<SNIP> Happens almost every year. You just can’t trust the models beyond 5 days. The NWS has now raised me overnight lows to 34/33 this weekend. Not even a freeze now. I’ll decide on Saturday if I need to cover anything up. [/quote] We're enjoying the 'warming trend' in the forecast, too. We'll pro...

Christmas Day!

Crap! That means being out in the rain and possibly snow on Christmas day covering trees! Boo!

Looks like Pearland Regional, which is in spitting distance from our house, got about 3.8”. The yard was full of water for a while last night.

Cold front has passed DW Hooks Interesting! You can just make out the line amongst the overriding precip. I do, though, hope most of it stays north of us. Our back yard _just_ got so that there was no standing water. I fear our 'Pearland pumps' (rubber rain boots) will be needed to set foot out the...

Well, hopefully that precip map is a little optimistic, or too far west!! I think we _just_ got to the point there is no visible standing water in the yard. Hoping to be able to mow some weeds mid-week!

Looks like I made it! Thanks for all the work setting up and testing everything. Thank you, also, for migrating user accounts over.

We were sitting in the hot tub last night and I saw one over northern Brazoria county about 2030-2100. It was headed northeastward, and was a nice, long burn of probably two to three seconds. Didn’t see any more, though, at all.

And I'm wishcasting that the models are wrong! We finally got a good crop of oranges and grapefruit this year. Praying we don't get a setback with freezing weather this fall/winter.

Sat down at my office desk this morning to 31.7 deg-F in northern Brazoria county. Brrrrrrrrr.

I was just about to post “this weather is miserable” until I saw the posts about snow. So I’ll correct it to “this weather feels miserable”... Nope, the weather is miserable. We start covering plants this afternoon after work. Probably pull the staghorn fern down and put it in the toolshed this wee...

Got over 2 inches of rain last night Not looking forward to this cold front...at all... The rain gauge on our brand new Acurite weather station that we got to replace the failed Acurite 5-in-1 weather station we had is still not working, so we got 0.00" of rain yesterday. One of the pups, howe...

It's a great day when you can walk outside in the morning, and eat some of the atmosphere for breakfast!!

I may as well set fire to my St Augustine yard. Brown patch has lost its mind with all the rain this year and chemical control has done absolutely nothing to slow it down, let alone stop it. 75% of my yard is orange now. and I thought University of Texas' color came from the steer. More like brown ...

I don't remember if I have donated to this forum, or not, I do support others, and will apologize right now if I haven't done my duty. That said, I would be happy to support a new forum with periodic donations, but would think that putting such a forum behind a paywall would lead to it's rapid demis...

These ARE them. I mean, it’s not still 85 outside!!

Wow! I think I can see the tornado on the NWS radar loop for Relative velocity. If it's what I think it is, it's a little circle at the base of the warning area.

This system is producing some extremely cold cloud tops and recon flight level readings of 130kts. Maybe a high end cat 4 or more at landfall if it keeps strengthening??? just kept thinking it may go 4 It may have enough local energy to do that, but there’s a some pretty high wind shear around it a...

Looks like going westward so it could be a CA hit? Belize?

I was just looking at that. Hopefully it just blows out.

Folks fretting over cool/cold weather on October 2nd need not worry too much. Cold/wintry weather is looking more and more likely as we get closer and closer to Thanksgiving and then December 1st. Some of the analogs I am inspecting as a possibility suggest we may see frequent bouts of cold and win...

You and me both. Not sure what to make of this fall. Havent even seen any love bugs which is REALLY strange. Not sure what that means but has to mean something. A friend of mine posted a picture a few weeks ago of a persimmon seed. Something about a spoon in it means a cold harsh winter and a fork ...
