If you do, there's a nurse in the Mays building, floor two (bladder cancer) who is a veritable goddess. Fair skin, raven-black hair, shoulder tats, and the perkiest set of tits I've ever seen. When we were on the elevator I told my mom “if I wasn't married I’d dedicate my life to making her mine.” she's probably married to a surgeon or something.

Pass this around to your out-of-state or East Texas relatives

 

Muleshoe eh?  I can smell that picture from here.

Actually here's the ironic thing... this is a winter barn in the alps.  Right in the middle of town.  It smells like Muleshoe.

Hi again, okay, latest weather "crisis":

- Cold air plows thru Sat. evening. Coldest of year. However, dry air = low overnights but warmup enough to > freezing by afternoons. NOT a 24/7 freeze, i.e. not a big concern. Dry 75% of this spell to boot and the wet part, meh (for ATX).
- Storm sliding Mon-Tue across above TX is too dry to whip up a lot of moisture. However it'll pull moisture in S/SE of us, from the Gulf, which will override wedge of cold air. But this largely isn't gonna make it up inland to ATX, simply not the energy to get it here.
- Since layers above are cold, more likely snow than anything else for the coast mainly - however could be a very thin band of sleet/freezing rain, not enough to be a regional concern, more just spotty between the coast and ATX.
- This is a fairly unusual situation that the storm will generate more along the coast, not inland (since that's where the moisture is). Think of it as winter version of "coastal showers". Therefore Houston and coastal cities might get a good bit of snow, maybe 4-6 inches - the farther NE you go up the coast the more accumulation. This type of situation happens all the time on the Atlantic coast, which is when D.C., NYC, and Boston usually get their huge snowfalls. A mini-version for us here next Tues or so - we get little/nothing inland but the coast gets more - not too frequent in TX.
- Austin at most will get a light shot of snow overnight Mon intu Tues, but we're talking a dusting to an inch (more eastern counties, less towards hill country). Not really any big deal, maybe Tues rush a bit snaky, clear up and be normal by afternoon. Right now forecasts are for .01ish in ATX. Yawn. Meh. Cold enough to snow but we're too far NW of the coastal moisture on this one. Maybe pea-sized snowman for your front lawn.
- Anyone even mentioning '21 with this needs a new pasttime. That isn't gonna happen in the rest of your lifetime, nor your kids', nor their kids. 6-10 days of below zero night/day with 3-4 winter precit events? I laugh. Amen.

Have fun with pea-shooting snowballs at each other. Houston? Stay off the roads, you can't drive in .00004 of snow never mind 4-6 inches. Panic instead and buy everything out of the supermarkets because otherwise you might die.

My kids also love Houston and Dallas.  They'd been asking to go to Houston for the long weekend since we got back from Christmas break.  That was before it was supposed to snow there.  They've turned that pressure up since then.

Mrs. CHIEF's boss has been taking classes on motivational techniques, cutting costs, and business efficiency. He decided to have a mandatory meeting, in Houston, scheduled for this Tuesday. He, of course, scheduled it about three weeks ago. In his newfound exuberance, he has decided not to cancel it.

Mrs. CHIEF, in her passive aggressive manner, decided she wasn't driving, along with my niece that works for the company. Instead, they would fly roundtrip from DFW into Hobby and back. So, she is spending over $1000 to go to Houston for a one hour meeting on motivation, cutting costs, and business efficiency. She is booking a five star hotel for the one night as well, in the middle of a snowstorm that could knock power out.

Boss, I was told by a PhD at the Surly Weather Channel that it's gonna get pretty bad. I won't be in on Tuesday.

When I talk weather with my wife she asks, what did that damn UT site say? So I tell her the range of forecasts and her answer is So they still don't know shit.

She is a smart one.

Heh, my kids don't actually have any particular affinity for Houston or Dallas, they're just jealous of the snow. :)

Well that's not entirely true, they equate Dallas with the State Fair and TX-OU weekend, so they love it for that.  They've only been to Houston a couple of times but on one of those trips, we took them to NASA, and my aerospace engineer friend who works there, got us onto the actual floor of Mission Control and they got to chat with the Flight Director, so they think that's really cool, too.

Otherwise they love the Austin area and prefer it.  That is, until... Snow Day.

Take em to the rodeo! It's like the State Fair with better music.  My kids love Houston food but it also helps they have cousins there.
