If you've flipped on the news any time in the last week, you've seen the "Arctic blast" we got down here. Here are a few pics of the aftermath. I'll post a pic of the R when I get home so this will officially be ITR related. haha It's not every year we get weather like this and 3 days of it was more than enough for me. I know you folks up north get REAL winter but this is as good as it gets around here.

 

Awesome pics. thats more winter than we have seen in the Northeast. We finally got a dusting of snow last night. But thats all Ive seen around here other than a few flurries.

 

You call that winter...??

Hehe...

Sorry, mobilepic....but you get the idea

 

holy cat! I don't know what I'd do in weather like that! haha

 

I hate texas. Freeze!

 

Global Warming....Al Gore says....I told ya so!!

HA!

Like RTW said, a dusting last night... that has been it for the southern part of NY all year.

 

lol that's intense

 

wtf ..... i want a damn blizzard

 

Having grown up in Texas, I know those ice storms are worse than any snow storm.

 

We got a little snow/ice mix yesterday morning, just enough to fubar the commute. They're calling for ? on Sunday (seriously, one forecast I saw just had a question mark ).

[edit]

 

I can't believe you guys got that much ice in Texas...I always thought it was warm all the time there.

 

i was in texas for those days of snow and ice. My plane got delayed for that.

Its so funny, how everybody reacts to snow and ice down there. its so uncommon for u guys to goet snow. So everybody was panicing. lol it was so weird. THey closed down so many stores just for a little ice and slush

Exactly.

What you northerners don't understand is that we don't get snow in Texas; we get ice. Sheets of ice covering everything. And while you can drive on snow without too much trouble if you know what you're doing, you can't even walk on the ice we get. I don't care what kind of winter tires you have, it isn't going to work.

Winters in Texas are typically fairly cold, although not very long. We usually see temps between 20-40 F in winter, although it's not uncommon to have a week of 30s followed by a few days in the 80s. Hell, this week started with ice and sleet, and they're predicting mid-60s for the weekend.

No wine from these vines...

 

Al Gore was probably right

"[Global warming is] code for U.N. commissars telling Americans what temperature it's gonna be in our outdoors. I say, let the world warm up! See what Boutros Boutros-By-Golly thinks about that! We'll grow oranges in Alaska!"

"Dale, we live in Texas where it already gets to 110 degrees in the Summer. If it gets one degree hotter I'm gonna kick your ***! [/hankhill]
