Brrrr.....

Nothing like a cold front to remind us of what type of weather we can have in January. We reached our high of 35 at 8:15am today.

Back in December of 1984, the Little Town experienced a helluva flood. Two or three days later, we were hit with a snow/sleet storm. The Little Town was incapacitated for several days. People who live north of IH-10 have to understand that we are not accustomed to snow/sleet. And you don't want us to try to drive in it.

A couple of years ago there was an ice storm that stretched from Fort Stockton to Austin. Several highways and sections of IH-10 were closed for a couple of days. I counted five cars on Main Street in a two hour period of time. Count me as six when my employer decided to send me home.

So northerners and snow birds can continue to poo-poo us for closing schools and businesses early due to bad weather. South Texans are not equipped to deal with ice and/or snow and you truly do not want us on the highways and byways.
