Southern Snow

I can’t believe that there is still snow on the ground!  This week we got a record 12.5” inches of snow in the Dallas area!!  We were so excited, because it is the most snow that Dallas has ever had!  In 1964 Dallas got 12.1”, so this was a new record!  Mesquite schools were closed on Friday so Charlie did not have to go to work.  We tried driving around the neighborhood Friday, after sliding a few times on the slush and getting stuck in our driveway, I decided not to make the drive in to work.  So we had a little snow day!

This was Thursday morning, driving down my driveway, on my way to work.
