The "Seventh Wave"


Winter storms are rolling across Texas like waves across the sea. It is said that every seventh wave is a big one and surely the one coming next will seem like one of those.

A deep arctic low is forming and will bulge as it races to the south, bring yet another round of plunging temperatures.

In the years I’ve lived in Texas I’ve seen warm winters and cold. The last three years have been really cold and causes one to ask about “global warming?” Some will argue that these extremes are indeed part of the global warming effects, causing wild swings in our climate.
Or...could it be the natural cycle of weather, like the seventh wave...every so often you get a big (read that cold!) one?
