We have had some crazy snow here in Texas. I know the nation has been bombarded with the snow storms and some areas have reported snow falls of 20 and even 30 inches in just a few hours but I've never really seen anything like that. Well, on Feb. 12th we awoke to huge snowflakes falling and the ground already blanketed white. By midafternoon, it was still snowing and accumulating to 3 - 5 inches. By nightfall, we had a whopping 10 inches of snow! Here, in Texas, where we usually have pretty mild winters! We built snowmen, sledded (using a surf board without the fin - hey it's Tx, who's going to have a sled on hand?), had snow ball fights and made snow ice cream. But being typical Tx weather, 4 days later there wasn't even a hint of snow as proof of the weather we'd had! Still cold but sun shiny and a little wet.

Since then, we've had a couple more days of flurries but not much stuck to the ground. We have have 3 big snow episodes this winter with real snow on the ground for a few days - a first for this area!

Hope where ever you are that you are staying warm and cozy and making the most of this crazy winter:o)

  1. Wow, I'm in San Antonio, we missed the snow here as usual, just a little sleet for about 30 min. Great idea using the surfboard!
