Snow in Houston!

The meteorologists started talking about it earlier in the week and I didn’t really believe them.  I heard them mention the “S” word and just thought, “yeah right”…in Houston?  Well they were right…the two fronts collided and about 8:30 this morning, the white stuff started falling.  Schools started to close and call for early dismissals and even many businesses across town started shutting down early.  My school district, of course, did not close, or dismiss early…but it wasn’t really a big deal.  The kids were extremely excited about the snow and just couldn’t believe that we were going to make them do work when it was snowing outside…but they did all manage to survive until the last bell rang to end the day at 2:30.  The snow was really coming down when I left right after school ended and I was pleasantly surprised at what I saw in the backyard when I got home.

the dog wasn’t really sure what to think of the snow…she’s not a big fan

Obviously we didn’t get a whole heck of a whole of snow in our part of town, but some parts of the Houston area got 4 inches of snow!  Crazy!
