CITY COUNCIL HEARS MANAGER’S REPORT
The meeting of the City Council in City Hall on January 9 was completed relatively quickly as there were no major items on the agenda.
City Manager Cody Thompson gave the Council an update on recent and current City projects. City employees have been struggling to keep up with the many leaks and broken pipes in the City water lines caused by the cold weather. There was also a major break in the sewer line at 10th Street between Cypress and Main Streets.
The recent issues with the City’s RO water treatment plant have been corrected, and the plant is now filtering the water properly. Patching of City streets is also underway.
An additional light has been added to Windmill Park, and others will go up when additional power is added.
The Council approved the first quarter investment report as well as a couple of routine items and then adjourned.

WEATHER REPORT: COLD AND WINDY
 |
| Ice in the water trough at windmill park yesterday afternoon. |
This
past week has seen a variety of temperatures and skies, but the one
constant has been the wind, which has been consistently high even for
west Texas. The last few days have also been extremely cold, not only
because of the drop in temperature, but also because of the wind chill,
which has been in the single digits for the past three nights.
Last Wednesday, the high was 75°F, which would have been just fine if it hadn’t been accompanied by high south winds that reached 39mph with gusts up to 53mph. On Thursday, a norther blew through with winds from the north as strong as the winds from the south on the day before. On my drive from Houston to Roscoe that day, I came through a rainstorm that was so strong that cars were pulling off the road and waiting it out, followed by a sandstorm, followed by thick snow flurries, followed by sunshine and 50° temperatures but with high winds. On Friday the high was 51° but didn’t feel that warm with the wind chill, and the low was 23°. On Saturday the wind wasn’t so bad, but the low was 19° and the high 49°. Sunday was the nicest day of the week with a high of 57°, and Monday was also okay up until the afternoon when another windy cold front blew through, Since then, we’ve experienced some seriously cold weather. As I said, the wind chill temperature has been in the single digits for the last three nights, and yesterday’s high was only 28°.
Starting today, though, the weather takes a turn for the warmer with a high today of about 42°, 51° tomorrow, 64° Friday, and 72° Saturday. However, there will be wind, and unfortunately, there is no precipitation in the forecast.
