The Ikky is almost here Glad I voted on Monday doubt I could lift a dry sheet of paper off a table today. Sub 60% humidity and it all changes. On a normal day I am like a gecko with that stuff, but Van der Waals forces will not apply for the next couple of days.

I love the smell of 'dust bunnies' burning in the morning!....NOT!!!! I laughed too soon but at least I didn't set off the smoke detector! a balmy 44°F here this morning, super light mist.

Hey @electrycmonk , you have any black ice up there this morning?

 

[Matejka]

Ok
I am officially cold.
Climbed into long sleeve shirt and flannel pants.
Seriously considering socks.
46f feels like 38 wind outta the north at 10-12 mph.
Sighs, I like cold better than hot but...

Nope! Never went below 35° & ground was too warm as well. Granted it's "still" 35°, some 8, almost 9 hours later.

So as promised almost a month ago... Here's that Farmer's Almanac update for this 2021 cycle:




Now y'all see what I was bummed about with regard to killing fleas off this winter.

Steadily holding here at 37 degrees with 30 wind chill, since I laid down for some sleep in the wee hours of the morning. Love the almanac! But yeah, the fleas ain't going nowhere. They are wintering here it looks like.

I'll start this one.

I am in San Marcos, between Austin and San Antonio.

FYI
I have been keeping a spread sheet of Texas BYC members for several years. Right now it has 274 members on it. Of course some are no longer members or might have visited only a few times.

Welcome, welcome newbie to the forum and the local chat thread.... Where we have recently talked about : dogs, neighbors, chickens breeding voluntarily in stealth, mowing, wearing "winter clothing" such as socks, and of course forecasting hurricanes and their projected path and life cycles......
