It's a Christmas Miracle...

Not sure what is going on...but believe it or not...Houston had a SNOW DAY! The weatherman had been predicting it all week - chance of Flurries on Friday. Of course, we didn't believe any of them. The weather had been perfect all week - 50s and 60s - wear a sweater and all was good. But this morning, we woke up to some pretty cold rain and as I drove to work, the raindrops hit the windshield just a little more "solidly". By 9:00, that rain resembled flurries and by 10:30, those flurries were full-fledged flakes - and big ones at that. Early dismissal from school was announced and we were able to leave once all the students were safely home. I went to my car and actually had to scrape the inch thick snow off my van. As I drove home, the wipers were on almost full speed to keep the snow off and it built up around the edges of my windows. Enjoy the photos from our afternoon. It snowed continuously until 5:00 pm. The snow is slowly melting as the temperature dropped all day. It's supposed to be in the twenties all night long and the roads should be iced over in the morning. By the afternoon, it will be in the 50s again and all we'll have are the pictures. It was truly a really fun day!
