Texas Fall/Winter thread!

Lou- Good to hear the "Miracle Lady" is doing well. I can't imagine how much a pain that monitor would be.

Dennis- Start out slow with the hose dragging work out. You don't want to pull something. Stretch first.

24* here this morning and the wind hasn't shown any sign of weakening, straight out of the north and gusts to 25mph. Doesn't look like we'll get above freezing today and there is possible snow showers. No accumilation expected, but you never know.

FG- OK, I think I'm ready for spring!

Ya'll keep the fire going and stay warm.

14*, windchill at 1*. We have about 1/2" of "crystallized" looking snow, with more coming. I will take this over ice any day if given a choice.


Lou, The monitor I my have to use , wont be like the one Betty is using, it will monitor and record the heart rhythm

NWS says Denton's at 16 right now, going for a high of 25, and snow likely before noon. I've got to take my wife to a doctor's appointment at 10 a.m., so I hope the roads won't be too bad. At least this is just for a post surgery checkup, so nothing too serious even if the appointment was cancelled.

Bird, from what I'm seeing here right now, I think you'll be fine. You have had a few years practice on stuff like this It's not even sticking to itself on my deck, froze solid on the way down I'm sure.

Ron, the cardiologist would get bored if he saw what I was watching, FOX news on almost all day:laughing: Of course they'd probably tell me to switch to the Disney channel to keep the heart rate down:shocked:


BTW, wind chill has risen to 2* YEAH!!

Ah, The bleach blonde network! Caught'ya oint:
And that's a memo:

I thought you lived in the hot south.
It is 14 up here with bright sunshine.
Might even get to 21 today.
The deck thermometer says 34 all ready.
I should enclose the deck in glass and have a sun room.

So change the channel.

Good one ... That must have been the problem cause it only got to 14 with the windchill 1 .. Was watching the wrong channel!!! Power is out this morning.

Snowing here. Went from every four or five years to three times this year so far.

It started out at 12 F here at 6 AM and then came up to 13.6 right now. Alvord ISD delayed school opening this morning and then decided to call calf-rope and cancelled for the whole day. It occurs to me that this is just good Fort Worth Stock Show weather. We can't have too many years of good weather at the Stock Show or everyone will get spoiled.

However, this weather sure makes me yearn for a fireplace insert so I can get more usable heat out of my fireplace. It's warm within 4' of the hearth, but the rest of the room is getting all the warm air sucked up the chimney. With the way the weather has been, I think I could get pay-back on an insert in just one year.

On TV, I see Dallas and Ft Worth have some large fluffy flakes of snow falling, but I have mostly just small flakes mixed with drifting snow. When the wind blows, the snow looks like smoke drifting across my deck. It's a Texas blizzard.:laughing:
