(16,869 posts)That cold front that brought the cold weather to Texas just blew in yesterday afternoon here in Biloxi. It's about 40 degrees out there now, but it's very windy, so it feels much colder. Brrrrr.

I will take them out in a few minutes. They are big labs and need their morning walk (jog) around the neighborhood). Normal schedule is to go out at about 5:45 am.
It is 44 degrees. Not nearly as cold as I experienced growing up in the midwest but we aren't used to it down here on the coast (we're in the suburbs south of Houston).
sweet friendly dogs.
That is freezing in my books.

(135,060 posts)And my dog is whining to go out. Yesterday I took him while there was a break in the downpour only to get drenched the last 5 minutes.

(32,196 posts)earlier this fall I take an umbrella if it's overcast - no matter what Science Guy says. My arthritis is a little more accurate than he is.

TBF
(32,196 posts)Even though I'm originally from Wisconsin I never visit in the winter. The first time my daughter saw snow was in Amarillo. We were staying at the Holiday Inn -on our way to Colorado Springs. It turned out we saw more snow in Amarillo than in the Springs!

(110,159 posts)on the snow. but none of that matters cause it is all in the storms that come across. or up and down. one never knows. weather wise, this has been an interesting place to live

for Wendy Davis yesterday, though.
I made quite a few calls, and got three hits, all positive!
Go Battleground Texas!

(28,299 posts)On an LBN thread about Texas weather this morning, somebody from Ohio gloating that "Hell has frozen over." Never make the mistake of overestimating the class of our Texas Haters......

(41,694 posts)It's HELL even without the freezing every winter. That's why I left as soon as I could.

(1,404 posts)I don't think we've had such an extended cool period in the previous two winters (they say at least 2 more days), temps day and night in the 40s. On the bright side we're over 4 inches of rain, with more promised. Nothing lower than 40 progged at night so no need to take drastic measures. It just sucks though when you're used to living 10 months in shorts without having to worry about your wardrobe. Can't believe it was 88 two days ago, oh how I miss it already.

(269,505 posts)Ah well I too will have to face the cold and snow later this week.

(2,289 posts)It is wonderful!
Finally a day that has no sun and is getting cold!
If I didn't have my daily migraine I would be out playing!
It has been a long time since I could turn the AC off and open the windows. I'm loving this (like a wolf with a favorite bone )
I really wish I wasn't financially tied to this place. I'd leave in a heart beat and head someplace like this year-round. (Cool-cold sunny days would be acceptable since I'm more of a night person. Sun and my migraines don't mix )
If only I could turn my bedroom into something this:
