Living Where It's Warm In February

[CanTex 1]

I am "visiting" for six months, per our agreement between Canada and USA. It is soooo wonderful. I am in my shorts and tee-shirt washing

the car in the driveway, +88(F). Just chatted with a friend in Alberta and it's still -20©. Sure wish I knew that we'll be approved soon and I

can continue to enjoy this weather for the rest of my life.

Definitely warm here (in Austin) today - but the summers can be brutal...

But how hot does it get in the summer?

[Dr. Obvious 49]

88F is too hot. Bah summerbug.

I think it will get old quick, but enjoy it while it is still new to you.

I guess that being here last year from May - October has helped me adjust. I feel that if it's too hot to work in the yard, which I love. Planting flowers, vegetables (we get to plant gardens twice a year here, OMG, in Alberta it's only late May till end of August), I just go in the house and clean, bake or whatever. Painting the interior right now. But as in Canada if it's too cold outside we go inside. Right now it's -26c and my friends/family have had enough of winter, lol. I keep telling them to come visit. I do love Texas - the geography is somewhat like Alberta.

If we don't get our approval by the end of June I'll have to go back to Alberta for the remainder of the year. lol my fiance has been to Alberta in November and April for a week at a time. This time I will have to introduce him to ice fishing in Northern Manitoba. lol for sure those memories will be Kodak moments. He is a south Texan forever.

It is a blamy 68 here today and is supposed to be in the mid-70s tomorrow. Perfect day for golf

I'm still trying to get my head around it being in the 20's (70's) during the day time just after the new year. I don't know Texas (am sure it's hot) but it can get up to and feel like the mid 40's.. 105 or there abouts. I'm sure I can't be anymore than a few degrees off! Trying to get better at converting everything from Fahrenheit to Celsius. The humidity here in Florida.. feels like I'm sucking in water with each gasp for air. After I first arrived it took a while to get use to it.. had to keep going back into the A/C just to catch a breath at times!

I have lived in Texas as an immigrant from the UK for 6 years now and I love love love the weather! Look out for the severe storms in the spring though. Texas is in tornado alley!
