Who Said it Doesn't Snow in Houston?

Yesterday it was so cold outside. Yes, cold enough to generate large amounts of frozen precipitate better known as snow. Apparently the last time Houston experienced snow of any type was on Christmas Eve about four years a go, and even then it only lasted about ten minutes then melted.

After moving from Colorado, where I am told they are still awaiting the first snow of the season, I was surprised to see this familiar friend floating around. I thought we had experienced the last of the frozen fluff. I have to admit, I do miss it a little bit but only as long as I don't have to drive in it.

Driving along to pick up Emma from church on Wednesday, the snow was falling hard and fast. The flakes were so big and reflective off the oncoming headlights. I was moved to tears thinking about my family in Colorado and my family spread across the Eastern Seaboard. All I want, really want, this year for Christmas is to be with family. Although I cannot be with everyone I love and miss, Christmas was brought to me a little early.
