The First Snow

In the 11 years I have lived in Fort Worth, it seems that we are most likely to get snow once or twice during the winter.  There have been a couple of years where there was no snow fall and a year or two (2009 and 2010) where we got more snow than we knew what to do with.  However, it is not likely that the first snow would actually fall (and stick) on Christmas day, but it did!

When my family walked out of Buca di Bepos after having a scrumptious lunch, it was cold and windy, but it was snowing!  A couple of hours later when we walked out of the movie theater, we were pleasantly surprised to see the snow was sticking to ground and really starting to accumulate, at least for Texas snow!  By the time we got home, it was getting dark and still very windy for the kids to play outside so we waited until the morning to introduce snow to Natalee!
