Winter in Texas

1. My son lives just south east of Austin..he'll enjoy this 😉

2. That is so funny. But I guess they don't get tons of snow like up north. Going to have another cold

blast this week end. Just noticed the car has chains on the back tires. WTH?

3. I may well be the only person in the Dallas/Fort Worth area with a set of chains

I got them immediately after our first snow blast in decades and after getting them I immediately realized I'd never use them. The next year we got another pretty good snow and I used them for a couple of days. The most satisfying part was passing a city truck with a snow plow who was stuck on a hill.

5. Major, good thinking. Funny you passed the plow.

4. Don't need a snow plow. We don't get snow enough to notice and

when we do everything closes up.

We get ice. No such thing as an ice plow.

It is a good measure of how many people are new to the state. Newbies try to drive in the ice. Nobody can drive in the ice. It thins the herd.

6. I have used studded tires in Pittsburgh and they worked pretty good. Bad thing is you can only have

on from October to March. Actually, nothing is good on ice, but the studs did me somewhat better traction.
