Monday's Snow

I was recently visiting family in Texas for a weekend and enjoyed the 50 degree temperatures as I peeled layers of clothing off while waiting for my luggage to arrive.  Generally, January is a great time to travel to Texas and enjoy a break from the single digit temperatures.  Unfortunately, the snow followed me and they received 4 inches of snow the next day.  As I sat in front of the "first fire of the season", I snickered as the weathermen broke into the football game with updates on the snow accumulation.  The DFW airport cancelled hundreds of flights, schools closed, and everything came to a standstill.  To be fair, they don't have snow often and don't have the equipment to handle this much snow.  But on the flip side, the streets were warm enough that within a day, most of the snow would melt.  I did laugh when the weather men named the storm "Operation Ice Blast 1".  When I came home and told some friends about it, they said, "We name our storms too.  We call them Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday . . ."

So here is a photo of Monday.
