We rarely get any, but this year have had a little bit more than usual. Here are some pics from my back deck.

No, but it is the only thing on the news. Supposed to freeze overnight, and tomorrow morning will be an absolute nightmare!
There is WAY more than that here in Richardson now, and it's still snowing big flakes. We have a good honest 3-4 inches on cars and the grass, and that's with it being well above freezing all day. It would be a lot more if it was below freezing. Lots and lots of snowmen around. Roads were slushy but not frozen, but it's getting colder fast. If it really does freeze overnight there will be thick ice all over the roads.
Grapevine area ... we have at least 8 inches of snow on our cars.
It's snowing for the first time in 10 years here in Shreveport LA, they say we might get 4-6 inches tonite!
I just heard on the radio that we've almost set a single day record for snow.
I remember a light dusting of snow in Big Springs closed the airbase (Webb) and nearly every street sign was knocked over by out of control drivers
it is NORTH Texas, after all. Doesn't it make the place look peaceful and beautiful (at least until you have to go out and shovel that sh00t.)
it is actually sticking here in east texas. been a long time since i have seen it around here. already around 2 inches though i dunno if we will get any more.
Funny thing is you can't find I loaf of bread or a gallon of milk on a store shelf anywhere when this happens in Texas.
I'm not convinced that the sky is/was falling; however, a few transformers blew up (creating beautiful nighttime displays of red and green) and left about 30,000 people in our part of Richardson without power for a couple of hours.
Life became VERY primitive, since I had to rely on my Blackberry for internet access for all that time!
Don't worry about me, fellows, I'm okay now that the power has been restored.

Yeah, those were pictures I took this morning at around 7:30 or so. We ended up getting it all day. I think the 10 oclock news said we had around 9 inches.
Grocery store was a madhouse!

We had a bunch of those. And some neighbors trees caught fire laying on the High Voltage lines from the arcing. This was really wet snow, and heavy. Tree limbs are down in many yards.
yikes, just going to say be careful on the roads anywhere that's not used to snow. We get lots but still every storm people seem unable to drive.
My son is in Dallas, I forgot to call and ask him if Al Gore was down there speaking on "Global Warming". 
More to the point, I doubt they have much salt to spread on the ice that forms.

We have sand. On the news they made it clear that we have no snow plows.
When we lived in Redmond, Washington they used to press road graders into service.
Greeting All,
This is snowfall is a woot!
Officially DFW Airport received 11.2 inches yesterday (Thursday) which blew away the previous one-day record of 7.8 inches (set in 1964 & 1917). The most snow received in the 111 years of tracking.
As one poster noted, we don't have snowplows...but we do have 4-wheel drives, dualies, ATVs and a near limitless stupidity with which to use them.
