Del Rio set a new record high for this day

These past two weeks have been a roller coaster ride weather-wise. From freezing temperatures, fog, strong wind gusts, and gray days, to unusually warm days this early in the year. Today Wednesday, February 15th we set a new record high...we reached 95 degrees...and we were not even the hot spot...that honor went to Cotulla, Texas which recorded a temperature of 96 degrees! Not only was it the hot spot in Texas it was the hottest temperature recorded today in the United States.

The Texas Panhandle had snow while in the Dallas metro area, they had strong storms. The only thing we have not received is RAIN and we desperately need it. Later this evening or in the early morning hours a cold front will make its presence felt.

Per the weather channel, this front and accompanying bad weather is heading east...bundle up!

Good night.  May you all have Terlingua Dreams.

On the first day of 2022 we set a new all time record high

I was outside since early morning raking, picking up trash, hanging clothes, and ironically preparing for the frigid temperatures this evening would bring, and frankly, it got rather warm.  I would later learn that Del Rio set a new all-time record high when it reached 89 degrees this afternoon.

Even at 10:01 p.m. this evening it was a warm 74 degrees in comparison to other parts of Texas where the cold front had already passed.

Today I made another trip to Stripes to pick up some dinner plates. I had never seen shrimp cooked like this so picked one up with a side of red rice and beans, and a flour tortilla...

Along with half a chicken plate with red rice, green beans, and its accompanying flour tortilla...

I have no idea why the food pictures are looking so tiny...😕...BTW all lunch and dinner plates cost $5.99 plus tax much cheaper and healthier than a greasy hamburger and I do not have to drive to the north part of town to get it.

Good night.  May you all have Terlingua Dreams.

A 91 degree Winter Day...UPDATED

The weather forecasters have been saying that today (Thursday) would be a warm day in Texas...but we know that weather persons do not always get it right. This morning it was foggy, gray, and cool as I went outside to feed my boys. The sun made an appearance at exactly noon but only for two minutes so I pretty much decided the warm forecast would not come to pass.

Around two o'clock the sun finally came out and it got warmer so decided to handwash one of my winter jackets and put the sun to good use. Then the winds started and while it aided in the drying process it did not feel as warm.  It was therefore surprising when the 4:00 p.m. News said it was 91 degrees in Del Rio tied with Laredo, Texas as the state hotspots.

Went back outside to see if it really felt that high...and yep, it did...thankfully, it will be back in the '70s for the next few days as I am not ready for hot temperatures just yet.

Good night.  May you all have Terlingua Dreams.

UPDATED

I was watching San Antonio's KSAT-12 News at Noon today when they mentioned that Del Rio set a new record high for the day when it reached 92 degrees yesterday.  Sorry Laredo, we were the state's hotspot yesterday :)
