My hibiscus has been blooming since February of last year LOL! Still have plenty new ones now. Winter has been nonexistent as far as freezes are concerned.

I tried to grow azaleas during my first year on College Station. Our alkaline water killed them before June was halfway over. :lol:

Huge temperature gradient this winter. Our temps up here in the NW Territories are 3-4°F cooler than last year. Our natural gas bill was over $70 for December. Unheard of. 8-)

I thought the pattern was supposed to be conducive for cold and winter precipitation. Will we finally see it in 10 days?

I’d say right now there’s a pretty good chance we see some pretty cold temps down here within 10 days.. possibly before that.

Because two different air masses are getting squeezed together causing tight pressure gradients.

0z Euro looks good for next weekend. Upper teens to low 20’s across much of southeast TX. CMC has mid teens to low 20’s. GFS is significantly warmer as usual.

Euro and Canadian still bringing the cold in a week. Euro has more moisture associated with the front. We'll see.
