    A23D3CE3-8313-4391-A26A-8B0334AF2152.jpeg I’m an old South Texas boy, grew up with the prickly pear and mesquite. Didn’t see rain but a couple of times. This morning it was 29 deg. and started to drizzle just before sunrise then started to snow. At least it was blowing around like snow but didn’t look like snow flakes. It was like white short hairs. Here’s a pic. Any body ever seen this? What was it? It melted like snow......

    I bet you could get the ol lady off your back about replacing the carpet if you invested in a vacuum

    That’s not carpet. That’s the steel panel on my step deck with a layer of ice on it and the snow on top of that. But it does look like red carpet.

    They are seeding the clouds with silver iodine, they might have gotten over board.

    Santa flew over after a few days R&R, that's his beard...he shaves it off so he can go out in public during the off season without being recognized.

    Been following what they doing with the seeding but they are in a panic with the drought in the southwest and are trying new ways to screw with it. Problem is many of us live in the areas that get hit with it.
