In your part of Texas, between San Antonio and Austin, I don't suppose it snows very often.  Up north of Dallas and in the panhandle it's not such a rarity.  I do recall a recent winter when snowed in Houston, which seemed like quite a case of global weirding to me.

I've had limited experience of your part of the world in the summer.  As long as the wind was from the west, I was OK with the 108 degrees F.  When the wind was from the east was a different story.  It ain't high temperature that kills this northern boy, it's high dewpoint.
