Re: Frozen Ex'es in Texas
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....

Well, you must not have visited West Texas. But I'm down in the Valley, along the Rio Grande.

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.

I promise, I WILL NOT!
I promise not to post about the latter day apocalyptic weather stuff slated for our "latter days" in this thread. I absolutely will not, EVEN IF SOMEBODY BRIBES ME TO DO IT. IT'S A PROMISE. I WILL NOT!!
Btw, did I hear it the forcast for last night at Grand Junction, Colo correctly? MINUS 28 DEGREES?? Grand Junction is quite far south. That must be a record.

The immeasurable present is forever consuming the eternal future and extending the infinite past. buz

This gave me a good laugh; in my part of town, "autumn" is generally the night between the day when it's 90 degrees and the day when it's 25 degrees; and that's just during the transition, ignoring the more extreme mid-summer or mid-winter days. Happened just this week on Monday night/Tuesday morning.
Also feel similar to Nosy's message about 18 degrees Celcius - having lived in NJ before Texas (and having been pretty resistant to the cold there in the first place), it's amazing to me how easily everyone here seems to get cold.

Re: Frozen Ex'es in Texas
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.

very warm for late January in SE MI
It's 40 degrees today and is supposed to go up to 47 tomorrow.
Overall we've had a very mild winter.

Very nice in Vicksburg, but it shouldn't be
I've run my car's AC several times this year, but since most of my apartment is underground I haven't needed it indoors yet. The soil temperature would have to go up quite a bit; even though it's in the mid 60s outside I've still got a small heater going.
Gonna be 75 here on Sunday, under sunny skies. That'll be something for January. Worries me, though.

Re: Very nice in Vicksburg, but it shouldn't be
It's raining here (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) and the first day in a couple of weeks that it hasn't hit 70F. Yesterday's little rain was the first since early November or maybe late October.

Another winter - aka Cold
The current homestead. Note the firewood pile at right front.
Currently about -12 F, -24 C. I presume it will be getting colder later.

Re: Another winter - aka Cold
It's a "chilly" 22 C (72 F) today. It's been raining for three solid days, so the temp has dropped to what we consider "ice age" levels. Although still sitting around in shorts, I'm wearing a sweatshirt. I guess it depends on what you're used to.
PS: The photo doesn't show for me.
