RE: Texas Weather

Ah, it's warming up a bit here. A big 59 degrees which, considering the
last week, is  not so bad. I'm feeling a bit miffed though that they got
snow in Malibu plus a snowstorm closed I-5, and all we saw were a couple
clouds. I mean, really, if it's going to be this cold we oughta at least
get some snow out of it. 
I was checking out the palm trees out in front of my workplace here and
it could look better. They are fan palms, usually do just fine, but
there is no green showing on the fronds at all, they are completely
brown now. Time will tell if they've been killed but I hope not, they're
huge and there's almost 30 of them. I was here in the last really cold
snap though (mumble) years ago and most of the palms not protected by a
building or windbreak died. 
If I'm ever home during daylight again I have got to get out there and
see what's going on in my garden.

Pam, when are you expected to return to normal down there?  

Theresa and
Cyndi, how about you and the rest of the state?

Definately a weird season
everywhere- although I didn't mind the warm weather in the beginning of
this season for me.  It is now back to normal winter
here....burr....cold and flurries expected.

Oh this is nutso here.
Yes - we have power.  Matter of fact, Sugar just got behind me and
nudged me out of my recliner as it's the warmest spot in the house.  It
hasn't gotten above freezing since Sunday.  Unheard of here.
Even when we get the occasional
freeze overnight, it normally starts to thaw out by noon.  This is
crazy.
How do people stand this?   My poor rosemary
shrubs are covered in ice.  I
hope that insulates them until it thaws.  It needs to be Spring
tomorrow.  I had some daffodils blooming already, they
look like Popsicles now.   Revolting
weather.
