Default Snowed here in Midland, TX last night

well it finally snowed here. i think it was the first time its actually snowed here since i was in 3rd grade. i walked out side and my first thought that came to my head was "volcanic ash" haha. here are some pics of the snow, and a rice burner i pulled up behind at the doughnut shop.

it had a fart cannon and it was decked out in stickers. the back window sticker said "Texas Boyz" which gave me a good laugh haha. i revved my engine and the guy jumped in his seat then he grabbed his doughnuts and pulled up to a redlight where an old saleen stang pulled up next too him

Hey, I just moved to Midland from Cincinnati. I work in Odessa, what a trip I had this morning. They don't know how to treat the roads down here at all. The peebles they throw down on the road to fight the ice and snow are as much of a problem when the snow is gone as the snow was in the first place.

Anyway, if you see a Redfire GT/CS (with an Ohio license plate) driving around, give me a honk. I'm the only one in town that I've seen.

Yeah, it snowed here too! And I'm near the beach! Here's a bit from the LA Times:
A surprise storm coats areas in the Valley, drops hail on Westside lawns and closes I-5.[/align] By Sharon Bernstein and Martha Groves, Times Staff Writers
January 18, 2007 [/align]
It wasn't exactly a snow day.

But Southern California's six-day cold snap took a surreal turn Wednesday as a rare snowstorm brought snowplows to the canyons above Malibu, left parts of the San Fernando Valley with a white dusting and shut down Interstate 5.

[/align] The snow levels plunged well below 1,000 feet in some areas, blanketing the Santa Monica Mountains with snow and leaving streets and lawns in Venice, Westwood and elsewhere on the Westside covered with ice from pea-sized hail.

A stronger than expected low pressure storm system high in the atmosphere turned a merely cold day into one of snow, rain and hail, said Jamie Meier, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service.

The system under normal circumstances would have brought a typical rainstorm through Los Angeles. But the cold snap turned the rain into snow and hail, she said.
