Interesting meteorological fact:
On Nov. 11, 1911, Oklahoma City reached a high of 83 degrees early in the day (a record high) and then dropped late in the day to 17 degrees (a record low), because of a massive Arctic air mass moving in. A temperature differential of 66 degrees, in one day.
I do not think I would like to see that happen.

As you might expect, this pattern held in many other towns in the region - but over the years, those records, either high or low, were eventually broken. The OKC record alone remains intact today.
It is, inevitably, more interesting for having happened on 11/11/11.
This is a test to see if my e-mail is totally hosed or not. Stupid computer.
Be glad you don't live in California -- in the summer, we routinely get a 40-degree swing between day and night temperatures (because the air is so dry). One can practically get whiplash from the change ;)
(The advantage, of course, is that even when it's over 100 during the day it's rarely too hot to sleep.)
