Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

General BS forum I guess anything is fair game in here. Just watch the subject matter doesn't get carried away too much. |

Snow in Houston!
I went outside and there is around 1 1/2 inches of snow on the ground and my car has snow all over it! I have not seen this much snow in years! (Sure am glad I don't have to drive in it).

Yuch! I'm watching the weather radar and seeing a very broad band of snowy weather on the backside of that rain front coming towards us from the west. Calling for a low of 30 degrees here on Saturday and Sunday nights, which is a small improvement over the 28 call they were making earlier for Sunday night.
I sure as heck don't want to see any snow here. EVER. But I have seen flurries that didn't stick to the ground every now and again over the years. Usually when it is cloudy and associated precipitation, that is enough to boost the temps at the ground level to above freezing.
Bring on the GLOBAL WARMING!!!

I'm staying inside, fixing oven baked ribs, home made bread, pinto beans, real cold weather food.
Do you have a way to warm your citrus trees if the snow stays on the ground?

I'm only really concerned about the two new citrus trees we put into the ground several days ago, and the trees with fruits still on them. Generally citrus here will be OK as long as the temps don't drop down much into the low 20s or below. And some varieties are more cold hardy than others.
We have a bunch of larger tarps in the shed to cover the citrus when needed, as that is normally good enough to protect them. Putting a bed sheet between the plant and the tarp will help on especially cold nights because leaves touching the tarp can suffer some damage otherwise.
I don't think we really NEED to cover anything this weekend, but I don't have a whole lot of faith in the weather service giving an accurate forecast, so better to be safe than sorry.

Well, I'm certainly glad that the precipitation we've been getting here the last couple of days is not snow. We would be eyeball deep in that white crap by now.

I lived up north for a while when I was a child, me and my sister and brother each had a little sled, and I would occasionally ice skate, but I have never skied or snowboarded.
On the other hand, my older half brother is an avid surfer, and I never got into that either.

Man it snowed all day in city I work in. At home everything was covered but maybe an inch is all. 25 miles from where I work. If Lake Erie doesn't freeze I get hammered at the house. I live about 10 miles south of it.
