The Remains of the Snow starring My Back Garden

They had been predicting snow for several days.  Not a lot of snow, mind you, just a few flurries.  It would begin about rush hour on Friday morning.

So, with any luck, winter is over since it is supposed to be in the 70's on Tuesday. I jest because we have been known to have snow in March so we will see.  It is generally a crap shoot here in Texas in regards to the weather.

I did record this winter event for posterity and, for the viewing pleasure of my readers from up north,  a good laugh.
