Better check the weather forecast for your neighborhood....

Looks like it might be back in the 90s in BIBE by this weekend:

The cold front that went ripping through the state dropped us to the upper 30's last night and tonight is supposed to get back down to the same. We aren't supposed to climb out of the 60's for the next several days.

It's currently 63 F in Austin and 73 F in Houston.  This morning here in Austin it was in the 50s.  I think Danny is up in the panhandle and he's saying its downright chilly (in the 30s).  Sorry you guys can't enjoy it.  Carpe Diem!

We do live up in the panhandle, about 3,900 ft. in elevation. This morning I was pulling out of the driveway and noticed something white on the roof. I climbed up to see what it was and scraped some frost off. It wasn't cold enough to frost on the ground or vegetation, but must have hit the freezing mark for at least a few minutes last night. We are supposed to warm back up into the low 80's this weekend.

Anything below 90 works for me after this summer, am planning trip to bend soon and hope the weather will be cool, most likely will be staying in basin as the other lady does not camp and I am pretty sure the ladies would prefer a cabin, but cool would be nice as I do not remember if the cabins have cool or not, scotch on rocks works for me and my buddy. :eusa_dance:

I stayed in a cabin in the basin back in August. No AC and didn't need it. The basin is "cool" in a lot of ways  :icon_lol:
