In my 25 years of living on the Texas coast, we have never had snow. Well, it snowed once back in the 80's, but it didnt stick.

Well, that all changed. Christmas eve we got 6"-8" of snow!!! It was crazy, and it still seems like it didnt happen. Im just glad I snapped some pictures. See my photo gallery for the pics. Hopefully the admins will have them approved by the time I post this. If not, check back later.

For most of yall, this is nothing to get suprised about. But we never get snow. The kids enjoyed it, and we had the biggest snowball fight! Its was so much fun. Im just glad it doesnt do this all the time. The clean up process is a mess!!! lol.....

later.

PK,
Just think of snow as an excuse to get new toys:


(by the way, that is why I don't live up north anymore)

I would love that much snow at my house all we get is frikin rain

 

We got pea sized HAIL last night in Southern California.
Then again, the standard way of predicting weather in Califronia is by traffic reports. Usually, when they say "3-Car Pile-Up on 91" it means a light rain, "4-Car Collision Across All Lanes" means a heavy rain and "3 Jack-Knifed Big Rigs Wrecking a Honda" means a streaker. This morning they said "One Lane Open on 91 due to 8 Car Pile-Up." I was wondering what would cause that, then they said hail. New one on me. Never seen that before.

Darn global warming.

 

Hey guys I have ot laugh at you guys cuz I live up north her ein Canada and **** we got 2 feet here on new years eve and new years day adn I love it adn even for the past 4 days its been -40'C which is what.. -48'F thats with out wind Chill and man I love the snow we have it for about 4-5 months of the year and I love goin out and pullin out peopel out of the ditches... just thought I'd tell ya how lifes goin up here EH... hahhaha

 

That is sick man...but i work in chambers testing cars and engines at -40F and up, its gettin old i tell ya. I went down to san antonio and padre island for x-mas and we got 5" out at padre!!!! Couldn't believe it me and my sis built snow men.

 

Welcome to my world...hope you boys got some cold to go along with the snow....

 

Pssst Tank 66, -40 is -40 pick your scale. Its the only place they're the same.

 

I've been wondering where the snow's been this year! All I've seen is heavy frost.
Congratulations on the perfect timing of the snow storm Phillp.

 

Thanks Nat. You guys have to understand our exitement down here though. This NEVER happens! It is something we will never forget.

I just got a kick out of all our animals,,,,they didnt have a clue! Except our lab, he was diving into the creek for a swim like it was 150 F outside...lol.... I was like, dude what are you smoking....

Oh yea, xmas eve it got down in the twenties, and then xmas day the high was in the 50's.

 

That's crazy! Must be weird for people who aren't used to it. Supposed to get down to -38 here in a couple days.

Yeah I drove through that snowstorm and freezing cold In SK on New Years day.

 

Driving through SK is the only way.. But at -30 that is just cruel. The National highway has no protection from the wind, that would be pretty scary..

Glad you made it Tool..

What a time for my high idle solenoid to cack.

 

Id have to agree with that....

 

They don't call it "The Gap" for nothing...........!


There was however a someone I needed to stop off and see on my way......

She made the trek alot more worthwhile.



It was a miserable pig of a drive though........ Visibility was often nill... The Highway from Fargo North Dakota up across to Bismark was probably the worst. A 4wd fight the whole way.

I crossed into SK at Sherwood.

That is the most hillarious excuse for a border crossing I have ever seen. I thought I had come to a cattle gate!
