Texas weather is a hoot

you got to get a kick out of Texas weather.
  Spent most of the afternoon on the pontoon boat with " The Beast" ...errr my wife. Started out wearing a T , then shed it as it warmed up. The forecast here for tonight?  Snow, sleet, etc.
  God I love the Lonestar state. :D

I was in the Orlando area last week, we arrived and it was 86 Fahrenheit in the sun, a week later when we left it was 49-51 degrees Fahrenheit.....but thats okay it was -20 degree Celsius (4 degree Fahrenheit) here last night.  But its a dry cold, like that makes me feel better.

Well... Sunday it snowed some (maybe 2-3 inches, not much) Monday it froze (7 degrees, wind chill below zero).  Today, 62 and sunny :).  

Maryland weather sucks too.

God I love local news. The lead story on all 4 local newscasts? OMG!!! IT'S SNOWING!!! SAVE YOUR LOVED ONES!!
Channels 4,5,8 & 11 are all showing clips of the same wrecked Dodge pickup, the same overpass being sanded, the same daily backup on 635. It's 2 inches of freaking snow people, not a terrorist attack!

The only State in the Union where you can stand in mud up to your butt and have the wind blow dust in your face.

You are no doubt speaking of Lubbock. I've actually seen it happen.
