Brrrrr, hot dang

I remember the Frisco Fightin Coons (can't have that nickname for your mascot anymore!), and when they built Stonebriar.
Dallas/Ft. Worth will sprawl all the way to the Red River some day before too long.

Probably some time within the next year!

A weather station by Dalhart reported -9 this morning.

About freezing here like everywhere else.

I like it.

15 degrees in Collin County. Too cold for my blood.

 

[Charlie]

-4°C in Kerr County now.

-12°C with wind chill figured.

Houston, 32 degrees and after spending 30 of my 70+ years in the desert southwest, I think of "cold" as just another dirty four letter word that should be banned from public use.

This!

Crush, kill, mangle, maim, destroy.

Sounds like you need a nice warm "safe space".
It was 15 degrees when I woke this morning, we're supposed to get to a balmy 32 today.

There's a special place for people who like cold weather.

It's called "Canada".

Yes, YG there is. One night last week we had an overnight low of -29C. That's -20.2F for you southern folks.

Too damned cold for rational, thinking beings.

Crush, kill, mangle, maim, destroy.

Well, I guess that means the cold won't impact most of us on the forum!

In Chicago, at 19 degrees below zero, the night air was still and dense and you could hear people talking in a normal voice 1-2 blocks away!

On the two huge motorcycle trips around the western US, I spent lots of time cruising through Idaho, Montana, Wyoming and the Dakotas, there were many things that were foreign to a Texan.

Electrical outlets were installed on parking meters for those who drive into town at 30-40 below zero! They plug their vehicles in like toasters to keep them warm!

In Montana and Wyoming, there were miles of snow fences to keep snow from drifting across the road.

In Montana, when they close the highway due to high snowfall, they actually have gates that they close and lock up the highway!

Being told that snow drifted 8 feet deep in the town of Laramie, Wyoming.

Seeing doors built into the roofs of houses. The snow drifts so high that the people can't get out, otherwise!

Tire chains. Awful to install and terrible to drive with!

Studded snow tires were considered a gift from God, until they saw wear the studs caused to the roads.

Having a spare pair of snow tires on rims in the garage to install before a storm.

Snowplow drivers are insane! They roar down the highway and completely bury parked cars or worse..........smash into them. If your vehicle gets smashed, it's your own fault.

Snowplows clear the road, but they also block your driveway with huge piles of snow. You dig out.

Yup, it's chilly in Texas, but I'll take this gladly compared to what the northerners get!

All the ducks water had frozen over. I busted up the top ice a few times but they didn't really care for that. I filled up a bucket with hot water for them and it was like they had a hot tub, lol...

Temp surprised me this morning. I was expecting 21F. Thermometer shows 15F.

 

[Dawico]

Not sure what it is here (predicted teens) but at least it isn't windy.
