Alpine and Ft Davis. Though I remember a snow storm on South Padre about 10 years ago. Didn't believe it at first, had to go touch it to be sure.

You are correct. Although us in the Amarillo area have not received much measurable snow so far this winter... Some might find that to be odd or distasteful, but I can do without the icy mess.

It's the same here north of Lubbock. I bought a 4x4 two years ago to get in and out of this old farm and have used it once.

Now if tumbleweeds were snow flakes. . .

I like this one:

All parts of Texas has seen snow before, with the most recorded in 24 hours being up in the Panhandle (Vega?), with 23" falling! Of course, as you get closer to the Gulf, it becomes far less frequent, with most areas south of a San Antonio to Beaumont line seeing a snowfall once maybe every 5-15 years (less frequency the further south you go).

Heck, most parts of Florida have seen snow too, including Miami Beach. Although exceedingly rare, it has happened.

When I was in college in Houston in the early 80s, it actually snowed. My roommate who was a native Houstonian had never touched snow before. Someone actually managed to scrape together enough snow to make a little snowman about a foot tall.
