Fourth morning here with cold am low temperatures. Low yesterday at house was 17F again - same as Sunday. Yesterday the gusty winds during the afternoon seemed quite brutal (at least for down here in the desert). The anemometer trace from the roof of the Atmo building gives a feel for the wind - some gusts there above 45 mph, but airport only had gusts around 20 mph (here at house winds were probably around 30 mph for a couple of hours). Temperatures very cold at 6 am this morning: Atmo 22F; DM 20F, TUS 18F and here at house 15F. The low will occur in about 60 to 90 minutes. Considerable plant and cactus damage already in this part of town and probably more today.

Edited to add: Low temperature here this morning ended up at 14F.
