We had snow on Friday! The weather forecasters were predicting it, but in Houston I never believe it will happen until it is does. Austin had snow Thursday evening and I know others who woke up in the middle of the night to see it falling in and around Houston. We slept while it fell, but I did wake up early to see if we had snow and we did! I had heard it wouldn't stick so I thought I'd miss it, but it was a small layer of snow everywhere!
I went a little nuts taking photos (was a little late to work..worth it!) Driving to work was more interesting than usual, seeing families out playing in it and others out with child-like grins on their place as they just take it in. This has been a rough year, so its good to have some weather that makes the city happy, and is photographic for its beauty and not its destruction.
Its a bit surreal to me to see a pool surrounded by snow -- and no I don't want to go for a swim! I had to get my arms wet this weekend to clean the pool, and that was enough for me. Our first winter and we've already had snow. I think the last time it snowed was our first winter at the old house (2009), there was no snow while we lived in the townhouse.
This weekend we were also able to have our first fire in the fireplace, we had to have it repaired and the work was done on Saturday. I didn't realize how much I had missed the sound and beauty of a fire in the fireplace.
