SNOWING IN THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY

Its not a surprise to anyone that the weather here in the Rio Grande Valley is almost always unpredictable. One day it might be cold enough to wear a coat then the next day it might be as hot as an oven and even though we got our weather people letting us know the details about the weather its still very unpredictable but isn't that what makes the Valley so special. No one not even the weather people knew what was coming in 2004 when mother nature decided to play a trick on us on Christmas Eve. Everyone was dissapointed when the weather predicted temperatures in the 100's but no one expected to have a white Christmas. I guess a special someone that wasn't on the naughty list asked Santa for Snow and we got to enjoy our white Christmas but anyways back to the current conditions.

Current conditions call for concern since some schools and colleges have closed down as a result of losing power due to the cold conditions and some schools will open later in the day. It is predicted that it will get colder tonight and the issue whether some schools and colleges will be open is TBA. Wow!! Seems like the weather people were right this time but I don't know I still have my shorts ready to go to South Padre Island in case the weather plays another trick on us. LOL.
