Snow... in Texas?!?!

That's right folks!  Snow in Texas!!  I woke up to the snowiest, whitest scenery I have seen since I was a small child living in Utah.









We're supposed to get 4-6 inches, but maybe as much as 10!!  I know that sounds like nothing to my northern family, but come on, 10 inches of snow in Texas?!?!  Unreal!!  

We've had snow before.  Snow that fell for a few hours and left a couple of inches behind.  But nothing like this!!

I woke up at 7:30 am to see a full blown snow falling on an already white world.  Real snowflakes too.  It hasn't let up almost twelve hours later.  The weather service is expecting the snow to continue until 2 am tonight and with temperatures plummeting into the 20's, all the slush and water on the roads will freeze overnight.  There's a good chance the bank will open late tomorrow.  I doubt they'd keep it closed all day, but I'm not about to risk my life for a job.  I'm sure that they will understand and let me come in when the roads start to clear.

It has been a beautiful view each time I've gone outside or looked out my window.  I think I'm the only person in the apartment complex crazy (or desperate) enough to do laundry today.   At least I had my pick of washers and dryers!!

You know, the only snow I've seen in a while is what Bones and I saw in Vernal this weekend and what I drove home in over the mountains. Once we got back to P-town, we were snow-less again.

Hope you enjoyed it!
