Snow

I tried to get some shots of the snow we had today.

Can you see the flakes?

I guess it's harder to see than I thought. They were actually rather large, but wet.

Here you can see the total accumulation at our house.

After picking Alayna up from school we did see some houses with real accumulation on their roofs. Perhaps enough to make a snowball or two.

Since snow is a rarity in this part of Texas, Paul reported some of the reactions from his co-workers. There was the usual race to the windows to stare in wonder at the falling flakes. There was lots of panic and attempts to leave work early based on fears of icy death roads or being stranded at work. Salt was actually spread on the sidewalks to melt the snow. The temperature never got below 36 degrees.

I guess here in Texas, when it comes to snow, you have to get excited about any little flakes you can get! I find it humorous how people make such a big deal about it. We had a few little snowflakes recently too, and Mike was told he didn't have to come into work the next morning if he didn't feel "safe" to do so. Haha! There was no trace of any accumulation on the roads even!
