Take this week - Sunday was sunny and 85 degrees. We had to turn on the air conditioning in the car on the way home from Cirque du Soleil. And then yesterday - it snowed. It was practically a blizzard. Some schools in Austin closed early, and others opened late this morning. There was a run on marshmallows and hot chocolate at the stores. It was chaos!
All for a whopping half inch of snow.
I mean, you can hardly see across the street for all the snow coming down.
It was so deep that Campbell could barely walk in it.
And we nearly lost Elizabeth in a snowdrift.
Ella and Lily and the neighbors were able to build a giant snowman with all the snow in the yard. The snow lingered for hours after the sun came up this morning. You can't even imagine the mess on the roadways. Thank goodness TXDoT sent out sand trucks.
We'll be talking about the Blizzard of '10 for years to come.

You made me smile - but we're facing another storm overnight that, depending on its track, will dump anywhere from 2 to 18 inches of snow by Friday afternoon.
I'm SO done with winter!
That's my kind of blizzard. You've got to love a blizzard that allows you to clear your walkway with a broom!
You know what? I'm not even going to go there...
I'm glad the girls got to see more snow! All 1/2 inches of it! At least they were able to see it come down and that's the prettiest part anyway.
It was pretty, though! Happy to see it come and happy to see it go. Let's move on to the springtime now!
Wow! Some blizzard!
We didn't get ANY snow this year in Seattle. The trees are blooming early here :)
That's funny. I'll try to do our version today...
Haha! Bit like us. We very occasionally get snow in the blue mountains and my sister grabs the kids for a day's play in it before it all melts! Looks like fun even if it is a little thin on the ground! Put a hat on that baby!
So funny. I love that teeny tiny snow man!
Funny you. The snowman is spectacular!
