Tuesday, December 26th 'Tis the day after Christmas.. and winter has returned. The morning temperature, though not as cool as expected, is still 44°. Overnight a band of clouds has stretched along the Texas coast ( and probably the Louisiana coast too) like a warm fluffy blanket to keep in…
Thursday, December 21st - Winter solstice It's the first day of winter... And the low temperature this morning was 60°. It's the dichotomy of living on the Texas Gulf Coast that the days that look like winter are usually the warmer days of the season. And the days of the…
