I find it odd that this super snowstorm only affected Texas and not any other states north of it. Or maybe there’s a political reason for all the news media attention. Nah, that’s crazy talk.
I wondered how he gets the photos, too. I guess the same way he does his “snowflake preservation” thing:
“All this has to be done outside in the cold. You have to be careful that heat from your hands doesn’t melt the crystal, and even just breathing on your snowflake can be detrimental. If you find that the crystals are melting no matter what you do, then you may just have to wait for a colder day. Handling snowflakes is generally easier in colder conditions; it can be downright frustrating when the temperature is just below freezing.”
In other words, by not letting anything warm touch them.
The guy who runs the site is a Caltech professor of physics. This would be a great site for kids who like to play scientist in their own backyards when it snows.
Prudence would suggest one not believe everything one is lead to *see* on videos until verified by multiple independent sources. The weather that hit Texas was not just snow and ice but a gigantic arctic cold mass. There is no way that such a huge air mass (covered Canada and almost all of the USA continent) could be manipulated by humans.
Additionally, given we are now in a solar minimum, the likelihood is that the weather is a reflection of that change.
Also weather records for the US Continent are only reliable back to just before the start of the 20th century as the ability to accurately record temperatures was not possible until then. We have no data as to what winter temperatures were in the area that is now Texas during the 15-18th centuries. Even though what happened this month was unprecedented from our record keeping standpoint, it is not possible to extrapolate backwards in time to state it has never happened before in the past.
Thanks for your comment.
I’m in that boat. I have experienced very little snow. But our whole family said the same. It was weird. We in houston (north) are used to snow that is soft and fragile. And it the way it fell was strange. Conspiracy didn’t even cross our minds until people notice the same thing. Then I was like I might need to screw my tin foil hat on tighter. Lol.
And then I still had snow in my yard saturday when temps were in the 50s.
That was after it seemed weird to us.
I just assumed snow variations were normal.
I noticed a milky residue dried on my shoes after walking in the snow. Never melted any for water.
Biggest surprise here was 2 ice storms and 1 big snow in the span of 5 days. Also had an 8 inch snow in Jan.

“What’s the frequency, Kenneth?”
Dave’s not here, man.
If you’ve lived in COLD WORLD you usually have an understanding of the concept of thermal mass and heat loss.
You were surprised to see snow even though the temps were in the 50’s because every other time it snowed the ground (big thermal mass) had not been at below freezing and that much below freezing for so long a period of time, losing heat and so it was still relatively warm and so the snow on it melted away very fast.
You are used to snow only when the temps are somewhere around freezing and so the snow is wet. If it falls wet and then if the temp drops hard, it freezes very hard on the ground.
Eskimos have 50 words for “snow’.
The one used for this post translates to “crazy”.
BiglyC. got it...several days with afternoon highs below freezing after a significant snowfall....very rare for Texas:
Yep
Yep ve lived in the northern Rockies
Tons of “dry” snow because of the cold
We just aren’t used to that here
Shoveling that ultralight powder is almost effortless compared to super wet which is like shoveling cinder blocks lol
That makes so much sense. Thank you!
Can you give a link to these YouTube vids?
We saw something similar to what you’ve described. Hubby said it was just the way the wind was circulating.
Raised in snow country, I was told, don’t eat the first snow, it has Strontium 90 in it.
Tell ya what...if people suddenly start dropping dead in Texas in mass droves...especially white males...THEN I’ll worry.
Bump
IMHO Anyone that would buy wholesale Government weather control probably also believes that car exhaust and cow farts have caused global warming.
