Wild Wacky Weather in Texas

Believe it or not, it snowed in Texas this week. Mixed between our normal seasonal 60-degree days, were 5 days of ice, snow, and wintery chaos.

To most outside of the Lone Star State, snow days aren’t that big a deal. You put on a heavier coat, grab the snow shovel, and trudge your way through life as if nothing happened. But not here in Texas.

In Texas, when it snows, life stops. No one leaves their house. The roads become barren ice lands. For four days in a row, the Arctic decided to visit North Texas.

During all of these snow days, we enjoyed making snowmen, sledding, relaxing by the fire, drinking hot chocolate, playing when we should be in school, and snuggling under a warm blanket. Because it almost never snows here in Texas, the kids loved playing in it and all the kids from the neighborhood had a huge snowball fight, threw snowballs at icicles, and went sledding on our swimming pool tubes. Last week we missed four days of school and today we missed another day. The interesting thing, this weekend it will be 60 degrees. Texas weather can be so unpredictable.
