Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow...

Last Thursday we were able to witness "Dallas weather history" as we got a record breaking 12 1/2" of the white stuff in just a 24 hour period. Moving here after four years in Nebraska still means it's not the most I've seen at once, but still...enough to put "life on hold" as they figure out how to manage all of the issues that come along with snow in a place that doesn't regularly get any.

It's actually quite amusing to watch how people in Dallas drive (and I use that term loosely) in inclement weather as opposed to watching people in Omaha who have been doing it since they got their license. Fortunately, the good thing about snow in Dallas is that even with a record breaking amount, it was back in the 40s a couple of days later (with temps in the 60s forecast for this week) and the only remnants still around are the few pitiful piles where some pretty impressive snowmen once stood. This is actually my favorite kind of snow - pretty coming down, it's warm enough to play in it for a day or so, and then it all melts away.

Speaking of playing in it...that's exactly what we did. Camden loved the snow and once we got outside, he had no interest in going back in. We mostly played on the swings in the backyard and threw the ball around. He also liked making snowballs to throw for Millie to catch. Here are some pics from our snow adventures...I have some video too but I am currently searching for the cable to hook the camera up to the computer to get it off...I'll keep searching but enjoy these in the meantime.
