SNOW!!!!

It's ridiculous how cold it's been this week.  I had to brave the freeze on Wednesday and make sure the exposed pipes were insulated.  Of course, I broke off the frozen hose by accident (only where the plastic meets the metal end so the spigot is fine).  We've had our faucets dripping and the heat has been on pretty steadily.  22F, 23F, 26F (-3C to -5C)  degrees with windchill in the low low teens(-11C).  This is not the San Antonio weather we were told about!

All week the weather forcasters have been predicting snow.  It snowed here once in 2004 but barely a dusting - much like today - and then back in 1985.  Needless to say, everyone was worked up.  The ice that came along with this snow had the city shut down this morning.  Schools closed and businesses opened at noon.  Really, in comparison to real winter, this is a bit ridiculous.  But I know someone who thoroughly enjoyed her 5 minutes of snow!...
