Never thought I would see a white Christmas in South Texas. Merry Christmas everyone!
Merry Christmas, Texas!!
This would appear to be the beginning of the end for the current Interglacial.
brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
This Texan wishes you and all your loved ones a Joyful Christmas!
This is indeed a rare event...!Merry Christmas!
It's snowing here now. I'm about halfway between Laredo and Hebbronville.
Gotta love Texas weather. A slight aside, the longest icecicles I've ever seen were hanging from the jetways at DFW. A fair bit north of you, but still, it was amazing.
Stay safe. Don't drive until it thaws.
with all of this cold weather from Texas to South Carolina, it makes one wonder-What about this "global warming" we keep hearing liberals talk about?
If we don't do something about this global warming, we are all going to freeze.
It's punishment for not signing the Kyoto Treaty (from Canada) ;)
This isn't fair!! We are in Bryan/College Station which is north of Corpus...no snow for us...humbug!!
Houston Snow Bump!
We get those alot. Enjoy.
Bush's fault.
It started to snow just as we were walking into Church for 5:30 Mass tonight.
Thanks, God. You delivered yet another incredible gift to us tonight.
Now you know why they call College Station "Malfunction Junction". LOL
(Ducking and running for cover)
Thankfully, I "think" we're still safe from it. Had to help hubby put sunscreen on his back so he could wear his tank top to the Hawaii Bowl this afternoon.
I am excited for you. We got some in Houston today. Some roofs were white for a few hours this afternoon around the Tanglewood area. I hope we get more tonight. Merry Christmas snow in Texas bump!
