SNOW IN TEXAS!!!

[Chic Rustler]

no snow here but it was 9 at my house. They are calling for 10 tonight but we will probably dip to 6. Seems we are always a little colder there.

I'm not happy at all. It sux working in this $&/+

We had a blizzard here this afternoon after some snow on and off all morning. It finally started lodging too, so cars, lawns, etc are covered in the stuff. I can't wait to see what tomorrow morning is going to look like...

Do you have forced air heat? If so you might want to check the pipes, it could be a leaky or disconnected pipe under the house.

Naw, we have wood heat, but the stove is out in the cabin, built onto a trailer...so the heat has to travel through a connecting room~the foyer~through a small hallway, then T off to a master bedroom on the right and the rest of the trailer on the left...and way at the end is my room.

We've never used the furnace in this trailer and they've owned it for 26 yrs.

This will give you an idea how far the wood heat has to travel...the stove is towards the front of this cabin extension.

I'm not complaining, though...I'd roast like a suckling pig if I had to be much closer to that stove, especially at night. I like to sleep cool.

I may live in NY but I have family ( An Aunt and her husband, plus her brother and his girlfriend who live in Edna Hill and a Grandmother who lives in Hamilton) in Texas so yup, I know about the weather you have been having down there. Told my Aunt if my Uncle and his girlfriend hadn't moved down there, NY weather wouldn't be there. She didn't reply to that.
I don't know how much snow I've got here but paths had to be plowed in order to get to the chicken coop and the pasture plus had frozen water again ( which that only happened because the pump decided it had enough). Pump got replaced then I did the boiling water brigade and got water last night around 5:30pm.
It was funny how the pump went that quick though seeing how we ( the Uncle I stay with and I) had just finished filling the steers water trough.
Okay enough about my troubles now time to get back to Baymule and Texas weather. Hope you're enjoying the warmer weather now. Had an alert on the weather app I have downloaded that East Texas is under a Fire Alert/Warning for a couple of days. If it's not one thing it's another!

That is crazy!

We've been from - 15 up to a forecasted high of 42 today... Weird weather!

Did both the Mama and the baby make it?
Well, you can always have the weather I'm having up here in NY. We just got a heavy snowfall and in for another one over night.

Oh yes! They are just fine. We got 4 1/2 inches of rain that night and she tucked him in the shelter, warm and dry.

For some strange reason, the floors in the house, and the house in general, feels much more cold at temps in the 20s-30s than it does when we hit the single digits and below zero. Don't know why that is unless it's more humid at the warmer temps than the colder, thus making it a damp chill.

I prefer the colder temps...I pretty much stay in the cooler part of the house while Mom snuggles up in the cabin next to the wood stove. Old bones, skinny body vs. less old bones, fat body.

Do you have forced air heat? If so you might want to check the pipes, it could be a leaky or disconnected pipe under the house.

No snow here - but we have frozen ice pellets all over the ground. And, geeze louise, I can't even look out my windows because the moisture on the screens is frozen over. I don't know how folks deal with this stuff for a whole winter season.... a day at a time is too much for me! ( I know, I'm a cold weather wuss!)
