SNOW!

It is snowing in Texas, this is kind of weird.

We have 4" of the stuff!

I just hope it does not melt and then refreeze as ice...

I seem to have misplaced my global warming. Anyone seen it? We had 10" a couple of weeks ago, and we're still dealing with the mud from it. Luckily we didn't get much today, even though we were in the 3" - 5" forecast zone.

Haha, global warming is such a joke....

The mud will be pretty bad tomorrow, which I am not looking forward to.
I have stuff I need to do and now I will be doing it in slop.

Off topic, but why is the Texas chapter so inactive compared to others?

It used to be really active but things got carried away and those guys all left.

Hello Alaska. I think you've got to be crazy to put up with that much snow every year. The last time we had near this much snow was 1978, and we're still griping about it. There's no way I could put up with the stuff for months on end.

I was not around in 78.

Don't get intimidated guys I was born in Texas and raised there. I saw snow a couple of times back there in the 60's. I know how dangerous the roads get when the snow and ice visit. Actually it was 45 degrees today here and the snow is almost gone in my yard.

The Woodlands is a nice area. I love the Mall! The mall is bigger than the downtown area of this little town I live in up here. When I visit Texas I stay just out of Magnolia. I have a couple of acres down there off of 1488. I went to Cy-Fair HS off 290 way back when. Six or seven years ago I was down there around Christmas when that Ice Storm hit, What a mess. I had to drive up to Brenham to visit my cousin and there must of been 200 sets of tracks on the road shoulders were people had run off the road. Of course few people down there have ever seen a set of studded tires. Stay Safe!!

Are you kidding. I didn't get to take my last cut of hay because my fields have been too wet since labor day. It's never dried up enough to even get out there and mow the stuff down, much less aerate or any other prep work I wish I could have done. Hot and dry would be a blessing right now. I'm going to be fighting weeds and Johnson grass for years.

I will admit I did take the opportunity to build a big snowman with my little girl since we've never had enough snow to do that before. She's 20 now, so I figure this was probably my only chance at it. Otherwise I would have just hid indoors.
