2023 Day 30
Monday January 30th It's another dreary winter day. The temperature this morning was 50°. It's damp... it's breezy... it's chilly. But, all in all, it's not a bad day for the end of January. Although, it does look a little too green out. Since the temperatures are predicted to stay…
2023 Day 29
Sunday January 29th It's another spring-like day in Southeast Texas... Wet, temperate, breezy... Not what you would expect for the end of January. The temperature right now is 73°. It's already rained enough for water to be standing in all the low spots. And from the looks of the forecast,…
2023 Day 28
Saturday January 28th It was 60° this morning on the back porch. It's been raining lightly off and on. According to the prognosticators we can expect this weather pattern to last for most of the week. I saw something that I haven't seen in a while this morning. A round…

Friday January 27th Another frosty morning towards the end of January. The temperature this morning is in the upper thirties, but it'll be going up into the '60s by afternoon. This is only the second morning this winter that I can recall frost on the grass. Earlier this week I…

Tuesday January 24th It's cool, breezy, and wet already this morning. Though the temperature is almost 60°, there is a rather strong breeze blowing a fine misty rain... And the prognosticators are promising this is just the start of a blustery weather day... Some cold fronts come into Houston like…

Monday January 23rd When I woke up this morning My phone said the temperature was 43°... Now that the sun is up my phone says the temperature is 40°. Of course, the sky is cloudless.... The winds are calm... So I guess it's not surprising that the air temperature would…
2023 Day 22
Sunday January 22nd After 2 days of blahness, it's looking like it will be partly sunny today. It's a brisk 50° out. And after some type of rain falling most of the day yesterday, we ended up with right at one inch in the rain gauge. Our weather has the…

2023 Day 17
Tuesday January 17th It's not feeling much like winter this morning... 67° before the sun comes up... and as the world outside my window lights up... there's a bit of fog hanging around. I've always been impressed with how, around here anyway, when it looks the most like winter is…
2023 Day 16
Monday January 16th Why is it the best mornings for sitting in the rocker on the back porch or in the flat dab middle of winter? Today we're starting at 68°. With quite an overcast. The prognosticators are foretelling another slight cooldown about Wednesday. But even then we're talking lows…
2023 Day 15
Sunday January 15th I slept in this morning... Later than I have in a long time... The first comment out of the wife's mouth was " you must have needed it ". So I guess, I probably did. It's a pleasant 61° on the back porch this morning with the…
2023 Day 13
Friday January 13th The back porch is chilly this morning... 45° as the sun comes up. I know all of you in the Northern tier of states are grinning at that description. What with being used to negative temperatures at this time of year, a 45° low must seem positively…
2023 Day 12
Thursday, January 12th It's just a bit warm at 67° this morning. Yesterday, our high was pushing 80° again. Especially on the back porch in the sun... It might have even risen into the mid '80s there. But the prognosticators are promising a cool down. And if the north wind…
2023 Day 10
Tuesday, January 10th It's already 61 ° and there's a "Dense Fog Advisory" out there. Since it's still dark out I have no idea if it actually is foggy... As the world outside my window begins to lighten I see that the "Advisory" was correct. The world is shrouded in…
2023 Day 9
Monday, January 9th It's a pleasantly cool 52° on the back porch this morning. The winds are calm, not a breeze blowing. Just enough light clouds in the sky to add some color to the sunrise this morning... Here's a bit of ground fog hanging through the woods... The chickens…

2023 Day 6
Friday, January 6th Good morning... It's a bit warmer this morning at 52°, but the humidity is up and that makes it feel cooler. On this anniversary of one of the darkest days in our countries recent history... It's good to see the Party that instigated the insurrection is still…
2023 Day 5
Thursday, January 5th It feels more like winter this morning, 45°... It's still, the sky is cloudless. It's even a little chilly inside the house because with our heat spell since Christmas I've not turned on the heat yet... Not that the house is cool down that much with all…

December Day 30
Friday It's wet... It's 62°... Since yesterday afternoon over an inch of rain has fallen. What a difference a week can make and looks of the world around me. That is, if you throw in a few days freezing weather... The number of leaves hanging on to the branches of…
