The Norther Arrived!

 Strong winds just before sunrise, but they are slacking off now and there is plenty of sunshine and it will be above freezing for our high temps each of these somewhat wintery days, extending through the weekend. No precipitation of any kind with this "event". We stay very dry, like some martinis. Oh, do we ever need rain! 







If we wait long enough, it will rain. Might have to wait a long time.

Cold Weekend

 But how cold it will be is still uncertain. Depends on which way the wind blows. They say you don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows, but we don't have weathermen anymore, and that's a good thing, actually. We have weather forecasters. And that makes more sense.

Another Weak Norther

 Makes me wonder what February will be like. More of the same would be fine with me, except that the need for rain is becoming critical.

King of the Elves!

 From President of Venezuela to King of the Elves! Next logical step as the Emperor's brain deteriorates. When do we arrive at Master of the Universe? In "memory care"? Already a raving lunatic. But the minions eat it up. They love that stuff. They have at last a deity created in their own image. Getting more and more pleasant here. It was not as cool this morning as yesterday and it will be warmer than it was yesterday, but chances of rain are slim to none.

Warming Again!

 This could turn out to be the warmest and maybe driest winter Lubbock has ever recorded. That's OK with me. Except for the dry part. That's not good at all.
