Snow Day in Texas!!

I love being a Texan, but I'm not all that crazy about the weather.  Most of the time, it's okay...but there are those 108 degree days...thank you, Lord, for a pool!  There are also lots of very cold days...and my school is an older, open concept school without hallways, so the minute I step out of  my office, I'm outside.  There are days that my coat never comes off. 

I'm not complaining because I think I do much better when it's not cold, and there are more of those days.  But sometimes I long for snow.  I've never lived in the north, so I've never really had a white Christmas.  I have lived in New Mexico, and remember snow days where you still had to go to school...an unknown concept in Central Texas.  We had a pretty good snow day this year.  It had been cold enough for several days to stick to the ground.  I didn't actully get to see it..it happened during the night.  But, as soon as I woke up, I took pictures.

Looking out my bedroom window
No swimming today!
My driveway
Sorry birds!
Looking down on my deck...the wind blew over chairs and rugs
