Today is December 4, and we are getting snow in Southeast Texas. This is the earliest date recorded. We got flurries last year on December 10 and it was beautiful in Galveston. We all rushed out to take photographs.
There is just something pretty spectacular about snow falling against the backdrop of the Gulf of Mexico.
We have a winter weather advisory and the snow is predicted to start at noon and last into the evening. Of course, our temps will warm up and it will be all gone, but it is fun right now and our folks are filled with anticipation. School and some offices have been dismissed for fear of icy roads.
I know our friends in Michigan (Jack and Laura Rounds) are laughing mightily at our excitement over snow when they have something like 7-8 inches and it will stay on the ground there until spring most likely. But for Southeast Texans, it is a novel thing.
Ted's niece has challenged everyone who blogs to begin on Monday, December 7 and go through December 20, using a line or the title of a Christmas carol or snow in their blog header. I said I would participate, so I'll try to be faithful.
Merry Christmas everyone,
Brenda
