Like huge gray battleships the weather fronts have come, cannons blazing, pounding ashore. Many of the winter storms rolling across Texas start way out in the Pacific and gathering strength they come...dumping torrential rains and snows on the west coast before heading for Texas.
Somewhat depleted, they reach Houston and the Gulf Coast where they pick up additional moisture from the Gulf of Mexico and, re-energized, head up the east coast. One after another, like the endless waves of the sea, they roll across the country.
What a winter!
Last summer we were experiencing the worst drought in years with record high temperatures...now records lows and a lot of rain.
We have had measurable snows for two years in a row!
With long periods of rain we have reduced the drought in most of the state...good news you say. Well yes, however, the grey skies and rain do make one wish for warmer dryer days (I suppose I’ll complain about that next).
But that’s another posting.
