that's what I was thinking!

We got all the way up to 63º today, they say we might hit 70º tomorrow!

 

I spent the afternoon trying to get rid of some of the pecan tree leaves, I only made a very small dent in them, & I told my wife, "If leaves were worth lots of money we would not have a single leaf."

Ah, but wait, Dave...if it snows in Egypt, could Perth be far behind?

Maybe, but in recorded history it has never happened...

only one place in the whole state regularly gets snow - about three days every four years our highest southern peak gets snow.

every four years is pretty regular - just not very often..... :lol:

Strange things happen once in a while & you can see them if your in the right place at the right time.

 

I recall one afternoon another hand that drove for the same trucking company as I was headed west & we had just gotten off of I-20 onto I-10 out in West Texas late one summer afternoon. It was not a hot summer afternoon which would have been normal for that country at that time of year, it was just under 80º.

 

All of a sudden snow started falling out of the sky, we could not believe it, not this time of year. We talked with some other truck drivers that were east bound on our CB Radio & they said they hit the snow about 5 miles back. Of course it melted as soon as it hit anything. We pulled over on the shoulder & got out enjoying the snow falling standing out beside our trucks. The air felt a bit cool for a summer afternoon in that county & it really felt strange standing out there in short sleeves with snow falling on us & in about 3 to 5 minutes it stopped.

We have had a hail storm here once that left over a foot of hail on the ground all over the place - it Looked like it was covered in snow, but it was hailstones........

[JerryNumbers]

Those hail stones can be bad. One night hail stones about the size of golf balls covered our yard. It sounded like there was many people on top of our house beating on our roof with a ball peen hammer. 

[DaveW]

About two years ago we had a major hailstorm that dented cars all over the city.
The insurance companies went berserk, the repairers could not do all the work, the car yards wrote off thousands of brand new cars and used cars.

You still see hail dented cars driving around. People bought them really cheap from insurance sales.

We don't often have hailstorms here but they do happen.

We've had some good sized hail in storms.  Thankfully, nothing of ours has been damaged in any.  It snowed here again yesterday.  It's very cold. Jerry, I could handle some 60-70° weather!!  Nice for you!

Today we hit 68º, I'm going to be stingy, & try to hold on to it as long as I can!

If it was not 9:58 PM I believe I would have a cup of coffee.

[Miss Daisy]

It's hot chocolate with marshmallows.

[HappyChristian]

It's hot chocolate with marshmallows.

Oh, now that sounds good!  I'm getting ready to fix myself a cup of chai tea.

[JerryNumbers]

UHG! That don't sound so good.

 

Reminded me, I use to know a person when they drank coffee they would empty a package of instant hot chocolate into it.

[HappyChristian]

Oh, yeah, that's good, too!
