Only in Texas...
...can it be a clear, spring day with 67 degree temperatures on Tuesday and then be 32 degrees with sleet and snow falling on Wednesday.
I guess the saying still applies....if you don't like the weather today just wait until tomorrow and it will change. I love this state.

Only in Minnesota...
It was 10 degrees on Monday and we had freezing RAIN! Guess the bodyshops will be busy for a while.
-5 degrees today (-20 wind chill) BTW.
Truck is covered with road salt.
Any room left in Texas for a Minnesota boy?

Nah, happens here all the time. Wet air from the gulf meets cold air from Canada, and presto! We went from 60 degrees one day to having 5 inches of snow the next earlier this year, in fact. Killed my Bradford pear tree, split it right down the middle. Good riddance is all I can say. It never bloomed worth a darn, anyway.

I hate winter.
I was walking around outside yesterday in a short sleeve shirt and I was comfortable. Then today, I get woken up at 7 by a huge thunderstorm. Now it's freezing cold and I've gotta drive back home in this mess. Maybe I should have left yesterday.

C'mon up to the great home of the Alberta Clipper. We're just so generous we figure we'll share the season with the rest of the continent! +12C last week, -25C last night (53.6F down to -13F for those of you south of the 49th! What's 66 degrees matter?)

Sheesh, I make good my escape to New England and it's 50* here today.
Though, we did get a little snow Monday. And yesterday AM it was about 5*.
Supposed to rain tomorrow... then cold again. Typical New England winter pattern. Now we just need a storm to match up with some cold weather. I'm a little off: I love winter and snow!

They're all dead now. We cut it down and hauled it to the drop-off site here in KC, where we saw what I'm pretty sure was every other Bradford pear in the city also being dropped off in pieces.
