THE TEXAS SCRIBBLER

Supposed to be highs in the 70s and lows in the 50s all week.Time to start looking for Bluebonnets. The Central Texas winter is finally over and spring is finally on the way. Just another week or so and it will be here en toto. Kol HaKavod!

Strictly unscientific. No statistics herein to prove it. But July is almost over and we have yet to hit a hundred degrees. Usually, well, the last few years, we’d have done that by now. Still time, of course, but so far it hovers in the low nineties.

It was supposed to be in the triple digits today through the middle of next week. Fortunately, we’ve been spared. It’s now expected to only get to 97 degrees this afternoon and repeat that on Sunday. Be cooling down even further by Wednesday to a mere 92. Why, yes, I believe we can get through [...]

No snow, after all. Not even any sleet. Both have dropped out of the forecast. Just rain, and little more than a drizzle, at that. Mr. B. is tre disappointed. Texas boys down here see magic in snow. They see it so seldom in this part of the state. I realize some people would be [...]

So far the weather warriors’ radar is all greens and yellows so, hopefully, that artillery-like thunder rumbling through now and then won’t get much worse. We are forecast to get heavy rain overnight, today and tonight, and are under a flash flood watch. Nice that the temp is in the 50s. Won’t be any snow [...]

Gad, it’s cold. Hovering at 30 degrees at the Rancho and headed down to 22 overnight. I know it’s worse in most places north and east of us. Tom Higdon, an OCS buddy in southwestern Missouri, emails that it’s 4 degrees where he is, with minus 6 expected. We’re not used to this kind of [...]

Radio says we’ve had almost three inches since it began with the passage of a cold front overnight. Indeed, Mr. B. and I saw it running in the neighborhood gutters and ponding in the yards as I drove him to school this morning. Forecast shows more to come. We sure need it, and it’ll lower [...]

Got home from the condo at Port A couple of hours ago. Met with heavy rain approaching the city from the south on 183, and a few showers within since then. Forecast to continue until nine p.m. or so. Cooled things off quite a bit. It’s eighty degrees at the moment. Forecast is back to [...]
