Oh, Oh @CntryBoy777, tsk tsk and all that. It DOES get cold in Texas... stop laughing that is impolite 
. It has snowed in Texas, why I remember not too many winters ago where we got 2' of snow. We get more than enough days of mid 20's with nights in the teens.
Now before all you more northern folks chime in about how 2' of snow 'taint nothing, why you walked to school through umpteen feet of snow uphill both ways, there are some of us who don't appreciate snow, don't want to see snow except on the mountain tops far away, don't want to drive in it, just don't want to deal with it and the salt and the sludge and the cinders and don't want to deal with the stains on the hem of your trousers due to the mess snow makes. That's why we live here and not there. Thrilled for you folks who love snow and winter sports but the goats and I say "meh" to the white stuff.
I'm with you @Baymule, go get yourself a good wood burner. We enjoy ours.

Snow isn't a big deal here... But we have the infrastructure to handle it. Lots of money in plow trucks, roads are built for it, etc. We have snow tires, 4wd... 2 feet in Texas is a big deal!
2 feet here is a dusting. Lol

I know it does....even witnessed Snow in Laredo....waiting on a load to haul out.....and over in El Paso too....most all can 'Brave' thru a day or two....or even a couple of hours....but, just because others find it 'Humorous' shouldn't upset ya so much..........cause we all need a good 'Laugh' every once in a while....they just seem to be Bigger in Texas....I guess ....heck....people around here 'Freak Out' and 'Bare the Shelves' at the stores when there are just Flurries with no accumulation....people 'Bundle Up' in Florida if it dips below 40 thinking it is a 'Polar Express'....they speak of Freezing temps in 'Hours of Duration'....it truly is entertaining to see others Out of their 'Environments'....even if it is a few times or hours per year....

I'll have you know that it got down to TWENTY TWO DEGREES Thursday night and there was ICE on the water buckets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2 feet is a big deal in Texas? Ha! Try 2 inches!!! 2 inches will shut the highways down, schools close, businesses close and the idiots drive fast and have wrecks!
@animalmom a wood burning heater is on my wish list, got other things in front of it though....
@CntryBoy777 snow, hurricanes, it's all the same. People go into a panic and wipe out the grocery store shelves. Not me, I am stocked up and don't have to fight crowds for that last loaf of bread....we sure won't starve in 3 days!
