It actually SNOWED last night!

I myself prefer the snow and cold having beein in Minnesota 35 years and I grew up in Michigan. I need the cold and snow for the Holidays to make it feel right to me. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

Not always good, unless you like those 100+ degree days - I don't.

I told the roomie it sounded like sleet to me when I heard the stuff, but I looked outside about 3 and didn't see any white stuff, musta all been on the trees.

I don't drive anymore because of those kinds of people. They expect everyone to drive as recklessly as they do with their speeding and their tailgating. Here in Sacramento County in California it happens without fail, even with the limited area I cover as a pedestrian, it is so obvious - when the ground gets a little wet, these criminals think it is OK to drive recklessly and deliberately spin out on public roads. And people wonder why there are so many traffic fatalities here. Many are single car accidents, but sometimes those non-humans take innocent lives with them.

We can close down the town on a few inches, if it sticks to the roads, around here hardly anyone knows how to drive on ice. I waited 3 days after the last ice storm and STILL nearly got hit by the moron in front of me putting on his brakes on a still icy bridge. I had slowed down to cross the bridge, but had to go fast enough to get to the top on momentum, then I had to touch the brake to avoid the moron, but at least I didn't do a 180 after slipping all over the 2 lanes and ending up in the medium (that is grass) and barely avoiding a road working machine parked there! I did slide a bit when I touched it, but I turned into the skid, took my foot off the brake and maintained control of my van. What a MORON!

More brownies for you and I'm stalking you..lol..

I'm hoping for moderate weather over Christmas - but you never know. I like those 60º Christmases rather then the 80º or the 30º ones.

Hopefully, from my point of view, this will be the only snow of the year, but if it isn't, I plan to spend the time either in bed or in front of my computer!

I've seen 90's and 100's in Austin in Feb, so snow is a rare event. We are known to get some cold weather, but cold and wet isn't that common.

We hear we're going to have a cold winter and if this is any example, I believe it!

Ours didn't stick that long, it was gone by the time I got out, except for a few places.

That would indeed be dangerous if it did freeze and ice.

I just hope it doesn't snow when my sis is trying to drive down here

Lol! We did have quite a bit of crashes and some of the schools started late but other than a long slow commute that was about it.

YIKES! I'm glad I missed that, it was really nice when I was down there last weekend.

So, did they close businesses or did you have a morning "crash" hour?

It was only supposed to make it to Lubbock, and it came far past there!

It wasn't 80 when it snowed, it was in the low 30's. We had a massive front blow in. Heck, you hear about HOUSTON today - some parts got inches of snow!

Yes, somebody just called me and told me. I guess the world will be white at least once this year, in different parts at a time. Take care.

We made it to -1º C here in town (30º F) so is that warm enough for ya? We'll make about the mid 50's or so later today, sun's shining.

No, its HOT in the summer and mild in the winter with occasional cold days, the longest cold snap I can remember was almost 3 weeks of below freezing. That is never getting above freezing, we aren't used to that, and we don't build for it!

but what i have heared from some of my friends in texas its warm the whole year

They didn't expect the snow and ice to reach us, but you never know.

The weather sure has beeen strange lately....everywhere.

I hope ya do, I, on the other hand, would rather pass on the ice type stuff, these Texan drivers can't handle wet roads, much less icy ones!

I like wind myself, but cold and wind... well, depends on how cold. I don't like humid - but at least it saves the citrus crop.

Not me, I haven't been excited to see snow for over 30 years! The cold makes my body ache, I'd just as soon spend the day in bed as opposed to getting out in the cold, much less the cold and WET!

Ain't that the truth! I'm glad I got to sleep thru the snow, I even broke down and turned the heater on that night!

Well, I doubt you get snow in the summer... but on the whole, the reason I stay in Texas isn't the summers!

That is strange, but nobody ever said there is a "normal" to weather.
