The word “winter” is used loosely in most of Texas. It comes in like a lion, goes out like a lamb, and does so in a matter of days!

But if does come in the form of a storm, you can be sure that you won’t enjoy it as much as that Bing Crosby Christmas special lets on that you will! Here are 5 tweets that help us “get” Texas winters:
