    I actually thought Texas was considered pretty humid. I know the idea of Texas being dusty ranches and stuff throws people off, but doesn't the state have some of the highest humidity ratings in the country?

    edit: reminder to self, Texas is enormous, the climate isn't the same for the entire state

      Bonus post: one of the most amazing things in the history of gaming happened for me today. Playing NCAA Football on PS2 (ignore the archaic system, I enjoy PS2 NCAAF so bite me), and the game froze. Usually this means game over, but I lifted the lid, took the game out, put it back in, and some sort of vidya game entity was looking out for me and decided today was the day the game would miraculously unfreeze. I can't think of another example in my entire gaming life of the system unfreezing after removing the disc and re-inserting it

        The El Nino weather pattern that happens every few years (warming of the Pacific) and the subsequent shift in jet stream is what's causing this "bizarre" weather where the West Coast is getting pummeled with storms (not Southern California quite yet, but Northern California, Oregon and Washington) and the East Coast is left largely untouched. The ridge is protecting them.

        Last year for example, there was a ridge in the jet that was protecting the Southwest, but that allowed colder air and precipitation to come through the East. Then on top of regular wintry conditions, you had the "polar vortex" drop down and cause the record cold and snows.

        What's fascinating is when there's a storm front like there is going through Texas right now, ahead of the front in the Dallas area is warmer weather and severe storms producing life-threatening tornadoes, but behind the front there's blizzard-like snow conditions going through New Mexico, Texas panhandle, etc. Middle of the country almost always has some crazy **** going on in some form or fashion.

        Weather is amazing.

            Yeah the states weather changes a lot depending where you go. West Texas like Lubbock doesn't have much humidity but in places like Houston you can cut the humidity with a knife.

              I believe you're from Tampa right? It really has been feeling like this summer down here for the last two days. Today, I got halfway down the street from my house and had to let my windows up and turn on the AC because I was already sweating.

                    Haha I do that if it's too windy or rainy to put a fan in the window, it doesn't take much heat for the top floor apartment to get toasty

                        Etiquette question: I have had this little squeeze out in Houston for a while now. She's from where I'm from and I usually see where when she comes back home to LA. I'm going to Houston Tuesday for the bowl game and she caught wind of that. We're waking up early and driving over, checking in at our hotel then hitting the bar before going to the game, meeting some mutual friends there. Thing is I'm going with a group and aren't driving. Should I invite her to the bar or is it a no-go to just up and invite people to join our posse?

                            Ask your "posse" if its cool for you to invite a lady-friend to the bar. I wouldn't see why it would be a problem unless you're JJ.
