Not scenic or artistic, just what greeted me this morning on our weather station readout. If you didn’t see this today, I envy you for your warm weather.

Lucky you. We weren’t too bad, temperature-wise until last week when a high pressure area made the temps take a dive. Guess we’ll have to wait until April for the nice warm temperatures again.

I've been out in weather that cold and colder as I'm sure you have also and one can dress for it as long as there is no wind. A strong wind with that temperature would be brutal.

We wake up to 65 here in Texas. That’s too cold for me. Will be 80 this afternoon. I got chills just looking at that number on your thermometer. I’ve been to wasilla but in late July

That’s one of the nice things about being retired—you don’t have to go out in that unless it’s REALLY important!

When you live in a place where it’s warm all the time, I suppose 65 would seem chilly. For us, 65 is a very pleasant temperature. Perfect motorcycle riding temperature.
We lived in Houston for a couple years after I got out of the army. I was a firefight for the Houston Fire Department. I wasn’t used to that kind of temperatures and humidity. I think it was even worse than Vietnam.

Heh, heh, Montana has a reputation for nasty winter weather.

When you grow up in Houston area you dont understand the word humidity
As a kid we only had an attic fans and widows stayed open. I remember my leather shoes I hadn’t worn for a wild turned green from mold. Fast forward 35 years. Wife and I lived in Las Vegas for a few years. She certainly knows what dry and humidity is now
However when I finally did retire after 40. She says she doesn’t want to live north of interstate 10

Makes me think of a student from Macallan down in “the valley”who I met when I started teaching at A&M. He asked where I was from and I told him New York. “Oh, I could never live up North! Visied my uncle once for Christmas and it was all snow and ice.”
“Where’s your Uncle?” I asked him...
“Dallas”
Thought you’d enjoy that!
