Snow! That's right...cold, frozen, white bits of evil, falling from the sky. That's what they say is going to happen in our area. Possibly 3 inches of the foul stuff. I'm hoping they are misinformed and we don't get any. In fact, I'm ready for summer and a trip to the beach.
Personally, I like snow. I like it to come, stay a day or two, then go away. And when we get snow here in our part of Texas, that's what it does.
Here's the problem. Most people in our area have no clue how to handle snow and ice. Just the mention of winter weather sends most everyone to the store for milk, bread, cereal, poptarts, water, and all sorts of "emergency" rations. And, that leaves the store shelves bare for at least a week for those of us who don't make the mad rush.
And driving...oh my. I think the drivers become even more dangerous. Look, white stuff on the road, let's see how fast we can go. It's like they turn crazy. It's already scary driving here but most Texas drivers have no business on the road with snow and ice.
What about you? Are you involved in winter? Are you enjoying it?
Oh...the snowman in the above picture was built by my kids about 7 years ago. And yep, in Texas, our snowmen wear cowboy hats.
