Really sorry to see that Don. A guy from Amarillo called here yesterday, it was +34F here and -1F there.

Global harming, not warming.

Should have been in San Antonio in Jan 1985. We got 13 inches of that nasty white stuff then.

Ya should have seen me doing the dance so you all could experience what we have been being dealing with the last few months.I am just glad when it hit I was at home laughing my rear end off as I know Texas's version of a salt truck is a pickup with 10 bags of rock salt from Home Depot and 2 guys shoveling it onto the roads... .......Andy

It was kind of nice yesterday to just sit back and watch the snow and enjoy a couple of adult beverages!!! How about today! 70* by the end of the week.

Hoss we actually use Magnesium Chloride on the streets instead of salt. Well at least some cities do. The snow didn't stick to the roads here anyways so it wasn't a big issue.

I did have a ball playing with the next door kids. Their dad and I made them a giant snow slide. Pretty good times. And snow is always better then ice which Dallas usually will get hit with when we get any freezing precipitation. But it was a beautiful morning with the sun out and the snow blanketed fields and trees.
