Down the street.

Well, if it was in my street, I'd be running around in it like a banshee yelling "SNOW! SNOW! SNOW!" ;)

LOLOLOL, I had to run down the street in zebra print pajamas and sock feet chasing the dang dog. yelling snow! Snow! Snow! would add insult to injury. It's still coming down but just lightly.

jeepers...snow in texas!!
 

these are all in my front yard.

LOL, Julie.

So, Julie and Curious, how often in history would it have snowed like that where you are? This isn't a regular thing I would guess. I was just thinking about what I really would do if it snowed here... after I yelled the excited "SNOW!" stuff, I'd probably start yelling "HELP!" 'cause it just shouldn't happen.

Great pics. ladies. I love them. :)

Here's our snow from tuesday

our 60/70 yr old Oregon Douglas firs
and a snow covered shrub

How beautiful, Jo.
Only time and first time I saw snow in my entire life was in winter of 1998/99 in Washington State and B.C. and there was a little in Northern Calif. too. I must get out my photos later and look at them again.

Oh it was a glorious thing.

Curious are you getting the huge flakes now???

It's so beautiful now.

I have prettier ones from 04 and we had ice soon after the snow too!

Do y'all eat Texas Toast in Texas? ;)

lol We have special bread here that they call Texas Toast. I think it's hilarious.

Jo, gorgeous pics.

lara, julie and i get this for a day or so every winter. we are in the dallas ft worth area. the roads and our high high over passes are really a mess. very dangerous. lots of accidents.

yeppers julie!!! big fat ones. :D

oooooo...jo....pretty!!

:( 800 homes without power so far.

I hope everyone keeps safe then. I can imagine how dangerous it would be.
We had some really weird unseasonal weather here in Australia a couple of weeks ago. The really sad thing was that all the farmers lost all their spring/summer crops. It was beautiful for a day but it was devastating to see it in areas where it shouldn't have been snowing and they lost all their crops.

I love these pictures!! And I have to say, that GrandMonkey sure is a cutie!!
Hi Lara, have you ever tried Texas Toast? It is delicious!! I make it everytime I fix spaghetti!!
Right now, we have about six inches of snow. It started snowing on Thanksgiving and has just kept adding little by little but it is suppose to warm up a few degrees and the snow is suppose to melt. We had the wettest November on record!! It was over fifteen inches!! Like it doesn't rain here in Washington State already!!
Anyways, just wanted to say "Hi" to everyone and wish you a pain free day!!

Take care,
Linda :)

LOL linda...i had a piece with my spaghetti for lunch! yum huh?

and yeppers...me thinks he is pretty darn cute too. even after he beened me with a little snow ball. :p

so do you have a row boat? yikes..that is a lot of rain.:eek:

Hi Linda.
Yes, I love the Texas Toast. :D
Wow, that's a lot of rain for there for sure. When I was there it rained every day but it was light rain. The big difference I found between our rain and your rain was that the moment it rains here all the outside workers pack up for the day and go home, whereas there, it was so light most of the time, that everyone just worked around in it. That was an eye-opener.
Winter of 98/99 in Washington state was wet, wet, wet.

Oh I love the pictures! We are waiting for the predicted 8 to 12 inches tonight. Of course we are prepared for it...snow plows, snow tires...yadda yadda. *whisper...is it spring yet?

Loved the grandmonkey too!

LOLOLOL, Michael made a snowball and put it in the freezer. He then pointed out that it is colder outside than it is in the freezer.

Hi Curious,

Yes, I just love that Texas Toast!! I wonder if they can buy it in Texas? :p
Yep, that little Grandmonkey diffenitly looks like a keeper!! ;)

Hi Lara,
Actually,we do have a little boat in the back yard but hope not to have to use it!! I can't swim!! :eek: You know, it's so weird, we had the hottest and dryest summer but boy are we making up for it!! There was alot of flooding a couple of weeks ago around here and some people lost their houses!! They should on the news of the houses just floating down the river!! :eek: I feel so sorry for those people!! Guess we don't realize how lucky we are sometimes!!

Talk to you guys later,
Linda :)

We got an inch of ice then 6 inches of snow on top of that today. it was pretty. i got a picture or two of sis and one of her best friends making snow angels in the snow. I hope they turn out. Her best friend grew up in Arizona andhas been in Oklahoma now for 4 years. This is the first time shes seen this much snow at one time. Shes so excited. LOL...
