People are going to be freaking out. :lol:

Well, it didn't last long - maybe 5 minutes :lol: Melted upon contact with the hot Texas ground ;)

Its cold and windy - I don't know if its supposed to snow or ice any more... we usually get ice if anything.

It was a cool -1* last night here in the Denver area. You flatlanders down there in Texas just don't know what cold is.

We know what it is, that's why we live here :!:

I'm often tempted to move back north, but then I remember walking 10 miles to school through knee-deep snow, uphill both ways....

I like snow just fine, but when I'm tired of it, I want it to go away.

I could use a little fire-ant killing weather, though.

We got a few flakes a couple minutes ago.....It's gonna be cold tonight, so if the moisture keeps up, we could get a measureable amount here (normally, don't get much snow around here)

Hey, Blaine. You have fun over there if it snows. Wouldn't catch me driving around on the west side with ice and snow on the ground unless there wasn't any alternative. It's not that cold here, but it feels colder than it is for some reason. I'm not looking for any snow, but if it comes it can't stay for long.

Snowed about 3 - 4" a couple days ago. Been colder than H377 ever since. Got clear up to 24 degrees this afternoon. Should be warmer, come August...

Here in my part of the world it snowed most of yesterday and we had a low of -4 sure glad the wood stove was working.
We warmed up to 34 today and we are still white and tonight looks to be another cool one. and we have another storm moving in for the weekend. This might be our year for winter weather and snow.

Got up this am in balmy Vinton, LA... 47ºF. Stopped in Baytown, TX to spend several $100s, where it started snowing. Snowed almost all the way thru Houston with attendent consternation and near panic on the part of the locals! :twisted: Temps hovered around 31-35º till I got near Segovia, where the bottom fell out and hit a low of 21º this afternoon. Stopped in Van Horn for dinner and now approach Sierra Blanca and the temp is 10ºF.

3 trucks & a car tangled up back near the I-10/20 split with disasterous results on black ice. Hoin' to get to El Paso unscathhed.

Ya'll stay safe, warm & dry.

It snowed a little here in S.E. Texas. The reason we live in S.E. Texas is because my wife grew up in the hills above Boulder Co. and can't stand snow. You don't even want to ask her opinion about snow :)

Freakin' cold in Arizona: -5* to + 5* overnight or so up in the high country (which used to be a regular thing) and 25*-35* very chilly for us in Phoenix. Everything's relative folks! Big gun show here this weekend; it'll be interesting to see just how serious shooters are about checking things out first thing this morning!

27 degrees this AM on the central Oregon coast. It'll come up to 45-50 today. I sure don't miss those AM's in N. California of 10-15 degrees as I headed out to a house I'd be framing. Done with all that, thank God!

My good friend Hank usually comes down outta the mountains for the big shows in Phoenix. Too bad it'll be after 5 afore I get thru there.

And Blaine... not to worry, I still place a high value on my carcass... not to mention the $30K to fix up this ol' beater of a truck!

Another .30 WCF? :wink:

Snowing here today as well. I sit here pondering a specifics on a new leather purchase, hunting possibilities this week (more snow coming), and waiting for somebody in all the traffic passing by to pull in and at least look around.

Hey guys! Here in Northern Vt today it's been in the high 30's/low 40's. Cloudy but bare ground and no snow (so far). I love this global warming!! I was talking to a guy in the post office this morning who told me that he saw that Texas was getting snowstorms. We agreed that if you folks down there find that you like the snow, you can have all of our January/February share if you want. :lol: :P

I must be living right! Thursday it snowed to the SW, W and N of me. Friday it snowed S and SE of me, including Houston. I got nothing in NE Texas and love it.

I always said if it snowed any more here I'd move farther south, but I'm not so sure now after reports from Marshall, Nacogdoches, and Houston. That only leaves Hawaii and I'm too claustrophobic to live on an island. (I hear it snows there too, anyway)

It's snowing pretty good up here in central Maine at the moment.
The forecast is 1" to 3" to 6" depending on how the storm tracks
and so forth. The ground is still pretty warm, so I'm thinkin' it
won't last long.

We've gotten away with murder so far this season - we had
64 or 65 on Thursday (unprecedented - a record!), and I rode
the motorbike to work three days last week. In December! In
Maine! LOL!

Winter is coming. It won't be an early one this year, and hopefully
not as hard as the last two.

The deer population took a HUGE hit the last two years because of the
severity of the winter, and the harvest this year is projected to be less
than half or normal. Many folks didn't even see anything this season.
I jumped a couple, but didn't get one.

Mescalero1, I'm sorry I didn't catch your inquiry on the Phoenix show. I was one who continued to also wonder how it was as I was (and continue) fighting a very bad cold or (hopefully not) onset of flu and figured I'd do nothing but aggravate. I was really looking forward attending this "big one" of our shows. Maybe someone else can report in.


To another poster who wondered about moving south but, after hearing about Texas snow, figured Hawaii was the only remaining choice: here in the lower Az desert the white stuff is still quite rare, though we don't escape what all the literature describes accurately as "cold desert nights." Very low himidity makes similar temps found in more coastal climes (Fla, etc) feel much nippier here, especially when that sun goes down. We're actually not dissimilar from the other mountain states in that regard, just lower latitude and altitude keeping temps still mild, relative speaking. Mid-day, we're usually back to mighty fine golf 'r shooting weather though.
