North Texas "cold snap"

/ North Texas "cold snap" #72  
Hard to complain about the great weather we have had here in south TX. Weather has turned bad today. Overnight low of 66 and a high of 76. But no sun. Tomorrow we are back in the 80's. Going to get back to reality Friday threw Sunday, mid 60 each day. Now I know why I like TX in the winter. :D

I always heard that there was nothing between the Texas panhandle and Canada but a barbed wire fence.
I heard that folks in North Dakota call a barbed wire fence a "wind break".

Just got rid of 18 December snow... more snow scheduled for Friday and Saturday... High temp for Saturday is 23. I will be off to buy some coal for the Harman coal stove this afternoon. Heat pump does't cut it with these temps.

Yeah, I had to split wood yesterday and get it tarped and dry.

The wife likes a fire when it's cold even if it isn't our primary heat. I look at it this way, she likes a fire and I like to eat, so if it comes down to it I will be there with a piece of flint and a kindling.

Raining now, the good kind. The gauge say's just at 4/10ths. Our area is expected to get up to 3+ inches of rain with .01"- .04" of ice Friday morning.

Oklahoma looks like they will get a bad one ..

And we're supposed to get a couple of inches, and maybe we will, but so far maybe a couple of hundredths of an inch.

Boy yous guys have it rough. Think we are up to 47 days with 5+ inches of snow on ground. Think record is 54 days. Only 5F now so will probably set new record.
