Whoever said that 2021 would be a much more predictable year than 2020 didn't know what they were asking for!
Another impeachment along with appropriate acquittal, in part, but the topic of this post is the weather!
One month ago (Jan. 10) we saw the first snow in 10 years in this part of Texas. The pictures below were from that earlier storm.
The weather started to come in on Thursday, and traffic accidents in the area made the national news. Friday was relatively clear, but Saturday morning it started to ice again. We had hoped to visit family (Valerie and Michael) yesterday for her birthday, but as we were loading the car we started feeling ice, so we changed plans there. We had a pot of Mexican pulled pork that we were taking with us, so we invited Mom and Dad up to share it.
It started to snow overnight with a light dusting, but the temperatures began to drop.
As I write this, it is Valentine's Day and snowing again. The temperatures dropped below freezing on Friday with predicted snows overnight. Both our employers have shuttered until the winter storm has ended, but the predictions are for freezing temperatures until Friday (today is Sunday!). Even church was canceled.
I remember stories of when I was a toddler of 11 inches of snow, but rarely have we had even a dusting since, although ice is far more frequent. Predictions have as much as 18 inches possible over the next few days.
This is historic, and over the next few days it looks like another event that needs to be documented. Sadie is glad for the snow, but we are worried about the animals. This is an unusual cold with windchills in the negatives at times. It was warmer today in Juneau, Alaska! Perhaps some pictures will be in order in the coming days.
