Four inches in El Paso on Monday, And today kids were building snowmen in Houston, for pity’s sake. We got about twenty minutes of flurries out of what was being touted yesterday as Blizzard 2009!!!

The front blew through here before it could pick up any moisture. The coastal bend got hammered.

hehe When you don’t normally get snow, it’s tough for a city to handle it.

I lived in Michigan City, IN in the late 70s during what was really a blizzard. 1978 I believe. Ohare was closed for the first time in its history I recall. The snow had drifted up over our house and we had to dig out from inside. Pretty groovy when you 16. My poor mother was miserable.
