Snow Day, Part II


There was already snow on the ground when we woke up Thursday morning. The snow fell all day long and hadn't stopped when I went to bed just after 11 p.m. Not surprising that most area schools were closed. M parents still have the old sled my sister and I used to use in Virginia. All I had readily available to tow the kids with was my sit-on-top kayak. Z loved it!


J made a few "snow angels" in the back yard.


Here's an idea of how much snow we got yesterday ... the accumulation on the swing set was after we'd played on it Thursday evening. It's about 2 p.m. Friday, and the roads are looking better. No sun today, so the snow isn't melting too quickly, but it is falling off the roof and trees. Our neighbors lost one of their trees, and another saw damage, as the wet, fluffy snow built up until the weight was too much for the branches. Pretty wild to get this much snowfall in north Texas ... our area set an all-time record for snowfall in one day.
