How often do you get weather that cold in Texas? We are lucky in Missouri, that we get warmer spells all during the winter usually. Not like living in the Dakotas and other more northerly climates.

I too stay inside, usually with a nice warm throw, shawl, or sweater on and a cup of something hot to sip.

Some. It will be like this for a while, and then warm up again. And then really bad in February. It's the wind and the wet. If it was just the temp, 35F isn't so bad. But that 20MPH wind out of the north cuts. That, and the fact that I'm acclimated to 80-90F weather.

Earlier in the week, I was running around in cut-offs and no shirt, doing stuff out in the garden.

Won't be none of that nonsense today.

In February, 1999, we drove down to the Lake of the Ozarks from our home in Minnesota. It was a balmy weekend at the Lake, with highs in the mid 60s.

We had left a snowy neighborhood where we had to dig out the mailbox nearly every day so our mailman could deliver.

The warm morning air in Mizzou hit wife and I with the same idea at the same time. What the heck are we doing in Minnesota, freezing our tails off ?

Our MN house was sold the following July. We built new down here in 2001.

We didn’t really get an Indian Summer here in my part of Western Pa. Usually there’s a couple of days of very warm weather somewhere around the middle of November where we can get some final work done in the garden and yard. We haven’t even had a chance to dig up horse radish! Maybe I’ll try digging some up tomorrow before the ground starts to freeze.
