same here, and in west texas (lubbock to be exact) we are not used to this...driving in snow and ice doesnt bother me much at all....but as for others....damn! 70 wrecks in one day, and thats just reported wrecks where Police had to come out.....its ridiculous. got a chance to take the camaro out to an open parking lot earlier and warm up the rears. Gotta love the ice!

How much snow do you guys get in Texas on average? We've got 16-18" on the ground for almost month so far.

It's cold and rainy here in Florida...we haven't seen snow since 1989. I wouldn't mind seeing just a little though.

Nowhere near that. We've got about 6-7" over the past 3 days...which is about as much as we will ever see the whole year....it has been progessively colder each winter though, with more snow each year it seems...hopefully some of these old farts, and over-cautious drivers will get used to it

I think my truck looks worse than yours........but I'm so glad I have a 4x4. Thursday was my first taste of using it in the snow, and wow what a difference! I've driven a Camaro and a Firebird for the last ten years, so buying the truck for Winter was the best thing I've ever done! I don't dread driving in the snow nearly as much now.

I'm only about 14 miles across open bay to the Gulf and it's snowing here. I'm in southeast Texas and only 2 1/2 blocks from the water. I got pics and it just keeps coming down. I'll have to get more pics in the morning because they're saying it's not going to let up all night. Already got 3 in on top of my landscaping lights outside.

I am about 250 miles south of San Antonio in Deep south TX and I have never seen snow down here. Probably once in a life time.
