Well, you know the old saying, If you don't like the Texas weather, wait five minutes. We can thank the (chuckle) Canadians for todays weather.

V10KLZZ71S,

That's why when I retired I moved back to Texas. I was working In Belle Chasse and there is something wrong with having to swat mosquitoes on Christmas Eve night while you are trying to load out a job.

Up here in the Panhandle, we had a light dusting of snow this morning and at 5:45 pm it is 27 deg. f, with a chill factor of 17. It's supposed to cool off tonight, though, to 12. It will be back up to the 40s and 50s this weekend, good pheasant hunting weather for all my bros in law and I to enjoy. Been saving some pheasant cover for them to hunt.
