I just came across this picture. It is from December 8, 2017. Snow is very rare here on the Texas gulf coast and snow in December is even rarer. I took this picture at Mom and Dads place. I just think it looks really cool. Probably not a big deal for yall up north but this D17 has not seen very many snowfalls. For us down south snow is usually a treat. Beautiful and neat to experience and then gone in a day or two.

Growing up in Wisconsin, now living in Texas, that picture is revolting!! LOL! Sure glad snow has a short lifespan around here. ------------- I tried to follow the science, but it was not there. I then followed the money, and that’s where I found the science. |

I was at Fort Sam in 1966 in January and it snowed, all the guys from Texas thought it was great, I told them they as crazy, the barracks floor was a mess from them guys throwing snowballs in side. |
