It's snowing

This is our “snowfall”

Nanny:

We got the same thing–I live about an hour out of Houston. I teach fifth grade, and when the school secretary came over the loudspeaker and announced it was snowing this afternoon, I couldn’t have kept my students in the classroom if I’d tried…We all went running outside to throw snowballs–no luck there! But it was fun.

My husband and I lived up north when the kids were little. I got used to having four seasons, and now I kinda miss it. Still, I’m glad I never have to drive in that mess again!

Hey, that’s pretty good, it’s sticking!

Like I said it snowed here yesterday and there is a low spot in my driveway where water puddles that stayed icy all day - so, it is cold today :winter:

I am usually reminded by my mother of the time my oldest sister prayed really hard that it would snow. She was afraid Santa’s reindeer wouldn’t have a soft place to land. It snowed and stuck for a day and a half. My sister insists it’s true.

as a fellow Texan, and since this is only the second time i have seen snow stick to the ground, im with ya. this is awesome. i just think its a shame my daughter wont remember it since it will probably be 3-10 years until it happens again.

I was so excited when I saw it!

I just wish it would have been on Christmas Eve so we could have a white Christmas again like we did in 2004.

Its supposed to be 60 tomorrow, so we need to enjoy it while we can

Paula–did you go catch any snowflakes on your tongue? Even we adults can do that!

Ummm had 14 inches here since Dec 1st. Had snow on the ground Thanksgiving. Last year we had 108 inches total, this year more is expected.

I love snow. Like Andy said it makes everything look better.

I’m glad for you Texans, but yeesh, that’s barely a dusting. Is it even enough to make a snow angel in?

I actually went to a workout group that meets outside – we were all catching them on our tongues We work out at a city park and it was so fun seeing everybody outside with their kids sliding down the hill – on skiboards or some made use of cardboard. Plus all the doggies that were running around and playing in it.

well we got close to 3 inches maybe a little more as of now and its pretty much stopped. i lined our patio railing with 28 snowmen from 6 to 28 inches tall. we had plenty more would be too much.

i would have just done edit but too late for that. its still snowing. that makes about 8hrs straight. its not quite freezing so a lot is melting, but its still sticking to the ground nicely.

i woke up yesterday and some said we might have snow by the end of the day. i said yea right…snow in houston after we just had temps in the 70’s the day before??? But alas i got out of my final at 9:30pm and there was snow on my car.

Nice to look at but so glad the ground was too hot to keep it around. Houstonians are bad enough drivers on a good day that i wouldn’t want any ice on the roads.

got to love Texas weather though. I believe it is suppose to get back up into the 60’s during the weekend.
