Current Texas Weather in The RGV

Nice too know where in Florida she was.

Let’s just test your theory. Today McAllen right now (4:30pm) is 62, low of 49. How many days according to your imperical evidence do you think it will take to get to Fort Myers? Shouldn’t be more then 2 to 3 days right.

My girlfriend froze in Florida for two weeks while I was basking in seventy plus degrees in South Texas. Our warm weather got there about the time she left. If weather does not move in a general west to east direction, somebody better tell the National Weather Service. We have never had a front come to Texas from Florida, but they get lots of our stuff. Price was not the object. She paid three times as much for her fifties than I did for my seventies. Weather is weather. Forty percent chance that they might predict it correctly. About the same accuracy as the contributors on here.

Snowbirding is a lot like fishing. When you find a great spot, you don’t post it on the internet. Why would you unless you want to make people think you’re smarter then the average bear and that they are getting screwed doing what they are doing.

Weather is a funny thing. It really doesn’t go west to east. You got things like mountains, the Gulf Stream, Polar express, and Pineapple Express putting it’s spin on it.

I believe in supply and demand setting a fair market price. Most the time you get what you pay for. Sometimes with a lot of luck and work you find a deal. That’s when you keep it to yourself (just like that hot fishing spot) unless you want the price to go up by driving demand up.

IMO the RGV has great winters 50% of the time. If you’re on a budget no problem. If you can afford more why wouldn’t you. Life’s too short to drink cheap booze.

Not a lot of government parks in South Texas, but hundreds of RV parks. With a couple of exceptions, most have plenty of sites available. Come on down.

We laugh when it is cold in Arizona, but two days later the cold front gets here. Florida brags about their weather and three days later it gets there. January weather in the South will always be "Variable".

My DH retires Jan. 4th and our home goes up for sale the following week. As soon as it sells we will begin our Fulltime journey. We thought we would go down to Florida for about 3 weeks the middle of Jan. but there is nothing available. We are now considering South Texas. Is it hard to get into the state parks or national parks that time of year with out reservations? Thanks Tara

Sunday and Monday will not get out of the fifties. Love the last few days near eighty,

No matter how bad it is in the valley, it's worse at home!

It's been very nice up in the norther midwest area also. I've learned over the years when it's nasty here it's crappy there. When it's pleasant here it's great there.

Big problem is consistency from winter to winter. Might explain the cheaper price.

6 out of the next 10 days in the upper Rio Grande Valley are predicted to be in the low 80s. But we have had one light frost earlier.
