It's Snowing!!!!!!

Snow is a very rare thing here. The last time it snowed was Christmas Eve (yeah, perfect timing!) of 2003. It was very light and only lasted about an hour. We were out to eat when Dad and Nan were here. The cars were dusted and it was mostly gone by the time we got home. It was very exciting.

Well it has been snowing here since this afternoon, lightly but constant and we are expecting it to continue into the night! Now I am wondering about school tomorrow. This would be no big deal in most of the states but here it could be disastrous since the ground is wet and much of the area is expected to stay below freezing all night. Houston in general does not have resources to take care of snowy or icy roads.



Logan thinks this is the greatest thing ever!



When the bus pulled up the kids had all the windows down and stuck their arms and heads out when the bus stopped to let Logan off. They were very loud and having a great time!



Logan is collecting it off of my car and making ice balls to throw at Charles.



This is my car later in the evening. Crazy! Hard to believe it will be 75 this weekend!


THE NEXT MORNING - The snow on the ground was all gone, but on everything else it had all turned to ice. School is on time in our area but not in the areas I work in. We got 1" of snow and parts of Houston got 2.5"!! Traffic in Houston is a nightmare. Luckily I head the other way. But I have a light day and will probably start late just to avoid any sitting in traffic. They said we may do this all again next week!

I have been seeing pictures like these all over the place. Amazing. I would have loved to see snow like that when we lived in AZ.

Howdy Neighbor! I want to thank you for the tips you left me for preparing freezers when anticipating a hurricane. Very good advice.

A blessed Christmas season to you & yours!
