It's been easy this year to give fellow Snowbirders a hard time in the RGV about the "good" weather. Some must work for the CofC posting it's 70 degrees and sunny when it was actually 50 and raining making it easy to post "you need to get out from under the sun lamp". On Jan 1..."14 seasons here (RGV) I have already worn long pants more than any other Winter".
While there have been many days when the RGV's highs have been lower than our lows in WPB and normally you can count on one hand the number of overcast/rain days we are going to need both hands and feet. Normally we can go a month without any rain...not this winter.
*At the top of the snowbird section is an easy "clicky" to see what's going on in the four snowbird areas. I follow Joe Bastardy at www.wearherbell.com who puts out a winter weather forecast in September that has been very accurate making it possible to change areas if you are flexible. This winter using his forecast you would have headed to AZ or CA and then FL with TX in last place.
