I just like experiencing it. Really gives me something to look forward to and I just can’t get enough of it lol only once in my life did I actually want an extreme event to stop and that was Harvey.

What I would give to experience another 1895 event here in southeast Texas at least just once. I think that would be the highlight of my life lol
I agree. I use to LOVE extreme weather and still do to an extent. But Harvey is the first time I was ever praying for the water in my house to stop. Harvey is the first storm that now gives me PTSD if rains hard enough without stopping for a while. I think for me it has a lot to do when I was a kid and didnt have adult responsibilities like a home and car note, I wanted extreme. It was up to my parents to figure out! But as an adult with everything in my name, I thought crap, its now my problem and my money! My house flooded and its a horrible horrible feeling and find my anxiety is extremely high and find myself praying for it to stop. Harvey scarred me for life. I still love extreme weather, but only as long as Im not faced with upcoming problems.
Wholeheartedly agree!

Montana?
And Weimar. Work is allowing it, finally. Probably 9 months and 3 month splits. I’ll still have my Aggie season tickets for the 3 majors. ;)

The plan is to see the boys through HS in Weimar. Magnolia is getting too big for me.

Yeah, we were just on 249/Aggie Tollway going back and forth to IAH. WTH is the deal with that bizarre 2 lane section that bypasses Plantersville? It's the only part of 249 until 99 that gets backed up! Why even build it when there will be another 5 years of construction to make that section and 1*5 four lanes?

I guess then Magnolia will really be overrun.
Haha, my wife commented on that. I remember her saying “this is odd” as we passed it the first week it was open.

Magnolia is already over ran. Both schools are about to be 6A and they desperately need a 3rd. In addition, with the circus clowns now running Harris county, the spillover crime is blooming in MoCo and I had to use force recently to scare off a would be problem.

My opinion, of course, but I don’t want to be anywhere near Harris anymore.

As to weather, I’m looking forward to my Summers much more now! :)

“Global mountain torque getting driven into the floor this week.

Overall, this signals a forthcoming decrease in Atmospheric Angular Momentum (AAMa), favoring slow, meandering jet streams, wave breaking, & high-latitude blocking (-NAO & -EPO) the next few-several weeks”

MCW, that is a great move getting out of Magnolia and into Colorado County! I sure would like to do the same as well.

Y'all keep the cold talk coming. I would love nothing more than to have a below average cold December. My wife likes to sleep in the cold so we left the window open last night in the bedroom. You could hang meat in our bedroom right now! Love it.

Land is cheap near Columbus, but I'm on my last nerve about no rain all summer, that's become more and more common over the last decade. The crime rate in Magnolia and Montgomery are lower than Columbus...although Magnolia could get Tomballized. I remember when Tomball was just a tiny country town.

If it were me, I'd think about Montgomery. It's just far enough away from Houston, Tomball, even Conroe where there's not too much bustle...but it's closer to Lake Conroe. It's not completely flat. There are pine trees, live oaks and other trees that will actually grow over 20 ft high. There's more rain/year, especially summer.

In CLL, here are the things weather and horticulture-wise that have become very, very old:
- too hot
- almost no rain in the summer**
- too flat
- few pine trees
- alkaline soil
- alkaline city water
- expensive city water
- expensive power bill
- traffic congestion (because A&M grew from 45K to 75K in less than 15 years) that = mini-Houston

Montgomery isn't North Carolina, but has a bit of its attributes. Two inches more rain than CLL from July - October. It's not a bad drive to CLL. Arguably, Conroe will continue to spread westward.

I live in Conroe and you DO NOT want to live in Conroe or Montgomery if you are wanting to get away from the hustle and bustle. Montgomery and Conroe are pretty much connected now and Highway 105 in-between both is a nightmare.

I think that area is beautiful. Probably the best looking area in all of southeast Texas imo.

Yeah, that 5-lane section has a lot of traffic lights and commercial congestion. You should see College Station and rush hour today! 2818 is backed up for a mile+. Hwy 6/bypass is stacked. Perry and the BOR have damaged the University and BCS area...and now we're back to Frantastic 4-8 f'ball seasons instead of 8-4.

Montgomery, Livingston, and Lufkin have the highest summer "comfort" levels in the state. Not quite as hot, more rain.

It's too bad houses have gotten so expensive back in NC. I'll have to make the best of it here. 8-)

It's pretty. Huntsville, through the Woodlands has the piney woods feel. Better surviving the summers.

The congestion is so bad in BCS now that Montgomery would be a relief!

Alternatively, I would move to the HIll Country. Kerrville, Marble Falls, near Pipe Creek/Bandera. Put in a rock garden and not rely on sprinkler systems so much.

Yeah, Anderson-Iola is probably the place to go if you go north and still want to be somewhat close to commerce.

Uncle has 2,000 acres in Pipe Creek. Gorgeous area.

Larry Cosgrove has a new update titled….

Arctic Air oozes southward…

Between Cosgrove, Thomas Chisholm, Noll, Maue and some of my more regional climate follows, it looks like December 10 through Christmas will be below normal, with what’s looking like a nice Arctic spell the 17th-Christmas.

Of course Bastardi is on board, but I’ve never not known Bastardi to be screaming cold around this time of year.

Global models are still iffy on if the cold air manages to get far south, guess we will see how this evolves over the next week or so

There’s pretty good agreement on the first front around the 9th-10th. That gets us to a bit below average, but I’m really looking at that 15th-17th range when the big pot of Arctic air starts to descend on the plain states.

I’ve never quite seen so much agreement amongst Pro Mets past 10 days. Looking at our recipe for cold down here and the current ingredients in the short to mid term, it looks highly likely we will stay below normal for a while once we get past Friday of next week.

Agreed, family has land out in Bandera County (Medina area) and it's amazing. Just have to water the garden, that's about it. The less rain, the less they need to cut the few weeds that grow where the rocks aren't there and that is few and far between lol..

Yeah I’m still not sold yet. Trying to temper my expectations and be realistic about it.
