Yeah anyone who has never been to West Texas or the Panhandle in the winter during one of the random thankfully not very frequent snow storms don't even believe it ever snows in TX. Also another fortunate thing for us is it may be near zero one day with a North wind blowing across the barbed wire fence at a steady 35 to 45 MPH with a 3 to 6 inch snow fall one day then be nearly 80° then settle in mid 50's for a week or so.
One year quite a number of years back An Aunt and Uncle drove down for a visit from northern Colorado in Mid October At the time I was living Near Dalhart, the afternoon they arrived it was in the low 80s' the next morning there was 18" of snow on the ground with the wind howling and the mercury didn't seem to eve want to stop falling finally leveled off just above zero. My Aunt could do nothing but complain that she was freezing to death the whole time they were visiting saying that back home when it got to near zero they could still wear short sleeved shirts. I just told her to stick around in a few days it would be warm enough to go swimming again.
Some friends dropped by this Oct in their 95 Prevost motor coach from Ct. for a couple weeks while here he helped me install the trusses on the shop also he got to experience first hand the Texas weather mood swings an early light dusting of snow the mercury going from mid 70's one day to 10° the next morning then back into the 60's a couple days later. On their way back through from Las Vegas they dropped the motorhome off for me to do some work on it over the winter
