Is that our street?

Snow Day!

It doesn't happen here often-- but when snow hits the state of Texas, we shut things down. Schools close, roads close, everybody just stays home. Now granted, roads were icy and slippery. We've had below freezing temps since Tuesday morning, and finally just broke the 33 degree mark this afternoon. It will all be melted within the next couple hours... but I can say it was magical, waking up to a "winter wonderland"-- everything was white this morning! Nice to sleep in, kids played and walked in the snow, even the dogs had fun. We've enjoyed hot chocolate, board games, friends over... But... I am also glad it won't be something I have to deal with beyond today!
