The big chill
By dtewes in Sky Watch
January 12, 2009

   Did anyone get up early enough this morning to see the South Texas snow, also known as frost?
   I could see it even before the sun rose, thanks to that very bright moon.
   The National Weather Service was predicting a low this morning of about 30 degrees. I think they blew that one.
   The temperature dropped to 25 degrees at the Victoria Regional Airport, which is where the weather service records the official temperature. I had 26 degrees at my house at 6:30 and it could have dropped another degree or so after that.
   Get ready for another freeze Tuesday. They’re forecasting a low of about 30 degrees.
   Anyone else have a temperature report from this morning?

    Thanks for the weather/sky watch info. Up here in Lavaca County at 8:00 a.m., we had plenty frost in the pastures, and my car thermometer showed 28 degrees.  I know the weather man out of San Antonio didn't expect this either.

    Yeah, I was up in time to see the frost [and the moon], but way earlier than 630. Thanks Sandman for bringing my kiddo yet another nightmare and ruining her sleep and mine.

    Hub saw the frost, woke me up to say so, and we both saw the moon. Thanks,
