New Re: Really?
Dude - get real. First off, your pictures look identical, and secondly, your yard and table are almost perfectly clean. Where's the 4 inches?

This is what 4 inches of snow looks like: http://www.flickr.co...dtmmm/3247373168/




"Chicago to my mind was the only place to be. ... I above all liked the city because it was filled with people all a-bustle, and the clatter of hooves and carriages, and with delivery wagons and drays and peddlers and the boom and clank of freight trains. And when those black clouds came sailing in from the west, pouring thunderstorms upon us so that you couldn't hear the cries or curses of humankind, I liked that best of all. Chicago could stand up to the worst God had to offer. I understood why it was built--a place for trade, of course, with railroads and ships and so on, but mostly to give all of us a magnitude of defiance that is not provided by one house on the plains. And the plains is where those storms come from."

New Same link.
Click on the picture to get the next one.

There still isn't 2 inches of snow there though. ;-)

Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson.
New Need a Facebook account for that to be true? No worky for me
New Spice needs to fix the link then, sorry.
It was a good amount of snow accumulation for 40 minutes. Just not 2 inches.

New Re: Spice needs to fix the link then, sorry.
Those photos were taken at 9:00 and 9:40. The heaviest accumulation was in the early afternoon, but I didn't measure until 4 pm, at which time it had melted quite a bit as the ground was warm.

I guess I should have taken more photos as my words are apparently worthless...
New I believe you.
Just commenting that the photos weren't showing it.

And if you haven't figured out that Lincoln has a burr up his rear for All Things Texan yet, where have you been? :-P

Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson.
New I know
it's one thing for him to hate all things Texan, but it's entirely something else to have him question what I've seen. He can fix his WiFi himself next time.
New At least the Houston Chronicle has a sense of humor

Take that, Chicago

For what it's worth, Houston's seasonal total of snowfall this winter now exceeds that of Chicago, which has had just a trace so far. There's a pretty good chance Houston will not lead that race for long, as the city averages one snowfall about every four years.

New I leave it up to the experts
meaning those people who live in Michigan, Illinois, Colorado, and other states that get snow every year. I'll let them go through the links to various slide shows to look for themselves, since my passing a recent milestone birthday must mean that I need glasses with lenses as thick as Coke bottles to see the accumulation claimed by all of the meteorologists on the local television, radio and newspapers.

New you can be a real ass at times...
The link to the 2nd photo has been fixed. I did post a link to the photo album in # 21281. Just checked it in FireFox, where I'm not logged into facebook, so you should have been able to see those photos just fine via that post.

In regards to 4 inches, I never said how much was there during the heaviest accumulation as I didn't measure it, I just knew it was more than the 2 inches I measured at 4 pm. I'd have taken a picture then if I'd known you were going to be such a dick about it.

http://www.chron.com...p/tx/6753784.html
Accumulations of 3 to 4 inches of snow were reported in counties southwest of Houston.
I live in Fort Bend county, which is southwest of Houston.

How can you die from a fall of a whopping 3 inches?
