Big temperature difference in Texas: A blizzard in the northwestern part of the state and high heat in deep south Texas.

At the 2 pm CT hour, Amarillo, Texas, recorded a temperature of just 19 degrees. Meanwhile, 658.5 miles away to its south, McAllen, Texas is sweltering in the heat with a recorded temperature of 101 degrees. A temperature difference of 82 degrees.

After you do the math, you find that with every 8 miles traveled between the two cities there is a 1 degree temperature change. Amazing!

Very very interesting Stewfox.

I was looking at this story earlier on Weather.com.

I'm amazed at how far south in the season that the blizzard is, with depths of 12 inches expected on a widespread scale.

This certainly must be a rather out of the ordinary weather event.

As for the temperature range, it's fantastic. I pity anyone getting an internal flight from one part of Texas, say from the south to somewhere in the Amarillo region.

They are certainly going to get a taste of a classic switch around in terms of temperature and weather conditions!

I was reading about that as well, couldn't believe places in Texas were recording below 0C maximums at the end of March, seems almost impossible in this country at this time of year!
