Yep, and the roads are bad shape as well.
AJ,
This summer's forecast will be HUGE skeeters, ticks and HIGH HUMIDITY to top the list of things to "love" about East Texas!!
By the end of Feb, anything above -10°C is hoodie weather, -15°C add puffy vest, -20°C auto start the truck.AJ01 wrote: ↑Sun Feb 27, 2022 11:28 amThis summer's forecast will be HUGE skeeters, ticks and HIGH HUMIDITY to top the list of things to "love" about East Texas!!![]()

And that stretch of 100-degree days with no rain in sight! And then the ground dries out and crack opens open so deep a Tumble Bug can't roll a decent cow pie biscuit across the field cause he's afraid he'll drop in there and not be able to get out!!![]()
Not to mention the "Nodding Thistles" that try to take over the hay fields every stinking year!!!![]()
And speaking of hay fields, when it starts to green up the hogs decide to party all across the hay fields. There are so many craters in those fields it's like driving around the city of Beirut!! You can lose a tractor in some of those things!!![]()
OH!!!! And did I mention FIRE Ants that come out of a winter slumber and want to BITE anything that gets within 100 yards of them??
And then if you suffer from allergies, there is enough Pine pollen floating thru the air to paint your house yellow!! Thank You Lord of all the huge Pines, but...I could have done without all that blasted pollen!!
AH YES! The joys of living in East Texas. I will say this...I'm just glad I don't live in west Texas!!!
Y'all stay warm and dry out there in Blizzard Land!!![]()
That's funny, I was at the Toronto Zoo a few years ago in August and it was around 30-35°C and the people in the audience were vocalizing their concern for the Lions and Rinos being out in the heat with no shade.
