Russ, the next question is...
does it EVER snow where you live?
it snows here in Houston every few years
and we might even get 6" on the ground about every 20 years
the biggest thing that affects us are hurricanes on our coast
the years we get a hurricane it cools the water in the GOMexico enough to let the snow get closer to the coast
