Temperatures across parts of Texas will nosedive this week, from balmy highs Wednesday in the 70s and 80s to below freezing Thursday night into Friday, with the chance of a wintry mix.
“75 to 35 sounds like a car manufacturer’s braking power, but the numbers are not in miles per hour: It’s the range of temperatures in Houston over the next few days,” said meteorologist Chad Myers.
And it’s not just the Lone Star State headed for a Texas-size cold plunge. An extended cold front will stretch from the southern tip of that state to the northern edge of Maine, with temperatures behind it dropping well below average across the eastern half of the United States.
A quick burst of wintry precipitation could arrive along the front, including in parts of Southern states and the Mid-Atlantic socked this week by a winter storm.
“This storm and Arctic plunge are unusual for even January on how far south the cold air will push and produce winter precipitation,” said meteorologist Dave Hennen.

Looks like Vistra is the latest name for TXU formerly known as Texas Power and Light.
Hopefully the Blog Cops won’t be affected. Well...

It’s interesting that the storm track has been pounding the mid-Atlantic states the last few weeks.
Not that I’m complaining, mind you. We have enough snow on the ground, thankyouverymuch, but the temperatures have been brutal. Lots of below zero nights.
