Nope, that isn't a basketball game score, it is the temperature drop since yesterday afternoon - 33 degrees.  I love this time of year in Central Texas.  One never really knows what the weather will be like in October - or any of our fall and winter months.  I remember a weekend in February around 10 years ago when it was 99 degrees one Saturday.  The next Saturday we had ice everywhere.  Halloween can be tricky on the little trick-or-treaters as well.  I remember Halloweens when the kids did nothing but sweat in their costumes.  I also remember a Halloween when it must have been 40 degrees and the wind was howling more than the ghosts!

But the temperature swings certainly aren't limited to Austin.  I'm sure this kind of thing happens all over the place.  When I was a kid living outside of Fairbanks, Alaska, we had a drop from around 33 degrees to minus 40 in one 24 hour period.
