What's more current than the weather?

It does not snow in Austin, dammit.

Also, it went back up to 70 degrees in between the two snows. And it will no doubt be back up there again in another week or two.

Texas weather, omg. It's always been batshit crazy, and I think it's getting worse.

I was born (1958) and spent the first ten years of my life in Beaumont. I was present and hunkered down for several major Gulf Coast hurricanes. The one I remember most clearly was this little bitch. I may have been quite young, but it made a very strong impression on my wee toddler's brain. ("Holy shit!!! A tree just crashed into the living room ceiling! WTF'nF?!?")

Many years later, as an adult, I commuted two weeks a month to Dallas, which has the craziest, most fucked-up, weirdest extreme weather I ever barely survived.

What with all that "fake news" global climate change hooraw and everything, it may be time to get outta Dodge, my friend!

Storm Eleanor hit the UK last night causing damage, transport disruption and power cuts in many parts of the country.
The wind howled throughout the night hereabouts but we seem to have got off fairly lightly.
The huge conifer at the bottom of the back garden survived the night, as indeed did I.
At 0655 the weather chap on the radio reported gusts of 100mph had been recorded in the Pennines, but as nobody lived there it didn't matter too much!
I made immediate plans to move there.
