When the yankees get pounded in the north, we get a little as well.1343c458d75f609653148f610e195081.jpg

Parts of it. Texas is a BIIIG state (and worth visiting - especially the parts that are not Houston). Even us d*** yankees know it.

1) I LIKE Houston!
2) was trying to fly to Lubbock once, and ice required us to go to Amarillo, instead, and take the bus south.

Desert covered in snow... Who knew?
 
Yes Stephen. I've lived here south of Houston 37 years now and I've seen it snow 6 times. The first was in 1980-81 when I lived on Galveston Island in the Gulf. That was mostly sleet/freezing rain with lots of multi car pile ups. The two most recent snows, this one and one a 13 years back were wet snow. Thirteen years back the folks on Galveston made snowmen on the beach LOL.
This one is gone already after the sun came up. :(

I should mention which plants were in the snow; 4 armenicum which 3 are in bud, 2 esquirolei, 2 tigrenum, a micranthum and 2 villosum.

Fingers crossed.

What I remember about Texas is going through the worst ice storm I'd ever driven in. And I'm from Michigan!
 
When I first got out of school I lived in Dallas and worked for Texas Instruments near Richardson. I had to drive the Northcentral Expressway to get to work. My memories of Texas when it snowed is that everybody goes totally ape**** and doesn't know how to drive. Part of the problem is that they don't have the equipment to deal with it like they do in the states that regularly get snow.
 
Not sure about the others, but the Parvi species should be all right. Many years ago, the late Dr. Jack Fowlie visited armeniacum habitat in China and it was so cold there, ice crystals had formed on the buds.
