It is still 80 degrees here in Lubbock.
Man was it warm today.

Wish we would of had some storms but it was jsut to warm aloft to let thunderstorms get started. :(

So that means tomorrow we will have a dirt storm. OH BOY brown skys. And if you need minerals in your diet just step outside and open your mouth. YUM!!!!!

2. That is spring for you.
But you could be in Texas where we go from winter, with maybe a few weeks of spring and then BAM IT IS SUMMER TIME!!!

3. Missouri goes back and forth.
One week it will be 80+, the next it will be snowing.

And summer is absolutely awful.

4. spring
we went for a week of serious spring weather around here... 50s, 60s, 70 even!
Then, yesterday it snowed. It didn't accumulate. I like snow but once it feels like spring, I want spring, not a switchback to winter. Today is kind of cool but partly sunny and springy again. :) Makes me just want to





TAG someone and say, You're It! (oh, i did)

7. And even when the weather changes....
You'll STILL be in Lubbock!

(Sorry--I live in Houston--not exactly the beauty spot of the universe.)

18. Nobody believes me when I say this-
But I miss Lubbock. Great weather, beautiful night skies, great art and entertainment, the Depot, The Buddy Holly Museum, Stubbs, Tech football, Roscoe Wilson, Lubbock High, Cagle's (the steakhouse, not the carpet store) Abner Euresti, Sharon Maines, Lubbock Country Club, great bird hunting, fishing at Lake Alan Henry (which supplanted Lake fork as the lake with the most thirteen pounders taken last year) David Langford, Llano Estacado Emmaus Community, County Line Barbecue, and warm hardworking loving people. They tend to be a little right-wingish, (okay, a lot right-wingish) but still the best people I've ever known. You made me homesick.

21. Well, it is ok.
County Line closed, I do get tired of the conservative bull on tv and in the public. The weather can be nice, but today is one of those trying days. And you can keep Tech football... GIG'EM AGGIES!!!!!!

20. they got water now, but not in 30 years
it is been projected that underground water will be completely dried up in 30 years in west texas because of farming and ranching practices.

8. i remember those dirt storms in lubbock
when the sky looks like chocolate milk......

once i was driving home from fishing one day, and it started raining mud. Had to pull the car over on the side of the dirt road and just sit there and enjoy darkness at 2pm.

15. We usually have at least one Mud storm a year.
The worst part is when the wind blows bad enough it starts blowing rocks.

24. We've had gusts up to around 65
today in Amarillo, blowing steady at 40 at times. Plus some serious fire shit still going on at the north end of town. I have alot of old HS buds that live up there. Highway closed btw town and the river due to the fires. Heard there was a big dirt storm on I-27 around Tulia. Then the weather guy says we're going to have a light freeze Sat AM. Ah...the panhandle plains.

25. We are steady at 35 to 40.
Gusts over 65, and the dirt is blowing. But hey one of my co-workers had a dollar blow up to her earlier. So hey someone made some money. In my work we have been busy today.
