Winter Ice Storm in Texas

[Slaphppy7]

Really? I assumed winters were pretty steady cold up there during the winter?
But then again, "Pacific Northwest" isn't very pacific...I mean, specific.....

Not pacific, not specific, that's us!

Oh, there you are on Google maps.....

Yep, the little undefined shape!

Strange thing about major snow storms here in western New York, everyone complains about the snow but everyone seems so happy when the big snow falls hit (of course, when they finally get home from work). Now personally I would rather be in Key West, Florida right now, 82 degrees and sunny. But if I am living in a colder climate, give me some snow.

For me the worst weather is 1C and rain....

I'm just not a snow person (mainly because it usually comes with icy roads, which skeer me to death), it's just rare here on the Gulf Coast, not as much up north toward Dallas and Amarillo and such...of course, the kiddies here love it, the few times in their lives they'll see it if they stay here...

Then you won't like it here. Last two days was -1C and today is rainy. People move here and get depressed due to the sun not showing up too often. I will wilt in hot weather! Had my share when I was younger and know I won't go back to heat if I can help it. Anything above 20C is a no no.

Finally got the pics of my daughters pool and waterfall. It is frozen. Also a pic of her walking in a snow bank. Note the slide too. She’s up closer to Waco, TX.

Before I got married, I was thinking about moving to Seattle. But those winters with drizzly everyday seem depressing. On the other hand, we get about the same amount of sunshine that Seattle gets, our winter suck....

I am not affected by the grey day and absolutely love to have mountains and ocean together, with the added bonus that everything stays green during winter.

New England winters are depressing to me, with everything turning drab after Autumn. The foliage show is stunning, though. Summers are too hot and humid.

I think I landed in the right place.

Wow...so the swim party was cancelled?
That's on her private property? No fence required around the pool?
Huge piece of land, nice and open, I like it.
