*“A ‘blue norther’ is a fast-moving cold front, most famously associated with Texas, that causes a sudden and dramatic drop in temperature, often accompanied by strong winds, dark skies, and sometimes precipitation. The name ‘blue norther’ has several folk explanations: the blue-black clouds that precede the front; the clear, deep blue skies that follow once the front passes; and the idea that people ‘turn blue’ from the sudden cold.” (Source: Wikipedia.com)

Once such Blue Norther blew through our part of Texas yesterday; today, is more than a little chilly.
