It's getting hotter in Texas!

Same in Colorado, been crazy high 80's most of the day, but fortunately cools down and we get lot's of rain! Good for the grass, good for keeping the fires down. And, makes it comfortable for sleeping. Just during the day time, you want shorts and sandals and a hat!

Fortunately, no high 90s or 100s unless your in Pueblo.

We've got a snow-blower, but it ain't that big! And when it's light and easy snow, we have a snow plow attached to our John Deer tractor. But that just pushes the snow out of the way rather than chopping it up and throwing it 50 feet to the side.

Yeah, interesting climate on the Front Range..the weather can change very quickly. I lived in Colo Springs 5 years, Denver 6 years (still have a condo there). I remember the huge spring snows, and Denver occasionally would get a run of 100 degree days in July-August. I miss going up into the mountains on the weekends, they are ok in Az, but nicer in Co..

I've found interesting aspects of the various places I've lived over the years...miss the fall colors, rolling hills, great roads but not the humidity and brutal winters of E. Ohio; miss the ocean and breezes of the Florida Keys, but not the humidity and hurricanes; miss the college town environment of Ann Arbor, Mi, but not the humidity and gray winters; miss the big city ambience and amenities of Chicago but not the winters and summers

We were down in Austin the third week of June and the coolest day was 99 degrees. While it was nice to back home so to speak, I had forgot just how hot Texas was in the summer (grew up in the Austin area, but have been here in Northern Michigan since 1987). It did make doing the tourist thing difficult at times. Still, if things go right, we'll be calling Austin home this fall. As for the Great White North, it has been below average temperature wise all summer with exception of a few days here and there. Hell, the first back from Texas it was 69 degrees here with a bit of a chilly wind. The 4th of July was the same thing.

Cheers,

Albert

I recommend Texas to all of you. Very little snow, few ice storms, though I am convinced the "snowbirds" have the right idea. They haul their travel trailers down to South Texas in October and miss the winter snow in the midwest, then go back North in April to avoid the Texas summer heat. I don't know how you would do that with kids and jobs, but it sounds good to me!

Years ago on 'Fernwood Tonight', there was a guest touting his own 'Mobile Home Community'. People with RV's would travel in huge groups, never stopping, being fueled by huge tankers on the go (think in- flight refueling rigs for B- 52's), with escort cars handing out packets of Dramamine to the 'residents'.

I grew up RVing...as a kid, my folks always had motorhomes..we would take road trips in the summer and use it to drive between our Ohio home and our Florida home. Lots of fun, rolling down the highway in a Winnebago.
