Snow Days

I have noticed that over the years I tend to miss all the really big snow falls where I live or was living. For instance, when Alan and I were first married, I heard about snow falls in the metroplex but not very many in Midland. We then moved to Fort Worth, Midland got hit with record snow fall. I am not going to continue to explain the whole ordeal with moving and missing the snow.

This year Weatherford got hit with a lot of snow at Christmas. We were in Tennessee with Mom and Dad. I am not complaining about that. We needed that trip. However, I leave for San Antonio Wednesday and I wake up to the news that Schools are closing in the Metroplex. So I text Alan to see if they are up and ready to leave. Alan calls me back and says they have cancelled school. My school went home at 10 AM and I got the call later that evening that school was cancelled for Friday. I am not even there to see the 8 inches of snow in our yard. We live on a hill and I asked Alan how the drive way looked. He said, " What drive way? I can't see the driveway." He later got out and attempted to shovel the drive way. He said to me, "I don't know how people in the north do this all the time."

I told Alan to take a lot of pictures so here they are. One picture of the ground is a snow angel Andrew made. On the title it says 12 inches of snow but it was 8. 12 inches is the actual snowfall we have gotten so far.

  1. Tell Alan, people in the north use snowblowers. We were just talking the other day about when you guys came to Des Moines that snowy Christmas and Alan's first words as he was shivering were "how do you live here?"
