Temperature is great if we could get the RH down somewhere around 50% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Marty Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 I like 50 degree type weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KimberlySayWhat Posted December 17, 2006 Author Share Posted December 17, 2006 MidtownCoog:You from up North?:gasp: Absolutely not. I'm from right here. I like a few cool and crisp days here and there, but I always prefer the warmth and summer/spring-like temps during the winter time. My favorite holidays are Easter and the 4th of July, not Christmas and Thanksgiving. Our summers can be unbearable, yes, but that's the price to pay for lovely mild winters. We rode light rail today from Foley's to Herman Park, and the pepole were smelling pretty ripe Well there's no sense in that. Things can be done to prevent that for the most part.

brijonmang Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Yeah, I love this weather coming back from blustery Lubbock. If the only thing you have to complain about is how people smell on the train home...you're in good shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KimberlySayWhat Posted December 18, 2006 Author Share Posted December 18, 2006 It must have reached low '80s today. It felt great. It was about a year ago this weekend that my neice had her birthday party at the zoo and it was freezing old and miserable. Today she had her party indoors at Pump it Up while this weather is much more suitable for an outdoor party. Of course you can't predict the weather here. Frank, Niel and the weather gangs know more than anyone. Not to sound like Ken Hoffman. I enjoy his columns but his harping on the weather guys is tired. What's funny about warm winters is that some people still insist on dressing for winter. You'll see people out in wearing sweaters and hoodies, getting a Starbucks, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidtownCoog Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 It does not feel great. It's way too humid.Maybe it feels great if you sit on your butt all day, but when there is work to do outside, I'd prefer to have real December temps in December.We get to sweat all year long. We deserve a break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

December is supposed to be cold, while I welcome the mild temperatures, I just don't want it November - February. Lets see some chilly holidy weather!

houstonfella Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 We had a couple of weeks of 30s to 50s. I am personally enjoying 70-80 deg. days regardless of humidity. To me, I'd rather have 80 than 35 any day. Fortunately, we are going to have 50s - mid 60s to 70s rest of the week. But most of us who have been in Houston for a while know that we use A/C 12 months out of the year. If it makes you all feel better, it is a sticky 73 in Dallas right and a sticky 66 deg. here.

houstonfella Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 OK weather guys: supposed to get that cold front and Christmas will be cold & sunny. We've had warm weather and now the cold weather people will get "holiday" weather. Santa is taking care of all of us. Happy Holidays! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new major on the block Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 But most of us who have been in Houston for a while know that we use A/C 12 months out of the year. Thats not true, I use the A/C for nine months and then my ceiling fan for three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssullivan Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Ugh. This weather is nice in March-May, and would be wonderful in July and August. But it's December! It's supposed to be chilly! I was not happy last weekend while I was home in Houston and had to run the air conditioning. Sunday afternoon when I got in the car to go to the airport it was about 82 and down right hot in the car. I broke a little sweat before the air conditioning cooled it down. I really hate our winter warm spells. It needs to get cool and stay that way. Maybe not the -5 with a -18 wind chill I walked six blocks in two weeks ago in downtown Minneapolis, but not this above 65 degree stuff either. It's hard for me to get in the Christmas spirit when it's so warm that shorts are more comfortable to wear outdoors than jeans.Back up here in Minneapolis it's rather warm too (by their standards). This week the average high was around 40, and there's still be no decent snowfall this winter. Most people are complaining about how warm it is and that there is no snow on the ground yet, but at least it's not 80 like it is back home in Houston.

MidtownCoog Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 So finally it's starting to feel better. 82 in December was not natural.Still not jacket weather, but it felt nice to walk through Main St. Square this morning and not break a sweat.

Pumapayam Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Way north Houston may get snow Christmas Eve. If only central Houston was in the forecast too. It would be a lovely repeat of the 2004 snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pumapayam Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 ....and 2 years ago we had snow hitting the ground for the first time in how long, what's your point ? My point it that you were not supposed to even use that phrase "in how long", it is supposed to be a common even for Houston winter. It was probably 10 years since it last snowed, whereas it used to regulary snow at least once every 2 to 3 years, and have a hard free with the icicles mentioned above each year. Anyways. . . . This severe thunderstorm warning right now doesn't seem as nice...but it's good to be back in Houston where it does rain. I can see it too, it is dark, creepy and getting very windy!
