Texas Fall/Winter thread!

Bird · Dec 18, 2016

National Weather Service says it's 14 degrees in Denton, and it felt like it when I went out to the shop a few minutes ago.

32 degrees and the wind is whipping. Started the fire at 3 a.m. heavy wind made it a challenge getting a draw up the chimney. After an hour or so, finally got it going. Warming things nicely now.

18 here this morning. Goats are hungry. HS

NWS says Denton is now down to 12 degrees, and I don't think it'll go any lower today.

Winter has arrived in central Texas. Talk about extremes. Take a look at the two pictures taken in our goat shed. The wind chill, and it is windy, is reportedly 9° to 19°. After spending the last 30 minutes out there I will go with the 9°.

Just an opinion offered, Consider Camp Tejas Christmas if Santa's Wonderland pricing and crowds tick you off.

Less commercial. More Christian message. Not sure if it's non-profit (I believe it is), but it only costs $8 to get in. Meals are extra, and so is the zip line.

It was a pleasant surprise when we went several years ago. The lights are amazing and not one santa. Emphasis is on the real meaning of Christmas.

Merry Christmas everyone,, And I might add that it got so cold down here, on the gulf, that my computer froze up and it was inside.

Don, they have a new indoor light show with a great message that even my kids watched.

I love their dining hall. Especially on a cold morning with a hot fire blazing in the fireplace.
