Texas Spring/Summer Thread

[jyoutz]

Well then. Ok. Y'all never come to mind because it is almost a two ride from here. Got cousins in OK, so they are open season. Yankees, well, they can stay up there. Never really met a New Mexican. Well, except for McCloud from Taos.

In full spirit of the title of this thread, spring in central Texas is beautiful and we often visit our son in Austin there to get away from our spring windy weather. I like our weather in summer through winter, but spring is awful here with the winds.

Looks like the rain we were promised is going around us.

I was a member of the Cloudcroft FB group for years. They did a survey of the members and I believe it was 86% of them moved there full time from Texas. It would be very amusing to me to see just how many people living statewide in NM came there from Texas.

I was talking about the TV show. McCloud, starring Dennis Weaver. Only personality I ever knew from NM.

Austin was alright a few years ago. My daughter lived there since 2003, when she entered UT. I was going to retire in the Hill Country, until she said she was moving back home.
She moved back here last August, working from home for the state. Now, Austin is becoming a gutter like San Francisco.

Randy,
I hope not. Weather.com says we can get it after 11pm. I'll be happy with just enough rain to kill the dust. Then the pond will go down enough to mow at the high water level. We are supposed to get 2-4 inches between now and Thursday.

Austin is too big for me, but there are some nice hill country towns nearby and areas to the east like Bastrop.

We got clobbered with a major thunderstorm dumping over 4 inches of rain. Power went out for about 6 hours. My neighbor doesn't fed her horses good enough and they crib on tree bark, killing the tree. Then they fall on the hilines. It happens so often, the electric guys that do storm damage repair know right where to go when out area's lights go out.

But I slept nicely with cool air inside and the Kolher humming quietly outside.

The front that came through didn't leave much rain,yet, in the metroplex, but Temps dripped about 20 degrees. Highs in 70s for the work week!

At least you received some rain. Where I’m at, we just have cold temperatures and wind. It was jacket weather again today.

Jacket weather is nice. That there allows you to wear the same clothes all day and not change soaked clothes out 2 or 3 times aday. I'd take that anyday.
