My family lived in Dallas, Texas for three years when I was a kid. It snowed in Dallas.
What's up with the weather? Going to be 72 here in Denver today.

It does snow in Texas but rarely is on ground more than 24 hours. Just long enough. Can't imagine dealing with it for months at a time. My father came from Northern Mn. Not far from Canadian border. He never talked about moving back.
On TV, from Florida. It's WINTER down here this weekend. We're down to 44 degrees... Time to break out the long johns.

Glad it doesn't snow in Central Texas very often because the folks here just don't know how to drive in snow and ice.
But it was 98°F. here today.
Along the Chesapeake we saw a little snow, then sleet and freezing rain. Coffee had been made before the power went out, so it wasn't too bad for us retired folks

98 and it's still winter. What's it going to be like in July and August? Oh yeah, hot as hell. It's Texas after all.
It's not so much that people don't know how to drive on snow in the southern states but the ground temp is much higher turning snow into the slipperyest crap known to man.
People up north think little of driving 70 on hard packed snow but put them on snow down south and they can follow the guy in front right into the ditch.
I just finished plowing out 18 driveways from the snow we got on Tuesday....28", had to plow each driveway 3 times. The National Weather Service is calling for 3-6" Friday night into Saturday, Woo Hoo I get to plow again!!!!!

Long Johns, I'd be opening the pool it we could have it 44 F. LOL. But spring is just around the corner, going to get up to 34 for highs next week and the nighttime lows around 15.

For years I told my parents "You're retired. If you don't like what you see when you get up, go back to bed for a couple of days and then try again"
