I Love New Snow

Texans + Snow = hours of good amusement.
We got a dusting of snow once, it was our second winter here. It didn't even stick to the roads but I have to say that it was one of the most disfunctional experiences that I think I've ever seen lol.
Apparently they got a couple of inches one year sometime back in the 90's. People still talk about it like it was yesterday.

funny watching these texans deal with this stuff.i saw a guy out at his front gate yesterday with a propane tank with a torch on it trying to melt the snow so the gate would swing open.the snow/ice was 4 inches tall.guess he never heard of a shovel

LOL
I know I know
long time ago I went through Amarillo at evening during an ice storm. Got gas, scrapped off the ice then a car drove up with a nice young lady driving whose windows were completely covered. So being the nice guy I was I scrapped off her windows also. (had nothing to do with the fact she was cute. LOL)
She asked what that thing was I had and where to buy one. Apparently they never had to scrape their windows. LOL

you dont need a snow shovel.i used a spade shovel to dig mine out.everyone has at least one shovel

LOL...Apparently, not that guy who used a blow torch to melt the snow from his gate. It sounds like the hinges were frozen, shovels won't help a hinge unless you use it to bang the ice off and out of it.

no he was trying to melt the 4 inches of snow/ice under the gates.my pipe coming out of the ground to my shop froze.its only exposed 1 foot.it took my propane turbo heater 20 minutes to melt a foot wide spot.he must have been there all day without a shovel.
