I’m going to try this this year. It’s supposedly happier in warmer temps than regular cilantro.

We’ll see.

Well, crap - rightly and I are having a winter storm this evening. Rightly, maybe wife should stay home tomorrow, don’t let her go out on the roads - we could also lose power. I just got this from a Houston TV station (see ice storm warning at the end):

Monday Night Overcast in the evening, then mostly cloudy with ice pellets. Low of 28F. Winds from the North at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of precipitation 40% .

Tuesday Overcast with ice pellets and rain, then a chance of rain in the afternoon. High of 45F. Winds less than 5 mph. Chance of precipitation 70% .

Tuesday Night Overcast in the evening, then mostly cloudy. Low of 32F. Winds less than 5 mph.

Winter Storm Warning Statement as of 2:16 PM CST on March 3, 2014
... Winter Storm Warning in effect from 11 PM this evening to 11 am CST Tuesday...

The National Weather Service in Houston/Galveston has issued a Winter Storm Warning for freezing rain... which is in effect from 11 PM this evening to 11 am CST Tuesday.

* Event... a cold airmass over the area and an approaching upper level system will set the stage for freezing rain to develop after 11 PM and intensify over the warning area between 2 am and 8 am.

Ice is expected to accumulate on bridges first but should
develop on surface streets as well before 6 am. Significant
accumulations of 0.10 to 0.20 inches of ice will be possible
over the warning area. As temperatures warm after 9 am the
freezing rain should gradually change back over to rain.
Temperatures should be in the mid to upper 30s by noon helping to quickly thaw roads and any ice accumulations.

* Timing... after 11 PM through 11 am

* main impact... treacherous driving conditions on many roads and especially on bridges and elevated roads.

Other impacts... possibly power outages.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

Roads... bridges... and overpasses in the warning area will become slick and hazardous. Accumulation of ice on surface roads may make travel treacherous. Sidewalks may receive a glaze of ice and become difficult for pedestrians.
