Well apparently moving to Texas changes everyone's perspective on snow.
Apparently when it snows in South Texas, it's a HUGE deal. The weathermen have been talking all week about the possibility of snow on Thursday/Friday. They were using words like ''arctic blast'' and ''snowstorm''. They actually warned people to stock up on necessities and to stay off of the roads because of the snow. I ran to Target to some Motrin for the boys and the place was packed! People buying bread, eggs, water, movies, magazines...like they were preparing for a blizzard or something. So Thursday night B and I are watching the evening news and they are talking about the freezing rain that is coming down. Next thing I know they are saying how all bridges and overpasses have been shut down. By 1am on Thursday night they had actually SHUT DOWN the freeway.
Guys I can't even make this stuff up.
So we go to bed and wake to discover that yep, it snowed. Kids were outside playing in it, school was cancelled. Businesses were closed {Miss Sweetcheeks appointment was originally canceled but rescheduled for in the afternoon after "the weather cleared up"}. So you're expecting a ton of snow right?! I mean they shut down the freeway. Well, this is how much we got:
Yeah...
In the midwest, that's called a dust of snow. I mean, it didn't even stick to the grass. Needless to say, my boys were very disappointed. I think they had pictured something like this:
Well boys, we really aren't in Kansas anymore!
