Still snowing!

It's still snowing. So much so now that you can't even see the grass. Wait...what grass?

Here's an interesting fact that was on the news tonight. Every year we've had a hurricane, there's been snow the following December.
1983--Hurricane Alicia in August, snow in December.
1989--Hurricane Jerry, snow in December.
2008--Hurricane Ike, snow tonight.

Is there a correlation?

We also had snow Christmas Eve in 2004, but no hurricane that previous summer.

We are under a winter weather advisory now. Hmm...late arrival tomorrow at school? Maybe we'll have a snow day? I guess we will have to wait and see.

Snow? In Texas?

Yes, your eyes aren't fooling you! Driving home from school mid-afternoon today was a frigid one! It was a mixture of sleet and rain. (Ok, you Northerners. I know this sounds pathetic to you, but you have to remember, it only snows in Texas once in a blue moon!) It's been snowing for a little more than hour now, and believe it or not, it is beginning to stick and acumulate! The temperature is below freezing, so the snow might just be hanging around for awhile. Although it is to be back in the low- to mid-50s tomorrow. And by this weekend it is to be back in the 70s. Where, I ask you, where does the five day forecast go from snow to mostly sunny and in the 70s? Only in Texas!

My parents spent the day up at the lake house. Yes, dad fished all day. (Is he nuts??) Apparently it snowed up there most of the day. It must look beautiful!

Tim says I'm acting like a kid. He keeps coming in the computer room to tell me it's acumulating more and more, and I keep running outside to look. I just came back in from tromping in the field, and once upon the sidewalk I had to stomp the snow out of my shoes!

It's so much fun. Although, I wouldn't have to live in it day in and day out!

The weathermen originally said the snow would end around 10 tonight, but there's been an update and now they are saying 6 a.m. Hmm...wonder what it will look like in the morning. Keep your eyes peeled for an update!

Girls Night Out

Last Tuesday night, a few of my friends and I went out for a night out on the town. Ok, not really, but we did get together. I guess one could say it was in a sense, my bachelorette party. We went to Papasitto's for dinner and then went to Main Event for some bowling. It was fun, except for the embarrassing moments.... The wearing of the vail in the restaurant, and the index cards pinned all over me of words of advice. (Hence the pictures below.)

A good time was had by all!
