Listen, I know expecting temperatures to stay in the mid-70s all winter long is absurd here in East Texas, but these 20 degree mornings we've been forced to navigate the past couple of days is uncalled for.

This isn't North Dakota where they are used to temperatures averaging from 2 to 17° F every January, making it the coldest state in the U.S. Up there they keep snow shovels in their garages, and mittens on their hands. I don't own mittens. Can you even find an ice scraper for your car in East Texas?

So listen, I understand if you've got the urge to break out of East Texas for a few days to warm up -- I think we all have that urge right now. And if you need some inspiration I've gotta few places that you may want to look into.
