Looking out my viewing portal at the dawn of the last day of the first month of 2011 which has arrived 6 degrees above freezing.
If the weather prognosticators are to be believed this will be the last morning, for awhile, that will not be well below freezing, as we are heading into one of the most significant cold spells in North Texas in many years.
Just in time to greet football fans arriving for Sunday's Super Bowl.
Thunderstorms may be booming later today.
Strong winds will be blasting in Tuesday night, bringing the Big Chill, with the wind chill plunging to below zero.
Yesterday, when I saw all the temporary Super Bowl structures built on the former parking lots that surround the Dallas Cowboy Stadium, the first thing that crossed my mind was what if those things get blasted by a windstorm.
If it gets windy during daylight hours I think I'll go hang out on the Stadium Wal-Mart parking lot to watch what happens live.
In the meantime I am not going swimming this morning.
