Memorably hot summer

Posted on September 2, 2009 | Comments Off on Memorably hot summer

It was a blistering hot one and, officially, as KVUE’s Mary Murray says, the hottest on record. But the hottest on record isn’t very impressive when you consider that the record only goes back to 1856. I’ll bet it’s been this bad and worse some other summers in the past few billion years. Of course there’s nobody able to contradict me on that.

Ice scrapers on Easter?

Posted on April 6, 2007 | Comments Off on Ice scrapers on Easter?

Accuweather’s Joe Bastardi is pretty much saying Central Texans should get out their ice scrapers for what could be an ice storm of sorts on Easter Sunday. KVUE’s Mark Murray emails that he isn’t so sure:

"I don’t know exactly what to make of this cold air coming in for the weekend…But, models do have a VERY hard time with this time of the year.  They work best in the middle of winter and the middle of summer…[Today’s] forecast will be a good one!"

UPDATE  Early forecasts say the ice and snow (!) will stay north of the Austin area. It’ll just be cold.
