Anywhere from 30 to 40 hard freezes a year, don't you know. But the corrupt Austin City Council spends millions in advertising dollars to the weatherman so that when it does freeze they don't report it, they have the AMA in their back pocket you know. Also, don't get me started on all the faulty thermometers that the Austin City council pays to have shipped to Austin so that people can't accurately gauge the temperature themselves in their own backyards. Why, my prius has a built in thermometer in it that I am sure doesn't tell accurate temperature thanks to the machinations of the Austin City council. Now, I am not saying that the Austin City council paid toyota to install bad thermometers in every Prius sent to Austin, that's just silly. What they do is hire people to go into every driveway and garage in Austin looking for Prius's and reprogramming the thermometers!!!

Also, the Austin City council uses their demonic energy to block out the sun during the winter so that Austin receives colder than normal temperatures as compared to the rest of Texas. That's why it freezes so much.

It's a conspiracy I tell you!!!! A conspiracy!

You are corrcet sir! Not only is it a FACT that Austins both teh hottest and coldest city anywhere on earyth but it is a FACT that over half a million preople die from heat and cold there every week. And its really not a city - more like a small town with one taco wagon and 800,000 people throwing up on the one street is the only entertainment. And also it is also entirely in blackand white, because the city has outlawed every color except orange!!!!! I have lived in and travelled to literallyu every other city on the planet and IT IS A FACT THAT NOTHING IS AS BAD AS AUSTIIN!!!!! But when I point out these FACTS to teh local hillbillies, theyre Austitinitude juimps up and their all like "no no no no no no no, everything is perfect"!!!!!!!!!! Maybe if they ever got out theyed see that what i am saying is true FACTS. I would NEVER live in Austin, plus they hate blacks and gays there and I should know because Im not black or gay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In avery ranch?

What is your definition of a "hard freeze" and "light freeze"? One would think that for a "freeze" to occur, the temperature would have to drop...you know...below freezing? But given your posts in the past I don't like to make assumptions about your thought process.

To clarify, You are saying that there are 40 days out of the year, at your house, that temperatures drop below 32 degrees Farenheit and stay that way for an extended period of time?

And like all of your FACTOIDS, I am sure you have absolutely no proof to back up this statement, am I right?

Average Weather for Austin, TX - Temperature and Precipitation

http://www.zanthan.com/gardens/gardenlog/?p=2179

In the last 14 years, Austin has never had more than 17 days in a year with freezing temperatures, and in some of those years there were only 3 or 4 days with freezing temperatures....


You know, nevermind...I am not going to let you trap me in this little game you play.

I believe it. Not just because we all know that eepstein doesn't lie about things just to be disagreeable and negative, but also because it's a fact that there were over 1,600 hard freezes at my house last year, and just under 85,000 soft freezes.

Need actual proof? Okay, I'll repeat it in color and bold, slightly reword it and use an emoticon to show that it's a fact. I don't see how anyone would need any more proof than that that it's a fact! Last year at my house, I measured about 85,000 soft freezes and more than 1,600 hard freezes.
