Multiple lanes across the Southwest Freeway have been temporarily closed due to damage caused by snowplows that were clearing snow from the roadways.

They should have hired this guy:

I remember when I moved to DFW area from New York after living in NY for 10 years and living with their winters, and I saw all of the raised reflective markers for the yellow and white lanes on roads.   I thought well, they don't have any plows or need for plows here, because a plow would just rip the road apart.  I guess Houston forgot that.

Houston drivers pay attention to lane markers?

So.....how are the long term forecasts looking for another arctic outbreak?

Because I've got a bunch of goddamned plants in my bathroom that I'd like to get back out on our deck, but can't do so if we're gonna get down into the 20s again in another week or two.

The herbs are easy.  My wife's giant lemon tree, which a) produced great lemons this year, so we're happy with it, and b) is already starting to blossom, needs to go outside and get good sun, air, and some sexy group pollinator action.

Mandarin, avocado and olive trees.

Get them out manana. Rain and dappled light is the forecast. Perfect for that transition to Hellfire summer. Of course, they will be coming back in within 10 days.

Been really nice the past 2 days post freeze, but looks like Winter Monsoon Season starts late tomorrow night. Steady rain in the forecast through next Friday.

My Key lime tree needs friends. What variety are your avocado and Mandarin trees? (I assume you need a couple avocado trees to pollinate.)

Hass and forget the Mandarin. I don't grow for fruit, just love plants and grow a lot of odd shit. Starting over. Lost 90% of my plants during the big freeze.

Rain tomorrow then looks like a damn near perfect weekend ahead. Usually we get the opposite.

Ha. We also have an avocado tree. Started from a pit by my daughter about 7 or 8 years ago. Will likely never produce but I'm determined to keep it alive like Leon's plant in The Professional. 

Today was total breast sweat, ass sweat, ball sweat, whatever Jesus 100% humidity and warm. I was certain new diseases were growing in the air spontaneously it was so warm and soupy.

Swoobs, swass, swalls.

Mid 60's and  humid? That is rough? We got some precipitation, even @NorthLoop.

I thought you were always cold.

Barely got shit this morning. And that's all we'll get out of this. Sigh. 

 

At least we had an exciting earthquake last night.

So winter’s over huh

Highs in the 70's starting tomorrow. Supposed to hit high 70's Tuesday-Thursday before finally cooling back down to mid-60's next weekend.

Man I could never move to somewhere that has more winter than Austin.  Somewhere in the tropics is in my future, ideally.

I'm probably moving to Colorado (Denver/Boulder/Fort Collins) in the next 12-18 months. 

So, wish this life-long Texan luck in the next Surly Winter Weather thread.

Nah, it's about to be way too high for Denver in early February. Sincerely, guy who has to work outside part of the time.

Geez. You ain't kidding. I just checked the forecast for here early next week.

early april weather in february.

We’re getting snow! 
 

Okay so only the tops of the peaks are, but I have always found this to be pretty cool, even if it’s not a rare event. Mostly it’s just something we were never taught to associate Hawai’i with when you learn about it growing up elsewhere.

Beautiful weather, bring it on!

Yeah, I enjoy wearing sweaters and such, but it was fucking gorgeous today and this week. Set up my outside office.

I'm probably moving to Colorado (Denver/Boulder/Fort Collins) in the next 12-18 months.

Too peopley up there for me. Westcliffe was good enough for John Amos, and the views of the Sangres is incredible. I highly recommend it.

I feel like we are always good for one last blast of winter.  Sometimes it comes mid-February other times even March.  But it will come.

Always be wary in Central Texas planting Tomatos before Easter. Old farmers advice.

I remember February of 1996 or so.  One day, we walked to lunch and commented that it was downright hot...and it was, we got up to 99 degrees that day.  3-4 days later, we had to cancel depositions because nobody could drive anywhere because we had an ice storm.

Mine kicked on at 1pm yesterday. Fuck this shit hard. Anyone have land in Idaho or Montana? You can't even count on 2 months of cold weather in Texas anymore.

The AC wars have begun.

 

82° in houston, a second day in a row of record high temps. overnight low is supposed to be 65° tonight, which is the average high.

I made a quick trip to Ballinger over the weekend. I had to run the AC  going home and stopped in OK to clean the bugs off of the windshield. That's bullshit, man.

I ran the heater before I crossed into KS so that was good.
