We had some in the Austin area Tuesday night. DH and I thought it was only sleeting so we didn't go outside to see it.As a native Texan I was quite floored to go to Ohio in January and see snow, all the people who lived there thought I was wacky because it was exciting!

Snow!

IT's SNOWING In the BIG EASY!!!
For the rest of you, this doesn't happen very often.
Yes, I used to live in snow country. Still own cross country skis. The whole office is in a tizzy.
Just thought I'd share. As I have a cube with a window, I'm hosting some of the excitment.Beth

Wow...that is strange! And it's raining here today, where you'd expect it to be snow this time of year!

I think ours is coming Friday night. I hope so!
But.... I have to drive 31 miles to work on Saturday morning. Could be an issue if it's too much! Maybe if it waits till I get home Saturday night, and then I just get to play in it Sunday.

The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

Lots and lots of rain here. LOTS of rain. And just the same day that the plumbers had to come over and jackhammer my basement for some plumbing issues related to the renovation. They left at lunch with a huge gaping hole in the basement, plugged up the drain at the bottom of the stairs so that all this rain is going right in my basement (and into the big hole they dug, which does drain). Oh, and they never came back from lunch!
And my new dog is not a rain dog.
Enjoy your snow!

facewash
A facewash can be when you push snow into someones face or you can pin them on the ground & then do it.
Also bad, snow down one's back

After it rained all day here yesterday, it turned to snow at dusk. We have a lovely layer of snow over a treacherous layer of ice.
I didn't have too much trouble driving in this morning. I slid a little once.
Now it supposed to warm up and be close to 60 by Sunday!
