   Hi George, am I reading it right that you live north?  Are you aware   
   that Texas is an odd spot with lots of 'vortex-like' activity from   
   north?  I am thinking the Dakotas was it?  Trust me, it can get wildly   
   cold very fast, especially in northern TX.   
      
   Cold is relative to what you are used to.  Me, I cry at 15F.  I guess   
   I'm a whimp...
