You do know that this morning, when you woke up, that is was December, don't you?

And I had to get the scraper out myself this morning. I don't have heated mirrors and they frosted back over before I got to work.

Crazy Texas Weather

It went down to the low 30's here last night. I had to put the heat on in the house. Crazy Texas weather. I'll probably open the windows and be using the fans again next week.

Amarilla don't count. That's like Okalahoma I think. Panhandle?

Oh I know what winters like. I spent the first 35 years of my life in New York. Eight foot snow drifts, tire chains, three hours of shoveling the cars out. Then I went and bought a new 4x4 pickup, got it jacked up and put huge tires on it just to get to work. Yeah, I'm familiar.
