Snow in Houston? Really?

[DR]

Remember, these southern folks don't know how to drive in the snow nor do they have the appropriate equipment to clear the snow and salt/sand the streets.  I was in Alabama years ago on business when they received a few inches of snow overnight.  The next morning the roads looked like something out of the movies, cars were stuck or abandoned everywhere!

Beautiful picture Clarice!

Oops, spoke too soon, we now have about 3 inches of snow on the ground ..... but the roads are OK.  Having grown up in the northern tier of the US and now living in WV, people here scare me to death when they freak out over a little snow on the roads and go crazy when they are driving.

View from my deck early yesterday morning:

At one store a few years ago, there was a line to wait for a cart there were so many people in the store before a predicted storm!!


When I was in college, I had a car, but no one really knew it the first semester.  We just always seemed to take someone else's car; however, the 1st snowfall and I was shouting loud & clear that I would drive anywhere we went.  I grew up learning to drive in bad weather and there was no way I was getting into a car with these other students who had NEVER driven in snow & ice before!!

Finally got some snow that stuck.  Barely enough to have to shovel, but rumor has it we're in for more 

Better get out my boots and my Steve original - got to keep my abutment warm

love the pictures, Clarice.

My son (Lackland AFB) in San Antonio was looking forward to the snow but it missed them. Oh well, he'll be stationed in Nebraska in January!

When I lived in Texas (Corpus Christi) snow was so rare. About once every seven years. When I lived in Dallas, it was a little more frequent - but no hills to slide down! Then the ice always freaked everyone out.
Now I live in Maryland and it seems like we hardly get snow much any more. Maybe this year!

l - got to keep my abutment warm 

Jan - Does the abutment give you a headache when it is cold, or it is just uncomfortable? I know I don't wear earrings when it is really cold out.

I hear Lori can pick up the Weather Channel with her abutment.

He will get the snow in Neb.      Then it comes on to Iowa which is getting it big time today and tomorrow blizzard warning.   
  These are the days that I am glad I am retired.                Cheryl R

Of course!  Let me know if you need your weather report for the week!  I can guess at it just as well as the weather people anyway.

Sara -

my abutment doesn't get cold in cold weather, but a lot of people ask that.  I think I may have even asked that myself before I got mine.

Luckily, it doesn't get caught on my knit hat either.  It doesn't stick out from my skull that far, so nothing gets "hooked" on it.

Lori -

does this mean you're going to become a weather bunny
