That is amazing. I am in Houston and even though I am out on a business trip I have heard that we had some sleet yesterday. Good thing is it wont last long. Time to clean that Boxster.

We lived in Brenham for about 8 years, It would snow about twice a year, but never anything that heavy. It may snow in Jacksonville, this afternoon. It's been drizzling all day and it sure looks like snow clouds.

My sister said in Dallas 1-2" shuts everything down... no plows/salt trucks etc etc...
Heck, here in Northern Illinois it takes about 1+ feet to close the schools
I can't wait till spring! My box is still sleeping under its blanket with the trickle charge on her.

It started snowing here in Des Moines around Dec7. We haven't seen the ground since. I have about two feet of snow on the lawn and 5 foot piles from all my snow removal efforts.

Man, I miss San Diego right about now.

Dessmoness...??? When did you become a Hawkeye?

You're going to have to learn the proper phraseology such as injecting an 'r' after your 'a's in certain words such as you no longer wash your car... now you warsh it!

You no longer ask people if you may come along... now the phrase will be: "Can I come with?"

You're going to have to refer to carbonated soft drinks as 'pop'.

And useful phrases like "Knee high by the fourth of July" are going to start creeping into your lexicon!

Seriously, I love iOwa! Great state with great people, and they say there's a girl behind every tree!

But, it's a far cry from San Dig.

Cheers!

We had over 13" in the northern Chicago suburbs...I think Florida is the only state currently without snow!
