Can you feel it coming???
Can you feel it coming???
Fall. Autumn. The last gasp of a scorching summer. Whatever you want to call it, it's finally coming!
The weathermen are all a twitter with forecasts of 70 degree weather in the 'next few days'.
Being a weatherman in Texas is not that hard, really.
From May to October it's hot, hot, hot with a few days of hail storms and tornadoes.
From Mid October to Mid November SOME of the trees sport burnished gold and yellow leaves, SOME of which will fall to the ground. Mostly in my yard, even though the trees are all in my neighbors yards.
From Mid November to Mid April it's cool, cold or warm, depending on what's going on in the Gulf Coast to the south and the Rockies to north. Oh, and a few ice storms just to make life interesting. Yes, ice STORMS. Go to sleep with cool air outside. Wake up and the roads are covered with a half inch of clear ice as far as the eye can see, semi's jack knifed everywhere just to make driving a little more challenging. By the next day the sun has blasted the ice off and it's 70 degrees again. Or not.
Mid April to Mid May Spring time struggles to push the ice back up to Montana. Trees and plants push buds out to the tips of their limbs and withing days new leaves and blossom explode everywhere. The Bradford Pear trees pop with white or pink blossoms that last about a week. They are beautiful and brief.
That's it. That's Texas Weather in a nutshell.
