We lived in Bryan, TX for 13 years (before escaping to Colorado) and probably saw snow only 3-4 times.

ENJOY!!!!!

I admire it - certainly a great day in TX when you get enough snow to do that!

We got another 8" or so yesterday to add to what we already had. Welcome to Colorado.

Hope the east coast folks are digging out by now. It sounded bad there.

Actually, it's global man-made climate change, and it's a very serious issue.

It snowed in Houston when I was in Nacogdoches. I'm in Houston but it still isn't snowing. I'm never going to experience snow

I'll agree it's serious. I am seriously freezing my *** off.

Tonight is the only holiday shift I get off this whole winter and of course it has to have this bizarre white stuff everywhere I look.

My daughter is somehow impressed with that stuff on the ground. I got enough of it for a lifetime one winter in Chicago area (Great Lakes for boot camp and A school) and would be happier never to see it again.

But it was pretty funny watching our dogs be confused by it.

I love the snow, but I hate driving in Texas when the snow falls. I don't know if most of the drivers down here are out sightseeing or driving as if we're in a NASCAR race...

Yeah, its awesome the Kids are loving it. We only got about 1 1/2 to 2 inches; just north of dallas; but still awesome that we get a white christmas.

edit: I also agree with Franchel...coming from my moms after dinner had someone fly past me on 75 only to spin out about 40 yards after he past. Luckily I was going slow enough to stop and maneuver around him.

I lived in Arlington for 12 years. I have a photo of 5-year-old me next to a snowman. It snowed a few times, not just that year, while I lived there. We even had snow days occasionally.

Snow in that part of Texas isn't that rare, at least it wasn't in the eighties.

Either way, enjoy! Merry Christmas!

No it's not very rare, it tends to snow at least once a year, although after 26 yrs here this is my first white christmas.

Yeah I've lived here all my life and it always snow almost every year, just a little bit though. This was just the first time this year. And we don't always get a white christmas.

It snowed in south Oklahoma too. News said around 7-8 inches with drifts up to 3ft. Power was out for nearly 8 hours. Had to make a short trip to walmart managed to get stuck twice. 2wd F150 + no LSD = no fun driving in the snow.

LSD makes driving in the snow more fun?

Yeah, Al changed it to climate change when they figured out it could get colder. One big volcanic event or asteroid impact could make whatever we're doing look like kid stuff. Keep in mind, there have been many events that caused sudden near-total extinctions of life on earth, all of them before we evolved to this point. Whatever we do, nature will recover from it and thrive long after we're gone. We're just worried that New York will become the next Venice.

I am not sure about LSD as in Lysergic acid diethylamide, but LSD as in Limited slip differential does make driving in the snow suck a little less.
