We finally got our cool front in Texas and it's 56 degrees now & quite chilly out. Had some cold wind & rain this afternoon but I'm sure glad it wasn't snow. About Thanksgiving or Christmas time - yes, I'll wish for snow. I remember back in the late '70's - it snowed one year the weekend before Thanksgiving in Dallas and Fort Worth. And then that Christmas Eve snow in 2009! That was pretty deep for us. I think where I live we had 8" - some 13". And then the Superbowl of 2011, snow and ice and 8 - 9 degrees overnight one or two nights within a two week period and other nights just in the low teens. Brrrr. But at least our forays into really cold weather are few and short-lived. I remember that pile of snow they kept showing in Boston from that really bad bad snow they kept having - what was it - 2 - 3? years back - that stayed piled up into the late Spring before it melted! I was shocked to see that - I didn't know cities piled up on their snow from blocks around into giant piles & just left it and it stayed there for months!
Sure hope you all warm up soon. It's too soon for bad cold - time enough for that this winter!!!
