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.

January 24Jan 24 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.

Just dry that shit up and smoke em. I kid. Yeah, my office looks like a damn botanical garden. Most can go out tomorrow so that is Leg day for me.

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.
January 24Jan 24 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.

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.
January 30Jan 30 Rain tomorrow then looks like a damn near perfect weekend ahead. Usually we get the opposite. Edited January 30Jan 30 by Storm the Field

Lost 90% of my plants during the big freeze. 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.
January 30Jan 30 Mid 60's and humid? That is rough? We got some precipitation, even @NorthLoop. I thought you were always cold.
January 30Jan 30 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.

January 30Jan 30 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. https://weather.com/forecast/regional/news/2025-01-29-hawaii-rain-snow-storms-flood-forecast

February 1Feb 1 Fuck this shit. Gimme at least another month of being able to wear a fleece pullover.
February 2Feb 2 Yeah, I enjoy wearing sweaters and such, but it was fucking gorgeous today and this week. Set up my outside office.

I highly recommend it.

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.

February 5Feb 5 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.
February 5Feb 5 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.
