Temperatures in far southeast Nebraska, ahead of the cold front: lower 50s. Temperatures in North Dakota, behind the cold front: below zero.
That is the same cold front that is going to barrel through our neck of the woods tomorrow night. It's certainly within the realm of possibility that we'll experience a 20° drop in temperature in the course of a couple hours. The good news is that most of the precipitation will have ended by the time the arctic airmass gets entrenched, so any snow/sleet/ice accumulations will be minimal. However, all the slush and water that's developed because of our warmth will rapidly freeze, creating hazardous conditions on unclear roads, sidewalks, etc.
Monday will be a shock to many people who are spending this weekend outdoors. We'll be going from temperatures near 50° to windchills likely below zero. Do not be caught off-guard on Monday!

Bah, Humbug.
Is it almost Spring yet?
Right now, our snow is almost history in our yard. But based on the forecasts, I have a feeling that will all be replaced this week.
If it's not raining about 7pm, I might go outside and see how cold it turns once the front passes by. I just heard in kansas city, the temp dropped 15 degrees in 5 minutes.
