When we woke up that morning, it was only lightly drizzling with a freezing rain. Both Daniel and I made some comment that I am sure the weather men are wrong and we will probably only get a few flurries. Well boy were we wrong. It quickly turned from rain, to sleet, to snow within about an hour and it snowed from about 10am until 10pm. I have never seen anything like this. It was a complete white out. We couldn't even see the neighbors house across the street because of the blowing snow. Needless to say, we had a white Christmas but it was also about 19 degrees so it wasn't really snow we could get out and play in. When it was all said and done, we had a record breaking 14 inches with snow drifts between three and four feet. Christmas Morning, the storm had stopped and the sun came out for a while, so we were able to get out and take a little walk around the neighborhood to take some pictures. It was so cold but so pretty to see all the snow. Daniel attempted to shovel some of the snow, but soon gave up when our friend came by with his bobcat and plowed our drive way. It was so beautiful but made for a very interesting drive to Houston the next day. (More on that to come in future posts.)
As I am typing this, there are still probably 2 inches of snow in our back yard and in some places more. Here are a few pics from Gage's second snow storm. (It snowed last year when he was only a few months old and it was probably only 2 or three inches.)
