OOPS! I forgot to have a Hot Girl Summer!

It's cool outside this week, but soon we'll have an Indian Summer, so I'm crossing my fingers!

#atxwx

I wore jeans tonight for the first time since May. Y'all, autumn is finally f'n here.

Texas sky update.

Jesus Herbert Walker Christ, who do we have to sacrifice to get any rain here in #Austin? We offered up Ken Paxton, but the sky god spat him out. We're at a loss here.

#ATXWX

Damp and dewey Friday morning as thousands of Austinites remember how to drive in the rain. Or not.

#Atxwx #AustinTX

Texas sky update. Rain! Lightning!

Texas sky update. An actual burst of rain!
#Atxwx

It's a little warm out there. Y'all keep it coolin'.
#atxwx

The sky is a sickly shade of powder blue, like a Nudie Suit, from the Saharan dust plume. The water tastes of zebra mussels. Someone obviously messed with Texas. I want them found and brought to me.

This weather's nice, but it's right on the edge of nice. We're between firefly season and squished frog season. #atxwx

I tell you, it was an absolute delight to wake up this morning to the sound of rain thrumming on the roof. We really need it. So nice.

#atxwx #austintx

Shore is windy out thar, tell y'all whut. Swear I saw Bevo flyin' like a glider with all that wind under his horns. Beats all I ever saw. #atxwx

It's been getting pretty warm in #Austin for the past few weeks, EXCEPT TODAY OMG. That polar vortex broke containment and touched us with its frigidly appendage, dumping all the humidity in the air onto our heads. Wow.

I mean, I guess it's good we finally got rain, but it's miserable outside. And apparently I love misery because I sat out there for hours.

It's nice to be indoors again, damn.

#atxwx

Cold enough again to require my thermal layers. Cool. #atxwx

Happy High UV Index Season to those who celebrate. Check the expiration date on your tube of sunblock.

#atxwx #AustinTX

Remember 4 days ago when the weather in #Austin was trying to kill us dead? Certainly is nice out today! Cool and sunny, and there's still ice in the shadows.

Austin ISD is closed tomorrow. #SleepInSunday is now also #SleepInMonday. #atx #atxwx

Thundermix in Austin (Mueller) right now. Thunder with a wintery mix of freezing rain and sleet. #atxwx

On days like today, I'm glad that I've had a few years of #FieldDay practice and the equipment to at least charge my phone, run some lights, and power some devices completely from battery if the power goes out. It's no genset, but it'll do in a pinch. Hopefully we're not pinched.

I guess it's time to dig my ice scrapers out. Last time I bought one, the checkout kid laughed with their bagger, "Hey, when's the last time you seen one of these?" I'm like, hey, I'm being prepared, son.

I went shopping for my french toast supplies last night BEFORE the NWS warned about extreme winter weather this weekend. There's a reason I have this merit badge.

#Texas weather is as inconsistent as the news. I'd like my four seasons to be separated by months, not days. #atxwx

"Ugh, why are my eyes burning and why is my nose slammed shut?" [reads allergy forecast, sees Cedar is at 1639 gr/m³] "Oh."

#atxwx #texas

#atxwx Welp, it was nice wearing shorts for one more day, but now we're on that long sliiiide from the 80's this afternoon into the 30's by Monday morning. Woosh. Watch those campfires, y'all. Fire weather warning.

Let me just say that, after months of drought and knowing that we'd finally have so much rain tonight that I should pack an umbrella for my run home (and that I'd actually use it!), that's it's absolutely WONDERFUL to hear the thrum of rain on my roof. We are sooo behind on rainfall. (The thunder sounds great, too, despite what it's doing to my UPS relays.)

#atxwx

This stupid airborne mold has my sinuses slammed shut. Ugh. Couldn't use my #CPAP last night, so I had the worst night of sleep. Just the worst. But hey, no time for that now. #RTO says I gotta go to work today.

#atxwx

Who was the brilliant genius #galacticbrain who parked his car in the lowest spot in the parking lot last night during a #rainstorm and woke up to a 5cm moat the next afternoon? Was it me? I bet it was me. (Hint: it was me)

My leather sneakers weren't tall enough. Had to go back and change into hiking boots and climb in thru the passenger side!

@ai6yr San Gabriel River picked up a lot of the water that fell overnight. Looks like the gauge in Georgetown, TX has gone down, but they're in a major flood stage now (max projected at 1pm CDT) as the flood wave moves through.

Good solid rain coming down. Not windy, so I get to enjoy it from the catio. The birds don’t seem to mind lighter rain, but this is heavy enough that they’ve all retreated under cover. #atxwx

Every morning, I turn on my weather radio for a short bit just to hear the friendly generated voice of the National Weather Service -- and to make sure it hasn't been defunded. Some people might not know it's there, but it serves a great purpose for those who do.

Just looking at that snow and ice on the ground, and I'm doing that risk assessment regarding driving to work. Suppose I should grab the laptop and login to see what the office is advising before heading downhill and across bridges. Somebody's gotta put their hands on stuff in the lab today, but I hope it ain't me.

#winter #atxwx

Looks like we got about an inch of snow here in SW Austin. #atxwx

Felt cute. Might freeze my ass off later.

#atxwx

#Austin ISD cancelled classes on Tuesday in anticipation of very high probability of freezing precipitation and low temperatures. Four-day weekend activated. #atx #atxwx
