OK for fog; not OK for blizzard.

I'm pretty sure there hasn't been a blizzard in south Texas in quite
some time...

Depends on what you mean by "blizzard." A few years ago, it snowed THREE
times in Houston, about 1/4" each time. They closed the schools. They closed
the roads. They closed the airports. Those families that didn't huddle in
the family room, filled the church pews. Grocery stores ran out of canned
goods.

Little children, wearing all the clothes they owned, scraped the snow from
car hoods, constructed six-inch tall snowmen and called them good.

We still refer to the "Blizzards of ought-six!"
