Anyother Snowbirds/Winter Texans In a Weather Hold

We have been sitting for 2 days in a LA SP and hope to be able to move in another day right in the middle of the Turkey day rush :(
  • Traveled in rain all day yesterday after a breezy overcast Sunday when we left the Baton Rouge area. This morning I awoke to the sound of no rain, at a very nice city park north of Sinton Texas on US181. Rob and Bessie Welder RV Park has paved roads and sites, full hookups with some pull throughs. So today my Delorme Street Atlas informs me of 171 miles until we park Phaeton Place in Mission for 4 months. My only request, is that someone turn up the heat..it was 80-85 in the Everglades when we left Sunday a week ago.
  • The warmest cities (higest average annual) in the usa with a population of 50k or more:

    -the warmest of the 101 us cities are in florida (the top most 37 all in florida);
    -hawaii only makes the list from 38 onward;
    -the next warmest by region is idnio, california (north of borrego desert);
    -the next warmest by region is pharr, texas (and the other cities in rgv);
    -the next warmest is havasu, arizona;
    -yuma, arizona is way down the list at 78 in the among the coolest of the warmest;
    -tucson is the 4th coolest at #98

    *remember, these are the warmest cities with population of 50,000 or more in the us; data by nws (national weather service); the spread between warmest and coolest is only 8.2f these rankings change every year, of course
  • Yes winter Texans, this could be one of our crappy winters. It is very early for it to be this cold and rainy. We are hoping it is not a sign of things to come like 2 winters ago when we froze our nah nahs off for most of the winter. Oh well the propane guys are happy....and yeah, hope there are lots of theaters in the Valley......But Hey it's Texas, you can't predict the weather here....lol lol lol
  • ...and can you imagine that we are still quite far from winter (dec 21st or so) !!!

    I wonder what the real winter season has in store for us in 2014 ???

    It was +3f here this morning, with a -16f wind chill ( 70 miles se of montreal)
  • "Supposed" to be warm again this weekend. If you are in an interesting place, I would stay a few more days. Calling for 40 degrees Tues and Wed nights in McAllen, Texas. This area is designed for outdoor living and it is cold outside.
  • We have been sitting in Fort Stockton for 3 days now.
    Finally sunny and bright this AM. So we will be leaving this AM
  • Got trailer fever so DW and I went to see "Last Vegas." Movie house was full of other Winter Texans and we all had a good laugh or two during the show.

    Sit tight, wait it out, go to the movies.
  • You are not missing anything here in the valley, 42 degrees and drizzle. Good luck.

    dreamer.
