Ice, Ice Baby

I don't know about you,
but I find weather VERY VERY
interesting.
I like to know what the weather
is going to be,
every .... single ... day!

Larry has even accused me of
having the hots for
one of my local news stations
weatherman,

But honestly, it's not him I love,
it his skills (or sometimes non-skills)
at predicting the ALWAYS changing
weather here in Texas.

At first it was just going to be cold temps.


Then we were supposed to have
a little rain, but the cold snap
would come afterwards.


Next, it a slushy mix of
ice and rain was predicted.

Instead we got a crazy amounts of wind
that chuck ice balls at our windows from 1am-5am.
It was so loud, neither Larry or I could sleep.

And by 5am the cold came.
We're talking ALASKA COLD!
Wind chill into the negatives!!


And all those wet ice balls became ICE!
It was so cold our yards became
an instant ice skating rink.

Turn your volume up!
Just listen to the cracking noise!!

Least to say, the kids were home from school
for 2 days.
And Larry stayed home too,
opting to take vacation days since
the county court house rarely shuts down.
(even if no judge or ADA is there!! HA!)

And the new prediction?
We aren't going above freezing
for 5  1/2 days straight!!
