Snow! Hmmm.  Let's see. I have heard of it.  Is that the white stuff that falls to the ground on mountains way up north?  I think it requires 32F to form.  I think I saw  some once many years ago. It was about 1/16 on an inch thick.  Cool to the touch if I recall. Only lasted about 30 minutes. Turned to water I think.


CAN I HAVE SOME? PLEASE,PLEASE?

We are used to two kinds of weather in Texas - hot, and dry.  It is usually either hot or dry or both, actually just about always both.

Don't have any snow stories (wish I did) but we do have some freezes in Texas - if only people could learn to drive in them.  Anyway we lived in Port Lavaca at the time.  We were driving home when we saw some lights revolving in the distance. Looked almost like from a police car except they were white.  When we got there we saw a pickup truck spinning like a top on a bridge.  Apparently some lady was driving her pickup across the bridge and felt it slip just a little bit.   You guessed it, she slammed on the brakes.  Eventually the truck stopped spinning.  My dad spoke to her briefly just to reassure her and she drove safely off.  The moral of the story is: No matter how good you are at driving in snow, if it snows, freezes, rains, gets a little cloudy, wind is blowing, etc. Beware of Texas drivers! :-)
