Weather

We're having weird weather in Texas, again. It's cold and rainy, (think northern Ireland), with no freezes forecast through end of February. This is a relief of course, after February of 21.
Our big freeze came early this winter.
The Great Freeze of 21 killed 92% of all the squirrels in North Texas. The trees and shrubs are still trying to recover. Now, at the end of January, our forsythias are blooming and the daffodils are starting to bloom. Has the weather always been this strange. I don't remember it being weird from my childhood, but we lived in Houston and only had 2 seasons.

I live in the Piedmont area of NC, basically the foothills. It has rained every week since mid October. This is the wettest late fall/early winter I’ve ever seen. Guess what, forecast says rain every day next week.

Our forecast is for rain for the next 2 weeks, but not every day. We will have a beautiful day between the rainy days. Our pond is overflowing now, but by August it's going to be a mud hole. But that's relatively normal around here.

We finally got snow on the ground (since early December) and more normal January temperatures.

Things are as usual here , which is to say .... rain and back and forth temps that youll never figure .We average 5 feet of rain annually ... 7 on the high side . March is the month I keep an eye on . Weird shit happens in March .. its like the month of struggles . It could be Spring or waylaid by a blizzard

Winter finally arrived here. But it's warm today at 41°. Sometimes winter comes early. Sometimes late.

In October of 1987 the Mrs and I were married. Two weeks before the big day we got hit with a record breaking blizzard. Shut things down for near a week. Two weeks later there were areas still without power. On our wedding day it was in the 70s and there was still 2 feet of snow on the ground.

I was managing an Orkin branch in Burlington Vermont years back and I recall we once got 2 inches of snow on June 1st.

If you don't like the weather this far north, wait 15 minutes and it will change.

Lots of ice around tonight, but always remember that it could be worse.

After quite a few very dry winters, we have finally had rain and cold temperatures here in Southern California, of the sort I was used to growing up. It's been a real blessing, finally getting snow pack in the Sierra and water in the reservoirs again. The hills are green and the dust is down. Even enough snow to ski in the local resorts.

The only bummer is that the more green there is now the more brown there will be to burn later in the year. Sad reality. But it is a pleasant difference compared to the past few years

I hope that this trend continues for you. I remember how pretty those hills were in 1969. Besides, Texas quota for California refugees is full.
