The Texas Drought and Heat

65 and rainy.

Time for all good Texans to bust out the arctic gear.

 

Where? It's hot as heck here!

 

Probably Dallas area. Lots of Rain in the state of Texas right now.

Suppose to reach east Tx tonight. Can't wait.

 

Only 20% chance for Houston. Booooo.

 

Yep, sorry- Fort Worth area. So fresh and so clean, clean...

 

Don't mock the weather... now watch us get 5 feet of snow and sub-zero temps in Texas in January...

 

so southern okies you mean.

 

Great temps tonight. Down into the 50's.

The Farmers Almanac is out, and they predict a very wet and mild temp winter for Texas.

I mowed my lawn today. Felt like ****ing spring and baseball season about to start. Its almost october, when are we going to get cooler temperatures??

 

Thems fightin words, boy.

 

If any of you enterprising youngsters want to make some money, right now would be a good time to go in to the tree cutting business. All 5 million of these dead trees have to come down. Probably 1000 in Memorial Park.

 

Fantastic.

 

Feels pretty good outside, nice seeing some rain.

I work with some meteorologists, and they do agree the drought could continue through next summer. As for any further than that, hard to tell.

Luckily, weather is fickle.

 

Whoah! We got rain today!! I can't believe it.

 

Getting a good down pour in central Texas. Probably the emost we've gotten in one shot in over a year.

 

This is awesome. I've been up since around 5:00 just listening and enjoying it.

 

Holy hell, it is pouring down here!!!

 

Big change in temperatures tomorrow. High of 71 and low of 43 tomorrow. Can't wait.

DFW is getting pounded by rain with this front. Supposed to move into East TX later tonight.

 

Jim Spencer on the news in Austin said this could be a decade long drought....WTF????

Come on rain !!

DD

 

Heck, the glare off his bald noggin has him confused. No way that this is a decade long drought. At some point during the next year, we'll get so much rain that parched Central Texas will flood like crazy, the lakes will fill right up, Shoal Creek will look like a river, and folks will complain about the deluge and the body count. To top it off, it'll all probably happen over the course of a week or two. I've seen it before, and you probably have, as well. My prediction, at any rate.
