Snow in North Texas

The new house (long before the yard was blanketed with snow).




I'm sitting here in the comfort of my new home office, listening as the frozen precipitation hits the window. The grass is nearly covered with a mixture of wet snow and frozen rain. To those used to the snow, it's not much, but this type of weather tends to shut things down in North Texas. Businesses close early, schools cancel classes, and the traffic becomes even more horrific than normal. Thankfully, I worked from home all day.

After a fairly mild winter, we've had snow twice this month. Earlier this week, we got a slight dusting here is Carrollton, but today, it's been more pronounced. And the snow will probably stick around for a while -- at least through the night. Days like this are fun when winter weather doesn't strike too often.
