Rare winter storm slams Texas with snow, ice and bitterly cold temps
On Sunday night, heavy snow was falling in the border town of Del Rio, according to footage posted to Twitter.
If you’re going to have snow, Texas, do it in December—or even better, November—when the whole thing seems new and fresh (surprising how you’ve fogotten what happened last winter, isn’t it?) and then hope it melts away. Because if you wait until now, the middle of February, it’ll be muy deprimente, drudgery, no fun at all.
Look at us. We have more than a foot of the stuff on the ground, and another six to eight inches scheduled for tonight, and we’re just wanting it to go away. (33 more days.)
OK, maybe not all of us. Some people like to ski (but isn’t that what mountains are for?) and some like to drive around on snowmobiles (which would make even less sense in a place like Texas). But all of us sensible people are done with it.
Also, when the snow goes away it gets warmer faster. So there’s that.
