So, to answer your question, YES!

And yeah, I realize I'm in the wrong state...
When did you move to Texas?

It really depends on where you live in the State. In the panhandle, they get a lot of snow and blizzards are common. Amarillo gets 17 inches of snow a year and gets in the single digits often, they also have snowplows. The winters are much worse than North Texas'.

2011. JUST before the ice storm (literally arrived in town less than a week before it hit).

Yabbut, I'm in DFW. If I have time to travel to the panhandle I have time to fly to Chicago or San Francisco. So I only care about weather in DFW if we're talking Texas. So fine, I should've said "wrong city" SO SHOOT ME, OK!!! (wait, this is Texas, you probably could, and argue "he just needed killin'" and add on to that "he dissed Texas". They'd give you medal. )

Disgusting that it's almost 11 p.m. and it's still 93 degrees!

To be fair, it's only about once a decade that Chicago gets 17 inches of snow...

Looking to relocate to Plano or McKinney from southern California and keeping an eye on the weather. Seeing people complain about 103 degree weather or 6 weeks of "hot" weather is kinda funny after living in Palm Springs for 25 years. After you live thru 3 MONTHS of triple digits where you get a good week of 116-119 and then it "cools down" to 110-112, 103 is a chilly day 100 degrees by 9am, gotta love the desert!

When we got the ice storm here in 2011, Chi got 20 inches of snow. My poor wife was stuck trying to dig out our driveway on her own. Her car got stuck on the driveway and kidlet had to spend a few hours extra at school.

'67 was legendary. I hope you weren't one of the people who had to abandon their car on the Kennedy and hike off until the snow melted.

No we weren't. During my time in Naperville, I was in the first and second grades '66 to '68. My dad worked at Argonne Nat'l Lab so he had a drive every day. The first couple of weeks of that snow were fun but then the snow stayed around for months and got so dirty and ugly, and seemed to take forever to completely melt. My school, since I lived within a mile of the school, had a strict policy that I had to walk home for lunch. My mother went a few rounds with the principal to get special dispensation, during the first week.
