Here's Something We Don't See Very Often


At least not around here in Central Texas



The usual weather guy wasn't on the air this morning and I have to wonder if it's because they put him on time-out.

Yesterday he predicted that a winter mix just might, maybe, reach down from the northwest counties as far as the city he broadcasts from, but he didn't think so.

Overnight it flat out snowed, not only into the city but all the way down to the coast over 100 miles further to the southeast. . .

These photos are a little dim and not as sharp as I would like because it wasn't yet sunrise when I took them; handheld. The air temp was already above freezing so none of this is going to last too long.

  2. When I saw this post I thought I was lost for a second. Where is global warming when you need it ?

    1. Roads were dry by 0800, snow was gone by 1000, but when it first started falling last night most the school systems in the area closed for Friday. People around here are not used to this stuff. The Wife and I went camping one Christmas in the mid '80s and it was a record breaker for cold. We had a very popular state park entirely to ourselves. We couldn't even find a ranger to pay for our site!

  3. Although the weather has turned cold here in Wisconsin (lower teens at night), we have only had a trace of snow. Where is your snowman? :-)
