Hi, my name is Becky, and i cannot drive in the snow. :? :oops: :wink:

I was born in Chicago and lived there for a few years, but i grew up in the Rio Grande Valley, four hours south of San Antonio.

Winters for us are........hmmm.......well i will put it this way..... many a Christmas were spent in shorts.

It did snow in the valley once..... December 24, 2004. The last time it had snowed there was in 1895, 109 years before.

I remember it was super, super cold, so unnatural for us valleyites..... we were at my sister's house having tamales (of course) and watching movies.....they said it might snow, so we waited.... at about 2 a.m. or so, it started to snow. I remember the whole neighborhood was awake.

They were people playing outside in the snow.......moms, dads, kids, whole families, for most this was a once in a lifetime thing. We were out there too, my mom a Chicago native, did not go outside :D You could hear laughter all around.......remember, it was the middle of the night.... To be very honest, it is one of the most beautiful things i have ever witnessed. Not the snow, the laughter, the joy.... it was like our own little valley Christmas miracle.... damn, im crying so bad, i miss my home.

Nice story Becky. Thanks for sharing. I saw it snow in Phoenix when I lived there and people were freaking out.
