Yeah, this has to drive you nuts. It not like snow in the Mountains there is some strange event. :evil:
The news broadcasts go overboard here too. They make a state of emergency out of anything. Sometimes they hype the ever-living crap out of some pending DOOM...only for it to never even happen. #@$@!!%$#. It's all about ratings. You get the feeling they LOVE the worst possible stuff to happen. Some reporters can't even contain that little smile when they have a hot story of someones tragety. You wanna smack the make-up right off their Lead story face.

But now ice and snow in South Texas....that's kinda like Hell freezing over. Even the Bad Ass Stud Horse is whinnying kinda high pitched....and tip toeing all sissy-like.

This oughta bring all the Fire Ants inside... :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

That's like here where at the mere threat of a storm, the local news preempts all programming for about 48 hours until all the weather is over :shock:
Oh yeah.... I KNOW!!! Meteorologists just LIVE for this stuff!!! Every time a tornado comes CLOSE to the Carolinas... the "Severe Weather Desk" pre-empts ALL prime time coverage until it is over! :lol:

Of course, we WERE hit by HUGO back in '89!!

I KNOW why Roadhog is laughing! I used to live in Denver!! But, someone DID make a good point about how FLAT it is in Michigan! :wink:
[Though I'm not sure I've EVER seen a 10% grade in TEXAS!!]


:lol:

No, not the freeways, but a few side roads here are, and some are where school buses go.

I just came back from going to the store down the street. The snow birds down here must be rolling on the floor laughing over all the fuss down here.. :roll: Roads are just not cold enough to have anything stay, but the over passes might be a problem.

I Forgot to let the Jimmy warm up, soon as Pulled out of carport, rain froze on window, and Pi$$er froze. Ahh, felt like the good ole days up north.

Probably due to the tilt in the axis of the Earth, the REAL cause of Global Warming!

I suggest that NEXT year you try hunting DOWNHILL!!!

And leave a few of those "pints" behind! :shock: :lol:
