Title: Texas weather is a hoot
Post by: Jackal1 on December 22, 2004, 01:06:54 AM
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.

Texas people driving in snow is dangerous...  I think they have one snow plow for all of Texas.... It's probably the one they keep showing...  :)

  HeeHeee! Cold weather riding is the best. If you run up behind someone on a scoot when it`s around 20 degrees you don`t even have to go to the trouble to pass. Most of them just pull over and let you by. I guess they figure your totaly insane and want to get out of your way.
  Way back in the days of old I got my bike license when you could still get them here at age 14.
  It was 14 degrees and the wind from the north was blowing about 20 mph. The trooper made one circle around the courthouse then parked and told me to get in his car where it was warm. He was laughing and told me that we were not going to do the driving test. He said he made up his mind if I wanted them so bad as to come in that weather, if I could start the thing and keep it upright he was going to give em to me. :D
