Austin240Z Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Its snowing in Houston TX!!!!!! Got some sleet/snow mix in Austin last night. Cut my quality time with the 'ol wiring harness short. Supposed to freeze/sleet/snow again tonight. For you non Texan's... We dont see ice much. Usually when we get a decent freeze they have to shut the whole blasted city down because none of the people in Austin know how to drive on ice. Or at all.

naviathan Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 I think it was winter 2002 that I was stationed at Fort hood when it froze from San Antonio north on I35 and they completely shut down the interstate. I was on 35 when three semi trucks got stuck on an uphill slope. Just as we got the ice chipped out from under the tires enough for them to get going again the state troopers pulled up and stopped everyone again and shut it down. I ended up waiting three hours for sand trucks that never showed. I got tired of waiting and pulled through the shoulder onto an access road to get back to another side highway to get home. It was a long trip at no faster than 35, but in a 2wd S10 I wasn't going to risk ice skating off the road into the woods and never being heard from again.

RB26powered74zcar Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 WOW Forest, that's incredible... I've been up all night watching it come down, but we didn't get close to that accumulation... Baton Rouge: Once a decade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony D Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Baton Rouge: Once a decade. WOAH! What happened Forrest? You guys have a plane crash nearby and the fire department spray runway foam on your cars and property to protect it from the fire spreading??? What is this 'snow' you guys speak of, anyway? It was 75 here today, and this morning it was 65 in SoCal:mrgreen: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firm Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Wow, it actually snowed in Houston?! It didn't even snow here in Ft. Worth and we generally get snow once or twice a year. I'm kind of shocked here.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(goldfish) Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 It's to cold here to get that much accumulation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedgato Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Lived in Houston until 3rd grade.........snowed 2 years in a row! Some of my fondest memories are of Houston in the snow. ENJOY!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deja Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 They are talking about that snow hitting Atlanta tomorrow. We haven't had a good snow in years. Personally I can do without it, too many years since I lived in the North to enjoy snow anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srbigbutt Posted December 11, 2008 Author Share Posted December 11, 2008 I remeber growing up it seemed to snow more often. I remember we would all run out and take pictures before it melted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forrest Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Joel, believe it or not - that was just the first light coating. It started coming down really heavily an hour later and my car was totally covered, but unfortunately my camera battery died. It was pretty amazing...last time it snowed here it didn't get nearly this deep. I saw about 100 snowmen on the way to LSU. None of them stacked up against my neighbor's snoman though: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktm Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 When I was attending UT Austin for graduate school from 1994 to 1996, it snowed a few inches that winter with accumulation. There were over 800 accidents in a 24 hour period. While the news reporter was reporting the story on Mopac, you saw three accidents occur in the background.

People cant drive in this town... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
