I propose a new season in Texas...

You know the 'normal' seasons of Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter, right?

It just doesn't seem like enough definition to me, too vague.

So I'm adding 'Stormy' between Spring and Summer, specifically the month of May.

The temperature had been pretty nice here for the month of April, in the 70s, with rain for sure and a few storms.

But May! May has been one storm system after another, driving up from the south west and driving right across Ft Worth and through Dallas into Denton and all those towns north and north east of us.

We had to hide in our 'safe room' the other day for the first time in a few years, as the tornado sirens sounded and the TV weathermen were drooling over their maps of 'rotations' and 'sheer fronts'. I swear they are happiest when they can show the same radar maps over and over and over, spouting the same verbiage.

The 'Stormy' season will continue for a while longer and then Summer will hit. Yeah...

I grew up in Levelland, about 30 miles west of Lubbock, up in the Panhandle of Texas. The seasons up there are 1 week of Spring, Summer, 1 week of Fall, 2 months of Winter and them it's back to Spring. Weird.

Stay safe everyone and enjoy the Stormy season before we start to melt in the Summer heat! ;-)
