Snow Day. December 4, 2009.


It snowed here on Friday! Austin was so excited on Thursday when he came home from school. Apparently the teachers all told the kids it was going to snow when they woke up the next day! When we woke up Friday morning it was hazy and trying to rain...it think it was 34 degrees or so. So by the time Austin got out of the shower it started to snow.

Austin really hurried (for once) and got dressed really fast so he could go outside and feel the snow fall on his face and try to catch the snow flakes.



Within 10 minutes it was done snowing. I went to class, and right before English was over. around noon it started to snow really hard and big snow flakes, it stopped again in about 30 minutes. Austin told me that at school they let them go outside and run around in the snow. It did snow again really hard about 3 pm, but again for about 30 minutes. Nothing stuck to the ground, there was a small layer on the top of the cars, roofs, trees. Then it cleared up and the sun came out! The next morning I had to go to work, and it got down in the 30's that night, so I drove very slowly on the big overpass at the beltway and 249. You could see the tire marks where the cars had gone and frost on the side of the roads. Other parts of Houston, around us got 2 inches or more. So that was our snow day!
