I like living in Texas, except maybe for August...
However, Texas winters are a bit insane.
This week, for example.
Monday they were talking snow or ice storm - we got a bit of ice, but not bad.
We also got over 30 hours of below freezing temperatures.
Tuesday and Wednesday were also both cold, barely getting above freezing. Wednesday the sun was out so we left the dogs out for a few hours.
Thursday we got to 45º F, but it was mostly dark and gloomy.
Then, this coming Saturday - tomorrow if you are reading this 1-20-18 - it is supposed to get to the low 70's F.
Just crazy weather, even for a life long Texan...

I live in Texas also, and it was 13 one day this week and Saturday is the same, in the 70's. Texas weather has always been so crazy.

Well, here in far west TX it's been cold, well, cold for us that is. Generally we don't get the kind of freezing winters that the eastern sections of TX gets nor does it get muggy here, it's usually very dry which makes it easier to breath when it's well over 100.
It's finally going to be 63 today and maybe 68 tomorrow then sunday it's going back down to 52 and it'll be windy. At least we'll have sunshine.

@Spontaneo it was supposed to get to the low 70's, but the sun barely came out and I don't think it made it.

@ElicBxn Today, the sun is shining! Let's make the sun shine EVERY day! I would love to move to a warm climate, but I won't leave my family.
