Yeah me too! Took this picture of the elusive LittleFoot at about 7 am. It's kinda blurry, she's hard to catch. Yeah everyone be careful, I am determined to get an oil change today. It's supposed to get in the 40s this afternoon so it should be all gone by then.

Here's what we got in Austin. It looks like it's going to melt quickly.

You Texans crack me up.

BTW, I am from Texas (Corpus Christi, we don't get snow down there)

Anyway, funny story. You get snow and its gone 3 hours later.

One last thing, Texans CANNOT drive in the snow or ice. Just try driving in Dallas or San Antonio. Complete idiots.

I moved down here from Illinois last year and realized that. People freak out when there's a little bit of stuff on the ground.

What am I doing wrong on photo posting?

First I added the original image (which was jpeg file), and it said file was too large, so I shrunk it using Arc software, but now it's too small. What's the secret guys? I got a Roadster coming in, in a few weeks and I just know all of you want to see pictures of it, so I gotta get it right.

Thanks

This is such an ignorant thing to say. I get so sick of people wearing the fact that they live in a cold climate as some sort of badge of honor. Snow is easy to drive in, ice is not. No amount of driving skill or experience makes you better at dealing with ice that you lock up at 5mph easing onto the brakes. The difference is that in TX and other southern states is that we hover around the freezing point a lot more than most places. Where in CO you generally get rain, or snow, not sleet and ice. We also don't have roads designed for it (textured pavement) nor the trucks for laying down gravel. Then in CO you get chemicals put down on top of that.

Texans do suck at adverse weather, to some extent as a whole, but I doubt it's much worse than anywhere else.

If you read the entire thread, I SAID I USED TO LIVE IN TEXAS.
Texans cannot drive in snowy/icey weather. It doesnt matter how much crap they pour on the roads, its just a fact.

ITS not an ignorant statement, its the truth!

The worst part is that I had to travel to Amarillo yesterday and it was snowing and then i get back and its snowing here. I felt like i was up north or something.

The best part of it all is there is finally snow in Ruidoso,NM at Ski Apache. Time to wax my skis.
