An arctic airmass infiltrated the region early on Sunday, January 5th with falling temperatures and strong northwest winds. Temperatures fell through much of the day on January 5th behind the front with winds approaching 30 mph at times, making it feel much colder with very cold wind chills. Skies cleared the evening of the 5th but the strong northwest winds continued with wind chill values near zero to ten degrees above zero witnessed the night of the 5th. Low temperatures the morning of the 6th and the morning of the 7th were some of the coldest temperatures Northeast Texas  had seen since February 3 through the 5th of 1996.
