I can't even imagine snow. We got a tad that stuck around until the sun came out last year. People were waking their kids up at 3 AM to see it, it's such an event here, though I think I waited until 5 or 6 AM for my daughter. It's rare here. And if there is ice, Houston and all the suburbs (quite a large area) is just completely shut down until the ice melts.

The last time we had flurries, I was lying in bed nursing my daughter at night. She was probably around 1 yr. old, and now she's almost 11. I think the only decent snow she saw was snow on our way home on I-10 one year, driving back from LA to Houston. A snowstorm struck from Las Cruces, NM through most of western TX (that area of TX does see snowfall more than here). We were snowed in for 2 or 3 days before the roads were safe again. My daughter remembers it but only vaguely; she'd probably just turned 4.

I will take the cooler weather though. Fall tends to be nice here except for outdoor allergens. It's pecan season; our tree is dropping them all now. Didn't get as many this year, but last year we had none due to Harvey; some Octobers, it practically rains pecans. Then you get the Christmas present of raking all the pecan leaves that fall right around Christmas
