But we were prepared and will survive this!

The City of Austin however is probably gonna be shut down. They can't get their snowplow started!!

You have my pity.

Now I'll grab my snow shovel and clean up after a proper snowfall.

My grandmother grew up on the Canadian in Hutchinson County. She used to talk about the "Blue Northers" they would get in the Panhandle.
It CAN happen in Texas.
I had to be in El Paso yesterday and passing by one of the high schools along the Patriot Highway I saw a bunch of kids standing around on the football field and its inch of snow -- seemingly bewildered!

In the late 50s, my Mother was babysitting for a family in Liberal, Kansas, and a snowstorm hit. She couldn't get out until someone dug down from the roof of the house so that they could open a door. The parents couldn't get in for 3 days.

I've lived in the Rockies for 30 years but the worst blizzard I ever saw was in Dumas, TX. In 83/84. The wind blows something fierce.

Pipeline I remember that cold snap, a big lake in W Texas froze over real thick and folks were driving their trucks on it :shock: crazy behavior in the desert. It did kill off the nutria rats for a while.

I won't speak for Jim, but to me, it's fairly representative of Austin's need for snow removal. Likewise, even up here in the DFW Area, a guy couldn't survive if he relied on snow removal from commercial businesses...

I grew up in Texas. ANY snow at all was a pretty exciting event! :)

A chiropractor friend in Lubbock said they had declared a snow day at their office.
