Snow...Take Four

Four days. I think that must be some sort of record for Texas. Four days in a row at home due to winter weather. Schools were closed from Tuesday through Friday last week due to the fact that many of the roads were still covered in sheets of ice as temperatures remained below freezing. Friday morning we got another four inches of snow on top of the ice that was still on the ground.

We finally felt some relief on Friday afternoon as the sun came out and icicles started dripping. Saturday's high was well above freezing, and by lunchtime the roads were a slushy mess...but driveable! Finally!

I do need to get these pictures up, though, or I will get so far behind and forget which storm was which! Yep...another winter storm in the forecast tonight. Our Wednesday night church activities have already been cancelled because they are calling for 100% chance of freezing rain/sleet/snow beginning at midnight. We'll wait and see if schools do the same!

Here are just a few of the TONS of snow pictures we took over four days at home! Brent was out of town all week and was able to safely land Friday afternoon...before the big melt began. What a blessing that was for us. We all needed some serious together-time!

Snow angels...

Daddy is HOME!!!!!! Bless his heart...he came in the door from a long, slippery drive home from the airport and immediately changed clothes and went outside with the girls to play. Such a great daddy!

Allie thought it was hysterical to throw snowballs at people...specifically at their bottoms. Snapped this picture just in time...

We made snow ice cream! Not a bug in sight! :) It was actually pretty tasty...

We knew it wouldn't be long before the snow melted on Saturday, so that morning we went up to the high school down the street and played in the snow on their football field. The snow was finally wet enough to make a snowman!

What a great snowman!

We'll wait and see what kind of crazy weather comes our way this week! Stay tuned!
