Dallas weather sucks!

I know many of you cold weather state living folks will not appreciate how much it sucks down here sometimes...

Picture this...a nice Sunday afternoon, high temperature of about 79 degrees. You may think...is it May? No my friends, its December 14th and I found myself with too many shirts on for comfort as I left the bowling alley Sunday afternoon. I immediately went home and put on a t-shirt and flip flops. It stayed in the 70's until around 10:30pm when, within about an hour and a half, the temperature dropped about 30 degrees into the 40's and just went down from there. By the time I woke up for work Monday morning it was about 29 degrees.

Last night about the time I left work (8pm) it started "raining". I say rain, because it wasn't fully ice yet to be classified as sleet. I hoped and prayed it would keep up all night so we could have a "snow-day" at work and work from home-or sleep all day long. I was fairly surprised, however, that the sand trucks were already out in full effect last night. For once this city was prepared for a weather event!

It should be cold all day today, staying close to freezing, just enough to ice over bridges and overpasses and make people drive like idiots. Hopefully it will warm up just enough that my drive home won't be too bad.

Tomorrow should warm up to the 50's and by this weekend...back in the 70s just to have it all happen again when the temps drop to the 30's on Sunday. It's really no wonder I get some sort of bronchial illness every year down here this time of year.
