Nice find!

While those lows in Lubbock are impressive, probably moreso would be the swing that palm saw. It can go from mid summer heat to arctic(zonal low) and vice versa in about 20 minutes there.  

Actually hours.... literally. 

Worked a week in Lubbock every month for quite a few years. Extreme is the word!

That is pretty cool. I’ve never seen palms of any kind in Lubbock while I was there. These are all over in Midland/Odessa about 100 miles away. It’s amazing how different the climate is between the two areas.
