Snow in Southeast Texas!

By JLP | December 11, 2008

Damn global warming is making everything cold!

Seriously, we got 3 to 5 inches of snow last night. That hasn’t happened since 1986 and I’m not sure they got that much then. I was in Kansas back in those days so I have no idea.

Anyway, I when I went to bed last night at about 11:30, it was sleeting outside. I then woke up at around 3 am and decided to take a peak outside to see if the ice was sticking. Low and behold, there was 3 to 4 inches of snow on the ground. It wasn’t sticking to the streets, driveways, and sidewalks, but it was sticking to everything else.

I went and got my wife and kids up and told them that they needed to come take a look. They were amazed. I know, some of you see snow all the time. We don’t down here in the deep south (we’re 40 miles from the Gulf of Mexico). For us it was a treat. The really cool thing is that it is supposed to warm up into the 50s so the snow will mostly be gone today.

The funny thing is that these measly 4 inches of snow caused my paper delivery person to take the freakin’ day off! What a wimp!
