The Weather

[howdy ya'll]

Do we think we are going to get snow this year? I really like the rain and the cooler temperatures. My kids have never seen snow until we moved here. I remember one time it started to snow where we lived at 2 in the morning, so I woke the kids up to see the 2 flakes that fell and melted as soon as it landed.....They were not impressed.

Now, the snow we got sense we have been here impressed them.

In fact, I have never bought coats and gloves until we moved out here, we just had light jackets.

Howdy, "Howdy"! It may do it! We seem to get a pretty good sprinkling of the pretty white stuff around Jan. sometimes, Feb. I have a picture I made of it last year I'll try to rig up on here. Not to be nosy, hopefully, where did you guys move here from? Sounds like maybe a warmer climate.

I'll go hunt up that picture and see if it will fly.

Okey doke.

Lemme see if I can get this little pup to post for ya', Howdy.

We came from the Houston area.

That is quite a bit of snow.....that is not melted.lol

I see. Yep, you're likely to see some of this before the winter is done if we are running an average winter. It is a sight to behold!

Nice picture. Is Houston too far south for snow? I guess the humidity has something to do with it.

Interesting stat....when we are in a neutral pattern (No El Nino - No La Nina) like this Winter..... we have a 50% chance of temperatures at night getting below 10 degrees.

You are kidding? That is like insane cold. I am going back to Houston! hahaha just kidding, no way on God's green earth I am going back to Houston. I will tough out the cold and love the freedom and the big skies!

ah, now I know to post weather topics in the Meet & Greet area in order to get replies...:D:D

[howdy ya'll]

Strangely enough, I do not recall starting this thread in Meet and Greet. Oh well if I did. Dont think the forum will come to an end because of it.

global warming.. haven't you heard?;)

i think abilene has an ordinance in effect prohibiting snow.

[Texas Streak]

One thing is for sure around Abilene, they have a theory about snow. "If God put it down, let Him take it away."

If you look at the science behind it, it actually makes winters worse (colder and more precipitation) and summers worse (hotter, bigger storms "Ike").
