My dance moves aren't too good anymore, at least it seems that way. 10 day forecast is dry. Red flag warnings are the norm.

This is correct for the Ponderosa. I had 1.50" in the middle of September and nothing since and no snow.

I hear morels are really good but I don't live where they are. Would like to try them sometime.

Still nothing promising here in Ford County

I wear snake gaiters almost daily here at the Ponderosa because of the high numbers of rattlesnakes and my inability to hear them. I have never had a test. They do work well for keeping other sticky things like cactus at bay.

That article is so true.

Duck Perry, Welcome to the forum and thank you for your service

It continues to be brutal in the area. I was on foot in the pasture fixing fence when that big blow came in the other day. I could see it coming, but I couldn't beat it to the house. The dust and wind hit and it was so cold and black and I just followed the fence to the house. I can only imagine...

Count your blessings. Happy Thanksgiving
