This is MARCH?!??

Poem Artwork

... nearly 80 degrees of separation
between the highest temperature
and the lowest in the state -- 100
degrees in Brownsville, 22 in
Amarillo.  In between it all, severe
storms!  Blizzards!!  Wind!!!  A
l o t of that.  Front blew in and in
three hours, the temperatures
dropped 27 degrees:  from 69 to
42.  No, make that 40.  This is nuts
-- after the tornadoes to our north
last night, snow may accumulate
to a couple of inches along the
damage path.  (Thank God no
major injury or deaths.)  We might
get a flurry or two here!  Spring in
Texas.  Gotta love it.  Never dull.
And the temperature now?  39.2 !!

I like the weather not being boring as well, Karla; although I do like it to "keep a lid on things." Spring is surely slow in coming here. Thanks. Love and best wishes,

Regis

Karla,
And here was I thinking Ireland (when I lived there) was the only place with four seasons in the one day...and to accompany it all, a fantastic pic!

That dimpled sky photo is amazing! The weather this year sure has been crazy! Two days ago we started the day with gorgeous clear skies...an hour later it snowed, then hailed, then snowed, then cleared up. That evening within a 15 minute span in time it went from cloudy and slightly overcast to blizzard like conditions...visibility was less than 1/8 of a mile and we ended up with 3 inches of snow. CRAZY!!! Hope clear skies come your way soon...but I love the photos you take when it is cloudy...hee, hee...

Yikes and gazooks.... global warming is a bit of a misnomer. Yes the temp is up on average a couple of degrees since the 60's but what it really means is that we can expect severe fluctuations in weather patterns. You have captured this very well both in pic and in verse. Well done. Hugs, J'nia

What a picture!! It looks like the heavens have erupted like a volcano in storm lava. I think I'd be scared if I saw clouds like that above my head. I'm beginning to understand why you are keyed in to the weather--when you have to live with such unpredictable storms all the time, how can you avoid thinking about it? Blessngs.

Yep, that is what happens when people try to eradicate global warming. We go into an ice age, which is much worse than a little warmth. ~ Sara

Haven't you got yet the news about the Global Warming? For the past years they said that we are sweating like crazies, I haven't seeing one yet! An inconvenient truth...my foot! ! !

March Madness, indeed. We had 60 Lovely Degrees a few days ago - now they tell us 8 inches of snow are on the way - I knew I put away those snow shovels too soon.

Isn't Mother Nature playing with us all. Today in Connecticut it was 68
and yesterday the high was 38. There is some crazy stuff going on that is for sure.
Keep on hanging in there, great informational poem, Karla

Gotta love it is RIGHT! And didn't you just love that sky the other day (NOT!)? WILD!! Don't understand how people here say, "You'll get used to the weather." HOW?? Wait five minutes; it'll change! That much, I've learned! LOL Great write of ever changing, fickle weather patterns and skies that clearly define Texas! Well done; brava, Karla!
