This was just one of those winters because we usually don't get this much in any other winter. It's been quite a scene this season. Makes me wonder what kind of spring we'll be having, but I guess we'll soon find out.

I never realized just how much I hate cold and rainy weather until this year. Usually we'll get little spurts of cold weather, followed by mid 60-70 degree days filled with sunshine. Not so much this year

But to call Texas the "new snowbelt of America" must make people in the Buffalo, NY area laugh. They get several feet of snow every year. The northern and mountainous ares of the USA get much more than we do!
I think the article was written with tongue planted firmly in cheek. Buffalo gets an insane amount of snow every year from the lake effect.

I hoped it was. Yes, that lake-effect snow is ferocious. I don't see how anyone can stand it.

I lived in that area for 12 years, and you are correct. However, there have been a few days in Abilene lately that made me think of living there. The difference, of course, is the number of days of snow. Here, it is often a day or two followed by a very warm day. My new next door neighbor from the Pacific northwest told me that this is the first place he has ever lived that had all four seasons in one day.

And the worst three words in the English language are "Lake effect snow!" I will never live in that snow belt area again if I can help it. You don't have to shovel Texas sunshine.

Same here. I usually love the little cold spells and then it gets back up into the high 50s or 60s for several days, but this Winter has been completely different. I think since mid December we've had maybe 8 days where it was average or above. Most days it has been 10 or 15 degrees below average.
