Don't live too far north of you and had the same kinda weather.
I don't think we had as much snow as you did farther south.
Now thats strange!
All I could see were the thumnails of your photos after clicking the address. You might try opening the original in Shutterfly and insertng that address in your post.

(edit) I almost forgot, I have a nephew living in Mission who just moved from Corpus working for Halliburton (no comments please) who is decent crew if you ever need one.

I live halfway between the 2 of you - and we had no snow! Very unusual to have snow in deep south Texas and none in central Texas...

I used to think that Texas was too far south for snow, until a cross-country road trip I made in November of 1980. I was driving west on I-40 through the Texas panhandle a few days before Thanksgiving, through a massive storm with blizzard conditions that made Amarillo look like Minot, ND. Looking back at that now, I realize how dumb it was for me to have kept driving - should have stopped and holed up in a motel until the storm was over. If the car ( a Toyota Tercel, for heaven's sake!) had broken down or spun out into a snow bank, I might not have been here today to post this message. The Good Lord looks after fools and the young and clueless, I guess.

Larry - It's so far in Texas from North to South that you can have sub-tropical conditions on the coast, and sub-arctic conditions in the panhandle! (At the same time! )

Derek,

That can even happen in one place on the same DAY. I was in San Antonio in late January once when the 8 AM temp was 64. A cold front rolled in around 1130, and by 5 pm the temp was 30 degrees (and still falling) with a north wind at 20+. The best part: I was out in the hill country on day 1 of a 3 day survival training course with the Air Force.
