[Weather] Houston is gorgeous

yea, who needs 35 degree weather in the middle of winter.

 

The Azaleas.

But the weather is nice.

 

Just like Southern California out there...I went out to lunch and seriously debated whether or not to return to the office.

 

**** this bull****. it's like we just decided to skip winter this year. i mean we never have crazy winters, but they're usually just the way i like it. consistent highs in the 50's, occasional dips into the 40's, and then maybe a freeze or two with a tiny chance of some snow. that's the Texas winter i've grown to love. no blizzards and crap like up north, but still cold enough to give me my fix for the year. this year it's just been a long string of upper 60s and upper 70's. now if this were april or september, i'd love this type of weather, but i want my cold dammit. i wanna actually pull some long sleeve shirts out of the closet during the day time. i wanna feel that chilled air hitting my face. at least for a while. this sucks.

 

Just spend one day up north this time of year (even a place like St. Louis, where you won't have many blizzards), and you'll get your fix for the next 10 years.

This weather is perfect.

 

it 50 years it will be 85-95 degrees in winter. and then people will be even happier.

 

You've never spent time in Syracuse, NY in the winter. I have. It sucks.

 

It's 61 and sunny in Manhattan today.

 

Last March, I visited my sister's family in Northern New Jersey, and almost broke my ankle slipping on an icepatch.

There was 6 inches of snow on the ground....we're talking mid-March

Anyone who isn't enjoying today's beautiful weather in Houston needs to move the foooook out of town!!

 

Ate lunch poolside and enjoyed the sunshine. I did NOT want to come back to the office.

 

I know what you mean. I like to experience 4 distinct seasons. When I lived in Houston I looked forward to the winter. When I lived in Hawaii, there was basically the rainy season and the non-rainy season and it got boring.
I find the weather around Baltimore just about ideal. There is a real Summer, Winter, Spring, and Fall and the winter is not too severe, but there is always some snow. This winter has been extremely mild though. Last weekend I was playing Ultimate Frisbee in shorts and a sleeveless T. Crazy for January.

 

Go read Michael Crichton's State of Fear.

 

Well way to f**k it up for everybody.

You couldn't just keep your mouths shut and enjoy the beautiful weather in peace could ya?!

Now it is getting crazy windy and the temp is dropping.

Nice.


btw i'm totally kidding...

 

Yup. The crazies who want dreary cold, windy weather are about to get what they want.

 

I can't. The dinosaurs that we created at Jurassic Park ate my copy.

 

Seasonal allergies are horrible today in Austin with all the wind. I might even have to cancel my golf game tomorrow as I'm having trouble breathing at my desk right now.

Anyways, with temps in the 70's all month long, it looks like there won't be a winter this year. That means there will be a mosquito infestation this summer.

 

welcome to 1836.

 

I've taken 4 "nonsmoking breaks" today because of this.
Freaking awesome.

 

The weather in Dallas is awesome too...I can't wait for this weekend...
