Snow Day

It happened again. Yesterday it was in the 70's, my kids were playing in the yard with no need for jackets and today we woke up to this:

I had no idea this storm was blowing in until yesterday. The forecast was very ominous, calling for a couple feet of snow with drifts up to 20 feet. The weathermen really like to freak people out here by making every storm seem like the end of the world. Well, it didn't snow as much as predicted but we got quite a bit for a spring day in Texas. The drifts by the fence were a couple feet tall. You can see that blue riding toy is completely covered on the deck.

All the schools were closed and the whole city shut down early. Brent closed the pharmacy early and what is usually a 45 minute drive home took almost an hour and a half. So we got to enjoy a nice day home together as a family--packing. I love the snow but unfortunately this is moving weekend for us. We are closing on our house on Monday so we have no choice but to move in this weather. Luckily most of the moving has been done but we still have all the big things like fridge, washer, dryer, etc. So hopefully the roads will clear and we can move otherwise Sunday will be crunch time. Wish us luck!
