Everything is bigger in Texas, particularly claims about how big Texas is.
Also texas has 683,533 lane miles of road vs ohio's 262,492 and a GDP of $2,563,508m vs ohio's $872,748m. Seems like they aren't putting that land mass to good use.
Annual Rainfall per square inch seems like a relevant factor though.
Texas averages 36 inches of rain and 2 inches of snow each year. Ohio gets 40 inches of rain and 28 inches of snow.
> Texas averages ... 2 inches of snow each year.
Really? That does not comport with my experience growing up there.
Where is "there"? Texas is a fairly large state, spanning ~11 degrees of latitude.
The climate in Houston differs from that in Arlington, for example.
"Averages" is doing heavy lifting in GP's statement. It's a vast state, after all, and how meaningful is an average between the climates of Houston and El Paso?
Climate trends change over the years. How long ago did you grow up there?
The population of Texas is around 25.1 million people compared to 11.5 million in Ohio, a difference of 13.6 million people. That means about 2 times population wise.
I don't know by which size metric it is that ohio is 41 times smaller than texas?
