But it won't work here; so I'll learn to deal. How does 30 deg F appeal Mom loves the cold; dad and myself like it HOT ... me...................... Y ay summer, Earlier today I was watching the Weather Channel. It was very strange. Houston's wind chill index was a pleasant 75 degrees, and in fact, I'd finally stopped sweating bullets after having done some work on the Eastwood property. Meanwhile, Dallas was a bitter 21. I say that this is the leading edge of the next ice age. After all, look how much media attention it's getting. And media attention is the true cause of climate change.

rantanamo Posted January 14, 2007 Posted January 14, 2007 nothing happening in Dallas but good bug killing weather and some rain. We rarely get anything close to what the weather people say. Its like they forget that we get our moisture from the Gulf or Pacific which are both so warm that scenarios like they are dreaming up are almost always impossible. Quote

Y ay summer,Well, since Houston doesn't have a real winter (not one that I would consider as cold anyhow) I like these occasional icy blasts.And yes, if it kills the 'skeeters I am for it. I have been bitten twice in the last couple of days meaning they (mosquitos) are bad because of warm winter weather here. Quote
Talbot Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 I like cold weather. But here I am happy with anything below 80. Quote
brijonmang Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 Here in Lubbock it hasn't gotten above 22 degrees in a couple of days...the freezing drizzle has really caused some problems. But everything covered in ice looks pretty cool. Quote
Trae Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 I was in Dallas, and I could never live there. It was 20 degrees around Arlington while in Houston it was 55. Quote
Pumapayam Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 I was in Dallas, and I could never live there. It was 20 degrees around Arlington while in Houston it was 55.Get ready, by the drive home tonight, it will be FREEZING cold! Quote
houstonfella Posted January 15, 2007 Author Posted January 15, 2007 Don't get too excited about cold weather killing mosquitoes. Minnesota has mosquitoes the size of volkswagon's and it is friggin cold up there. I think that is an old myth. Mosquitoes will never die. Quote
houstonmacbro Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 Get ready, by the drive home tonight, it will be FREEZING cold!You are driving a car and not a covered wagon right? Quote
MidtownCoog Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 Look at all the pansies! There are people already leaving work today and it's not even freezing! Quote

Pumapayam Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 You are driving a car and not a covered wagon right? Nice, more refering to the icey conditions, but no I am not riding a horse and cart. Quote
TJones Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 (edited) Chalk me up for the pansy list. I went in for the early morning meeting then said "See you Wednesday !" Just finished wrappin the pipes, got the pool pump runnin with the heater on. Make sure the rest of you with pools leave the pumps running during the freeze, word to the wise. I made a big ol' pot of chili. Not wolf brand, HOMEMADE baby ! Bring on the cold. Edited January 15, 2007 by TJones Quote
Guest Marty Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 This is great beer drinking weather. Quote
Pumapayam Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 (edited) This is great beer drinking weather. Well, that makes some sense, because you could be sober and still drive recklessly into the median with all that ice. So yes drink up! LOL, please don't btw, we don't need anymore chaos tonight.

ricco67 Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 step out on your porch tomorrow and THEN drink, that alone should be a hazard. Quote
MidtownCoog Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 I am going to go out on a limb, here:This "Artic Blast" will turn out to be much ado about nothing!PRINT ITBut I am still glad it's getting cold. Quote
houstonmacbro Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 I know ... it's gonna be 32 degrees tonight. You'd think ... well ... you'd think it was SCARY NEW CHANGES IN THE EARTH'S ECOSYSTEM."Mommy..."LOL Quote

houstonfella Posted January 15, 2007 Author Posted January 15, 2007 Send this Dallas weather back up there. I hate it. But... on the flip side... if we can get ice and not have to go to work tomorrow, I'd have a better 'tude. Stay warm folks. Quote
Guest Marty Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 Minnesota has mosquitoes the size of volkswagon's I like to see one of them hit my bug zapper. > Quote
foxmulder Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 (edited) I love this weather BUT i hate the media "Oooh It's springlike weather!"When it's hot they delicate flower, when it's cold they can't wait for spring. We have 9 months to enjoy the heat...let's keep the below 90 degree weather much longer. Edited January 16, 2007 by foxmulder Quote

All hype no ice.But that hasn't stopped one of my employees from calling me to see if we're expected to be at work tomorrow. Quote
Chris Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 I Love this weather and hope it freezes tomorrow morning so schools will be canceled. Quote
