What a Winter!!

 
What a strange winter we're having here in Southeast Texas!  We can go years without seeing hardly any kind of frozen precipitation and during the last 2 1/2 weeks, we've had 3 days of a combination sleet/snow/freezing rain.  It was pretty funny to see the entire area almost shut down because of a little sleet on the roads, but probably a good thing.  Before they closed the bridges and overpasses there were a lot of wrecks because most people here are just not accustomed to driving in such conditions. 
 
 
 
 The poor birds looked pretty miserable!


 
We didn't have snow here so we drove up to the lake where we keep our trailer so we could get a few snow pictures.  They had a couple of inches up there.






 Snow in the campground.





No camping this time.  




Back at home - just a few icicles left.



Sweet little mockingbird trying to stay warm.




More of something frozen again today! 
 
 
Wish we could have had a good snow fall here but
winter's not over yet!  Maybe this will be our year!
 
We might have to make a winter trip up to K.C. to see Jill and Jason.  There's plenty of snow up there and I don't think it's going away any time soon!

Our "White Christmas" in Kansas City

We had an early Christmas visit with Jason and Jill.  When we got there the temperature wasn't much different than back home but on Saturday the bottom fell out!  The wind started blowing and temperatures dropped into the teens and later in the afternoon it started snowing lightly.  It was the prettiest snow fall I've ever seen - just like glitter blowing through the sky.  We woke up on Sunday to about an inch of snow and I'm sure wind chills were below 0.  Not exactly what we're use to in Southeast Texas - but with our many layers of clothing we stayed quite warm and cozy.

Our Christmas Eve


This is right after it stopped snowing - now just C O L D!!!

We should be building a snowman!
