I drove from Brazoria to La Porte at 10 AM this morning. 288 to bw8 to fairmont. Lanes were mostly clear,  l ice still on the sides, a few places in the lane closest to the center had some ice. The merge from 288 to bw8 was the only place I had regrets. Was the weirdest drive I’ve ever had in Houston with all the white everywhere. 
 

I left work about 630p. Roads were clear except an ice cube or 2 against the medians. 
 

I don’t know where you’re looking, but Houston doesn’t show to get below 33. And most of the roads are clear, so even if the temp gets low there isn’t anything to turn to ice. 

I guess Apple Weather updates pretty regularly. Looks like it’s shifted back to a light freeze. Thanks.

Multiple lanes across the Southwest Freeway have been temporarily closed due to damage caused by snowplows that were clearing snow from the roadways.

They should have hired this guy:

I remember when I moved to DFW area from New York after living in NY for 10 years and living with their winters, and I saw all of the raised reflective markers for the yellow and white lanes on roads.   I thought well, they don't have any plows or need for plows here, because a plow would just rip the road apart.  I guess Houston forgot that.

So.....how are the long term forecasts looking for another arctic outbreak?

Because I've got a bunch of goddamned plants in my bathroom that I'd like to get back out on our deck, but can't do so if we're gonna get down into the 20s again in another week or two.

Just dry that shit up and smoke em.

I kid. Yeah, my office looks like a damn botanical garden. Most can go out tomorrow so that is Leg day for me.

The herbs are easy.  My wife's giant lemon tree, which a) produced great lemons this year, so we're happy with it, and b) is already starting to blossom, needs to go outside and get good sun, air, and some sexy group pollinator action.

Mandarin, avocado and olive trees.

Get them out manana. Rain and dappled light is the forecast. Perfect for that transition to Hellfire summer. Of course, they will be coming back in within 10 days.

My Key lime tree needs friends. What variety are your avocado and Mandarin trees? (I assume you need a couple avocado trees to pollinate.)

Hass and forget the Mandarin. I don't grow for fruit, just love plants and grow a lot of odd shit. Starting over. Lost 90% of my plants during the big freeze.
