Weather Fronts

Two nights ago Jennifer Broome (our San Antonio Weather lady) had said that we were having a series of weather fronts go through the area, and after the fourth we would notice a significant change in the weather. Well, at about 2:30 a.m. Monday morning, I woke up to hear the wind pounding us from the northwest and got up to close some windows, because we had loose papers on our kitchen table, and they were getting blown everywhere. Job done, back to bed, to hear the start of rain on the roof, and then the storm really hit and lasted till morning. Our motor home took the winds and rain in stride, since we were still parked here in the morning. However, our tent, which I had put up over a table nearby, had collected a bit of rain, and I had to take a broom and help the collected water depart. I picked up our chairs and plants and then decided to put the plants inside, since the chairs and plants kept being tossed about by the wind. Our temperature had gone from about 90 to the 50's. Winter, Texas style, had arrived.

We still managed our morning walk, although it was still very windy, and we needed to put on coats, sweat shirts, and long pants instead of shorts and tee shirts. This weather is supposed to last all week, and we are enjoying the change, since HW2 has been not too happy about weather in the high 80's or low 90's. Now she is very happy. I had to move all my glass-making activity inside because it was too windy to work outside and too cold, too. Best of all we dug out our down comforter, and it has kept us toasty warm for the past two nights.
I think we need to head further south.

PS from HW2: When we got up this morning, it was a chilly 38 degrees here, even though it is supposed to warm up to the low 70's. We seem to change clothes three times a day to accommodate the fluctuating weather! But so much more comfortable, I think! How absolutely delightful to put on jeans and a sweat! YEAH!!!!
