The weather in central Texas this morning

[fotofashion]

As my info says, I live east of Houston just north of I10. We had a thin coating of ice on everything this AM. As soon as the temp went up past 32, it all melted. I have stayed as close to the heater as possible today. BRRRR it is cold! The pictures on TV of the traffic jams should be enough to keep anyone with any sense at home. I was raised in MI but still have problems with the slippery skid stuff.
I need to go out to the GH before dark to say Hi to my plants.
Here's hoping for higher temps tomorrow.

Our snow is still here at 5 pm, even! I have gotten used to getting the "dusting" that usually melts off by ~9 am! It's supposed to get below freezing again, which means all the slush will be ice, soon. It's already started on the street...YIKES!

Ted, thanks for the info on the difference. Yep, mine typically has had 2 flowers per inflorescence. It's got a sweet, lemony smell and the red is reminiscent of...well....venous blood, or better yet, red velvet.

Looks like you guys up north got some real snow, we just got ice here in Houston

I think this winter weather is generally crazy this year. I wonder if we are under El Nino or La Nina patterns?
Temple's a nice place. It's changed quite a bit since we've been here (had to have some repair work that could be done in Temple or Dallas when we first moved here...I opted for Temple).

yikes! never good when it snows where people aren 't used to it, and probably a good idea to avoid driving

I believe I read several times late last year that we were to have La Nina - but since the west coast isn't having the crazy weather, I expect the weather in Texas is not coming from the Pacific

It is La Nina.
But yeah, we are having fantastic weather out here on the west coast! Going to hit the mid-seventies today. A lot of my 'chids are going outside to enjoy the fresh air.

I read all the posts. May be you all drinking hot coffee?
What else can do?
This is not permanent I suppose.

Okay, I just have to chime in here, being from New England. You guys have it easy.

This is a super snowy winter here in the Northeast, so it's only fair of us to share some of it with you.

Stay warm. LOL
