Snow in TEXAS!

I feel like today is a "once in a lifetime".....

This photo is the view from my front door at 8:30 this morning. Yes, it's been snowing in Fort Worth. While it is rare, it sure is pretty.

I know those in Iowa are sick of this white stuff but for those of us here in Texas who don't see this stuff often.....it's wonderful!

Off to make me some hot cocoa and curl up on the couch to watch the snow fall! (we're up to 6.5 inches on the ground right now)

So. sick. of. snow.

I'm so over winter. If I never heard the words "blizzard" or "bone-chilling" the rest of my life, I would be A-OK. Just last night, we were under a blizzard warning. Several of the interstates and highways were closed, impassable because of snow drifts. School was closed, even up here! I think the last I heard, students already have six snow days to make up. And it's not even February yet! Dear sweet Old Man Winter, gimme a break!


How is the weather in Texas? Warmer than here, I imagine. Enjoy it for me, dear Lone Star State friends.

Annoying word I hear up here in the Corn

I hear many people up here say "acrost" instead of "across" and it bothers me so much! C'mon people, acrost isn't a word. I don't know if it's a regional thing (like "y'all"), but it takes everything in me not to correct those using this made-up word. Instead I hold my tongue.

So if you're guilty of this, please take note -- it's A-C-R-O-S-S!
