IT IS THE COLDEST OCTOBER MORNING SINCE 1993 AT DFW

After an Arctic cold front blasted through the area early yesterday morning, it has been downright cold around DFW. This morning the temperature dropped to 34°F officially at DFW Airport. This makes this the coldest October morning since October 31, 1993 when the mercury hit 29°F with, believe it or not, a few snow flurries during that cold air outbreak. It also is the coldest we have been at DFW since January 27th of this year. Last year was the hottest winter on record for DFW, even though the coldest temperature of the winter did get to 14°F on January 7th.
