Texas

My husband actually just got a memo from the state of Texas at working saying to expect a temp of -25 due to wind chill.

I feel for ya....there ain't nothing to block the wind out there!

You mean dust doesn't count??? Our dust storm last week made national news

Miserable temps coming up for the weekend in Abilene with the coldest being Sunday. The high is predicted to be 17 with a low of 6. Mercy sakes. Will be throwing another quilt or two on the bed that night.

Over here in lubbock mind you

Yuppers, figured your up in the panhandle with a post about a negative wind chill.

For some

For some reason-duh old moment-i thought you were further south. Why didn't you warn me about this???
I had some plans before it got nasty-now in outside doing have-tos

Perhaps you are recalling that we have a place in Galveston, as well? It has been a chatting point over the last year or so.

I'm from the mountains. Born and raised in a place that snows in regularly. You'd think I'd be ready for this. But I'm so not. I almost miss my muggy balmy almost florida home

Darn a "sad face"... Oh well. I am a WX g33k with a rather solid geographic map in the noggin.

Born "in the Mitten"....

So I lived in a place in oregon called the high desert. It's what it sounds like, a desert on a mountain. So we would get like 4 feet of snow. One time temps didn't go positive for a whole week. I've lived on the oregon coast and now the georgia coast. I'd still rather cold that clings to your skin(wet cold) than I would the dry cold that blows right threw you. Makes my arthritis and bone hardware hurt sooo much more.

"High desert" ... Know it well, from experience OTR. I find our perspectives on the moisture level in a cold environment to fascinating... Your description is a mirror for mine of the opposite conditions.
