Same down here in South Padre Island, Mack, where we have been since Halloween arrival. We will be here until March 1. Last year and this year we have been in a ground floor condo in a multi-unit high-rise condo complex. We are in one of the older condo complexes on the island, and in previous years on higher floors the wind just whistled through those uninsulated units bringing both cold winds and noise, and in one unit, rain in the kitchen! On the ground floor, we are snug as bugs,, or in some cases, snug with bugs, and don't actually hear much of the storms going on outside. Temperature has dropped from 89 two days ago to 64 now, and it is going to rain for four days and only get up to 62 tomorrow.

Tnt, what are your winters like where you live? Does it get very cold and snowy (usually, when a drought isn't going on) or do you have mild winters that aren't to bad, just a cold spell once in a while?

Winters are gnerally mild - sometimes wet - with alittle snow, We usually refer to it as "Yard show" as it usually does notstick on road, etc. When we do have a big snow weare pretty well immobilized as we don't have many plows or other equipment. Once every few years we might have an ice storm which does a lot of damage to power lines. Iremember more snowy winters as a child!!!
