This is Texas — albeit NORTH Texas, but Texas nonetheless. This is not the norm but here it is —
There wasn’t much, you couldn’t make a snowball or a snowman but you could get in a multi-car pileup or fall down and break something.
Clearly the trash wasn’t collected and when the sun came out later in the day it all melted - the snow, not the trash. Whatever was left refroze, of course.
Schools were cancelled for today because of the power grid issues and because they needed to check for broken pipes and such. That is ok because again, the streets.
My granddaughter got to have her guitar lesson on a zoom call. Modern technology makes it impossible to have a good and proper “snow day” but I would imagine that was fun.
I know to my friends up north or in farther flung areas this doesn’t look like much but it is enough to paralyze the entire Dallas/Fort Worth area and create all sorts of chaos. On the news this morning they were reporting major water main breaks in both cities. So, while we are conserving energy this morning to keep the grid going we will probably also be boiling water. I knew it was a prudent thing to do to buy that case of water. It is a good thing I have a prepper mind/heart.
Ok, so going for the second cuppa. Doggo had me up at 4:55 again which is really not my gig so I have to start moving or I might go into a coma — like yesterday. Eventually I am going to get this floor vacuumed.
Eventually.
Have a great day and stay warm and safe!

Isn't the weather just strange this year? Keep warm.
Just found your blog and love it! Hope you warm up soon!
Hi Granny M! Yes, the weather is strange — and I am just not so resilient anymore!
Hi, Diane! Welcome! I am sure my blog gave you a chuckle — we really don’t cope well down here with wintery weather but we usually have some funny stories to tell and come back ok on the flip side!
Diane in northern Wisconsin — I tried to visit your blog but it doesn’t seem to be public. I would love to visit!
I am really liking your blog. Sorry but I do not have a blog myself. I am basically just a reader and occasionally comment.
To Diane — I wish you had a blog but you are welcome to visit here anytime you want. I try to post fairly regularly and I try to make it interesting but, you know, some days just arent! but I do like blogging and I really like my bloggy friends so come back anytime!
