Working on our third day of rolling blackouts. I don't think they figured out how to make the blackouts roll though. We've had two periods of power each 30 minutes long one on Monday, one on Wednesday. The tough part right now is that you can't buy gas get by…
I woke up this morning due to the chill in the air in the house. Overnight, the house is temperature had dropped to 58°. Not bad, compared to some of my neighbors, one of whom reported last night on Facebook that her house was at 47°. Compared to the outside…
It's 18° outside, a wintry mix off and on overnight. And that's what it looks like out the front window by the door. The power went off about 2:30. About 6:00 it came on again, for about 45 minutes. It's off again now. The state electricity board has us on…
Valentine's Day It's chilly outside, and only going to get colder. We're looking at some kind of frozen precipitation overnight. Weather underground just say it'll be snow in the morning. We'll just have to wait and see. I had to put the blinds down on the living room. The crazy…
It's 36° and chilly with a wind chill in the mid twenties. The countdown is on for the coming winter storm. Everyday that goes by, the forecast below for Monday night drops a little lower. As of right now it's set at 13°. Now that is very, very cold for…
Baby it's cold outside... 37° at 7:30 a.m., there's a steady wind blowing, and a lot of moisture in the air. All day yesterday, where the forecast called for rising temperatures, that kept falling. Forecasted low last night was only 40°. It's below that now. The forecast says it's going…
There was a low rumble of thunder outside as my alarm went off this morning. by the time the grandkids were up and eating breakfast rain was falling. It's a cool, wet, winter's day, heading towards the heaviest shot of winter weather we've had all season. The weather gurus are…
Dense fog this morning has turned the world into mostly shades of gray. And with a moderate 63° outside air temperature, it's really hard to anticipate the low 30s the prognosticators are foretelling for the end of the week. Well I took my birthday road trip yesterday, and I must…
It's another spring like morning in the middle of winter. It's already pushing 60°. It looks like we have three maybe four days of this before went to returns. I think I feel the need for a road trip, a birthday road trip, just delayed by a couple of days.…
Why is it that when it looks like winter it feels like spring, and when it looks like spring it feels like winter. The conundrum of Texas gulf coast weather... It's bright and sunny out today. It's also breezy. And when the temperature is 42°, breezy's pretty cold. I missed…
It's not very cool out, just 56°. But it's quite windy, and misting a bit of rain. The wind chimes on the front porch have been making a racket all morning long. The prognosticators have placed the chance of rain at 60% today. Driving out to wait for the bus,…
It's definitely not chilly today. The temperature this morning before sunup was 64°. Clouds are moving back in from the gulf. The prognosticators are foretellingof a good chance of rain today and tonight... We'll have to see. I've been seeing Robin's fly around in the early morning light. I've seen…
It was a chill 40° this morning, with a bit of do on the car and the grass. And, a very, very beautiful sunrise. The grandkids are on the buses, the first load of laundry is in the wash, my second cup of coffee is gone. And it's not even…
Happy Birthday Abby It's chilly this morning, and there's a bit of a breeze blowing, but it'll warm up some by afternoon. Sitting at the bus stop, the temperature on the car dashboard is 44°. The wait with one grandchild is what it takes to warm the car. The second…
It's very bright out today. A cloudless blue sky. But still, it feels like spring, in the middle of winter. The weather app says it's 57° out. While on the back porch, the sun has warmed it into the sixties. The cold front has passed us by. Tonight's low will…
It really looks like winter out this morning, but it feels like spring. It's 66°, heading for the mid-70s. There's a 40% chance of rain according to the diagnosticators. Once again I slept in way too long. So now I'll play catch up on a Saturday morning. But playing catch…
Walking out this morning to sit with the grandkids waiting for the school bus, the moon was impressive as it set to the west. Last evening, after watching the fox eat on the back porch, I walked outside to see if I can see him again and spent some time…
It's nippy outside this morning, 42°. All of the color in the sunrise is to the north, so my pictures don't show it. There are some individual crows out and about this morning, cawing as they travel across the yard. The flocks of blackbirds are gathered in the pecans behind…
Wordless Wednesday
Woke up this morning to find we are stuck between too cold fronts. The temperature is 61°. The skies are still cloudy and gray. At some point this month, I'd like to see some sunshine. Last evening I decided to start rewatching Jack Ryan. Just season 2. I'm not sure,…
Another misty, overcast, warm spring like day. The birds are happy with the weather being so warm, it even sounds like spring. I can hear the chickens, or the roosters, cooing in their cages around the corner. The prognosticators are foretelling of a cool front blowing the clouds away this…
This string of hazy, foggy, overcast and rainy days just doesn't end. At least the spring like temperatures have stuck around with the clouds. I will admit that it does make for nice sleeping in weather. Without the brite sun streaming in around the window blinds, another hour in bed…
Gloomy, overcast, wet days keep coming. The dead of winter, the middle of January, and yet the temperature outside would make for a nice spring morning. It's already pushing 70°. Not what most people would expect for January the 22nd. It's been so gloomy these last three days, the solar…
Yesterday's fog, that lingered all day, has carried over into the new morning. And it is a new morning, a morning for America, a morning for democracy once again. This blanket of fog, hanging low, holding sound to the ground, making birds voices ring throughout the yard, through the woods,…
It's warmish but blustery. Birds are singing. Chickens are doing whatever it is chickens do when they talk to each other. There's a bright orange glow to the east as the sun lights the bottoms of the clouds that cover the sky. The temperature right now is 64°, but the…
Martin Luther King Day No school today, so I slept in. The sun is up, it's bright outside, and the temperatures not as cool as yesterday. The prognosticators are promising a series of days that will be very spring-like. High's in the 70s and lows in the upper 50s or…
Slept in this morning. So it's 48°, not too cold. Once again, no clouds. Our fox came by again last night. I guess it's a good thing he was out that first morning... Otherwise I never would have spotted him at night. I added some solar lights to the back…
It's 36° on the back porch this morning. But it's sunny and bright and it'll hit 60° before it starts back down. There's not a cloud in the sky and the sun is brighter than it should be on a Saturday morning. The gray fox visited again last night. I…
It's still cold out this morning, 38°, when I went to the bus stop this morning. The sky is clear. Flocks of birds are flying from tree to tree. Their noisy as they fly. I've noticed that when the big flocks are in the area the smaller birds hold up…
