I have to wonder how stormy spring will be around here. It feels like it's been many years since we had a legit thunderstorm season. I remember it happening all the time as a kiddo.

Yep we don't get severe weather as often as we use to.The last really active spring I remember was the seasons of 2015 and 2016. I think it's something to do with a lack of El Nino years over the last decade. And the higher than usual number of LA Nina years.

It hasn’t been that long since we had extremely active Springs. Hell, 2015-2019 was very wet.

I bout a drought resistance Mexican Oak in the Spring of 2016, but flooding rains drowned it. Since then in CLL we only had 1 Spring (2019?) where late May and June rains left us very wet...but then it still didn't rain hardly at all until late August.

I wouldn’t recommend a Mexican Oak in the Brazos Valley. They are better suited for zones 9 and above. They also like more sandy, rocky or volcanic soil. Not a river valley. Go with a Live Oak. Emperor is a good strain.

The past 8 winters before 2020-2021 was very mild!

And besides! I usually don't get 4-8 inches of snow from a single storm every year. And this was suddenly picked up today!

No, I don't come here to gloat. Oklahoma usually gets the extreme cold before Texas does.

I'm usually not here very much either. I was gone for months last year in the Summer.

Definitely seeing signs of some of that Siberian air entering the US in about 9-10 days per the latest GFS, as normal, lots of details to be solved but its looking like it’s possibly going to get much colder around here down the road

Look at that -EPO! Beautiful!

Cpv17 and even the CPC is beginning to buy in, already a slight risk for hazardous temps for half the state, interesting week ahead

Hmmm, interesting. I just now noticed that. Might have something to track now. I wonder what the SOI has been up to the past few days…

[Stratton20]

Cpv17 good question, interesting days ahead, its not often you see the CPC jump the gun that fast

Empire Live Oak?

We have one center front of the house. It was just a twig when we moved in. It looked pathetic for a couple of years. Then I put it on a Jack and the Beanstalk program - high nitrogen. It's coming long really well. I'll take a photo tomorrow.

Gray clay + flood killed the Mexican Oak, not cold. With UHI, we're pretty close to Zone 9 anyway. I think Navasota has lower lows. Google machine - Yep about 3-4°F colder in the winter. Austin has the same lows. We have alkaline soil and water, so it's like living in central Texas in CLL. lol

Technically, I don't live in a River Valley. That begins around the A&M Rellis (formerly Riverside) campus.

Major cold blast on the 0z Euro but gets held up by the SE ridge.

More hype....

[Stratton20]

brazoriatx its not hype, you dont see the CPC buy in this early on cold, its coming, its just a question of how far South does it push and how cold the airmass is
