Is winter here yet?

   What a wild swing in the weather.
   Victoria’s temperature peaked at a balmy 84 degrees about 4 p.m. Tuesday, tying the record high for the date set in 1939.
   About 12 hours later the temperature dipped to a chilly 36 degrees, a drop of 48 degrees. Sleet fell at the Victoria Regional Airport and snow was reported as close as La Grange.
   Brace for tonight.
   A hard freeze is in the forecast as the temperature falls into the mid-20s at Victoria. Freezing temperatures are expected to last for more than six hours.
   Well, at least we won’t have to worry about mowing the grass for a while.
