The joke was utterly unecessary.

Freezing is good for killin Skeeters.

Got about 14 inches up to when I left for work this morning and it's still falling. Looks like our first snow of the year's gonna be an in your face storm. But then we're use to that up here *lol*

Dang, I saw on the news you guys are in for a nasty one too. good luck with that. At least up here we're set up to deal with it. I'm sure the kids will be getting a big kick out of it though. We can blame all the snow and cold on Global Warming of course.

Well, believe it or not, WE are going to have snow and a hard freeze tomorrow, too! Amazing for this part of Texas! It is supposed to drop down around 22-24 degrees, and people were packing the grocery stores and gas stations today making sure they had ample provisions. I'm not kidding you. Whenever it gets much below freezing (especially with precipitation) around here, people go into panic mode. You will see parkas with hoods when the temp drops into the lower 50s. It is hilarious if you've ever lived where it really does get very cold. However, since it doesn't often happen that we get lots of ice and snow, we don't have as much of the road-clearing equipment that colder climes take for granted. Generally, if ice is in the forecast, schools are cancelled, etc. Our roses and other flowers were loaded with gorgeous blooms this afternoon. Guess it's hasta la vista for them til next spring!

Well, then, Darkwolf, come on down…or across, whatever the case may be.

" Everybody on the tarmac nearly cracked up. "

Count me in on that laugh. Spent half a summer doing bootcamp at Lackland AFB and the rest of it up in Witchita Falls. I must have lost ten pounds in 3 months. *lol*

Darkwolf, we'd love to have you. But, I can clearly advise: If you like the cold, learn to love the Panhandle-South Plains area. Lubbock, for instance, gets the changing of the seasons, and can, on occasion, have 30 days below freezing. Snowed there the last couple of nights. It can also get above 107-108 in the summer, but it's a dry heat, and not as bad as the same temp in, say, Dallas, or the Hill Country.

On the other hand, since you're an engineer, you might also fit really well in the Austin, Dallas, or Houston areas. Austin might see a snowflake every few years, but it's an event when it falls. Dallas gets more snow and ice, but if you're lookin' for cold in Houston, take the scenic route to another part of the state.

True story: when Spurs' player, Tim Duncan, first arrived in San Antonio in late spring or early summer, he stepped off the plane and said, "This is as hot as it gets here, right?" Everybody on the tarmac nearly cracked up.

We have been thinking about such a move. If it comes down to leaving, it will either be Texas or Alaska (we tend to like the cold).
