Thanks, Lucy. Weather has always fascinated me. Were I starting college again, I probably would have changed my major from English education to meteorology. I have six weather related bookmarks on my ‘puter and check them several times a day.

Fingers crossed this El Nino actually materializes.....Kalifornia could use a good swampy season to quell the drought police.

We’ve seen some very strange weather in Texas already this year. It was a mild winter but spring has brought rain and cool temps for the past month. While the rain has been hit and miss (mostly miss here), I’ve had to delay and delay the garden due to forecasts of severe rain/hail/tornadoes. This has not been a Texas spring. We should be pushing upper 90s or more but it’s been in the 80s. Not complaining about the cooler temps but there’s that other shoe waiting to fall come July and August.

Last year we were supposed to have a “Super! El! Niño!” So I’m going to take a wait and see attitude. It would be good for California, though.
