Hi there!
We had here in Switzerland quite strong winds last night. Apparently it was another cold front passing over our heads.
This is how my Davis station recorded a new record gust at 70.2 km/h at around midnight.
The graphs show the characteristics of a cold front: temperature decreasing and pressure increasing.

The month of December is interesting from a pressure point of view as well: it has been below 1000 hPa 5 days out 15 !

Indeed much more things are happening this month of December 2017 than the previous years !!!

That's cool! Classic cold front signature. Do you also see a shift in wind direction, or does topography have a large effect at your location?

Hi Jon,
No real shift, because of the topography. It can happen, but not this time.
I have visited your site. Always intersting to have a look at other places climate. Pretty dry during the summer period, I see.
Cheers
