| Words Of Wisdom said: The rapidly changing climate is not just in Texas. It's like that in the central northern states as well as the southern ones. Snow is quite rare in some parts of Texas. Just depends on where you are. Nope, it didn't even stick anywhere (or so I hear, I was out of town that weekend). It's probably a good thing though because people in Texas flip out when there's even a hint of snow and start driving like fucktards. It's like that everywhere in the south. Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana...etc. Just a hint of snow and bang, gotta rush to the stores to buy bread, milk, and canned goods because the world is ending. Meanwhile, go up to Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan and people will still be going to school/work during mini-blizzards. I also think drivers also get crazy in general everywhere south of St. Louis. |
I grew up in Texas and for the most part we dont get real snow at least in the east. They got plenty out west and in the panhandel but its like a whole differnt state over there the accents are even different. It might snow once or twice a year and stick about every five years in north east Texas. If it even hints at snowing all the Schools close down cause thaty dont want to run the buses. I moved to Idaho a few years ago and driving on sleet and black ice like we get at home is a lot different than driving on the snowpack we get up here. I now understand why the Eskimos have so many different words for snow as there are so many different types of snow. We never got anything but wet snow at home.
If youve ever seen The Outlaw Josey Whales an old Clint Eastwood movie it does a better job than most of showing how some parts of Texas actually look. One of the Few movies I've seen that shows East Texas full of pine trees.
