Cold weather from Canada has settled over Texas.... giving the northern part of the state lots of ice, and giving us in the Hill Country lots of wind and rain. Totally stupid weather. It was nearly 80 degrees less than ten days ago. I hate the winter months of the year, just because of the unpredictable weather patterns that can fly across the state and leave us thinking we've all died and gone north.
When we first moved to this state in 1993, the 'winter' temperatures were cool at best, not even close to being so frigid and cold. Wearing a light blazer or a sweater in December or January was normal, and that's only when the temperature dared to touch 65 degrees. Tonight, the weather wizards are telling us the temperatures will be going down below 40. Ouch. That's cold.
We went out today and bought a space heater for the garage. Our outside cat Mickey sleeps in that garage at night, and even though I have a soft and comfy warm bed in there for him, I still don't want his whiskers twitching in the cold. So we got a safe and solid heater, and the garage is warmer now than it was without it. I hate having Mickey as an outside cat, but his indoor-kitty-behavior hasn't been the best since the Spring-time, and that's when we relegated him to the outside. He loves it, I hate it, so I'm just trying to keep him as comfortable as possible out there till the weather returns to warmer Texas temperatures.
Totally stupid weather, and very un-Texas-like, at least for this part of the state.
