Does it snow in Texas?

My brother and his family were here for a great visit over turkey day. My Niece recently got her permit and I took her out driving. We live in a semi rural area and there can be animals out at dusk. We passed 3 deer on a dirt road but was slightly surprised when another animal ran out on a busier paved road.



Niece: What's that? An armadillo?

Son: Yeah, they have migrated to the snow belt, we see them all the time.

Me (laughing): we call them possums here.

Niece slightly indignant: Well, I don't know, I mean that's what I meant.
