re: #178 cliffster

Happy 2010 all! Supposed to get down to 16 degrees in Austin later this week. We’re just not built for that sort of thing around here.

I was in Houston between 84-89, can’t remember which year (closer to 89) and it was below freezing for 2-3 weeks or more, there was a 6 month wait for certain plumbing work.

It happens.

I’ve lived from the East Coast to the West and I have seen winters (and summers) like this before… I’ve seen blizzards in NYC, I’ve seen hurricanes in NYC, I’ve seen tornados in Northern New Jersey and tornados in Dec. in Dallas.

Any time I see this figure or that figure, I check the stats. A few weeks ago when the East had that “blizzard,” I checked the temp stats for Philadelphia, not unusual.

Weather happens.
