Actual Snow???

Dallas has experienced crazy weather this week. We have been iced in for the past 3 days (going a little stir crazy trying to entertain Charlie for that long), but it might have been all worth it to wake up the 6-8 inches of snow that had accumulated this morning. We were supposed to just get 1-2 inches, but this was my view from the inside of our house this morning:



And from the outside:





It's lovely, but I am looking forward to it melting tomorrow! The other day Patrick went to Albertson's and started spinning out on ice trying to get up a hill to get back home. (The Albertsons is maybe 1 mile from our house btw.) A policeman was behind him and tried to push Patrick's car up with his car, but failed because he too started spinning out. They both had to reverse down the hill and find alternate routes.

Today, all of Patrick's (crazy) co-workers went into work. Patrick went in at 10:30am. At 11:30am I still hadn't heard from him. He called shortly after and said that it had taken him that long to travel the 5.4 miles to work. In route, he almost hit a telephone pole and then spun out in the middle of a busy intersection. Awesome! I'm going to go ahead and say it was completely not worth it to go to work today. Here's hoping for a safe return babe!

  1. You crazy Texans. :)
    We have a little bit more snow here, but it is in such big piles on the side of the driveway that Ellen can't go in it - she would get lost!
