The last half of January and the first half of February is the busiest time of year for the Winter Texans in the RGV. Now that it is just about over, what have you noticed about the raw numbers compared to past years? Here are mine: RV Park fullness 8 out of 10. Age of park residents, 10 out of 10.Attendance at dances, flea markets, etc. 7 out of 10. Traffic 9 out of 10. Politeness, 4 out of 10.Weather, 4 out of 10.

I agree... except for politeness 6 out of 10weather..last winter.. 6 (30 pound ) tanks of propane for 5 monthsthis winter.. 11 tanks of propane for 3 months... with 2 months to go.yes, I use a spreadsheet(s).. electric is up 20 percent in usage .. but not per hour price.motorcycle use and miles traveled are also way down..

Politeness of locals a 10, some of the older gringo Winter Texans not so much. The cool winter must be making them crabby.

You would understand my low score for politeness.No, we shop at a Walmart Marketplace store on Bryant Rd. They rate a 10 except they are often short staffed. Used to shop the HEB Plus on Shary Rd. They also rated a 10 but only there a couple times this season. Hope your HEB is not setting downhill trend in the HEB customer service department Valley wide.

[Pawatt] Here are mine: We are an ownership park, out of 424 lots we only have 3 or 4 vacant. RV Park fullness 10 out of 10. Age of park residents, 8 out of 10. We have several new couples this year in their late 50's to mid 60'sAttendance at dances, flea markets, etc. 10 out of 10. For the Rock N Roll dances. 7 out of 10 for Country dances. Traffic 9 out of 10. There are some crazy drivers out there and also some that can't see. Someone backed into my golf cart yesterday. Politeness, 9 out of 10 locals. 7 out of 10 for the over 70 Winter Texan Crowd.Weather, 4 out of 10. Worst weather in our 14 seasons south
