Crazy Weather

This weather has been crazy. First there were two ice days in December to read about that experience click here. Just when the weather was getting nice again, and boom a complete change in 24 hours.

Saturday was beautiful, B and I went up to the lake house and had a great time. Sunday, the weather was starting to get bad so, we decided to head back home before it became worse, as did my Mom. Not the best plan in the world, because as we started our journey the weather took a violent turn for the worse. We had sleet and thunder and lighting. My Mom turned around before we did to head back as the thunder sleet grew worse and visibility too. So, B and I decided to turn around and head back to the house. We finally were able to get home Monday afternoon. Crazy but fun times. Below is what the driveway looked like. After we got back we watched huge snow flurries come down. Wish I had a video of that.

Another snow day

Now this is crazy we are now on snow day number 5. We had four last week and one today! This weather is just crazy for Dallas. Here are some pictures I just took on my camera. As I was taking them we are having snow falling too.

The snow is gone

Well, after about five days of snow it finally melted yesterday and is about all gone today. I am posting snow pictures. It was fun while it was here, but I am glad it is gone. It was crazy everything was closed here for days and schools were out for four days which is unheard of here. Crazy!

snow day five

Today, we woke up and there was still a LOT of snow around. It finally melted a bit today. I can say that I really enjoy snow, but am getting a little tired of it down in Texas. It has been beautiful to look at. We are supposed to get more snow this week, so we will see.

more snow

Today is day three of snow/ice day. This has NEVER happened in my memory at all of growing up here. I can not believe all the schools have been closed for three days in a row. Growing up if the EVER closed it was for just one day and then opened up the next day. So here is to relaxing today and taking in this time.

snow and ice day two

Today we have our second snow/ice day. It is so cold outside that everything is closed. I took pictures yesterday and will post them now because, well everything still looks as it did yesterday. We are also having rolling power outages. I already have had one early this morning. At my Dad's office they are only turning the power on for 15 minutes of every hour and off for 45 minutes so that all the houses can get power. So obviously, no one is working there today either. Here are my pictures I took yesterday.

SNOW

So today we have the first snow day of 2011 yes!  However, someone forgot to tell a local districts sub system that is automated that the school district was closed. I went and checked online after I got the call to confirm no school. Ugh, so I went back to bed for a while. The smart thing to do would have turned off the districts sub system on a day when your district is closed!

Today I woke up to more snow. Here are some pictures. It does not look like much but for Big D it is a lot! Also, the high today is only 32. Crazy
