And The Snow Lingers
I never thought I would see the day that the satellite image would be showing snow cover in SE Texas...
Muses on the Nature of a Snowfall…
It's early afternoon and I have discovered that seeing a solid field of bright white on the ground outside my windows is a strangely unnerving sight. It's contrary to anything I've really experienced. I've never lived somewhere where snow was common, And the few snows of this magnitude that I've…

TGIF
Catching the early bus on the first friday of the 2025 school year after the first "Winter" storm of the New Year... Do you have any idea how hard it is to get a high school student on the bus at 6:33am every weekday?
Only in Texas!
Words cannot express a more divergent forecast of extremes.
New Year’s Eve….
Only on the Texas Gulf Coast is New Year's Eve. Feel like early summer.... I'm firing up the grill to smoke a pork roast for our New Year's dinner. The ceiling fans are on because it's well into the '70s on this porch with the sun beating down upon me.…
Electricity Was Coming
The crews lined out street for most of the day. Then this happened... So for the past two hours we've been looking at this... Maybe we'll get power... Eventually...

A very interesting morning. Our power has been out all day. I really don't expect to see power for at least a day or two if not more. And my yard looks like it has been bombed. There's more tree damage than we had during Ike. But, we survived and…
I really think it’s raining outside….
After the kids got on the bus this morning, it decided to really start raining... As you can see from the standing water, it has been raining pretty hard for a good while now. Looking out at the rain gauge I can't even tell how many inches we've already had...

Tuesday, January 9th This morning's temperature is a chilly 43°. It would be pleasant except there's a very strong breeze out of the north northwest. Once again though, we are definitely in the winter time roller coaster. Check out the extended forecast... I find myself just a little bit leary…

Thursday, September 14th What a difference a day can make... Yesterday afternoon we had a good rain shower about the time the kids got home from school. Fall total. It probably rained. Three quarters of an inch. Today's forecast looks like it could even be wetter. Yesterday morning when I…

2023 Day 251
Friday September 8th Sitting out on the front porch once again.. on what the weather prognosticators are saying "should" be the last in a long line of heat advisory days. I must admit sitting out before sunup, it isn't too unpleasant. Once again, the hummingbirds are chirping in the pre-dawn…
2023 Day 250

Thursday August 31st Yesterday was the first morning in a long, long time that it was actually pleasant sitting on the front porch. So much so, that even though I turned the fan on, I had to get up and turn it back off because the wind chill was actually…
2023 Day 236
Thursday August 24th It's just another hot and humid morning in SE Texas... Without a drop of rain in the forecast. I was sitting around today when I noticed the second airplane buzzing by over the house... And for some reason that triggered a memory from my childhood. We lived…
2023 Day 234
Tuesday August 22nd When I woke up this morning I did what I always do and glanced at my phone... This morning I was gob smacked by the temperature I saw at 5:15am. Once I was up I double checked everywhere.. and sadly all sources agreed.. The overnight low made…
2023 Day 233
Monday August 21st The only difference between this morning and every other morning since school started is the addition of clouds to the sky. Which means there's additional color in the sunrise. But trust me when I say it's hot as hell here this month. It seems like every afternoon…

2023 Day 223
Friday August 11th It's just another hot August morning in Southeast Texas. There are a few clouds floating around in the sky but there's not enough moisture to even wet your mouth. It's exactly this time of year that I start hearing the call of the mountains... And I guess…
