LOL...I sit here in my office reading this post and think, WOW....If only I could move to Texas. Just had 8" of snow yesterday, shoveled my drive 3 times and had to do it again this morning. It was minus 6 when I left at 5:45am today, top speed was 40mph snow, slicked roads, plows were out and spreading salt, but not doing much good, I really do envy you guys in the South, living in Chicago area sucks more and more the older I get....LOL

I feel for you guys in Texas, it's got to be rough wearing long pants. Have a friend that lives in Austin who I'm sure his wardrobe only consists of shorts and flipflops. How in the heck is it colder down south than up North? Oklahoma is currently colder than Chicago!

Yessir, I won't deny that. I did my time in Fairbanks Alaska (where highs were -20!), and even a 10 day visit to Thule Greenland (in the dictionary beside the word desolate is a picture of Thule!). I did 18 months in Northern Japan, and twice in Omaha (the center of nowhere). I also did four years in Hawaii, and if I could have retired there, I would still be there. But south/central Texas it is, and you guys can take the cold back.
