Gotta love December in Texas

Crazydad · Dec 9, 2008

We had a record high of 81F this afternoon and by 9:30pm it was 36F and the cars were covered in sleet (I know the picture isn't great, just a quick snapshot)

That's why I love Texas!

Update, we have now had some snow! So in the space of 7 hours we went from 81 to snow sticking on the cars.

I would kill for 36, it's -6 here in WI at the moment. And we have a foot of snow on the ground.

For us to get ANY snow in December is rare (Austin has never had a white Christmas), especially when 7 hours earlier the temp was 50 degrees higher.

Of course if we had a foot of snow, the city would completely shut down and I wouldn't have to go to work. :mrgreen:

You must not understand the HUGE deal snow is! I mean...it snowed at 11:00 PM...I had three friends and my mother call to tell me. Everyone was outside throwing mini snowballs. :lol:

.

I have never had a white christmas either...(native Austinite)

We got more here on the coast than you guys up north. This was about 3 hours worth.

We're only 20 miles from Galveston. This is very rare for us. Last snow was Christmas Eve 2004.

Wow! You did get some snow! I saw on TV that New Orleans got some snow too! I believe it was the first snow in four years or something.

hahah, yeah. it's weird. I was in Houston a few years ago in March, and it was muddy and raining.. coming from Montreal covered in white, and landing in Texas being relatively green, warm and wet.. sooo strange for a Canadian.
