Default Does it do anything but rain in Texas?
Just got back from three days in San Antonio on Friday night
Almost constant rain. Reading about other areas of Texas and it is the same thing
Last year the same meeting was in Houston and it rained the entire time we were there
What's up down there?

Texas now has a Monsoon season!


Last 2-3 yrs it has rained heavy Mar, Apr, or May.

Then drought the rest of the summer.

They said it was gonna be a wet winner. It was not. El Nino delayed until spring for Monsoon season!

All the complaints about low water at Lake Travis are finally being responded to.

Once it is beyond full, we'll go back to our regularly scheduled droughts.

The last time I was at The Oasis there was an island in the middle of Lake Travis, with grass on it. I guess that's back underwater, finally.

They also grow bugs as big as your head and mosquitos that will carry children away. So, there's that.

Mosquitoes have their own festival here in Texas:

We've had two days of high 90's in Portland. Can we send that weather back to Texas?

I think it would set a bad precedent. If we took your weather, next thing, you'd be trying to send us a bunch of emo millenial crybabies. Hmm, maybe we could negotiate an exchange for a bunch of illegals.

The Skinnyjeans Hipsters from Portland would be right at home in Austin. They do serve Pabst Blue Ribbon in Austin, right?

How's their supply of micro-brews though? And strip clubs? Portland leads the nation per capita in both categories.

I cut my grass yesterday, which is now swampland. The ground is not absorbing any more water.
