snow in the Dallas area, my brother sent a video for proof

we might see rain again here in NW Iowa this week
Fortunately the snow is not supposed to reach Houston

People go really nuts here when it snows
They won't let me give blood anymore. The burnt orange color scares the hell out of the doctors.

I'm not claiming it's a lot.  But it's certainly a lot for Austin, Texas.  It snowed steadily from 9 AM to 4 PM at my house.  I don't recall that EVER happening here, but of course I've only lived here for 49 years...

We had snow in the north Georgia mountains a couple days back, which is not unusual.  They thought we might see flurries in the norther 'burbs'.

That also is typical, brief flurries and no accumulation.  We're due for a couple snows this winter of an inch or two.  We have rain in the forecast today and it's cloudy, but 43°F.

Watch for the ice if you're driving,the ground there should still be warmer I'm guessing

Yeah our lowest low in the past 2 weeks was just 32 last night, so the snow barely stuck to the roads and melted as soon as any car drove over it.  Roads all clear today, it's bright and sunny, there won't be any evidence of snow at all by 2 or 3 PM.

People living in Houston have very little grasp on driving in the snow

They are amazed when their car doesnt stop when they wait until the last minute to apply the brakes

There is no such thing as keeping a safe distance between their car and the one in front of them

They just spin around and around in circles before plowing into something

I dont even bother going out when it snows and this makes my insurance company very happy

It was about 20 degrees when I left home to drive to work.  Heavy, heavy frost on my car, but no precip.
