and Today its 31 degrees with ice pellets.
Talk about change in the weather.
Pretty rare around here to be this cold in January, not to mention before Thanksgiving.
Fireplace is crackling.

nice, idn't it? the kids went to bed in their underwears last night, woke up this morning wondering why i had coats and scarves waiting for them...
i remember running a big traverse out around benini's place there (got to retrace a coupla original copy deeds signed by LBJ when he sold that off) a long time ago in weather like this. those cedars have an extra bite to them in this kind of weather.
Where you located brother?
Do we know each other?
If not maybe we should.
I just did a bunch of surveying for that old German Benini about 3 months ago, he is a hoot.

OKC set the record high and low for November 11 on the same day, 83 in the afternoon, 17 at midnight.
i'm in austin. my old boss and mentor has a "weekend" place out west of the falls a ways, bout halfway to town. he used to get a bunch of work out there when i worked for him- we'd go run traverse and chase boundary the first part of the day, then go build on the barn in the afternoons and take a dip in the river. of course, that was back when it rained on a regular basis around here...
we cut up a good bit of that for don and penny (who i think sold benini his place). but that's been a long time ago, i could have details wrong (i was just a lowly tag-along at that point).
It's been hovering around -10/+10 F here for the last several days. Now a storm is moving in and it's warmed up to just above freezing and it's raining. The rain hits the still hard frozen pavement and turns to ice. It's a mess up here in Southcentral AK right now.
On the bright side, keeps all the folks from California from moving up here.
Never seen this before. Driving to work this AM, hit that wall of cold air, had the windows barely opened and could feel the blast of air.
Fifteen minutes down the road hit that temperature barrier again.
The 80° warm humid Houston air fogged the window solid in less than a second. Driving 65 mph and going from visibility to no-visibilty in less than a second will wake you up faster than a cup of Deb's 90 weight coffee.
