We received 3-4 inches of snow overnight here in the extreme northern part of the Texas Hill Country. Never got above freezing all day.

Having just thawed out from 29 Palms I can now sympathize with you.
Keep warm!

I'm here in downtown San Antonio, TX on a business trip. There was a quarter inch of ice covering everything this morning. The news says there is snow north of town. Can't wait to get back to Florida.

Texas Skiers
Apologies in advance to Texans. But given the recent weather this may be apropro. I even know a few Texans. 
For you easterners, there is this rivalry thing between Texans and New Mexicans. Texas as you know is purdy flat. I have been told there are some places in Texas if you stand on a billy can and stare at the horizon hard enough you can see the back of your head.  New Mexico has some purdy fair ski areas.
From a New Mexico Ski Resort bathroom wall "If God meant for Texans to ski he would have made bull**** white.

As posted a few posts above, it is getting warmer here, up to the 20s in the overnight.
However, last night we got rain, then it froze. I've never seen so many bad California-I don't know how to slow down-drivers in my life. Our drivers out here have enough trouble driving in the rain and snow, let alone ice.
All you in the mid west, be careful and hang in there.

Yeah, the inlaws north of town in Boerne, TX sent me some pictures and ice and SNOW at their house. Too slick to walk outside, let alone drive. They are originally from New Orleans, and while they have seen snow there in the past, they have never seen such a persistent ice and snow storm as this one here in Texas. With their tin roof, they have been having HUGE sheets of ice slide side down and off the roof.
I'm not sure what is better, 2 inches of ice or 8 feet of snow . . .

Cooooool
Most of Manitoba got down to -35 degrees C. for 2 or 3 days. One of those days was a raging blizzard with whiteouts on the highways. The R.C.M.P closed down several sections of highways in Manitoba and Saskatchewan because of bad visibility.Oh well - should warm up by June

What I don't get is this global warming thing. I am certainly doing my part to help out. I have 4 gas guzzling vehicles, a riding mower, gas weed whacker, gas pressure washer, and so do all my neighbours. Yet here we sit with our 16th storm of the year, snow on the ground and it's darn cool out at a coupleo of degrees above zero celcius (mid 30's F). Geesh.  This is more like global cooling if you ask me

That's the thing about global warming. The temps will increase for a while and then it will be cold like we could never imagine it. Watch the movie an inconvenient truth. I am afraid that our airstreams won't even be able to keep us warm enough. Sunday and monday here in atlanta it was short sleeves and sandals - 75 degrees. This morning we had a thin layer of ice.
