"By the time you are reading this, Mother Nature has almost ushered out Winter as the official season of the hour. Of course, for most of the Continental United States that means a lot more temperature wise than it does in South Texas.

And this is a good year for that area as far as “snow days”.
I suppose there is a certain mystique about snow, especially to many living in this paper’s distribution area, who may have never really experienced a real snow storm. Snow is also popular with children, especially around Christmas time, but most people who have had to lash up boots, break out shovels and salt and commute in it will tell you let it snow on Christmas Eve and melt the day after Christmas.
They would rather have Easter (and there has been snow on the ground in Chicago at Easter too, I got the pictures to prove it, brand new tricycle and nowhere to ride it), it usually is at least above thirty-five degrees outside by that time..."
