My momma lives in Houston and said it was supposed to be pretty warm down there. I asked her if she was in her pool yet and she said "Not yet... but close!" I believe she is evil... LOL
She did say that her orange trees were in bloom tho! I thought that was kinda neat... LOL

Well, it didn't reach 50F as was forecast - still, high 40's and, probably, the warmest afternoon since Thanksgiving weekend. Might have missed it tho'. Especially, if you were hit by a falling tree branch with the 45mph wind :rolleyes:!

The rest of the country may want to prepare for this . . .

Our weather usually tracks on to the southeast as it crosses the mountains. At the speed of this wind, I think the smaller tree branches will be in Omaha by tomorrow!

With so much wind moving from the NW into the lower Midwest - the upper Midwest usually has Canadian air moving down. The Twin Cities may see their 40 degree weather replaced by some nights in the teens. Yeah, I went ahead and looked at your forecast ;).

In fact, USA folks can look at the forecast low pressure and fronts moving right on across the continent (Wednesday thru Sunday) here: Animated Forecast Map.

Oops! Warmest day since November and suddenly, it is snowing like crazy with 45mph gusts . . ! How did I title this? "Weather. A little unreal . . ."

It's 81 here. The low last night was 63. :p
Than again there is a downside to all this nice warm Texas weather. Here it is, only late February, and I've already had to activate my rotary device for the dissection of green plant matter twice.

Well, dang nab it! That winter storm that was supposedly going through the Ohio valley seems to have tracked farther north and looks like it's paralleling the US/Canada border. It's a freakin' snow storm out there! We were going to get one inch, at the northern fringe, bloody thing is smack on top of me!
