What a difference a day makes

Well after our record snow fall here, my kids and i drove around the neighborhood once roads were decent to look at the many snowmen built. Had to share these two - a Valentine snowman and a chicken! The snow is gone now, schedules are back to normal with school and work, planes are back in flight. I imagine people flying off to warm exotic place. These "sculptures" are reduced to tiny mounds of snow, but they will live on here to come back another day -- and i will eventually get back to a warm exotic place too.

Snow Day!!!

I'm sure most people up north are sick to death of all the snow and cold they've had. But here in Texas we hardly ever get snow, much less like the snow fall we had today. It was a TRUE SNOW DAY. Unfortunately nothing closed so we had to just watch the snow fall from our windows (those of us lucky enough to have windows in our work areas). All day i just wanted to go out and play, make snowmen, have a snowball fight and make snow angels. The snow is just pouring down like nobody's business and not much work is getting done as everyone keeps going to the window to watch this rare treat.
i managed to take a few photos with my cell phone on the way in to work this morning. not very good ones - but you get the idea here. From the weather forcast this promises to stick around till tomorrow so should have some much better pics then.
