“According to the Texas Film Commission, snow is uncommon in most of the state.”

Yes, always consult the state’s film commission for potential weather events.

When a hurricane is bearing down on the Texas coast, or there are tornado outbreaks on the plains, all Texans tune into the Texas Film Commission.

Those counties listed above are either border counties or close to the Mexican border. Not a good reference point for property taxes.

Heat, hogs, hurricanes, gators, illegals, mosquitos and chupacabras. Sometimes all in one day.

It was hot as blazes this week in H town.

On the plus side, humidity was only 90% overnight, so we had that going for us.

Except when it isn’t.

Couple of years ago, Victoria Texas got 12 inches of snow in December.

Victoria is about 300 miles from Mexico and near the Gulf of Mexico.

We've been in the state for almost five years. Our kid for seven years. There are some good and bad things about living here. For those considering Central Texas, be forewarned that the growth rate has far exceeded the area's ability to manage water resources properly, among other things.

I thought California was bad at water management. Holy crackers! We've been on water restrictions (once a week outdoor water) for over three years now. It isn't getting better with the continued drought in the state. In 100F+ degree summer weather with little to no rain, the landscapes are getting fried. We're in the middle of the dark red blob in the center of the state. Ugh.

Stay away!

We have massive tarantulas, brown recluse, fire ants, destructive tornadoes, winter freezes, blistering heat, no EV charging stations, lots of guns, and plenty of triggering Trump flags.

We don’t need more damn yankees or Californians looking to turn Texas blue.

If I hadn’t moved to NC, I would have moved to Texas, one son lives there and I love it there.

I remember that it snowed once in San Antonio while I was in basic at Lackland AFB. Some of us had to explain to the southerners what it was.

So by the time I got to Shepard for tech school and it snowed there, most people had an idea what snow was. Wichita Falls; 85 degrees during the day and snow overnight. The world travelers among us explained that the weather there was because there was nothing more than 2 stories tall between us and the North Pole, so when the wind came down from the north in February you could smell the moose poop,

I lived in Amarillo for a couple of years. There was an expression there that there was nothing between the panhandle and the north pole but barbed wire fence.

“Wound care dressings (such as bandages) will be tax-free.”

That would be a HUGE plus in Chicago.

Who the hell would want to move to Texas when Biden is going to force illegals to remain in Texas?
