Re: Re: CULT: Freeze damage

It was 34o on top of this windy hill when I checked the thermometer 
at 6 a.m.  I saw frost on the roofs of houses below me, but, thank 
goodness, there was none here.  I hope this bout of cold weather is 
the end of it, but you always hear about the Easter flood, blizzard, or 
earthquake and Easter is till three weeks away. Long time 
weathercaster Harold Taft used to talk about the May snow in Dallas 
and Ft. Worth that fell sometime in the 20's, so it can still happen.  
Hard to believe.
