Texas DUers tell us about the weather

[malaise]

snow and all.

[malokvale77]

1. Dallas - 28 and clear for now. (nt)

[hobbit709]

2. 40° and dry. 60-90% chance of rain later.

doesn't look like it will freeze here in Austin but might out in the Hill Country west of us.

[LuvNewcastle]

3. Whatever they're having in Texas, we'll get it in Miss. a day or two later.

That cold front that brought the cold weather to Texas just blew in yesterday afternoon here in Biloxi. It's about 40 degrees out there now, but it's very windy, so it feels much colder. Brrrrr.

[kalli007]

4. South of Houston

Cold, drizzly, wet.

In other words - MISERABLE

[malaise]

7. Sounds better than where I'm heading

I'm terrified of cold weather.

[PDJane]

5. Sounds almost tropical.......except that you lot work on Farenheit.

It's -11°C here, wind chill of -14°C. It's bright and sunny right now, though. Snow later in the day when it gets to -5°C.

[chillfactor]

6. I live in New Mexico..we were hit first..

16 degrees F, 8" of snow so far and it is not supposed to end until tomorrow morning..highways treachrous

[TBF]

8. So cold I haven't walked the dogs yet -

and they are annoyed.

I will take them out in a few minutes. They are big labs and need their morning walk (jog) around the neighborhood). Normal schedule is to go out at about 5:45 am.

It is 44 degrees. Not nearly as cold as I experienced growing up in the midwest but we aren't used to it down here on the coast (we're in the suburbs south of Houston).

[malaise]

9. I love labs

sweet friendly dogs.
That is freezing in my books.

[HereSince1628]

10. I never adjusted to weather in the ice-storm belt.

Rain and temps from 32F-45F strongly motivate my heated shelter seeking behavior.

[kalli007]

11. I'm right down the road from you

And my young dog is driving me NUTS due to lack of outdoor exercise!!!!

[TBF]

13. I just took them out for a short walk

and they want to go back out and play. They love this weather!

[maddezmom]

12. About the same North of Houston...42 here

And my dog is whining to go out. Yesterday I took him while there was a break in the downpour only to get drenched the last 5 minutes.

[TBF]

14. Yes after getting caught in a bad storm

earlier this fall I take an umbrella if it's overcast - no matter what Science Guy says. My arthritis is a little more accurate than he is.

[seabeyond]

21. ya. i need to take mine out. been holding off. he is going to sink in the snow

and is his first time. waiting for son so he can take pictures. snow is almost or is as high as he is

[TBF]

22. lol -enjoy

Even though I'm originally from Wisconsin I never visit in the winter. The first time my daughter saw snow was in Amarillo. We were staying at the Holiday Inn -on our way to Colorado Springs. It turned out we saw more snow in Amarillo than in the Springs!

[seabeyond]

24. surprisingly we can really get it. amarillo has more rain, but co spr just beats out

on the snow. but none of that matters cause it is all in the storms that come across. or up and down. one never knows. weather wise, this has been an interesting place to live

[ananda]

15. It's cold and wet here in northwest Austin.

That didn't stop hundreds of people from phonebanking
for Wendy Davis yesterday, though.

I made quite a few calls, and got three hits, all positive!

Go Battleground Texas!

[malaise]

16. Now that is great news

Go Wendy Davis!!

I have a strange feeling that she is going to win.

[ananda]

32. Let's go with strange feelings then!

..

[Paladin]

17. Just waiting for one of our Texas Haters to tell us we deserve this weather. (nt)

[malaise]

26. ROFL

Not going to happen

[Paladin]

39. Actually, it DID happen.

On an LBN thread about Texas weather this morning, somebody from Ohio gloating that "Hell has frozen over." Never make the mistake of overestimating the class of our Texas Haters......

[hobbit709]

43. I've lived in OH for 8 years.

It's HELL even without the freezing every winter. That's why I left as soon as I could.

[tammywammy]

18. Ice/sleet/snow not expected for a few more hours.

Which is good, I'm meeting with my statistics study group this morning. Weather to turn bad after that.

[catrose]

19. Cold, wind-blasting rain every time I want to go out

So I've stopped going out.

[seabeyond]

20. i woke to 2-4 inches. probably

closer to four but i am very bad at gaging.

cold. and lovely. 25 degrees and suppose to get more later.

yea.

snow man time.

[magical thyme]

23. hey, I'm taking the cold weather down south as sign that

the Weather Gods are doing their best to help turn Texas Blue.

[ScreamingMeemie]

25. Near Houston. Finally not raining. 45 degrees

No snow in the forecast but...brrrrrrrrr...

Even my precious princess Jessie doesn't want to go out.

[oneshooter]

27. NW of Katy. 40deg with 20+mph winds. Gusts measured to 35.

The cold hurts me, wet cold even more.

[oneshooter]

30. Supposed to be a high of 41 tuesday, gonna be cold cookin brisket.

[northoftheborder]

28. Just above freezing here, but wind makes it feel like 24 F. Ain't goin' anywhir today.

[broiles]

29. Ft.Worth, 31 degrees, slight drizzle, nice fire in fireplace.

[malaise]

31. Enjoy those of you who like it

I hate both the cold and the snow but I'm gearing up to face some very cold weather for the week.

[X_Digger]

33. 34 and sleeting rain in Fort Worth. n/t

[From The Ashes]

34. Around 40 and rainy...

here in beautiful San Antonio.

[AverageJoe90]

35. Only 33*F in Frisco, TX right now.

And we may have already gotten some sleet & ice already, though it's expected to be worse on Mon.

[Packerowner740]

36. If you don't like the weather in Texas, wait an hour and it will change.

[oneshooter]

37. Yes, it will generally get worse!

[Rstrstx]

38. It sucks down here in the south

I don't think we've had such an extended cool period in the previous two winters (they say at least 2 more days), temps day and night in the 40s. On the bright side we're over 4 inches of rain, with more promised. Nothing lower than 40 progged at night so no need to take drastic measures. It just sucks though when you're used to living 10 months in shorts without having to worry about your wardrobe. Can't believe it was 88 two days ago, oh how I miss it already.

[malaise]

40. I saw all that snow and could not believe me eyes

Ah well I too will have to face the cold and snow later this week.

[Tyrs WolfDaemon]

41. Right now in Austin (9:20am 11/25) it is wet-rainy and around 36°

It is wonderful!

Finally a day that has no sun and is getting cold!
If I didn't have my daily migraine I would be out playing!

It has been a long time since I could turn the AC off and open the windows. I'm loving this (like a wolf with a favorite bone )

I really wish I wasn't financially tied to this place. I'd leave in a heart beat and head someplace like this year-round. (Cool-cold sunny days would be acceptable since I'm more of a night person. Sun and my migraines don't mix )

If only I could turn my bedroom into something this:

[rdking647]

42. 35 and pouring in austin

i want my sunshine back
