Boohoo ya whiny Texans with a little dusting of white stuff. Are your streets utter chaos now? Ask the Vancouverites what they do in such panic situations.

Man, can you tell how much I hate winter? (and yes, I keep trying to convince my wife to move to California. I'd be there on a dime, if I could.)

I get excited when I see rain in Phoenix like I used to get when I saw snow as a child. Last time I saw snow falling was in March driving through the TX panhandle. I never want to see it again except on top of a mountain.

We were out for dinner and the big flakes in the street lights reminded me of being in NY and Massachusetts. Beautiful.

Still unusual. Hell has frozen over.

Snow down here is no joke. The roads in Dallas are built to withstand the summer heat which makes them absolutely horrendous in the rain. Snow? Might as well stay home.

When I was commuting from NY to here I had a different rental car every week so did not really notice.

I shipped the P car down and the first time I drove it in the rain was "enlightening" to say the least.

It is supposed to be snowing 'til midnight in Cut'n'Shoot(by Conroe)

Stay home, burn your fireplace, there are a lot of people down there who never drove in snow and ice, careful on bridges, may be icy when road is dry

Rick, you sound like my mother when she left Nebraska, well that and complainign about not being able to get a residency in anything other than Pedi or Ob/Gyn in the state
