SE Texas, 55mi north of Houston. Not as much frost as You, I’m sure, but frosted yards and frosted cars. I had a frosted windshield Wed morning when I went to leave for town. Lots of humidity here and that factors into the picture for frost. Frost is some calculated event figuring humidity, dew point, temp, cloud cover. I noticed it Wed that open areas not covered by tree canopies were a little frosty, but no frost in my yard, except the top sides of my trucks.

Now snow... That would surprise me! In all my years living on the gulf coast of Al, I have only seen snow there, on the ground, maybe 6-7 times. The city shunts down and goes into panic mode if it should snow any visible amount and sticking. You would laugh yourself to death seeing that circus.

Sounds like it. I had a friend that moved from here to Atlanta. She said people just abandoned their cars in the middle of the highways and it was less than 2”. LOL

The worst winter we had was when we got about 21” overnight in January. I couldn’t even get out of the driveway, and had only been working in St. Louis for about 6 months. I couldn’t get any answers from my supervisor or her boss.

So I wound up calling the main number and just letting it ring and ring. Finally Security answered and said the company was closed for the day, so not necessary to come in.

A few days later we got another 8” and so forth and so one for all of January and February. School was out of session for 2 months. The back roads could never get clear enough for the buses to run.

Practice makes perfect. I got lots of practice driving on snow and ice that winter especially.LOL
