Snowy Day on the Texas Coast

@MarthaMazz It happens in north Texas fairly often, but it is rare down here in southeast Texas.

@exexec I guess I forget how big Texas is and how different things can be in different parts of it

@MarthaMazz Yes, there are several different worlds in this state. It surprised me when I moved here years ago.

@exexec Where did you move from and to?

@MarthaMazz Moved from near Atlanta in Georgia and moved to the Galveston area in Texas

@exexec Oh ok, I would have thought of that as not too far because those states are next door right? But again I'm forgetting how big they are and how much difference there can be.

@MarthaMazz It's an 800 mile drive from here back to Atlanta.

@exexec Wow yes that is not close at all.

@MarthaMazz What shocked me was when I made the drive from Atlanta and got to the Texas/Louisiana state line. It was still another 800 miles to El Paso, TX. I was only halfway there.

@exexec TX is huge and gets every weather pattern on earth except tropical and arctic . I drove from Houston to Corpus years ago . Also driven from Dallas to Houston (separate trip )

@AthrillatheHunt My entire concept of distance changed when we moved to Texas. We drove to Dallas, 275 miles, several times for our daughter's volleyball games. To Corpus, 200 miles, for basketball. To San Antonio, 200 miles, for our son's music concerts. Now we drive 200 miles regularly for a weekend with our son's family near Austin. Nothing is close.

@exexec I hear you. I’m from NY. Try explaining to someone in TX that it takes 2 hours to travel 20 miles by car. 2 hrs in TX is like 150 miles. It’s all relative . How you dealing w the gulf humidity compared to ATL?

@AthrillatheHunt It took some getting used to. We would die without AC.

@exexec you still able to exercise outdoors like 8/9 months a year ?

@AthrillatheHunt Yes. We tee off for golf at 6:45 a.m. and are soaking wet by the third hole. Mowing the lawn drains me, but I manage.

@AthrillatheHunt Yep. That's about right.

@exexec You have one of those “I wasn’t born a Texan but I got here as soon as I could “ bumper stickers ? My buddy did lol

@AthrillatheHunt No. I've lived here over 30 years, but I still don't consider myself a Texan.

@exexec so you’re not overweight then ? (Sorry man I LOVE Tx but couldn’t resist haha)

@AthrillatheHunt Nope. I weigh the same thing I weighed when I graduated from college.

@exexec You played D1? I was D3 basketball for 3 years

@AthrillatheHunt Yes, D1 baseball. Bad knee kept me out of football.

@exexec right on brolic
