SocraticGadfly: North Texas snow wussies turn out

North Texas snow wussies turn out

Barely an inch or so of granular snow early Saturday morning? And the results?

  • Old Courthouse museum in Denton never opens.
  • Half the Saturday staff at my normal bank branch don't show up.
  • Area libraries in Texoma don't open.

Why?

I think it's three parts.

One is that climate change means younger North Texans have seen less snow, if any, than their parents. And their parents have forgotten it.

Two is the number of Californicators who have moved to North Texas, expecting no snow because they got none in the Southland.

Three is the SUV owners who treat them like precious cars.

Carry on.
