Winter has visited the Rio Grande Valley! It has been cold here for the last three days. Yesterday it never went above freezing the high was 28°, on Wednesday it was 34°. The lows have been around 26° for the last three nights, then to top it off it started raining yesterday afternoon so this morning we woke up to scenes like this.
And this.
Harold and Pam’s dog Katie (she’s so cute), had to look out the window, to see what was going on.
This is very uncommon weather for this area, lots of accidents, schools closed, the main highway is closed, and groceries are selling out. Lots of homes around here don’t have heating systems, so they are using portable electric heaters and it is causing power shortages and they are imposing rolling blackouts.
We had signed up for a bus trip up to the King Ranch that was scheduled for Thursday but it was delayed to Tuesday next week. The good news is that the temperatures are supposed to be back up into the 70°’s by Sunday.
Last Sunday it was in the 80°’s, and we took a trip the the Island (South Padre Island), and enjoyed sitting on the jetty reading our books and watching the water scenes.
Well it’s going to be another day waiting for the return of the normally great south Texas weather.
More Later,
Rich
