First Snow

So far we have had 2 snow falls this season.  Being from Texas, what we got was not what I expected. I thought a foot of snow would fall in a day, but that is certainly not the case. I told the kids to wait a little bit before we went out to go play so that the snow would accumulate some.  After about 30 minutes of so-called waiting, it took us then another 30 minutes to get all geared up in snow suits, boots and hats!  By the time we finally got outside, the snow was starting to melt. The kids were a little sad there was not more to play in, but hopefully some will stick later in the season that they can experience. Strangely enough the week that this snow fell was the same week North Texas had its "Icemageaden" where they were snowed and iced in for about 5 days!  Ironic.
