What winter in Texas?!?!?

Hard to believe it is the 20th of February and a balmy 72 out there right now! We in the south central region of Texas enjoy a lot of nice weather all year round. Still this is a bit warmer than normal, but why complain?
I talked to friends and family in the northern states and am reminded of things like ice storms that coat the roads, causing a lot of bumps and crunches. The snow is beautiful at the ski resort, but since we don't teach skiing, working here is much nicer.
The golf courses are in great shape, the rivers are flowing (slower than last year, but still flowing) and the wildflowers are just waiting to start their growth.
If you need to take a break from the cold, come on down and visit us. If you like it, you are welcome to stay.
Wow!
