Texas Fall/Winter thread!

It started out raining early this morning and then changed to sleet. Mid-morning, we even had some big fluffy snowflakes. I now have 1-1/2" to 2" of snow-sleet-ice on my deck. I had to bring in my new raingage to keep it from freezing. It's gonna be colder, with more ice here than in NJ at the Super Bowl. Go figure. . .

Bird I looked at them myself.. but Betty didn't want one.. the problem is,, you have to get in set down, close the door,, fill it up,, take the your bath,, them drain it before opening the door.. if you got a an hour or so.. or lots of water pressure,, maybe then.. Lou

You're right, of course. You should have a big water heater, room in your breaker panel for additional circuits, and a pocket full of money.:laughing:

Thanks Don.. Dove season closed last Sunday in our zone.. 9.. One dove came flying over,, 8 to 10 shots at it.. the only one that didn't shoot was Betty.. Did make me laugh.. I don't think the dove even knew he was being shot at.. He didn't change his fly pattern.:laughing:. Lou

The temperature has dropped to 27 F here, with the snow ending about noon and the sun just popped through for a few seconds awhile ago. It seems the wind is picking up a bit. Perhaps, there is a 2nd wave of precip coming. The forecast says 90% chance tonight.:thumbsup:

30* here now, wind chill supposed to be at 20*. Jim, you got more snow/ice than me, we have around 1", but I bet the roads will be slick in spots tomorrow. Another chance of rain Tuesday, so hopefully more rain then, have just under .42 for today in the gauge (my Stratus gauge aint skeered to be out in this:thumbsup::laughing
