Hah, check these cheesy snow pictures out from Texas.

Don't laugh too much.

SCOTI · 01-14-2003, 11:12 AM

I'm just glad we didn't get a sleet storm that ices the streets overnight. That's what my house looked like as well except footprints all over from the next door kids coming over & playing w/my GF's daughter, & they even managed to build a dwarf snowman on one of my trucks.

J-Spec C10 · 01-14-2003, 02:48 PM

I wish it was like that here... then we could rake the snow instead of Plowing it with 5 ton trucks. do you guys use salt on the roads?

BigRed · 01-14-2003, 02:50 PM

Ha, rake it. Heck, just wait until the next morning and it melts off.

Even better!

79BIG10 · 01-14-2003, 03:20 PM

No we use sand down here. Cute pics Scott.

BigRed · 01-14-2003, 03:28 PM

Gracias, Brandon. Sorry, didn't see your question Kyle. No salt here as B said, that's why our trucks don't rust out so fast.

85Silverado · 01-14-2003, 03:42 PM

man...that ain't snow..lol....you can take care of that with your leaf blower..lol

J-Spec C10 · 01-14-2003, 04:32 PM

No salt!! sweet!

bill_ont_canada · 01-15-2003, 03:27 AM

Weren't those pictures taken after the snow had gone ??? lol

Izzy · 01-15-2003, 01:40 PM

Here's one of the wife and kid right as the snow started.

He was catching snow flakes in his mouth it was hilarious.

Here's a pic from last years snow:

BigRed · 01-15-2003, 01:58 PM

Cool pics 5/8. Don't tell me that's a Packer's jersey on your wife?

79BIG10 · 01-15-2003, 04:25 PM

bigd65 · 01-15-2003, 09:57 PM

go COWBOYS and by the way, even that little bit of snow looks cold to me BBBBBBRRRRRRRRRRR, welcome to SOUTH TEXAS, no snow

*racedvl* · 01-15-2003, 10:19 PM

Packers?!?!?! Man I thought it was bad having packers fans here in IL!

arveetek · 01-16-2003, 12:25 AM

Hey Scott!

Did ya'll cancel school because of the snow?

Here in SW Missouri, we don't get all that much snow. However, this year, we've already had two big snows dumping about a foot and a half each time. Luckily, both melted off in less than a week. They're calling for more snow tonight and tomorrow as well.

Around here, people go nuts in the snow. The last snow we had right before Christmas Eve, there were people in the ditch everywhere. Nobody knows how to drive on snow. And they call school off right away. I think it's funny sometimes, when I think of people up north who don't see the bare ground until May, and we cancel school because of 3" on the ground!

Thanks. I'm willing to trader her for your truck.

Showme-K-20 · 01-16-2003, 07:56 AM

Lately, the pics of snow in Springfield MO are very similar to the Canada version. And, I thought I lived down south! Oh well, It will recharge the ground water. It's been dry around here.

Nope, it snowed on Sunday, so they didn't have to close the schools. However, they're pretty quick to though on a school day. Missouri sounds much like Texas in that the drivers can't drive in the ice and snow. It's pretty pitiful. Wrecks everywhere.

arveetek · 01-16-2003, 09:49 AM

Well, we got a whopping 2 to 3" of snow during the night, and all the schools in the four-state area are closed this morning! Funny stuff.

Still more snow than we have here in salt lake city utah. I've been here 19 years and never seen it this dry. If it doesn't snow soon i'm gonna have to get the lawnmower out again.

PHOENIX · 01-17-2003, 12:32 PM

The pictures of your kid standing in the snow are priceless, keep those pictures!
