I’m in Tucson. Haven’t seen any snow in person since Easter of 2000 I think it was.

I was born and raised in California, and never saw snow except for rare visits to the mountains during the winter. Now that I'm in North Texas, I see snow every winter.

We even had a white Christmas last year. It was spectacular. First time it had snowed here on Christmas day in over 65 years. Even a lot of elderly native Texans had never seen one here.

I spent my formative years in Chicago. We call snow “white $#!+” and I had my fill of it when Ford was still in the White House. We (Tucson) had a really big snow storm on Christmas back in the 80s (87 or 88), snow on cactus did look interesting for about 20 minutes. Problem of course is it stayed most of the day. I’ll never understand why people like snow, very grateful my family chose to get out of the snowbelt when they did (right before Chicago had record snowfall 3 years running).
