Daily forecast shows a high of 34 for Amarillo today, and then the 10 day forecast shows a high of 36 for today.

WTF?  yeah, it's only 2 degrees, but shouldn't they match?

I subscribe to the college interns drinking beer theory.

Hope it freezes in August.

Completely disagree. If Texas in August, aka Hell, freezes over, then that'll mean that A&M has finally won a championship. 

Yeah saw some of those long term forecasts as I was putting all our flora covers away last month.  But thought I should keep them handy in case along with faucet covers and water shutoff procedures.

 

You know it’s a bad sign when despite these early warning; ERCOT is literally laying people off later this month.  This fucking simulation…

Saw some forecasters in Houston and Austin saying, "yeah, we see some of that... maybe/maybe not but we're thinking maybe not"

We'll see...

Johnny, it’s cold out…how about some more coffee?

 

No thanks !

Just googled that LA gets about 15 inches of rain... a year.

Yeah I'd heard that was coming your way.  Hang in there! 

(No, I mean literally, hang in there and try not to slide down a mountainside...)

Yeah, it's dumping and will continue to for a few days.

Supposed to be basically nonstop until Wednesday.

Only 0.1" so far up here in NW Travis but the forecasts are calling for heavier stuff in the 11-1 PM range.  Bring it on.

supposed to snow until about 10AM.  Right now, we have about an inch on the ground.

We can probably spare cutting open any tauntauns today...

Otis isn't so sure about just how bad he needs to Pee!

It's gonna be a tough winter week, but we'll manage somehow.

That’s an outstanding forecast!

Last two posts have doomed us. Dropping tree fiddy that we get nailed with some crap weather around spring break.

How is Otis not figured prominently in the My Dog Is Awesome thread

31 at night, 68 in the  day.  Not too shabby.

First hit of heroin is free. Lavish in the warmth. Then July and August happens....

We usually do, but it's typically the "cool and rainy" kind rather than the "below freezing for a week so your electricity goes out and all your pipes burst" kind.

It’s not too bad.  Just going to be steady for several days 

Definitely not as bad as the last storms but this shit is annoying

One of the mildest Texas winters I can remember.  Not complaining, considering the grid can't handle demand.

Yeah, aside from about 60 hours during the January freeze, I'm struggling to remember many genuinely "cold" days that required much more than a light jacket or pullover here in Houston.

Well it didn’t feel like it. We certainly only froze a few times and nothing crazy like single digits. I should probably stop jinxing us though.

This is true for Camp Mabry weather station KATT.  For Austin-Bergstrom International Airport weather station KAUS, January 2015 was technically colder.  587.5 HDD in January 2015 vs 582 HDD in January 2024.

The Arctic burst toughened you up and those 36-49 degree days seemed like nothing. 
 

That and we didn’t always have wind on those cold days which helps. 

86 degrees tomorrow, Feb 22nd?

anyone have a link to the ‘blast furnace 24’ thread?

Yea I'm looking for the 2024 blast furnace thread because I have some problems with you people and now you're gonna hear about it. I see a high of 88 in dfw next Monday, which last time I checked was still February. I already told my wife we are xeriscaping if we have another summer like the previous 2.

I started negotiations with my employers about working from Minnesota for 3 months a year.

This shit will be unsustainable. 

Enjoy the mosquitos. I got cold beer and a river. I will be fine.

It will get worse. So only concerns are can the grid hold up because people need their house at 68 in August.

Can't be worse than Nova Scotia.

They sky would turn black with the swarms

 

The sun and 70 degree weather with a nice dip down at night the last week has been one of the best weeks of weather in Dallas ever.

You doomed us. Gonna get fucked in late march.
