It's SNOWING!

By

Snow on the ranch outside Jarrell, TexasAnd snowing and snowing and snowing! 

I know for some of you this is no big deal, but it just doesn't happen here, and when it does, it lasts for, oh, maybe 15 minutes.  Today, it's been snowing for several hours, first tiny flakes and then giant ones. 

 

Those of you who have read my blog and seen the photos from the Great Flood of 2009 will perhaps recognize this as the same view.  (Note the storm shelter in the distance.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dogs playing in the snow

 

 

The dogs, however, are not as disapproving of the rising snow as they were of the rising waters.  In fact, they think it's delightful, even though they've never seen it before.

 

It's still falling, and perhaps I'll update later with photos.  We're right on the line between the predicted 1 to 3 inches and 3 to 6 inches; can't wait to see what it turns out to be!

Tricia,

How wonderful for you-I grew up in NY and miss the snow (just a little) and am slightly envious right now. Enjoy!

Tricia, when the snow hits 3 inches you can go out and make snow-angels.

If we get the 2" predicited here in Dallas today, we'll set the all time record for most snow in a year.  The record goes back to 1977 - 1978, a couple years before I moved here.  So far, just a few lazy flakes this morning, so it doesn't look like the previous record will be broken.

Lisa, our daughter, currently living in Canada, called this morning and when we told her, she said she envied us, which surprised me because they have plenty of snow up there, until she said it was because when it snows at all down here, it's really exciting!

Pierre, it is, indeed, peaceful, especially since everything pretty much shuts down in honor of it.  (Plus, out here on the ranch, it's peaceful indeed!

Malcolm, we're almost there!

Lorrie, y'all have really gotten more than your share this year!  My sister and nieces live up there in the Dallas area (Mesquite), and they were giving us reports when the 12+ inches fell.

Don, that's exactly what we did! 

Aaron, you're right, we don't know what to do with ourselves when it snows!

Andy, the dogs thought it was great.  MUCH better than the flood!

Tricia - Thanks for sharing the photos.  We have only gotten snow once here in Florida.  My kids would just go crazy if it snowed here.  Be careful driving in it!
