already on
the backside of that cold front, so if you're outside YOUR backside is probably
cold. Don't worry, this little taste of winter won't last long. Winds are raging
from the north behind the front, so keep hold of your hair, for those that still
have it.

Sure, laugh it up...I guess that's revenge for the earworm.

Highs will manage to struggle back into the 50s behind the front, whilst those
ahead bask in the 70s (and maybe an 80 or two). Then we go on a bouncy ride for
the next week in the 50s and 60s. Make no mistake, however, the Milky Way is a
vastly underappreciated candy bar...but also it's gonna get downright January-ish
tomorrow morning and the next.





Now, when's it gonna snow? Snow? You serious? Snow? When is ANY moisture gonna
fall again? Next 7 days look pretty bleak for all but the far far far east
side of Oklahoma. Let's call it "Arkansas."



We did have a tease or two about a possible snow event next week straddling
Thanksgiving, but that fizzled out pretty quickly in the latest forecast
model runs. But it was fun while it lasted.

Hey, go easy on me. *I* didn't forecast it.
