Sorry, but Amarillo didn't impress me. Not in 67 when I did basic training there, not in 70 when I nearly got snowed in there, not in 00 when I lost a U joint there, not in 01 when I went through a flood there. you have worse weather there than we do here.

But Amarillo LOVES YOU!!!
one nice thing about the TX panhandle, if you don't like the weather, just wait, it'll change! it was 68 Sunday, by 7 pm Monday it was 38.
supposed to be in the upper 40's tomorrow, and near 70 again by the weekend

nice thing about Amarillo, we get snow, but it don't stick around long.
some of you folks have snow on the ground for months at a time.

Yes, I know. I remember one time we had 6" of snow at 6 am, and the high that day was 66 degrees. It was all gone by noon. Of course we had to march in it all morning.

Ha ha, oops, i mean, uh, gee that's too bad.
I'm looking forward to some snow here, deer season is on and it's just not any fun hunting in short sleeves!!
We've already had a couple decent snows in the U.P., hopefully there's about six inches when i get up to camp!
Meanwhile enjoy what little you get while you can. Lemme know if you need anymore in January

I took this picture just outside of Amarillo this last AUGUST. It got colder than heck suddenly then there was white stuff on the ground for about a mile. Wierd.

Doesn't surprise me any. Encountered snow there unexpectedly several times while passing through. Then, of course, the usual number of cars and trucks slid off the road.

In the 20 years that I raced, I was in Amarillo alot. I can't remember having 2 nice days in a row during the spring. One day was 80, the next 40. That said, I was always able to run good there. The same weather that caused you to be uncomfortable could let you run like hell.

We live about 20 miles east of Lubbock and here is a pic we took yesterday am.

8 inches ? neat. If we had that here the whole place would stop for like a week... wouldn't be able to get to work.. could just manage to get to the garage though.. hmm.. send it over!!

You would'nt hardly recognize the place today. bout the only thing left out there is the two cement mushroom-lookin water towers on the north east corner of the old Air base. almost all the old buildings have been demolished.

Come thru here after one of our famous hail storms, did ya?
last June we had hail the size of softballs here. busted out approx. 700 windows at one of the local hospitals. had one of our Ambulances out in it, literally beat the grill out and beat the light bar off the roof . not a good place to be in a Rod!
