1BB: Thanks. My permanent address was in Long Island, NY for 75 years. However my father was in international business and owned homes in NY, Germany Philippines. I lived in Germany, the Philippines, Hong Kong (Saigon-Ugh- US Army, 5th SFG) in addition to NY and traveled through every state in the USA in over 45 years of working. In the above photo; Long Island, with over 13 million people, wouldn't even send out the plows for that. They would perhaps "Salt" a few back roads with that small amount. It would be gone on the L.I.E in 3 minutes during rush hour.
I'm going to place the blame on my son (LOL) for not knowing how cold it gets down here. He was recruited right after graduating from Colgate and has lived in Colleyville for 30 years. He took great delight in sending us photos of everyone wearing shorts on Christmas and his birthday which is in February, and whenever I would talk to him on the phone on a Saturday in the winter, he would always end the conversation with letting me know he had to cut the lawn. I mainly visited Texas in the spring, summer, and fall. (I PLAY GOLF) The few times that I came down for Christmas, it was indeed warm!
