WHAT WINTER WAS LIKE THE YEAR YOU WERE BORN
« on: December 03, 2019, 12:34:20 pm »
I thought you all might be interested in this little slideshow from MSN depicting unusual winter weather events throughout the years.  Contrary to what the climate change hoaxers say, we have had extreme cold and snow years ago.  We even had a few unusually mild winters over the years.  An unusually cold winter or an exceptionally mild winter is not a new phenomenon.  It's not climate change or globull warming.   It's weather. people!

Very poorly constructed web page.  There is no way to find the "year of your birth" without taking an hour to watch the pages of other years load.  Not worth the click.

The worst Thanksgiving weather of all time around here was in 1950 (before my time).

MSN has a lot of similar stuff like this -- best tacos by state, nicest city in each state and so on.  I should have warned everyone to click through only if you have a lot of time on your hands.

Just thought people would like to have something like this for when your relatives and friends try to tell you we've never had weather like this.  Uhhhh.  Yeah we did.

@Texas Yellow Rose

Oops! I've been telling a lie all my life. I've said that I was 13 when I first saw snow. (Valentine's Day weekend 1960) In my defense, though, I was far too young to remember this one. I do remember when we had a white Christmas for the first time on record in 2004. A Christmas miracle here on the Texas Gulf Coast!

In 1960 I lived in Pasadena, TX and was absolutely in heaven with all the baby boomers building snowmen all over the neighborhood.  The only thing that could have topped it was snow on Christmas Day which I saw twice. (once in North Texas and then 2004)  I think I smiled all day!

Our neighborhood was like yours -- abuzz with activity. One kid used all the snow in his yard plus some of the neighbors' yards to build a 12-foot snowman! Everyone was excited, even the adults. But not my daddy who turned into a fuddy-duddy that day. In my young mind, I couldn't imagine that anyone wouldn't be thrilled to wake up to a blanket of snow covering the ground. His excuse: he grew up where they had to deal with snow every winter and didn't care if he ever saw a snowflake again.

@GrouchoTex

I don't think it snowed where I live 2 years ago. The last time I remember it covering the ground and lasting for any amount of time was in 2004. I even made a snowman that year. It was only about 10 inches tall, but it was a still a snowman. Kinda destroys the narrative that everything's bigger in Texas, huh?

Shhh! don't tell anybody....

I think it snowed again in 2008?
It was a Friday in early December, and I was working in Stafford then.
It was coming down pretty good when I went home for lunch, just four miles away in Sugar Land.
It stayed over night, melted early the next day.
I had pictures on my phone of it covering the backyard, but that was a phone I don't have anymore.

That happened in my neighborhood too.  The boys down the street built a snowman around the telephone pole.  I was just in awe of it!
