Cool and wet. Had 4 inches of rain in 3 days in Dec in Brownsville, more than an inch on other occassions. First time in 3 yrs that Texas has not been in a drought. Temps were about 12 degrees below past winters a lot of days. Mexico Army presence is everywhere even in the downtown area of Mattamoros. Progresso had a shoot out in the streets in early Dec before we arrived. We were in both Progresso and Mattamoros on numerous occassions and never felt threaten. Would not go there after dark. Not many winter texans were going to mattamoros past Garcias. Thier economy is hurting due to the fact that a lot of us would not venture accross the border.
