Arctic Blast #2!

We have some of the most beautiful weather one can imagine at the end of January. During this weekend I thought to myself a few times that Super Bowl organizers likely wish the Super Bowl would've been played this weekend instead of next. Can the city of Dallas get lucky 2 weekends in a row with great weather? We shall see!

The week ahead forecast is supposed to be a blustery cold one. With snow coming in on Tuesday. Snow that has a chance to stick around since Wednesday's high is supposed to only be in the mid-20s. Cody is tickled pink that arctic blast #2 is on it's way! He actually asked me to go buy him a parka. Oh wait maybe that was the barely-there-non-fury Simon that wanted the parka and Cody was hoping for a ticket to the South of Florida. LOL! The arctic blast will likely be over by the time Super Bowl Sunday gets here. These arctic blasts tend to last for about 4 days then it goes back to normal winter temps and Cody thaws!

I've been here long enough that I now notice the pattern of the weather. Whenever an arctic blast is coming we experience a few days that are slightly warmer then it should be for this time of year. We then experience the "winds are changing" day(that's how I refer to it). A day that's breezy with a bit of a chill to the breeze. The type of chill in the breeze that is tolerable not the type that makes you shiver once you step out in it. That slight chill in the breeze seems to be an indicator that a change is coming our way. The day that follows the "winds are changing" day is a day that features rapidly dropping temps throughout the day. Today in big D we are having a "winds are changing" type of day.

Lets see...last time we had an arctic blast I made beef stew. This time around I'm thinking chili! A nice homemade Texas chili, served with some cornbread and honey. Oh can you believe Texans don't put honey on their cornbread? My boyfriend looked at me slightly funny when I started dousing my cornbread with honey the first time we had cornbread together.
