december 3 and it is 78 freaking degrees outside at noon.
i hate se texas. i want real weather. i want a summer that doesn't try to kill you and a winter that is consistantly below 40 at least. the fleas and other creepy crawlies get worse every summer because the winter is too mild to kill them and they just get stronger.

i will actually wear shorts and a tee to our city HOLIDAY parade. that's not right.

2. Don't worry....a true "blue norther" is on its way.
I'm in Dallas. Low 80s today. Mid 50s tomorrow for a high. High of upper 30s by Wednesday.

5. I know what you mean.
I'm from Alaska, and this is my third winter in SW Missouri. Right now, the temp is 68 degrees, and its damn december 3rd, it makes no sense to me, its like summer just doesnt' want to friggen die. I'm so use to the cold, and snow...I miss it! I got a snow shovel three years ago, and its still a damn virgin snow shovel, its never seen snow...:(

6. There is a cold front coming.
We are supposed to be in the low 50's tomorrow, and the mid to low 40's the rest of the week. With lows in the teens.

7. When I lived in Ft. Worth...
I was told if you don't like the weather in TX, just wait 20 minutes, it will change.

10. Here in the desert bugs are not a problem
No fleas whatsoever! Not enough moisture for fleas to survive. I was shocked to find this out after moving here. I don't have to use any kind of flea or tick products on my baby girl anymore. No mosquitoes either!
I've been here in the desert for 2 years now and I don't miss the snow or cold weather of New York at all.
I've been to SE Texas where you are and could not stand the humidity.
