It snowed in my neighborhood

Seriously.

Most of Dallas had a little sleet and freezing rain today but my 'hood actually got snow. Certainly not the near blizzard type stuff you ladies and gents receive in the northern lattitudes but there was definitely enough for a good snowball fight and enough for an ambitious person to make a vertically challenged snowman. I'm glad because it seems that we always get cold air but never any precipitation to go with it...it will hit all around us and skip right over us. I was outside in it like a little kid!
 
It's the coldest year since 2000 due to La Nina, but also, paradoxically, one the warmest ever.
 
Shit. Come to the Midwest and experience it for yourself from November to the end of March (sometimes into April) and see how cool it is :p. I hate this! If it wasn't for family and friends, I would be heading for south Florida in a heartbeat :cool:
 
Hey...I switch places with you in Fall/Winter and you can switch places with me in April through the end of September (yes our summer's are of the 5 month variety).
 
I am not as impressed with this cold bullshit that's been grabbing Houston by the balls lately. I was excited to see the snow, but there was no accumulation, no ice, nothing. Very boring and uneventful, just cold.

But it was 41 degrees today! No. When I can see palm trees growing outside my window I'm supposed to be having 60 degree Christmases, damnit.

This past winter, it snowed here at the end of April. That was when I was done with the winters in Chicago. :(

As soon as I can feasibly do it, I'm outta here, to warmer climes...:D
 
Y'all say that now...but down south it gets hot. It actually gets pretty hot up north because of the humidity but it doesn't stay hot. When you walk outside (this happened over two years ago) in March and it's 95 degrees outside...you might yearn for those beautiful late spring and early fall days. One advantage though (at least in Texas) is that even though our 'seasons' are screwed up...you get to experience all types of weather sometimes within the same week. It was 80 degrees and muggy on Sunday...on Monday the high temperature was between 27-30 degrees with single digit windchill....Tuesday was sleet/snow...and by Thursday it will be back to 70 degrees!

But Houston's ridiculous humidity and Dallas' schizophrenic switch between humidity on occasions and endless strings of 100-degree days where you can fry eggs on the sidewalk...isn't for everyone....let's all move to Hawaii or the Pacific Northwest :p

Yeah it was a crappy April. Then May comes along and it only averages 60 degrees Fahrenheit for the whole month. Then right around Memorial Day it gets into the 70s and 80s :p. I would love not to have to deal with shitty weather anymore
 
I think people often don't think of snow in California. Where I used to live (in CA) we had snow into May several years. It wasn't always consistent or tons of it. But of course in the foothills and mountains - it can and does snow.

I prefer the ocean though
 
wow, i'm surprised it snowed down there in dallas! we got a light dusting up here in okc, mostly slick roads though...

give me snow any day! no ice though...that stuff gives me nightmares!

I crashed my car in some black ice. I rarely deal with icy conditions so I didn't know how to drive in it properly.

I can only deal with snow for so long before it becomes annoying.

3 days max.

Not to mention, driving in the snow isn't nice either.

Black ice ain't no joke. A friend of mine was in a bad accident because of that. She broke some bones and has a scar on her face from the accident. But she came through it
 
the sun is out in my neighborhood

It was 76 degrees today in Savannah. Don't worry; I'll be freezing my ass of next week when I visit my hometown, Cleveland, OH.
 
here in my city it snows like 1 hour a year and then quickly becomes rain :(. I love snow. Fortunately I can see it with 30 mins of car only:)

i crashed last year in that ice storm we had up here...i drove from norman to moore without a problem! i get 2 blocks from work, hit black ice, and wreck into those dividers they use for construction...after i came to the sand truck drove by!

yeah, snow sucks to drive in, but so much fun to play in!
