One thing you can always count on is that Texas weather will be fast changing, often unpredictable, and sometimes brutal. That just about describes the past two weeks we've been through in the Killeen Ft. Hood area.
We wrote about the unrelenting summer heat last year, and how we were looking forward to the first "cool" 80 degree days of fall. Relief from the heat was all that was on our minds! Regardless of the weather, though, we push on and keep the work going and the houses rolling along on schedule.. RIGHT?
Not so fast. After three days of below freezing temperatures last week, and after today's Arctic blast of 40 MPH winds, rain, ice and snow and 19 degree temperature blew through for a good part of the day, we think we are ready for spring.! No more bone chilling, teeth chatterin, foot freezin' weather, ok?
Texas is usually much milder and new home construction can continue throughout the winter months uninterrupted. These past two weeks have frozen the ground ( NOT normal here), broken water pipes, frozen water meters, and made a morass out of some of the construction sites. Not that we are complaining! Just saying that sometimes, Mother Nature gets the upper hand and all we can do is stand back and wait it out.
Looks like the wait is about over though. The Killeen area weather man says "WARMING TREND" through the end of the month. BRING IT ON! We're ready to get past this mess and get some home building done!
