From 1100 a year to 2000. We now have what I call a normal winter. Ponds are finally frozen over to where kids can ice-skate, sleds are back in use. This morning it's -10 and forecast shows a high of 15. Now THIS is more like it......

Jeff, I am happy you like the cold weather you have again. I wish I could send you more from Texas. When I rolled out of bed yesterday it was -4 degrees and we had 85 hours below freezing temperatures. It did get above freezing yesterday afternoon for about 2 hours. We also had 8 inches of snow last week and snow drifts 4 feet deep on the north side of my storage shed. That snow will be there for awhile. I am ready for spring.
I would like to have your homeowners insurance prices.
My homeowners insurance here in Texas went up almost 25% last year which amounted to about $1500 a year. My homeowners insurance is up almost $500 again this year. I shop every year and just paid it again for 2025. We have not had a claim since 2018 when we had a hail storm and a new roof. We live in the panhandle of Texas so we don?t have floods or hurricanes yet homeowners insurance is brutal. We do not have a huge house just a few acres of land.
Texas does not have state income taxes but the insurance costs for homeowners and vehicles makes up for it.
I am ready for some warmer weather.
