    20 degrees isn't too bad. Are you in San Antonio or Lubbock right now? I lived near Fort Worth and it would drop to the 20s a couple days a year (around the same time we got our half inch of snow that would melt by the end of the day. ).

    Lubbock. ITS GETTING COLDER.

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    Hmm. Just checked some weather sites; it's 14 degrees Fahrenheit here right now.

    I hereby declare this land "Safe from Texan Invasion".

    Snow sucks and I hate it.
    I didn't really have to live with lots of snow in my youth, so it was always a treat. Living now in the cold part of the state is starting to change my mind.

    Colder? After nearly ten years near Fort Worth I'm not sure I remember the temperature ever getting into the teens.

    I live in Oregon now and it doesn't get that cold. Granted, I'm rather close to the coast...

    It's snowing here right now, got about 1.5 inches so far. After 2 weeks of freezing temps perfect for snow, it decides to snow now when temps are going to go up and we will end up with sleet and ice by tonight. Car skating is so much fun.

    I like cold weather, but only when i get snow and rain with it! (yes i like rain) i have rain but theres no snow it was like -5oC in my area recently, pretty cold for the UK (or anywhere) but i guess it is winter so it can be expected, and global warming has caused more extreme temperatures, meaning it will probably be scorching in summer, then the rant will be the complete opposite to this one.
