But Texas is going big when, in this case, I wish it could go home.

I'd like a gentle frost. Instead it'll be near 70 Thursday at 3 pm, near 17 Friday morning at 3 am.

Meh. Just means I harvest all my winter greens tomorrow and cover the turnips and radishes as best I can, hoping they survive the 36-hour "not above freezing" "snap".
