m-fay - my sister teaches school in S Texas and last year they had some snow flurries one afternoon when the temperature dropped suddenly. She said she lost the class for the rest of the day. Most of the students had never seen snow before and they were so excited. We grew up in W Texas and it snows every other year or so but it is a real rarity in S Texas.
I can't imagine living where there is snow for 4 or 5 mos every year. I think I will take our hot and humid summers in SE TN over continuous snow and cold!
