Record Setting Snow!!

We are in the midst of record setting snowfall in North Texas! I woke up at 2:30 AM to let Elkee out, and the patio table already had a layer of snow. I just KNEW that school would be delayed or canceled, but I was WRONG!!! I made my way to school and this is what the playground looked like at 7:30. By the time I left at noon, the sidewalks were completely covered!! The kids and I just stared out the window watching the HUGE flakes! It was gorgeous!

The guys started clearing some trees yesterday in preparation of Eric's new "Garage-Mahal!" They were not working today, though. You can see Edee's poor little four wheeler in the yard. It might be buried before the snow stops falling!

My mom and I guestimated that by 3:00 PM we had picked up over 5 inches! Some areas near us are already reporting 7-8 inches! That is more snow than we usually get in a year, much less in one day! Mom was planning to leave today and head back to East Texas, but Mother Nature had other plans! Besides, Edee and I really like having her here while Eric is in Austin!

The front yard is covered and the roads are becoming more slushy! PLEASE let us have a delayed start tomorrow!!!!!!

Gary took this picture outside of his office in Mineola. They are getting a fair amount of snow, but it is not sticking. (You can tell who the REAL photographer is!! I just used my phone!!)

Hope y'all are safe and warm!
