Hell might not have frozen over, but Houston did. It actually snowed here. Like, enough to cover the ground. Seems odd, but I've never actually seen snow before. I've lived near the gulf coast my whole life and any time I went to climates where snow is regular, it was always in the summer. So now I have an opinion on snow. It's pretty rightous.
..but cold.
Dallas gets snow every now and then. And after I moved out here to Vegas last year, it snowed for the first time here in practically two decades.
Go figure.
South Padre dude... South Fucking Padre.

This is the first time you've seen snow? Honestly? Did you guys not get any that one year that a huge ice storm hit the south?
I live in Mississippi and even we get snow, sometimes. Typically it goes snow, snow melts, temp drops, snowcrap freezes, snows again, snow finally sticks. =D Power goes out from the weight of ice on the lines. =C
One year we had like, a foot thick sheet of snowy ice crap. It was awesome, you could walk on top of it. I live on a huge hill, so of corse I would go to the top and slide down. If you think going down snow is fast, try ice.
The bad thing is, at the bottom of the house, is a ditch, and then the highway. My little sis tried it and hit that ditch full speed. She went flying in the air and hit hte ground hard. She just laid there, screaming in shock.
Good times, good times.
Live in Michigan. We can't get rid of the stuff fast enough.
Nice. The apocalypse should arrive on schedule.
Awesome, I've never seen snow :(
yeah i was at work when it happened... some guys said its snowing and i was like "stfu noob" but then i saw it later when it was dark and the parking lots were lit up and was pretty blown away. Its all covered around my street - too bad its going to melt away in a couple hours, I wouldn't mind it being like this for a day more. It too was my first time seeing snow, its more rough textured that I thought it would be... not that fluffy.
STFU noob. :) Snow comes in many types from fluffy, granular, wet, and uh, normal.Quote:

Same thing in CT. The Carolinas get more snow than we do. :(Quote:

Even New Orleans is getting some packets of the white stuff.
O_o
Really unusual, since the weather beforehand was close to about the 50's and high 40's(the wind chill was about 30, though). We're also getting the hadrer, more texturaul stuff versus the fluffy, soft mounds that everyone always wishes for.
Still makes good for throwing, though. :evil:
Higher powers must be at work for all these offbeat weather changes to be going off on X-Mas day.
But my folks went to midnight mass, so my soul is saved. Nyah, nyah. :p
haaha... nice:
North -> 100,000 +
Houston -> 1
We're starting to catch up!
I do hope you guys get the snow you deserve though!
That must be so weird to see snow for the first time
That's cool that's it snowed in Texas.
I feel bad for those who had childhoods with no snow. It's like the greatest thing on earth when you're a kid.
I don't think I could live in a place with really snowy winters though. I'm used to living in one of the rare Canadian places that gets hardly any snow. It's raining on Christmas like every other year for me.
We get fairly heavy winters (re: snow) in NY, but I wish I was in a place that had snow for like 7-8 months a year. And preferably night for 3 months straight, too.Quote:

We’ve got ice covering everything in town. The trees look like they're made of crystal or some shit. Plus, there’s a shit-ton of snow everywhere. And it's supposed to be way worse in Northern Ohio.
But snow in southern Texas is pretty fuckin nuts.
Wow. Some of you would DIE in Canada.
It's all gone now =(
I went out to a friends christmas eve party (had rum and sushi, played rez and made snowballs and stuff). They live in Houstons Westchase District and it was crazy to see these tall buildings wrapped in falling snow and the all the ground (except the streets) turning white. It was cold outside, but I don't think I ever activly took notice of it. I was giggleing like an idiot. Snow is the most badass weather phenomenon in the world. Pretty cool that it happend on Christmas too. Another standout is that my granddad died today too. It's pretty sad, but he was very old and at least he was happy last I saw him (which is rare, when I was growing up, he was always an old, turse, bitter, callous, racsit old man). Strange christmas this year.
Yeah man, snow is nature's gift to man.
Yes, I like how you said "the woman." Adds to the effect. It's so dire even around "the city." ;_;Quote:

It's like the cold, you can almost see it.
Incorrect. Anchorage has a decent amount of hot chicks.Quote:

I would say at least half of the snow in our town is still here. In fact, a five foot snowman on our patio is staring at me through the window right now. Across the street at the school playground, eight inches of snow is still on the ground. It is f'n crazy. I still can't believe this happenedQuote:

Replace sledding with football, and you have some of the greatest moments of my childhood.Quote:

But if you live there, I'm sure you know what you're talking about.
What part of Anchorage are you in?
