Okay, that’s a lie. It snows in Dallas. And today, for the first time in 25 years, it’s snowing a LOT ... and plenty of snow is still falling as I write this! We’ve got seven inches on the ground and expect at least another three before the storm tapers off around 10 p.m.
Sam was extremely excited about the weather this morning so he bundled up and built a snowman on the front lawn, which turned out so cute that I submitted the photo (see below) to the Dallas Morning News’
website. For your possible interest, the snowman’s eyes are Brussels sprouts and his mouth is baby carrots from the fridge. Sam used a screwdriver handle for the nose because apparently we didn’t have any nose-shaped vegetables on hand. I’m also including a shot of the front of our house as it looked around 10 a.m. At the moment we’re pretty much buried in snow here, and it’s getting worse by the minute.
Sam came home from work early (5:30 p.m. instead of 10) after his office building lost power around 4, and then they started hearing reports that the roads were turning to ice. He said the commute averaged about 10 m.p.h. on the freeway, and the car in front of him was fishtailing every time the driver tried to slow down. Sam grew up in California and doesn’t know how to drive in weather like this. I’m so glad he got home in one piece that I’ve decided to make omelettes for dinner. Thank you for reading this.
