Warm

I wish I'd seen this thread back in August, when it was still easily breaking 120 every day at Balad, and I coulda laughed at the silly Texans and their delusions of toughness (j/k, Jar!) Lately, it's been a high in the 50s and a low in the 30s. The whole country froze overnight (barely) a couple of times last week, but this week has warmed up a little.Mississippi is about the same, from what I hear, but more humid.

Guessing from the 95% humidity comment back there, near the coast somewhere, maybe? The further north and west you go, the less likely that is....

I'm gonna have to pull a Cornholio on you:ARE YOU THREATENING ME?!?!With any luck I'll get out of here before the real winter rains come. We've had two or three days of sprinkles and it was horrendous - it became a world of gluey mud after a fraction of an inch fell. I can't even imagine what real rain does here.(edit: LOL...

West Texas is effin' harsh. It doesn't have quite the biggest extremes of temperatures possible, but it's pretty damn close. Then you throw in all the other factors - storms, mesquite, sheer isolation from any kind of help when you need it, and it's just damn inhospitable. Everything about the place seems designed to make life hard.
