I thought West Texas got quite a bit of snow (maybe that's just relative to us here in SE Oklahoma/N. Texas though).

Swiggles - had a similar situation when I lived in Central Georgia. Enough snow to coat the grass and panic ensued. I'm from Southern Indiana and it wasn't anything really.

FINALLY ABOVE the gnat line

No snow here, but I am building an ark! They are closing the schools tomorrow because of the excessive amount of rain - bridges washed out, roads washed out, flash flooding - no where near my house thankfully. A number of tornados south of us in Florida along the coast - I'm sure those folks are under water already. Maybe this will be enough to fill up the aquifers.

How much snow are we talking here, Swiggles... a inch? .....maybe. As far as snow here.....it snows, if we're lucky (or unlucky depending upon how one wants to view it) a couple of times per year and it's gone the next day or within a couple of days. Every few years or so, we might get a heavy snow that lasts longer, but it's rare. North of me (I'm in Lubbock), they see more snow even as close as a couple of hours north. Some of the highways are closed because it's so wide open and flat (farmland) that the blowing snow reduces visability to nothing.....like a white out. That IS dangerous.

I guess it is relative then because by "quite a bit of snow" i guess i meant "more than one dusting of snow a year", which is pretty typical for here.

I heard their scientific explanation on the radio yesterday. Since the globe is warming, it causes more moisture in the air, thus causing the more snow and rain events.

if there is more moisture in the air causing more rain and snow, i wonder how they explain that 29% of the US in in severe drought

Areas around Lubbock received nearly a foot of snow, add the 50 mph winds and it's like Siberia up there! I don't think swiggles will be working today.

Was bright and sunny when I left work yesterday and most streets were clear. 'Course the temps dropped below freezing last night and so there's lots of "black ice." This morning, some school closures announced and some with a late start. Other than that, it's business as usual. The snow that was remaining on my driveway and sidewalks yesterday, I shoveled onto the lawn and flower beds rather than see it melt and run down the gutter. THAT'S how crazy one gets in a drought area (year 3).
