A Dusting of Snow for Central Texas

Last night we had a tiny little dusting of snow. It is just enough to make things pretty, but not so bad as to cause many problems. You know many folks in central Texas don't know how to act in snow. The G-man & I went to a little breakfast place (Maxine's on Main) this morning and saw where a Suburban had slid down one of our hills & into a tree. Just a minor problem for the driver... no one was injured.


I think this was Gertie's first time to be in snow and she's almost 13 years old. It's been a long time since we had snow in central Texas although further east has had a good bit the last couple of years. There is more humidity along the coast which caused a big snowfall there a couple of years ago. Then we were in a huge drought so we missed out on rain & snow.

North Texas is no stranger to snow. Snow falls every year from Dallas to Lubbock & north into the Panhandle. The G-man's sister called on the 2nd to wish him a happy birthday & told us about the zero degree temperatures & snow they were experiencing. Brrr!

Below are some photos from around the area taken this morning.
