@dancingwoman.  I hope you're not planning to make the trip this week-end.  It could be nasty, but next week should be smooth sailing.

I feel the same way when people say "Oh, it's so hot

here it's in the 90's ".   I think big deal 105 here. LOL

Up in Ind. where I"m originally from. Southern part around Evansville every Feb. it would be bad.

Makes me so mad to see people running around in shorts and work out gym clothes when it's windy as all get out and temperature is in 20's.

Best thing about Tx is if it does snow doesn't last as long as up North. My husband fell on the ice up there

and his hip was never the same. After that he said 
"we're not going to Fl. but Tx seems close enough in

price and religious ideals we can't stay up here".

Have no kids and if we did they wouldn't care anyway.

LOL

@kachina did you know Tx halved their property tax?

I got my tax bill and called them up and said "is this for

6 months and not the annual bill"?   They said "no, they reduced the property tax rate by 50%".  Course, nobody told the insurance it went up a fortune.

Tax decrease was for the Amarillo area. I don't know if it was for all of Tx. I just assumed it was, but, I'm happy. they must had raised it on something else.  LOL

@Kachina624 Yeah I meant next week....seems they all run together anymore..lol..DW

@SharkE. I think my property tax has almost doubled in the 24+ years I've lived in NM.  This state has so much oil and gas money they can't spend it all.  I assume you still have the homestead provision which always gave ne a nice tax break.

Of course we have the state income tax which is a PIA.

@On It.  Better get over to Ruidoso and enjoy some snow.  Just heard they're under a Winter Storm Advisory with 4-6" expected.  Hurry though.

We stayed in a cabin there. Nice. Didn't like that sliding glass door in the bedroom , though. LOL I put something in the door track .  LOL

Don't think Tx has a state tax ?

[SharkE]

yep, have the Homestead exemption.

Perfect amount of snow, view from high up in Payson, AZ, from my friend's driveway.

It never ceases to amaze me...that people from "the North" do NOT realize that SUMMER IS OUR WORST SEASON on the low deserts of Arizona.

[Kachina624]

@Desertdi.  I hate summer and it seems to go on forever with no relief.  Never even a short cool spell.
