I took this picture at 8:15 am. The sleet had already started falling. When I looked at about 7:30 and there was only a tiny puddle in the driveway but no white stuff.
Around 10 am we could hear the sleeting rain loudly falling on the plastic covering the plants in the backyard. This is a picture from the front where the icicles were hanging from the roof and forming on the youpon.
What a difference a couple hours make! Our total whiteout... you can't tell where the street ends and the grass starts. It is 28° at noon; 29° was high yesterday; 33° high tomorrow. About an hour after I took this, the Mail truck delivered our mail. I just saw a squirrel run across the yard. Too fast to get a picture.
Wendy sent me this from Bowie. All 30 or so chickens are inside the coop. Can you see the Rooster on the top?
Is it Springtime yet? Barefoot walking in the GREEN grass! I am so ready for flowers to be blooming!
Good Monday Morning to you! We started this day at 26° feels like 16°. We will NOT be above freezing until noon on Wednesday when our high will be 35°.
We are supposed to have freezing rain and sleet for the next 3 days and then on Thursday... just rain. Are you jealous?
Now, I know a bunch of you like winter and are used to this for months on end. However... this is TEXAS! And I really do like it 80° to 90° most days.
Lots of people moved here from other states. I wonder if they know how to drive on ICE??? At 6:30 this morning, the news was reporting 18 wrecks in the last 40 minutes and that was BEFORE rush hour. They said you could easily be stuck in your car for over an hour.
