Snow doesn’t usually stick in central Texas. When it falls, which is rare enough, the ground is usually too warm for it to last more than a few seconds.
Several years ago I worked in a tall office building in downtown Austin. One wintry afternoon, from our perches high above the streets we could see snowflakes drifting toward the ground. The flakes evaporated on their way down, though. The ground and the air around it was just too warm for the snow to land and pile up.
