Saw snow for the first time

I know it may not be a big deal to most. But I saw snow falling for the first time in my life. I am on travel in Fort Worth and it began to snow after I left the work site. I was amazed. Now it was not cold enough so it melted as soon as it hit the ground. But it does count in my book as seeing snow.

Well that is about the best snow there is, IMHO. Good that you got to see it.

Want to trade places? You can see snow and feel the cold allot up here and feel that wonderful experience over and over

Welcome to Ft. Worth. I hope all the people who don't know how to drive in cold weather don't scare you.

Wait until you have to shovel - then you will never appreciate it again.

Either that or you will buy a plow blade for your ATV and have a blast every time it snows.

Well, that would include me. But I think I did OK. I made it out of there alive and did not take anyone out. Driving around in the snow felt very weird. It looked like it was raining but there was no sound. I am very used to the rain living in Florida. Another thing that I noticed was ice on the ground. I just about busted my ass walking on concrete. I did not notice a thin layer of ice had formed.

are you saying it snows during the summer up there, but you don't really call it snow cause it doesn't stick?
