Boy I tell ya'll it is cold outside tonight! Our temps right now says it is 29*, but with the windchill it feels like 15*. Brrrr, and for all you 'Naysayers' who think Texas is always hot, we have had a bit of an ice storm along with this cold snap. Not snow, nooo it had to go a bit further and drop that awful yucky sleet most of the day! Did I mention I hate ice? Well I do. I love snow, but hate ice storms!! They claim it is one of the earliest cold fronts we've had in years. I can remember in years past having snow for Thanksgiving, so I know it has & can get cold in Nov here. :(
I took a few photos of the cold front coming in on Thur evening around 4:00pm. Here we call them 'Blue Northers' when the sky gets really dark and the wind blows like crazy. That is our worst thing here in winter, the relentless wind that blows down from Canada and freezes the goose bumps right off your hinny! It can get into the -teens when it really gets to ripping through the countryside.
They claim we are in for more of the same for the next two days. Then it will start warming up next Tue and by Thur, Thanksgiving Day it is back in the 50s or maybe 60s. Gotta' love Texas weather! LOL
Blue Norther coming in on Thur evening. Clouds over the dry part
of the lake I live at.

Ice trail to the car. This is not snow, it sleeted instead.
