    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
