It rarely snows in Central Texas, but once every many years and here it has snowed twice in one year. Sure this is nothing like what other states get but pretty cool to see snow here. It just started and is coming down pretty good. Hope it keeps up for a while.  NRA Benefactor Life Member | ||

The cold weather must be stuck on Mopac. Or 35 South. Now get out there and make me a snow angel. ___________________________ He looked like an accountant or a serial-killer type. Definitely one of the service industries. | |||

Just think what it would be like if we were not experiencing "Global Warming!" | |||

Just looked at the radar and it looks like a small band passing through so it won’t be much. It is strange that earlier the Weather Channelsaid it was 26 degrees and now it says it is 37. NRA Benefactor Life Member | |||

I thought snow was supposed to warm things up from freezing for some reason. | |||

Radar has that snow area now south of Austin, moving this way, but it is a very small area of precipitation. Now 30 here, forecast to be 24 low tonight. Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way.

The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown | |||

I brought the plants indoors before sundown. Friends report snow nearby but a dram of scotch, a soft couch, and the Beverly Hillbillies have transfixed kablammo. https://youtu.be/6lWO3Xmwq50 The Great Feud episode.

Just a light dusting out here "a little west of weird". Temp in the low twenties. There is a reason that I live south and this kind of weather is a major part of it. | |||

17 here in Brewster county. A thick coat of frost on everything. Fingers crossed we don't have a power outage. | |||

Now in Florida |
I remember when I was in school in Austin in the early 90s, there was a freeze warning, and the entire UT campus closed fr the day. No classes, no buses, libraries closed, etc. Coming from Chicago, I thought that was a bit of an overreation. | |||

When I was at UT, ~50 years ago, it snowed. I had set the alarm early, to spend the morning in the language lab, KTBC radio (now KLBJ) was on, saying there had been a pretty good snow overnight, schools would be closed, UT closed, so I jumped back in bed. As the morning wore on, about 9 o’clock, Austin PD announced there had been 143 accidents, they were overwhelmed; if you had one, just push the cars to the side of the road. The Texas Supreme Court met, though, the judges brought to the Capitol on National Guard half tracks! They had no snow removal equipment, probably, anywhere south of Dallas. I stayed warm and dry in the squalid little basement of the decrepit little house that the Dean of Student Housing had adjudged “Approved.” Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

Snow didn’t make it to Wimberley. Sure is cold though. | |||

Snow didn't make it to North Houston, but it was chilly by Texas standards. Hit 30F last night and was still 35 when I fired up the BGE at noon.

I think that's a tree trunk wrapped in lights for the holidays. No snow here. Cold, yes, but no snow. flashguy Texan by choice, not accident of birth | |||
