Nary a hair out of place for me.
But then I did have a hat on.

It's because I'm not a boxing fan. I can leave my Hatton.

Yep, school started 2 hours late today, and it's supposed to freeze/sleet again tonight.

That's the problem with Texas winters, it doesn't get cold enough to freeze the moisture up in the clouds and make it snow like in truly cold states. It just gets barely cold enough to freeze a thick coat of ice over everything, which ends up being more dangerous since you can't just shove it off the roads like you can with snow.

Dallas was the place where I first heard the phrase "fender-bender weather"

Geeez, high 20's now, but low teens tonight and maybe single digits tomorrow night.

I usually tell people PDX and the Willamette Valley have mild temps,
but these are extraordinary.
We will let the faucets drip a little to (hopefully) keep pipes from freezing.

Brrr....

It was just in the high 70's a few days ago and now it's about 34 degrees. I wish I could drink some hot cocoa and snuggle under the fleece blanket and watch a movie.

You must have left it in your other pants--which you left here in Texas, apparently. Please come and collect them immediately, they're kind of bumming us all out. But on the plus side, it does give me an excuse to wear my fancy knee-high boots.

They said flurries, followed by a little sleet, then rain.
They said.

PDX had record lows over the weekend, but starting to warm up now

My wife and I spent the weekend at the Oregon coast in the Port of Garibaldi
... a fishing port and lumber mill since the earliest days of Oregon
when there were no roads through the forests.

We almost missed this sunrise, but opened the window blinds just in time.

Then last evening at dinner, as the sun went beyond the ocean horizon,
the sunset was spectacular, and I went out to the car to get my camera.
I had left it at the motel.

So you'll just have to imagine what that sunset was like.
