Well, ever since I moved out here, I must say that the weather here is crazier than any place I have ever lived.
Take last night, for example.... it got all the way down to the 30's. Not sure what the lowest was. When I was up at 7 am this morning it was only 35, so I am sure it was a bit colder than that. Now 35 degrees at night, at the end of April, may not sound like very cold to you northerners, but I live down in TEXAS. And not the northern part of the state either. Yesterday, our high was in the 50's. The night before last we had a tremendous storm and hail the size of marbles. In fact, we get the most wonderful storms around here. The thunder sounds like a bomb is exploding close by. Sometimes it sounds like a freight train is rolling through the house. All the windows shudder. The wind is so strong that the trees are ready to break. During one storm the neighbors concrete wall fence blew halfway down. My weather bug constantly flashes and tells me of wind advisories, tornado warnings, and thunderstorm warnings. The storms that blow through come in with a fury and then all is silent and still within an hour. One day we might have temps in the high 80's, and the next day we get temps in the 60's. We never know whether to put on the heater or the a/c at night. During the day we open up the house and just let the breeze in. The house stays nice and cool unless the temps outside go above 85. By Wednesday this week, our highs are supposed to be back up to 88. I guess only time will tell.
