Never leave those bad bous out. The roaches are scary big, you'll freak out like a little girl when you first see one crawling across your kitchen counter, guaranteed. Regarding fire ants, they IMO are about as painful as wasp stings. I stepped in a mound and had 54 bites - had to be rushed to the hospital. Foil nearly quadrupled in size in about 5 minutes. Beware when it rains hard, Houstoj floods very badly. It's a bowl city and water can't escape. Flash flooding is part of life there. Compared to free too no one pays attention to tornado watches (get them all the time) or t-storm warnings. Also I hope you like baseball, Houstoj and the 'burbs are America's baseball Mecca. First off, good luck, Potter and hope you find lots of success Second, speaking of water moccasins, I lol at people who think there are water moccasins in PA. I mean, c'mon, people.

Feb 5-6th was such a great storm, I wish everyone in our C-pa thread would've been able to get slammed by it. That whole February onslaught was bittersweet for me. A couple weekends before the 5-6th storm I got a high ankle sprain snowboarding on what was at the time not a ton of snow and very icy conditions. So basically when we got the motherload of snow the first couple weeks of February I wasn't able to snowboard in it. On a current weather related note, weather looks nice and quiet through at least the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's just one piece of the puzzle and it's WAY out timewise, but the ENSO is looking rather encouraging for a good winter. Current weather, looks like a mini-heat wave late next week also, but a return to a more cool, wet pattern afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
