Anyone who says a winter storm like this is rare in Texas hasnt spent time or grown up in Texas. Exactly right. Even back to the early statehood days, blue northers were famous. And I can’t count how many ice storms in Texas I’ve been through.
But these days, dishonesty is the coin of the realm.
I was only stationed there (Goodfellow AFB in San Angelo) for six months 32 years ago and we got an ice storm that covered my car in 3/4" of solid ice.
