Since you probably haven't seen enough of those around the blogs,,,,,,,
The first good snow of Jack's life, and the first White Christmas in Dallas in 80 years.
We had snowball wars, made snow angels, a snow man, and slid down the hill
on a cardboard box the next day. By Saturday, the snow was all but used up,
and by Sunday it was almost all melted. But what a magical time for a little boy.
(and his Babs)
:-D
The weather had begun here before we got out of town, with sleet and freezing rain.
We managed to get half way to Dallas without any problems though,,, that is if you don't count
a large cup of coffee dumped in my lap, and windshield wiper blades with a frozen motor.
(but that's another story or two)
As we got closer to Dallas, the weather was intensifying,
but we got there safe and sound, with only wet jeans to complain about.
I took a pot of beef stew for Christmas eve supper,and Jack and I made a birthday cake for Jesus.
With lots of sprinkles,,,,,that boy loves sprinkles!
The National weather service reported we'd had 14 inches of snow here at home, on top of the freezing rain, blizzard conditions, complete with 60 m.p.h.winds.
Many homes without power.
We dreaded coming home to that.
The interstate was fairly decent,,,and we really had no problems getting here, and the 14 inches wasn't accurate, but what we did have was plenty, and quite unusual for Oklahoma.
The forecast says another inch will be here tomorrow night. Well,,,,what's one more, right?
Bring it on,,,,let's get it over with!
