    16 degrees, not to get out of the 20's today, second day it has not gotten above freezing. Yep, it's official. Only about half an inch but it is still coming down lightly.

    Now we just need someone to teach pigs to fly and there will be utter and complete chaos in the world. ;)

    It's still coming down and the forecast has been changed to possibly a 1-2 inch accumulation and possibly more tomorrow morning!!!!!!

    Oldest daughter is in downtown Dallas at a science teacher conference and their school just cancelled classes for the rest of the day so Randy is on his way up to get the grandsons and take them home.

    We just have a dusting of snow but it says there is a 40 percent chance of wintery mix. It was cold here this morning.

    Birds don't seem to mind though.

    This is enough snow for me. That's twice we had snow this month. Toni can have mine, too.

    Oh ! You are in the part where the weather is going north toward Oklahoma instead of heading toward us.

    It's beyond unusual to see photos of your garden (FRED) covered with snow Toni! But it looks very pretty.

    Brrrrr...I'm going to have to pack a parka for when I take my trip. All I had were some Hawaiian shirts, bermuda shorts, flip-flops and a pair of sunglasses. This calls for a re-think.

    Thanks for the info, I'd better call my trip organizer and see what the monetary penalties are if I cancel the trip all-together. ;)

    Sjoerd are you going in a handbasket? I grew up hearing that was the easiest way to get there. ;)
