Funny thing is this is $300,100.00 and just below it is a Autographed Ted Williams Baseball for only $225.00



HAHHAHAHAHA

I'd be wary. Looks like a snow job to me.

HAHHAHAHAHA

Anybody willing to bid on a **** (starts with a T and rhymes with nerd)? I'll go make one that is "special".


What a crock of crap. People will buy anything.

I used to live in South Padre. Man, the scams people pull in the Rio Grande Valley...

Not that this is a scam, because it actually did snow there. But still, a hell of a lot of scams are pulled in that region.

Well, the BS bids got sorted out, it went for $92US.

It really did represent an unusual event. I live not far from where it was gathered. 2 or 3 times in my life I've seen a few flakes of snow fall, but never any accumulate on the ground. The last recorded event like this was in the 19th Century.

This is a picture from my backyard on Xmas day:



Its not often you'll see snow-covered citrus  fruit trees

Interesting historic note: when Santa Ana marched to suppress the Texas revolution in 1836, an unusual weather event like this occurred that killed a couple of thousand of his conscript troops (they weren't equipped with stuff like coats blankets and shoes like his regulars). That mass of bodies might have changed the course of history at San Jacinto had they lived.

   I have some friends who live here on Lake Tawakoni that bought a place  in the valley this year for a winter home. He just retired a couple of months ago. I talked to him the day before the forecast was calling for possible snow here in the Tawakoni area and he was POed that he had waited a couple of extra days to leave for the Valley. He said if they didn`t get snowed or iced in here they would head to the valley in 2 days and they did. I got a big chuckle out of it when the day after their arrival in the Valley I got up here at around 4:00 AM and turned on the tube to see that the entire gulf coast was in a snow storm . lol

lol. Hell hath froze over!

Kind of funny that you'd have the "White Christmas" this year and we, being oh so much closer to the Arctic circle than thee, had bare ground.

  I think you said that as a joke, but a lot of what we are seeing weather wise is a direct result of global warming.

Is that the orchard by Main Street? I have an Aunt and Uncle (as well as a few cousins) in McAllen. I've been there about 12 times.

Nope, that's my back yard - we have 40 fruit trees of assorted flavors.
