I knew there was a reason I moved further south....

So that I could see snow again!!

We are in the process of a move from Austin to Houston and I'm looking out of the hotel window and the car hoods are all covered with snow. It isn't sticking to the ground yet...but it's a big difference from the 70 degrees that it was yesterday.

That's crazy I never knew Texas had snow. How far south does it fall in the states? What's a typical area that people assume get's no snow but really does every year? And by "people" I mean people like me in Canada who aren't familiar with the regions.

Yesterday San Antonio set a record high of 85. Overnight there was a slight dusting of snow, sleet and hail in the area. That system is what you are seeing in Houston. It is rare but not unheard of.

Snow is for wussies.

Brownsville got a decent snow several years ago, which is as far south as you can go in Texas.

I'm sorry you have to leave Austin for Houston

 

[txrandom]

Where in Houston are you moving to?

Don't eat the yellow snow.

texas and decent snow just doesn't blend. nothing less then 3 feet is acceptable. sorry.

Yeah, it was incredible - we actually made some (tiny) snowmen at a bar tonight (Richmond Arms, for the Houstonians).

It's southern snow though, it's very wet and usually melts as soon as it hits the ground. So that does not count.
