I thought I'd woken up in another country this morning. In all likelihood it'll have disappeared by the afternoon though.

Luckily I got my last minute Valentine's Day shopping in last night before it arrived or else I'd have been in the bad books this morning. Thank goodness for 24hr shopping!

Happy Valentine's Day y'all!

Maybe I'll be wishing for snow in a few years, but right now I'd rather have the clear blue sky and 68 degree weather that I'm sitting on my patio in.

Nice pics.

I guess they don't get snow very often in the DFW Metroplex, one of the local "news" channels was going nuts this morning. The news 'copter was able to give us live coverage of a breaking story: 2 kids were rolling a large snowball across a field. Well, there wasn't much going in the way of police chases to watch this morning as the roads were too slippy. There were some interesting roadside interviews with ordinary drivers on their opinion of the road conditions. I particularly enjoyed an educational piece on how to measure the depth of the snow using a ruler!

Does anyone besides me remember the "Great Texas Freeze Out of 1978" As I recall, most of north Texas was covered over in solid ice for about a week. Schools were closed all week, and almost no-one made it to work!

Nah, I didn't shovel it... it was melting as fast as it was falling so as the kids had walked up and down the path the snow there had melted already.

It's all gone today, lovely and sunny and we've just got back from the park where the kids played in their short sleeved t-shirts with no coats Gotta love this changeable Texas weather.

The funny thing is all the snow has gone today apart from a few snowmen here and there.

Driving around the neighbourhood this afternoon the odd snowman was looking very sorry for himself as he melted in the lovely sunshine
