The weekend is hot as well!

Nearest cooler temperatures are near 14-16 of August. That seems miles away right now!

2011 was my first year here. Arrived just before the big ice storm, then got to endure That Summer. Yeah, welcome to Texas.

Ah, temps are temps... It's RAIN I'm looking for!! As "lake people" (still own 2 boats on a lake near our former home in SC), we're just PRAYING for enough rain to bring these shallow N Texas lakes back up! Would love to feel comfortable boating on & enjoying these beautiful lakes nearby! Ironically, the lake back in SC is ABOVE full pool right now! Grrrr...

I moved from Chicago. 25 in February is a WARM day.

And frankly, I'd LOVE to see snow. My daughter and her stuffed snowman miss it, and since the whole city shuts down when more than ten flakes hit the ground, it would be a vacation day for me.

So, to answer your question, YES!

And yeah, I realize I'm in the wrong state...
