Worst Snow Storm in Texas History!

[Havoc_online]

LOL, this caught us unprepared:eek:! We have nothing to keep us warm enough we never expected for it to get in the 20's here:rolleyes:! People in Texas dont buy winter gloves or anything:o ! I dont think you can even BUY winter gloves here:p! (excuse the sillyness, this is the first time I've EVER in my life seen snow:))

I know is snows a good deal in North Tx(much less everywhere else), so I thought I'd post a few pics of our current situation in central Tx. for everyone to make fun of:( :o.




(these pics are of when it had just started, we'll get some more later:))

For awhile back in the beginning of Feb, it was so cold in southeastern Wisconsin, it wouldn't even snow. It was like -30 with wind chill, or something like that. Man, 20 degrees is T-Shirt weather for me!! ;)

[EsPo]

thats not snow... its.. fake :):p umm... 20's?! thats warm!!! that really doesnt look like snow though :):D

lol.. is there such thing as sweatshirts in TX?

[hitech]

Nice jeep. I know what you mean. It probably gets colder here, but it never snows (well, it did when I was 10, but that was a LONG time ago).

We can buy gloves as the mountains aren't that far away (need 'em to go sking). :D

Cool huh? ;)

[logamus]

i know what you mean havoc. i just looked out my living room window and saw a delighful sheet of ice covering my entire driveway. i hope you have actuall snow because its been sleet/ice since noon here. damn cold sucks.

Hey, all you Texans are acting like you're cold. We (in the east) got hit with a blizzard last week, almost 2 feet in some parts of CT.

Well, enjoy the snow while you can, and be safe on the roads. :)

[Havoc_online]

it just stopped :( Oh well, this is the peak of it...:)

[Havoc_online]

almost enough to make snow angels:p

[Havoc_online]

My first Snowmound!:o:p:D:):cool:

[Automaggin2]

hahaha snowmound! SNOWMOUND! lol! that looks like crappy snow ;) Capo, nice Jeep! you must be godly rich :)

[Clare]

Capo, nice Jeep!

Thanks :)


Well it's the closest thing to "snow" that this area has gotten so it's nifty. I prefer warmth, though!

[langrage]

Hmm no snow here, but a really cold rain drop hit me in my ear.

[Blake_sw]

Good job whiting out the liscence plate.

[darklord]

Do you guys even have snow shovels or plows in Texas? Looks like really light and powdery snow.

[-Carnifex-]

I went outside in damp pants this morning and they froze. =\

[pbzmag]

SoCal has snow!!!! Oh wait, I'm just looking in my freezer! LOL

I remember making a 7 foot snowman... he eventually turned into a snowmound though...

Nice Jeep Capo. Is it a Laredo or Limited? Also did you do any mods? I was going to get one, a Laredo, but interior was just alittle to small for my needs and went for an Explorer. It had the interior space I needed for my job and couldn't pass up a 1.9% financing, $2k off the sticker price, and $2k trade-in for my Saturn SL2.

Wow...comeon! We get that in June! Ok, maybe May. You know, it still amazes me when I hear that people never actually saw snow. You guys shouldve been here this winter...that woulda cured you.

[nippinout]

Don't you need a passport to get into Texas? :)

My friend told me a few years back how the state of Georgia got about .25" of snow and they shut everything down. lol

I'd like to move down near Texas or Arizona when I'm super old. I'm not a fan of pants. :)

But I also like snow. Are you serious that this is the first snow you have ever experienced!?!?!?!!??!?!

[Dayspring]

1) We're not hanging out. EVER. ;)
2) Let's hope your kids don't share the same habit. :D

You call that snow? LOL!

We received 20+ inches last week. What's worse is that your storm is on it's way to the north east. We will get hit this Thursday night. We are looking at 3 to 10 inches.:( I am tired of shoveling and using the snowblower!!!:mad:

P.S. Snow in Texas...so much for global warming, eh?;)

[Gunga]

Well, I see the most important question hasn't been asked yet...that being, did you write your name in the snow? :D

Hahaha!!! Scientists, try to explain Global Warming with response to this one...

[KFC_Chicken]

The snow in the first pics looks FAKE! Looks like its all shinny like plastic, oh and Clare Capo...... is HOTT!!

[FalconGuy016]

lol snow storm... with all the snow ive been experiancing (2 feet and its not going away :) 10 feet mounds at every corner) I was expecting a snow storm. Thats like, a dusting. But, being in texas for 7 years I know what its like to have it there :) But I know for a FACT we had a much bigger snow"storm" when I was there.

Dont get it into your heads that THAT is snow, it isnt. Its just a lot of ice and sleet. Wait until you experiance real snow :)

[Archangel Damien]

you whiners come live in canada for a winter then you can complain about snow:D

[logamus]

well i cant speak for havoc and the austinites but up here it was not snow but ice. the bed of my truck had 2 inches this morining. i dont care if your santa, 2 inches of ice will make you reconsider going outside.

when i was a wee little boy my family moved to the 'burbs of cleveland. i dont remember much (thankfully) but i do remember the huge snow drifts after the city plow would clear the street every morning. i also remember when we moved back to texas my dad forgot to sell his snowblower. that was fun to try to sell in texas. :)

[temps]

Wow! snow in TX!

Did you guys have to shovel your drive ways lol :rolleyes:

Give you an idea of what that looks like where I live..

Havoc meant for the thread to be a joke and poke fun at the fact that Texas doesn't receive snow like other places.

[Aliens-8-MyDad]

wow here in dallas, we got 2" of ice! it was like little pelets falling from the sky and it formed on the ground. its crazy cuase ive never missed school 2 days in a row due to snow. the roads are slick because they are all coverd in ice. its fun tho.

[vf-xx]

In all fairness it doesn't generally snow in Texas much. It just ices, and cities shut down for ice. Tho it did snow for real when I was about 5.

However it usually snows here in the panhandel, but not this year! It's freaking cold and all the snow is missing us here in Lubbock. GRrrrrrrr!!!!

Havoc enjoy your ice pellets.;)
