Hi Oma,

We're a little over a day behind you. The rains won't get here until late tonight, or early tomorrow morning, and we probably won't see any freezing rain/sleet/snow, until later in the day on Monday.

Be careful - it will probably be pretty bad driving conditions north and west of us.

Love,
Tex

Hi all,

We're not expecting the really cold stuff with sleet, etc., here on the coast until sometime Sunday when the temps will be dropping rapidly.

Incidently, the Houston Marathon race begins early Sunday morning not too far from where I sit right now. Will pay to run faster for more than one reason on Sunday morning! Ha! I think it will be rainy Sunday morning, so fans my not be out in usual nos. Welp, maybe the diehards.

Everyone stay safe and warm, ok? I just hope the freeze is deep enough and long enough to keep down the spring bug population, skeeters included.

Yours, Luce

Winter is upon us

Right now -4. Tomorrows high is predicted to be about 5 with more snow. BRRRrrr

My new hobby is listening to dollar bills go up the chimney every time the heat comes on.

Stay warm.

Matthew,

It looks like I was wrong. As you say, winter is definitely upon us. This morning our forecast has been drastically changed. First we are having a flash flood problem through tomorrow, (the thunderstorms just keep lining up in the same places), and the icing will start tonight, and continue until Wednesday.

This kind of weather sucks, especially in this part of Texas. I was hoping that you guys would keep this kind of weather north of Texas, where it belongs. LOL.

I'm just glad that it's not as cold as it is in Colorado. I'm also glad that we have a full propane tank, because the power lines may start going down tomorrow, if the forecasts are correct.

I hope everyone can stay warm and safe.

Tex

Take care, Wayne

I´ve read that parts of Texas have problems, as some flights had to be cancelled.

Take care, my friend.

Love, Tessa

Hi Tessa,

Thanks for your concern. It's just getting started here. According to the forecast, we have about 4 days of this ahead of us. Our biggest problem right now, in the central part of Texas, is flooding. The ice storm will arrive here, sometime tonight. It's still above freezing right now, but it's raining cats and dogs, (that's an old saying, which means that it's really flooding). We're getting set up for a lot of ice, the way things are headed.

Love,
Tex

Hope you all can hunker down and not have to go anywhere in the next few days. Sounds bad. I hate ICE.

Keep us posted.

Mornin'!

Stay safe from the ice and snow, good buddies. They sure can be a nuisance. Not to mention expensive, as Matthew pointed out.

As for me, we're still enjoying weather in the 60s for the next few days. Unheard of for these parts! Yesterday I ran on the trail in shorts and a tee shirt and let my dog go swimming in the river. (Normally the temp would be in the 30s and we would have had snow (what's that?) by Jan. 6th). I'm enjoying it while it lasts!

Love,

Polly
