holy sh*t! THAT is an ice storm!
my mother called me from mississippi thursday morning just to tell me it was snowing. that's sort of a big deal for us.
I forget the year, it was 1980-something, when the headline of every major newspaper was accompanied by a photo of some beach babe in a parka in the snow holding up the Miami Hearald with its headline "Snow In Miami!".
I got a couple of calls from some of my oddballs in Houston the other night. They saw snow! Their windshields were frosted.
It's funny, really. My son, who moved to Norman/OK City a couple of years ago, calls me with his weather reports. "Dad, it's snowing"..."Son, it's 76 degrees here"..."Dad, HOW?"
What a difference a small geographical tilt to the south makes. That is why it can be snowing in Dallas and sunbathing in Houston/Galveston. Or 76 in Dallas and 26 in Norman.
