What A Day!

 Lots of wind and dust and major wildfires in the panhandle. Spring has sprung. This is what "SPRING" is like on the high plains of TEXAS. Only the strong survive, and only if they're lucky!

Cloudy And Warm

 It got pretty warm yesterday but it was not at all uncomfortable. Today it is cloudy in advance of a mild "front" and rather pleasant. This has been a pretty awesome February, with only one instance of rather cold weather that didn't last long. I see all kinds of growth in my garden and it's looking quite good. I've decided to begin watering and everything is responding well. 

It's all looking (and feeling) quite good!

A Record High Today!

 It will be quite warm, verging on hot, but the air will be dry and there will be wind, so I don't expect to be uncomfortable. I have a feeling that this summer will be incredible and power grids will be collapsing all over. Another crises for ERCOT, the power grid that never seems to be ready. If I thought it would be worth the effort I would try FOIA filings to try to see where the money goes and what actually has been done. I'm pretty sure I'd encounter a stone wall. 

And I'm pretty sure I'd encounter some form of retribution, because I think I'd be dealing with the moral equivalent of an outlaw gang.  We must never forget, that this is TEXAS.

NOT Windy Yesterday!

 And so far, not windy this morning. Warming continues. 

Getting Windy

 Windy conditions at this time of year are normal and it won't be long before we have significant dust in the air.
