Donna, the standing joke here is that since Continental merged with United  
and moved their headquarters up to Chicago (along with many of the 
employees  from here in Houston), they brought their weather with them.  That is our 
 typical winter here.  We are so glad to be back to normal after two years  
of unusually cold winters (at least for us, we are not used to anything 
below  30's....and that only a few nights out of every winter).    Just  hope 
that doesn't mean you'll have the summer we had last year with temps over  
100 for months and NO rain!!!   Thankfully we are getting our weekly  rains 
back again too.  YEAH!!!!!
 
Havd a doozy of a storm pass now, the one Pam has been mentioning.   Had a 
few tornado warnings, and damage around the city, but thankfully nothing  in 
this area but good soaking rains!    San Antonio area got hit  by a 
tornado, not in mom's area, thank goodness.  Heart still goes out to  all that lose 
their homes, etc.  They are not used to such type storms at  all.

Here  is zone 5 IL... the average temps this time of year are high 40's.   
It's
be 80+ for days now.  Everything is blooming.  I am sure we  will have a
frost/freeze when this weird weather leaves and we won't be  seeing any 
fruit
this year as the trees are already blooming....It is nuts,  I may have a 
rose
blooming when I get home!  Here everything should  still be dormant for at
least another month or so... last frost date is  sometime in May.... LOL!
