THE COLDEST NIGHT IN TEXAS HISTORY

COURTESY OF THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN LUBBOCK TX

FEBRUARY 1899 WAS A VERY COLD MONTH...THANKS MOSTLY TO A BITTERLY COLD OUTBREAK FROM THE 11TH THROUGH THE 13TH. IN FACT...NOTHING IN THE HISTORY OF Texas QUITE COMPARES TO FEBRUARY 12TH 1899.

SOME OF THE COLDEST WEATHER THAT EVER HIT Texas OCCURRED ON FEBRUARY 12TH OF THAT YEAR. THE LOWEST TEMPERATE EVER RECORDED IN THE STATE OCCURRED AT TULIA IN SWISHER COUNTY IN THE EXTREME SOUTHERN PANHANDLE. THE THERMOMETER DROPPED TO 23 DEGREES BELOW ZERO. HOWEVER...THERE WERE UNOFFICIAL REPORTS THAT WERE EVEN COLDER...30 DEGREES BELOW ZERO...THAT NIGHT AT TWO OTHER LOCATIONS (WOLF CREEK AND AT A SITE SOUTHEAST OF PERRYTON...BOTH IN OCHILTREE COUNTY IN THE NORTHERN PANHANDLE).

The lowest temperature ever recorded in Texas was -23 degrees, recorded on February 8, 1933 at Seminole.

The layer with the coldest temperatures, reaching around -100°C, is the mesosphere. This atmospheric layer extends from about 50 to 85 kilometers (31 to 53 miles) above the Earth's surface. In the mesosphere, temperatures decrease with altitude, and the coldest temperatures typically occur near the mesopause, the boundary between the mesosphere and the thermosphere.
