Only in Houston, TX do the kids stop what they're doing to jump for joy over falling snow! Yesterday, it was 78 degrees. I almost turned the air conditioning on. Tonight....it's snowing! Crazy Texas weather!It has been nasty all day - windy and rainy all day. The temperature hasn't gone above 35. Tonight, we pulled into the gymnastics parking lot and the snow had just started to fall. All of the kids had come out of the gym & they were all running around cheering in the parking lot! It was pretty neat - big flakes of snow coming down. I let the girls 'take it all in' for a little bit before we went into the building. It was still coming down when we left an hour later.
When we got home, the girls wanted to 'play' in the snow. Luckily, there was a little bit of accumulation in the back yard. Taite was able to make a snowball to throw at her dad. Then, she made a SNOWMAN! Yeah, it was only 4" tall, but it is indeed a snowman & she was very proud of it.
IT STUCK! I really can't believe that the snow continued into the night. Lewis ended up waking Taite back up to see the snow falling and on the ground in our yard. Pretty cool!
What a cool little treat tonight. Something that is a nuisance or no big deal to many people in other places is going to be a great memory for lots of kids, and adults around here!
By the way - the forecast is in the upper 70's again next week! Crazy!

Love your look! I almost grabbed that background!
Wasn't all that snow something else? I just did not believe I'd ever see it snow here. I missed the Christmas snow 3 years ago.
The little snowman is perfect!!!!
And, yes, crazy Texas weather. It's been such a wacky year for us!
You got some great pictures of the snow coming down. I love Taite's little snowman!! So cute.
H-Town is not known for its great Christmas weather, but when we do get a little sprinkle of snow - we really appreciate it. It was so beautiful when it was falling & really put us in the spirit of the season. Too bad it had to zoom back up to our default holiday weather of 70 deg., muggy, & slimy. Oh well, this too shall pass - and who knows what it'll be tomorrow???
